New-York tribune., 1874-11-05


tricts shows an Opposition majority of 2O,5Oo. In
five districts the aggregate Republican majority is
$780, and in the other districts the votes are
about even. The Democratic majority on
the Congressional vote is thus established at
12,2OO. The votes in the LIST. lid, and
lid Congressional districts which embrace
Chicago, Du Page, and Lake Counties exceed
ingly close. All three of these districts have given
Democratic majorities the county ticket, but the
Congressman are still in doubt. None of the sue
cessful candidates will have than 500 majority
The present indications are that Caulfeld, an Irish
Catholic Democrat, is elected over Sidney Smith in
the LIST District Harrison DEM over Ward Rep)
IN the lid District, and Farwell Rep) over Lemoyne
opp in the lid District Farwells majority will
not be more than 100. and his seat
will certainly be contested. 1t is said
that voters in his district
bribed on scale of great magnifcence. his agents
appearing at the pools with money in one hand and
votes in the other. While this is something Of an
eXaggeratiOn, there can be doubt that money was
used protusely and since the next Congress is to be
Democratic, Mr.. LemOyne will have no difficulty in
securing his seat Evidence of the way things went
in Farwelps district may be found in a comparison
of the returns, which shows that the hard wards,
filled with Irish, voted for the Democratic. County,
and State officers and for the Republican Congress
men. A ward which elected notorious gambler AL
derman gives Farwel a majority.
Some interest attaches to the vote in Cook County,
this election being the first test of the Germans on
national issue since their break with the Republican
party. Mr.. Hesing has every reason to be satisfied
with the result. The Democratic county officers are
elected by about 5000 majority. The Germans were
almost sodly Democratic, and they proved to be
most troublesome element for candidates with
money in their purses to manage. Farwell made
absolutely no gains among the Germans of his dis
trict by means of improper influences All the s'ls
picOus defections to him were in Irish wards. The
Germans of this State may hereafter be counted
With the Democratic party.
Outside of the three Chicago districts the Con-
gressonal returns quite full The following list
of Congressman elect is nearly, if not quite correct

4.There may be changes in the above list one way
OF the other, but it is not probable that the COM
pexion of the delegation will be materially altered
by them, the doubtful districts being likely to
divide equally between the two parties. The
delegation will be composed, then, OF nine Demo-
Gratis, six Republicans, and four Independents,
Reformers, or Farmers men.
THE RESULTS IN THE CHICAGO DISTRICTS STILL IN
DOUBT-THE ELECTION OF THE REPUBLICAN
STATE TICKET BY A DECREASED MAJORITY INDI-
GATED.
GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCH]
CHICAGO Nov. A dispatch from Peoria
says that (Dem elected in the IXth District by
q small majority.
The from the Ist IId and lid Congressional
Districts still incomplete, and he vote in all Is so
close that without full returns is is Impossible to state
positively the result In of them. Lake County gives
Farwe only a. majority, but he claims majority OF 1877
il Cook County which, of course. will elect hn Harr-
son Is probably elected Ward in the lf District,
aud the friends Smith and Caulheld claiming
their election in the Ist District.
Reports from the State so far indicate the election OF
the Republican State ticket by decreased majority and
light aggregate vote In most localities the resnt OF
the Congressional election SO far unchanged from last
nights estimates.
