The 1IlInoi, senatorIal Contest.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-A few days ago it was
announced IN these dispatches that Brand,
Democratic, according to the returns to the
cauvassing board was elected to the state
senate from the Sixth district, instead of
Leman, Republican, who had a majority ae-
cording to the police returns, thus giving
the Democrats a majority in the state legisla-
ture on joint ballot and power to elect a
United States senator TO succeed Logan.
Tae difference was found 10 be In
the Second precinct Of the Eighteenth ward.
Tue police returns gave Leman 400 and
Brand 274. The returns to the canvassing
board give Leman 900 and Brand 474, thus
making a change of 400 in favor Of Brand,
and giving him majority of ten. The ig-
urrs on the tally sheet seem TO be the original
Igures, showing no sign of erasure, BUT the
figures in the poll book appear to have orig
nally stood as the return 10 the police, but
subsequently erased and made TO correspond
with the tally sheet. On behalf Of Brand it
was stated the original entry in the poll book
was a clerical error. On behalf Of Leman,
who claimed that the returns had been tam
pered with, it was shown that
in this precinct the Republican candidates
lOT pTC5iOtub duQ EONClubl ACSCANNA ooo auA
40S respectively, while the Democratic can
didates for these offices received 2SS and
2s7, and argued that it was impossible that
such large falling of should have occurred
in his (Lemon's) vote. The matter Of call
ing on the judges to appear and testify, and
of the power of the canvassing board to go
into the matter has been under considera-
ton since, and 8 decision set for tomorrow
afternoon. This afternoon the United States
district attorney presented the matter 70 the
United States grand jury, and the Republican
judge in that precinct. The supervisor Of
election and members Of the canvsssing
board were summoned to appear forthwith.
The board was also ordered TO bring the bal
lot box and returns for that precinct. The
county clerk, in whose charge the ballot box
Is, appeared with the others, and stated that
by the advice of his counsel he declined 10
! bring the ballot box. That part of the order
was waived for the time being, and the clerk
sent for the returns. He did not come back.
aud the grand jury finally adjourned with
orders that all parties be brought before that
body tomorrow morning. In the mean
time squad Of police are guarding the bal
lot box.

Lake City Boom for Cleveland


LAKE CITY, Mimi, Nov. 21.-The an
nouneement that the Democracy Of this
city aud vicinity would celebrate the election
Of Cleveland 10 the presidency brought a
great multitude OF people together here to-
day. Large delegations from Wabashaw,
Red Wing and other points, arrived early in
the day. The Academy Of music being too
small TO hold the assembly, permission was
given by the proprietors Of the skating rink
to..use that edifce. wherein the afternoon
speeches were made by Hon. c. F. Buck, Of
Winona, and Hon. J. F. McGovern, Of Wa
bashaw. In the evening there was a
grand torchlight procession, after which the
assembly again repaired to the rink and
listened TO able addresses BY Hon. c. F.
Bnek. Of winona, and Hon. o. NJ. Han, OF
Red Wing. The remarks Of the orators we're
greeted with unbounded applause, aod al
who witnessed the celebration pronounced Il
a success In the fullest sense aud emineutl!
worthy of the gentlemen who were instru
mental in getting it up. Lake City sends
greetings TO Grover Cleveland, believing tha
be will be the ablest president the countr.
has had since the death Of Abraham Lincoln
and that be is as pure and patriotic states

Gov. Cameron,s Veto.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 21.-The McCor-
mick electoral board bill, recently passed by
the general assembly, was returned to-day by
Gov. Cameron with his objections. The bill
provides for the election by the Legislature Of
county and city boards, to be in
vested with power Of appointing all
registrars and judges Of election, the effect
OF which action is TO place the whole election
machinery of the state in the hands Of the
Democrats. The governor objects 70 the bill
mainly on the ground Of partisan legisla-
tion, insisting the appointment Of registrars
and judges OF election should be from op-
posing political parties, and that the present
bill can be so construed as 10 make nugatory
all attempts TO have different political parties
represented in these appointments. The
senate bin was passed over the veto by

action to-day.

until it had gained such high rate of speed
that it kept humping up against the hors es,

the entire length OF the hill,

CleveIand's Prospective Bride.


New YORK. Nov. 21.-A Buffalo dispatch
to the Times says: "The names of three Of
four prominent society ladies Of Buffalo have
been mentioned at different times as the
prospective bride Of President-elect Cleve-
land. Now rumor has it that the governor
is to marry none whose names have been
heretofore mentioned, but is now TO wed
Miss Jennie Humphrey, daughter of ex-
Judge Jas. NJ. Humphrey, of Niagara
street, this city. Miss Humphrey and her
mother has been in New York since
the 10th inst. where, it is said,
the trousseau OF the bride is being made.
Miss Humphrey is LADY of medium height,
graceful figure, attractive features and
stylish carriage. Her eyes are deep blue aud
give piquant expression 10 her counte-
nance. Her father, Judge Humphrey, filed
an expired term on the superior court bench.
He was defeated at the ensuing election TO

Randall a d the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The southern
wing of the Democracy, having premonition
that President Cleveland may call Mr.. Ran
dali, of Pennsylvania, into his cabinet, have
kindly consented and have assigned him 10
the interior department. This is a sly
method OF keeping Randall entirely out.
There is only one cabinet place, If indeed
any, which Mr.. Randall's friends say he
would accept, and that is the treasury port
folio. Hence, by kindly shifting
him 10 the interior department,
Mr.. Randall is really provided for in
the department of the Cexterior. The effort
of those who bitterly opposed Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination at Chicago to fix up a cabinet
slate for him and are so persistent in it that
it becomes as laughable as monstrous. II
Mr.. Cleveland should make a cabinet which
did not include any senators or ex-senators,
it would be much stronger and more in ac-
cord with his inclinations than 10 draft from
such valu able contingent. A cabinet of
sensible business men might strike the coun-
try as the very thing it has been aching for
for 10 these many years.

BATTLE OF SHILOH.
The Western Art Association to Ex-
hibit Ii i'm Panorama.

Especial Telegram 10 the Slooe
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-A number Of well
known business and professional men OF
Chicago have organized a company with a
capital Of $3.50, 900, 10 be known as the West
ern Art association, the object Of Which is to
erect building and exhibit a panorama Of
the battle of Shiloh. In references TO the
plans OF the association Capt. Andrews, one
Of the directors, said to-day:
The panorama of the battle Of Shiloh win
be centrally located, and win be opened
about the lst Of next June. The building
will be somewhat larger than those already
erected in the city. Work will be begun
upon it in few days, as soon as final ar
raugements have been made relative to the
lease OF lots. Several irst class European
artists have already been engaged TO come
here and paint the picture. It will
be painted in the building, and
in all some twenty artists will be employed
to expedite the work. The painting Will be
as historically accurate as money aud skill
can make 1t. Il will represent the decisive
action which took place at 2:3e O'Clock on
Sunday, April 8, 1852 aud viii ssqv Gen.
sidney Johnston, The Confedvsaie co0s-
mander, as he fell dead from his horse al
that time. The foreground Of the
panorama will contain trees taken from the
battle ground CT Shiloh and life size wax
figures Of Gems. Grant, Buell., Mcpherson,
Rawlius, and also Of Gen. Wallace, who was
killed in the action represented. For nearly
two weeks we have had surveyors at work on
the old battle ground, making aceur-
ate measurements, and in a few
DAYS shall take party oi
officers who took part in the engagement
and artists TO the ground to refresh theiI
memories on points to be represented
Among those going in this party will bt
Generals Prentiss, Tuttle, Mcdowell, At
kins and BEEN aud a number Of others who
were present at the battle. All the vel
known officers who were Ia the action viii
be faithfully represented as they looked Al
the time, and every other point Of Interest
will be taken from nature.
Shiloh was the decisive battle of the ives
during the rebellion and the bloodIest. d
the Al, 900 who went iuto the action on to,
Confederate side l0,500 were killed d
wounded and the loss Of the Union arm
was also very great. The battle wa
decisive one, because there wa
no retreat for the Union forces. They oceu

Tennessee river. On April 5 the Federal

Postmaster Hatton and the National
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 2I.-Postmaster Gen
eral Hatton sent the following letter to-day
to Mr.. Joseph Medill, editor Of the Chicago
Tribune:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Dear sir: In an
article in your paper November II, in which
Mr.. Clarksou, member of the Republican
National committee, gives many but in my
opinion, not all reasons why Mr.. Blaine was
defeated, find the following:
1.-The order OF Postmaster General Hatton re-
quiring the New York postofice, with its thous-
ands Of clerks and carriers. TO be kept open,
prevented enough Republicans from voting to
have overcome what is now claimed as Mr..
Cleveands plurality. The usual order was
posted in New York offices Monday saying that
after 10 O'Clock on election day the clerks could
take holiday, Monday night, by Mr. Hatton's
order, this overruled, and the clerks living
in distant parts of the city, who had TO go TO
work before the polls opened and iemain after
they were closed, were unable 10 vote"
No such order as that referred 10 by Mr..
Clarkson was issued by myself. There is no
law authorizing the closing of postofiices on
election day. Prior TO The election, dis
patches were received from many places ask
ing authority to close the offices. These were
answered, as has aiwaas been the custom Of
the department, to the effect there was no
|
election day. Mr.. Clarkson says my order
was issued Monday night. If Mr. Clarkson
did not know his chief of com mittee, Mr..
Elkins, did know that Twas not in Washing
ton at that time, but in Burlington, Iowa.
| Theifolowing dispatches will show:
| NEW YORK, Nov. Frank Hation, Postmas-
ter General, Burlington, Iowa: 1t is said at the
postotice in this city that the letter carriers
not to have their usual holiday during the elec-
ton, and thai an order had been issued TO that
| effect. This will 10 many votes. Can you
telegraph some remedy? Answer
S. B. ELKNs.
To this replied there was no law making
an election day holiday, but that the post
master at New York, if he desired, could Ger.
tainly arrange To allow the emp.oyes In his
Office to vote without seriously
interfering with the delivery of mail
1t seems the above dispatch from Mr..
Elkins, or one similar, was also sent to Mr..
Hazen, who was then acting postmaster gen
eral. and who answered it as follows, the
message being sent the night before election
H. G. Pearson, Postmaster New York: Pleas,
give the employees full opportunity TO exercise
their right of suffrage.
A. d. HAZEN, Acting Postmaster General.
Had Mr. Clarkson or Mr.. Elkius beer
postmaster general at the time they might
have issued an order closing all postotfices
in the United States during election day, bu
1 hardly think they would have done SO aftei
reading the law. Very respectfully,
