CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The election in this
city and county to-day is for a justice ofthe
supreme court of Illinois, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Justice L. Lyle
Dickey, and judge of the superior court of
Cook county. The republicans nominated
Benjamin d. Magrudcr for the supreme
court, and the democrats have concurred in
this nomination. The republicans present
Gwynn Garnet for superior court judge and
the democrats VIM. J. Hynes. Both parties
have presented their own candidates for
commissioners, and owing to the failure OF
a portion of the republican press 10 support
all the republican nominees split ticket
has been printed, and is being offered to
voters day, containing the names Of
portion of tho nominees of each party. The
contest over the election of county commits
sioners is provoked by the condition of the
county finances and the declaration that the
present management has been reckless and
extravaganza. The chief contest to-day,
however, is over the adoption or rejection
of new election law framed by the last SEES
sion of the Illinois legislature. The new
law provides for small voting precincts and
is framed very closely after tho New York
law. The republicans and the independent
movement favor the new law, while the
democrats are opposing its adoption. The
weather is clear and cool this morning, and
there is the promise of full average vote.
