Wisconsin and Massachusetts. Cleve-
land voted at Rnfale, and Immediately

turns. Blaine, surrounded by his
friends, received tho returns by private
wire at his homo in Augusta.

general indications are that Wheeler,
Democrat, will carry the latter. There
has been no disturbance anywhere In
the State.

where Ethreet, Republican, runs him
closely. All eight of the Democratic
Congressman are doubtless elected.

the day will be one of comparative quiet.

Harrison IL, 1882, Oglesby 1O,2SO. Gen.
Logan was receiving dispatches over
private wires in room ct the Grand
Pacific Hotel. He was unwilling to
prophesy as to the result. He consid-
ers from the returns he is receiving that
New York will not give 10, 900 majority
either way, but considers the Republic
ans to have the best chances. He says
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts
and New Hampshire safe. His advices
from Connecticut are encouraging. He
has had no reports from New Jersey or
West Virginia yet. On the other hand
the Independent Republicans are count
ing Illinois as doubtful State. Two
men were killed at the polls here to-day,
one by United States deputy marshal,
a notorious character known as 'Blnck
Jack" Yattaw. One 'lundred and fifty
one precincts, including 63 precincts in
Chicago, give Oglesby, Republican can
didate for Governor, Sc, 237, and Har-
rison, Democrat, 29.317. In 172 pre-
cincts, outside of Cook county, the net
Democratic gain is 1926 Eighty five
precincts in the city give Cleveland 26,-
925; Blaine, Is, ,291. Gen. Logan receiv-
ed telegram from New York stating
that the indications were that New York
had gone for Blaine and Logan by 10,-
900 majority.
