rison Over the Vote Of 1884.
CHICAGO, Nov 6-From returns received at
the City Hall mp to $50 o'clock it Is estimated
that ClevslaDd's plurality in this city will be
from 5000 to 5000. and that Palmer DEM for
Governor, will have plurality of from 1000 to
5000. Returns from the county towns and
country districts in Cook county will. to great
extent, neutralize this 10 1884 Blaine carried
the city by ESQ plurality and Cook county By
s.642 In the same year, Carter II. Harrison
dem. J, for Governor, carried the city by about
5000 plurality. but the county towns reduced
this to I03.
Very few returns have bean received from the
counties of Illinois The polls outside OF Cook
county are held open until near P. NJ, and in
many places the vote will not be reported before
morning. The county-seats and immediate ad-
jacent towns. however will mostly report be-
fore midnight A few towns In Republican
counties show slight gain for Harrison over
Blaines vote IN 1884, while Fifer, for Govern
or, falls behind Harrison in nearly every place.

Palmer. Democrat for Governor, 81. 195. In

In southern Illinois it has rained at several
points most OF the day. very large vote Is re-
ported from sIl points, and the ticket is long
one full count will not be made until very late.
All reports so far received outside of Cook coun-
ty show a small Republican gain, which, il
maintained, will give Harrison several thousand
gain over Blains's vote in 1884 Palmer's vote
for Governor is greater than Clevelapd's ut all
points yet heard from. II the Republican gains
continue In the same proportion the State will
give Harrison a majority Of from $1,000 to

Chicago cast 100, 600 ballots to-day, and did it
almost without q fight 1t was glorious fall
day, aud the election throughout the city was
school affair. The voting was quiet
and steady, characterized by an
almost entire absence OF hurrah and the intense
interest felt made no outward show until night
fall, when the crowds at the bulletin boards
undoubtedly the largest ever assembled here.
Then the cheering and countsrcheerine was
something extraordinary. The estimate Of a
total vote of over 100000 in the city
closely approaches the whole registration, and
far exceeds any vote In the previous history of
this city Returns were phenomenally slow,
and at 11:30 p. n. but little over two-thirds of
the returns in the city had been received,
and not nearly so much from the outlying
townships. An analysis Of the Cook county
figures at ll:30 p NJ. and such returns from the
State as were at hand. showed, according to the
Daily News, that while the State had gone for
Harrison by a reduced majority, Gen. Palmer the
Democratic nominee for Governor, WAS elected.
This figuring was based on the fact that the
Chicago city returns. then in. gave Palmer Q
lead OF 800, an amount which it seemed could
not be made MP in the State at large, 40 ap-
peared from the scattering returns. In nearly
every precinct in Chicago, Fifer, the Republican
nominee for Governor, ran behind his ticket,
and in some sections Of the city he
WAS mercilessly knitted by that por-
ton of the labor element which
