CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-There is great political
ommotion, almost a panic, in this city to-
bav, and the Republicans h were conf
emily counting on $4,000 majority In Cook
bounty a few days ago, are discussing the
Iances of a defeat. With one of the best
ickets ever placed before the people, and
with a weak candidate on the other side, they
ire neglecting their opportunity and are very
kely to score another disgraceful defeat, I'M
less they stop trifling and put in sharp work
rom now on until the night of election day.
This state of affair is partly due to overconfi-
ence and neglect to properly recognize the
Ecandinayians, but it is much more largely due
0 too much Grant boom. Ii the Republic
ran ticket is defeated it will be chiefly due to
he ill-timed and injudicious attempts of his
friends to turn the entire attention Of the
party to welcoming Grant. The danger lies
n the possibility Of Illinois being considered
h doubtful State in 1880.
