counties.

show that the Republicans of New Jersey have
gained one State Senator and two or three

one districts. In these the Republicans elect
ten and Democrats one Or The Senators
elected last year, who hold over this year,

majority of between sixty and seventy on joint

Illinois, In Illinois elections were held for
county officers. General interest was conferred
principally in the contest in Chicago and Cook
county. The Republicans carried the county,
electing their entire ticket by nlajorities rang
ing from 900 to IL 600. The Republican ma
jority in the city proper is about 5000.

members of the General Assembly, and created
more interest than any election in that State
for many years. The issue was solely on the
repeal of the McCulloch Debt bill, settlement
of the State debt submitted by the creditors,
passed by the last Legislature. The re-
turns indicate that majority of the people in
the State are opposed to a settlement of the
debt on the basis Of the McCulloch bill, and, in
fact, on any other basis that will be acceptable
to the creditors
