The CHICAGO Election.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The official canvass
of the returns from the recent election
was furnished this afternoon. The result
places beyond doubt the reelection of
Henry C.Senne in the Fifth commissioners
district by a majority of Al votes, and of
Albert G.. Lane as county superintendent
of schools, over Parker, Democrat, byR179
votes. Michael w. Ryan, Democrat, is
elected county clerk over Il. J. Galloway
by 1,277 majority; Richard Prendergast is
elected county judge over G. C. Kohlsaat
bp 1,157 majority, and N. B. Boyden is
elected coroner over Charles II. Harris by
1929 majority. Scipp's majority for
county treasurer is 2,414, and Sennott's for
probate clerk 1851. Hanchett's majority
is 3,s43. Bryan Donnelly, Democrat, is
defeated for the Legislature in the Ninth
district by August Wendell, Republican,
by SIP votes, and filed a notice of contest
in the county court to-day. He alleged
that the returns from the first precinct of
the Thirteenth and the eighth precinct of
the Fourteenth wards were improper and
not at all correct.

The Fifth IOsca District.


MARsHALLTowN, Ia. Nov. 15.-The con-
gressional middle in this (the Fifth) dis
trict is getting more so, and there is con-
siderable excitement. At the official can-
vass yesterday the returns from Taylor
township, this county, which gave Wilson,
Republican,, a majority of forty, were
thrown out because they were signed by
only two of the three judges, electing
Frederick, Democrat, by seventeen votes.
To-day, however, the board forwarded to
Des Moines with the board poll-book a
supplementary statement to the state
board giving the facts as they exist. This
is Frederick's home and Wilson has also
been here all day. In response to a CUES.
ton Mr.. Wilson said: II have come to
the district to contest this matter just as fan
as it can be contested. If were elected
by only M majority it would still be my
duty. The supervisors acted without full
knowledge of the statute, and as soon az
they found their mistake they sent in 6
statement of the facts.
Meanwhile the Republicans are no
sleeping. A telegram from lama County
tonight also that a case SINH
lar to the one in Marshall has been dis
covered there, the returns from a TOWNSHIP,
which gave thirty-three majority for Fred
erick being signed by only two judges
The state board, which is, of course, solidl,
Republican, will hardly throw out one ant
not the other. and if both should be throw,
out, Wilson will go in by sixteen majority

4 Descendant of Washington in Poverty.
DR.. Lawrence A. Washington, said to be
a grand nephew of Gen. Washington, has
just died in England. He left a widow and
family in necessitous circumstances, and
the Rev. Herbert Watson of Northampton,
writes to the London NeaUs, suggesting
that the admirers of Gen. Washington in
England should come to their assistance.
sTheir Inheritance says DIR. Watson, econ
sists chiefly in some historical relics of
their great kinsman, which, however in
teresting to the family as relics. can add
nothing to their comfort. There are a
suit of clothes in silk rep in a good state
of preservation, worn by the general at
the time Of his first Inauguration, the
sword worn by him on state occasions, and
the sabre used during the revolutionary
war. They possess, besides, fifty letters
written by George Washington to his
brother Samuel, the doctors grandfather.
One of them was written from Valley
Forge and gives a vivid picture of the suf-
ferings endured by the revoiutienists,
which nave since become a matter of his
tory. Many of the letters give directions
about his slaves and farm affairs. The
family is DESTROYS of parting with them
for an equivalent in money"

though they needed little instruct
ing, how they decide cases of
this character. The Democrats now have
an apparent majority in the next house of
about seventy, and when they have adopted
the report of their committee on elections
it won't matter much whether any Repub-
licans attend the sessions of the house. 1t
is predicted that only three Republicans
from Ohio will survive.
There seems to be some misunderstood
ing as to the time fixed for the meeting of
the committee on ways n means, which
is thus explained by John M. Carson, clerk
| of that committee: "On July Is the com
| mittee adopted, and the same day the
house passed a resolution authorizing the
committee to sit during the recess. and in
| strueting them to assemble on the second
Tuesday in November, at Washington, to
| consider revenue measures. Subsequently .
tacit understanding was reached among the
| members Of the committee that the first
meeting should not take place until Nov. 20
| or Fl, because it was considered that the
day named in the resolution followed so
closely upon the day of the general cleo
ton, that members living in distant parts
of the country could not conveniently
reach Washington within a week. It was
therefore informally decided to meet
on Nov. 20 or 81, and in accordance with
this understanding and by direction of the
chairman. Judge Kelly, Mr.. Carson has
notified the members af the committee to
assemble on Monday next, Nov. 20, at noon.

"Aswe announced last week. the State
Central Committee met in St. LOUIS
last Thursday and deliberated on the
interests of the Republican party. As
result they determined by vote of
20 to s, that it would be better for all
not to have a State convention, so
they declined to issue call for one.
Of course, from what had previously
been said, they we're bound to make a
hubbub. The Globe-Democrat Is hot,
and We expect to see its columns heav-
lily laden with abuse of Filley and com
mittee. Of course, these twenty men
have been "seen" by the chairman and
won over to his idea. as though twenty
men like these had no independence
about them.

reason 10 change our opinion. These
gentlemen were fully competent to
