was the partial democratic defeat in Cook
county. The democrats ought to have car.
ried the county by 5000 majority, but by
making some very injudicious nominations
they lost their sheriff (McGarigls), elected
but one of the four congressman and elect.
ed fewer by dozen senators and represen-
tstives than they ought to have done. They
elected their county commissioners, county
clerk, county judge, probate judge, and
gave the democratic state ticket hand
some majority.

while the house is so close that the official
figures alone can decide which party has
