ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-Dispatches from
Belleville, His, say Hon. w. Il. Morrison,
democrat, for election to congress from
the 18th district has been defeated by his
republican opponent, Judge John Baker,
by a majority Of about one thousand
The returns will not be complete before
to morrow, but enough has been re
ceiyed to make it appear certain
that Morrison has really been defeated.
Official returns from Madison and Wash
ington counties give Baker ma jority of
72O in the former, and 219 in the
latter, and estimated returns from ST.
Clair county give him 250 and from
Bond county 300 majority. Morrison's
only ajority is in Monroe county,where
according to official returns, he has ZAP
ma jority. Bakers total ma iOrity, based
upon an official count of three counties
and an estimated count of two, is 747,
but the republicans claim that when
the full returns are read tins will be
swelled to 1000. Mr.. Morrison himself,
according to a despatch from Waterloo,
his place of residence, comedies his de
feat. Mr.. Morrison has been candidate
for congress thirteen times, and has been
defeated but three times; twice by Judge
Baker, his present victor, and once by
John r. Hay. The result of the election
is said to be a great surprise throughout
the district, particularly to the demo

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Complete returns
show that the next Illinois legislature
will stand as follows: Senate-republi
cans, 30; democrats, 49, united labor, l.
House republicans, rs; democrats, &c;
united labor, 7; prohibitIonists, ,. The
reelection of Elk Speaker Haines to the
legislature is confirmed. Later advices
show definitely that Gesr, rep, is elected
in the Eleventh district by 400 majority
over Neece, dem. In tho Tenth district
Gen. Post, rep, claims a majority.
of 53 over WOrthington. The defeat of
Morrison is conceded by the democrats.
In reply to telegram Morrison himself
admits his defeat, adding, But | do not
care to say anything of the methods en-
ployed to obtain the majority for Baker"
Bakers majority is 767. Full semi official
returns in the tenth district give Spring
er, dem. a majority of 1873 over Connol-
ly, rep. Mr.. Springer telegraphs as fol-
lows over his own signature:
Complete unofficial but reliable re-
turns from all counties in the district
gave me nearly 500 majority. l attribute
my reduced majority to the efforts of the
tariff monopolists outside of the district.
The effective opposition was so secret
that l was unable to detect it and where
danger was least feared the loss was
greatest. These disappointed on ac
count of public patronage contributed in
some degree to reduce my former major
ity but such influences were insignificant
in comparison with the opposition from
the protectionists.
The democratic committee III Knox Co
claim that Posts majority in that county
Is SS less than reported. This would
give Worthington, dem, a majority in
the district of 30.
The republicans concede the election
of Landes, dem, in the 18th district.
In regard to the I'd district there is
nothing absolutely decisive. The repub-
lican state central committee assert that
Gleason (united labor is surely elected.
1t is claimed an error has been discover
ed, the rectification of which gives him
! ~ majority over Lawler (dem.) The
! democrats stoutly maintain that LawIer
has clear majority of over 60. It will
| probably take the official canvass to de-
/ termine the result.
! CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-A Daily News, Alton,
! special says: Morrison's defeat is to be
! attributed to the efforts of the knights
/ of Labor and TO the sxertions of John
/ jarrett, of Pennsylvania, who has been
| in the district long enough to influence a
/ large labor vote in the direction of Nor
rison's defeat.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-PoIice returns give
Lawler the Second district by 81 votes
and his SUCCESS is pretty generally con
| ceded. The official canvass may change
the result, but it is not probable.
| CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Eliiah ". Haines, in
I dependent, who served as speaker of the
Illinois house of representatives two
years ago, ran again this year as an in
dependent democrat. and is thought to
| have heen elected.
