In doing so we, as an Independent journal
do not desire it to he understood that by
this act we necessarily indorse all the DEM

we pledge ourselves to stand in line with it

THE LEGISLATIVE OUTLOOK.
Bloomington Bulletin.

There is strong probability that the
Democrats will elect majority of the next
house Of representatives of the general as
sembly, and possibility that they may
have a rnajory on joint ballot.
There are 35 Of the 81 senatorial dis
tricts in which the Republicans and Demo
Gratis together Will have but three candi-
dates tor the three representatives., OF
these 81 districts there are 10 Republican
and 16 Democratic. In each of the 10
Republican districts the Republicans will
elect two (3S), in each OF the Democratic
districts one 06)- total of "a. In each of
the 10 Republican districts the Democrats
will elect one 09), and in each Of the six
teen Democratic districts two (32)- total
of 81. In the sixteen remaining districts
both parties nominate two candidates. and
each will elect one, which adds sixteen
more to the number assured to each, which
makes the count stand Republicans 70 /;
Democrats, So. These members are
absolutely assured of election, and can only
be displaced by third party candidates, an
event which is more likely to displace Re
publicans than Democrats.
There remains yet third members in the
sixteen contested districts, which really are
the only element Of doubt IN the election.
The Democrats have assured sNtysseyen
members and the Republicans seventy, we
will have to capture the third member in
ten of the districts in order to get MAORI
ty of one (77) in the house, or the Republi
cans, to get a majority, will have to get
seven. Three of the contested districts are
Democratic the Twenty sixth peoria
county with 600 plurality against Garfield /;
The Thirty-eighth (Macoupin and Morgan
counties) with $50 plurality against Gar
field and the forty first (St Clair county
with thirty plurality against Garfield.
There is not the slightest reason for beiev,
ing the Democratic will fail to handsomely
increase their majorities IN all these dis
tricts, and it is safe to estimate the third
member in each of them as Democratic,
which makes the Democratic count seventy
There yet remains thirteen districts, all
Republican, in which the Democrats are
contesting for two members. These districts
are as follows:

WHY NOT CAIRO.

The scietifc American of the 18th INST
contains the following.
"Wantcd. Liberal Inducements and lacil.
tiles for locating large iron works. Address
Iron, Manchester, n H."
There IS probably no city in the country
which could offer better and greater natural
and other facilities for large iron works
than Cairo could. Her close proximity to
lneXhau5libIe supplies of all the raw mate
rial used in the manufacture of iron, her
eight railroads which will soon be increased
10 ten, her two great rivers and her entire
safety from overhows by these,
and her consequent unparalleled
receiving and shipping facilities
all these nre inducements which commend
it to the highest consideration of the gen
tlemen who contemplate the establishment
OF iron works in the west. II may be also
that the city or citizens could hold out
pecuniary inducements which would be of
Importance to the projectors. 1t might
prove OF much benefit to the city If cor
respondence were opened by some of our
prominent citizens with the authors of the
above advertisement.

Rep. Plurality.

Notwithstanding the ueayy msjoriues
ia the Chicago districts, there are the best
prospects OF success. In the third, Judge
Bradwell will probably run independent
aud poll, a. be did the .ast time he ran
independent, heavy vote, almost in.
tirely Republican, when he came near being
elected. The Sixth district is the German
district, to say which is sufficient. The
Ninth il also German, with two sets Of Re.
publican candidates in the field and a
very bitter fight raging that will be carried
TO the polls. The Fifteenth is confidently
claimed by the local Democrats, The
Twenty.third will be carried by the loss to
the Republicans Of both liquor and prohi-
btion vote, the first going to the Democrats
and the second going to their own nominee
Faucet Plumb. The Twenty and
Thirty-second will be carried by the same
causes as the Twenty. third. The Forty
first will be carried by the liquor aud green
back votes being cast for the Democratic
nominee and the Republican Prohibition
vote for their own nominee, Cyrus Happy
The Forty-second is very close and the
Democrats will overcome the majority
through "of-year" causes; and the same
causes are likely to carry the Forty fourth

standing the Republican majority, The
fifty is YoungbloOd's district, he having
been endorsed by third party.
Assuming success in all these districts,
the Democrats will have thirteen more
members, which added to their seventy
assured, makes eighty-thrce or six more
than majority. Now, if these districts go
Democratic on representatives, there is no
reason why they will not go democratic on
senators and elect the eight senators to be
chosen in them. The Democrats have eight
hold over senators, and will elect ten in
the conceded Democratic districts, a total
with the possible gain Of eight of twenty
six, majority of one, making the vote on

Murder and Bank Robbery.

A daring murder and bank robbery
occurred in Waupac, Wis, recently, the
victim being FL. @. Mead, wealthy
banker. He has used portion of the
bank as sleeping room, and taken his
meals at hotel. He did not, however,
come to breakfast Sunday morning, nor
to dinner at noon, and a messenger
from the hotel was dispatched to the
bank to learn the reason. Repeated
knocks at the door brought no re-
sponse, and the back window was re-
sorted to. The wire screen had been
cut out and the upper sash lowered on
on the floor. Within lay the body of
the banker. Blood was spattered on
the walls and there was large pool on
the floor. 1t was evident that he had
been sitting at small table in the back
room writing, and, hearing a noise at
the window, had turned around and re-
ceived full charge of shot from a gun,
completely tearing the nose, eyes and
part of the brain from the head. The
assassin or assasslAs then climbed
through the window, went to the safe,
which was still unlocked, and rified the
money-chest, taking several thousand
dollars in currency, gold and bonds.
The night was a stormy one and one
we'll chosen for such deed.

October Skies.

The Providence Press says All the
the planets save Uranus appear in the
evening sky during the month of Octo-
ber. OF these, however, Mercury and
Mars will not be visible on account of
their unfavorabie position. Mercury
sets in the first part of October soon
after six o'clock, and Mars few minutes
later, while Neptune, rising rather more
than an hour after the other two have
set, is invisible on account of its dis
tance. The most brilliant object in the
west for the month will be the planet
Venus, which sets at 7.15, while in the
east Jupiter and Saturn will be of in
creasing interest as the month advances.
On the first of the month Jupiter rises
at g. 40, and on the 31st two hours later.
Saturn rises at 7.45 at the beginning OF
the month, and at the end at 5.45.
Uranus, as morning star, rises at 4.26
and sets at 4 As in the afternoon. Jupi-
ter now lies in the western part OF the
constellation GemiEi, and Saturn in
Taurus, southwest of the Pleiades and
Hyades.

Arabi's Cousin.

Abd-el-Al Bey, who held out so stub
bornly at Damietta after the fall of
Cairo and the capture of Arab, and who
was incorrectly reported to have been
killed by his own troops in a highly
dramatic manner, was the most soldier
like of the three Colonels who precip-
itated war in Egypt. He was bon
riUant, recklessly brave, and was almost
adored by his black Soudanee troops.
He was cousin of Arabi Bey, and TO
that fact owed his rank. Last March
Arab announced his intention to pro-
mote him to the rank of Colonel from a
very subordinate position. As ADD ell
Al could neither read nor right, and had
done nothing to warrant the promotion
other officers pointed ont to Arabi that
such step was contrary to precedent
and discipline. "What of that p re-
torted Arab she is my cousin p And
that ended the discussion.
