ILLINOIS,.

The returns from Illinois come in very
slowly, and even at this late hour it is i'm
possible to say whether Blaine's majority
in the state is 5,00Oto 10000 It's conceded
however, that the vote between Harrison
and Oglesby is very close, and that there is
reasonable ground to hope that Harrison
has been elected. As to the Legislature,
carefully prepared tables in yesterdays
Times show the Democrats have majority
of one in the state senate and seven in the
house, giving the Democrats majority of
5 on joint ballot, thus insuring the election
of Democrat TO the United States Senate
in the place of John A. Logan. Good!

for his election, is fired out of La Sale
county with majority OF over 600. The
entire Democratic county ticket is elected
by majorties ranging from 300 TO LOO,
