CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The uncertainty as TO
the general result of the election has pro-
voked great interest in the late returns, and
the day in this city has been one Of high ex
citement. The streets were thronged all Of
Tuesday night by waiting crowds in front OF
the bulletin boards, and the conflicting pa
ture OF the reports allowed the adherents Of
both parties TO cheer for the success OF their
candidates. remarkable sight was pre-
sented by these large crowds still lingering
in the heart of the city after the first editions
OF the morning papers had appeared on the
streets. The evening papers issued
hourly editions throughout the
entire night to meet the craving
of the populace for the latest intelligence
from New York and other doubtful states.
AS the day advanced the crowds about the
newspaper offices again swclled into such
proportions as 10 blockade travel, and while
there was wild cheering by Republicans and
Democrats alike, the temper of the crowds
was excellent throughout. The returns from
Illinois come in slowly, and of a nature 10
cause doubt as TO possible maiorities, but
the state was generally conceded TO the Re
pubiicans, both on the state and presidential
ticket. The chairman Of the Republican
state committee made a claim during the
afternoon of 20, 900 majority on governor

gained the state senators from the Forty
eighth, Forty-second, Thirty-second and

wiped out the Republican majority in the
last legislature and have gained control of
both houses. Returns from all the precincts
of the city but two are in, and the vote as
estimated is: Harrison 51,69O, Oglesby

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-That portAn of
Chicogo's population which went VI bed at
all last night got up very early this morning
and invested in a morning paper. The best
that the morning papers could do, however,
vas to add suspense to uncertainty. A cold
and raw atmosphere, with streets a shocking
raproach to "Chicago's best,' did not serve

siasm, so to speak, and with so important an
issue hanging fire so aggravatingly, none but
the cynic or the stole could appear indiffer-
ent, and of these to classes not solitary in
dividual was observed. Even on the board
of trade, where the excitement Of speculation
usually transcends all other sentiments,
ninety-nine men were discussing the respee-
tive chances of Blaine and Cleveland where
one appeared to have such thing as pos
sible trade on his mind. These political dis
cussions on 'change and in 1.-THE alley
however, were much less boisterous than
during the week Immediately preceding the
election. Ardent Democrats had ceased to
wrangle ferociously with their old time enc
mics, and stauneh Republicans were almost
forbearing in their treatment of the mug
wumps. The force OF example and all par
tisan display for effect was no longer
of any use now that the ballot had been cast,
and consequently radical partisanship had
died out suddenly except in respect to the
result and had given place to a general
anxiety to know the truth, be it good or bad.
The hourly issues of the daily papere were
largely seized upon as soon as printed, and
kilograms received by commission houses,
which occasionally found their way on the
floor, were read and discussed by crowds of
spectators, which, in numbers, shamed the
paltry gathering in the wheat pit The
more youthful of the speculative gentry were
at times inclined to be boisterous, but il
was widely different kind of boisterousness
from that which before election found vent
in Comanche yells and wild rough and tum-
BILE demonstrations.
