ILLINOIS,.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The election in this
city and Cook county today has been for a
justice of the supreme court of Cook county
and county commissioner. The contest
over the election of county commissioner was
provoked by the condition of the county fl
nances and the declaration that the present
management has been reckless and extrava-
CANT. The chief contest today however is
over the adoption or rejection OF the election
law framed at the last session Of the Illinois
legislature. The new law provides for small
voting precincts and is framed very closely
after the New York law. The Republicans
and Independents favor the. new law, while
the Democrats are opposing its adoption.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1885 p. n.-From returns
thus far received the 1nter-Ocean figures
that the city election law is undoubtedly car
ried. but other authorities are not so certain
1t looks as though the Democrats are gaining
ground where the county commissioners are
concerned.

turns which make it a certainty that the new
city election law is carried. Two Republl-
cans and two Democrats have been elected
county commissioners. Other names on the
ticket are still in doubt.
Now that it is known that the election law
is carried popular interest has largely sub
sided.

The Ferry Landing.

To the Editor of the Press:
That was a colossal scheme which the
Mayor unfolded to the city government on
Monday evening, to furnish landing for all
the island steamers, to accommodate pleasure
travel during the summer months. He init
mates that he may oppose public landing
on Portland Pier, which is designed to build
up and accommodate the business interests
existing between our neighboring town OF
Cape Elizabeth and the city, but would favor
a landing for island steamers for pleasure
travel But few seemed to share the views
of the Mayor, and the Common Council re.
fused to pass vote opposing the location OF
a highway on Portland Pier. The Mayor
has not been backward in his administration
in favoring appropriations for celebrations
and like purposes, but when a public i'm
provement is asked for in the substantial
interests of the people and to afford accom-
modations to the laboring classes, ne found
every time posing against 1t.

The Controversy Between Teener
and HanIan.

In regard to the Associated Press dispatches
from Toronto stating that Hanlan had published
Teemers correspondence In which the latter offer
ed to sell out in the recent race, Teemer, who was
found at McKeesport Monday, says: 81 wrote the
letters for the reason that Hanlan would not row
me unless gave guarantee that he should beat
me-" When Teemer had been making negotia-
tions with Hanlan that oarsman made the require
ments so imperative that Teemer almost gave the
proposed match up for hopeless, and when he
came home he was still greatly impressed with
the fact that Hanlan was stubborn in his determi-
nation and would not row him unless some such
guarantee was given him, After the match was
made Teemer said Hanlan went to Wallace Ross,
who was training Teemer, several times to have
him persuade Teemer to lose the race and let
Hanlan win It,
Mr.. Volk, Teemer's backer, was seen later He
said he knew nothing of the correspondence
Ieemer had written to Hanlan without his knowl
edge, He was of the opinion that a certain clique
wanted to run Teemer and that 1t was scheme
to fleece him. Hanlan never approached him 70
bny the race and to the best of his knowledge ne
never approached Teemer,
