Special DtsDateh to IAe Chseaao 1TlouHe
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 12.--.As returns come
in they increase the Republican majority in
Wisconsin, as it is estimated that the major
ity for tile lowest candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket will be 5000, aad that the highest
will exceed 1900. I.usk, for Governor, will
receive 10000 majority. The Senate will be
twenty-three Republicans and ten DEM
ocrats; the Assembly, fifty mine Republicans.
thirty-nine Democrats. and three -Iildepend-
ents. This is all the majority III each House
OF the Legislature necessary for the gool of
any party, and Is really better than u larger
one, The Temperance vote will reach about
1900, and the. Greenback will not exceed
1000. These figures approximate the real
rt.suIt of the recent election III Wisconsin,
aud they ought to be very satisfactory to the
Republicans Of the State.

The Warden accompanied me to the cell OF
the assassin, and permitted short interview

the legal aspects of the situation was denied.
Guiteau said lie was feeling very we'll, and
was ready for trial. He spoke with his
CHARACTERISTIC 1aR1.oG ASCE AND VANITY,
which is always Aattered by the slightest at
tention, and seemed to think he would yet be
appreciated and recognized as public bcne-
factor. The guards tell many anecdotes of:
Guitcau's life at the Jail. One of them said
today that about two weeks before the as
sasination Guiteau had come out there and
told him that he was a stranger FROM Chi
cago, and wanted to inspect the jail The
visitors appearance was against him. and

the recognition was instant and mutual, and
this time he was admitted:

den. OBTAINING ,ne as i was about to leave
the Jail with this remark, he showed ME a
hattened bullet with a peculiar jagged edge.
Holding it up lie asked me: "Who does this
look like?" The answer was, "Guiteau,"
for the profile was exactly his. It was
speaking likeness, aud one could almost see
the eyes twitch.

"that is

out upon the wall and fell iii just that shape:
have shown this bullet to, L suppose, a
hundred people, and asked whose likeness
was in the profile, and every one of them has
instantly said Guiteau."
The likeness was so perfect that charged
the Warden with playing a practical joke Oh
people. and intiuated that the profile had
been filed down skiilfAly to selnblance of
Guiteau.
THAT Is what everybody says" he re-
plied, "but it is not so. This is precisely
the way in which the bullet fell-''
Looking at it very carefully, it was evi-
dent that the lead had not been touched by
any instrument to give it its peculiar shape
