IN CHICAGO.
Indications OF a Sweeping Majority
for the Democrats.

CHICAGO, Nov 5.-The election held in
Cook county to-day was for two judges,
n recorder of deeds and board of coun-
~ commissioners. Tonight indications
are at 1880 that the democrats
have secured a sweeping victory. 1t is
thought they have captured the board
of commissioners, which will now stand
ten democrats 10 five republicans. The
recordcrship is neck and neck between
stephens (rop.l and Crawford (dem.)
with the chances iavorlng the latter.
Al II p. NJ. the recordorship is not yet
settled, and full returns will probably be
necessary to determine 1t. The best es-
Inmates, however, give Crawford tho
election by 600 plurality. The bar candi-
dates for judgeship, one democrat and
ono republican, were unopposed.
2;l5 A. M.--l.atcr returns received
have changed the figures on tho recor-
dership, and at this hour the election of
Stephens (rcpublican) Is generally con-
ceded.

Sr. Louis, Nov 5.--On Saturday and
Sunday evenings the anarchists of this
city will hold meetings to commemorate
the death of their brother anarchists in
Chicago on November IL, 1887. The
revolutionary sentiment is apparently

has been distributed all over the coun.

GovEnNoR MoonE's failure to at.

GOVERNOR MOoRE's failure to at
tach his signature to the constitu-
ton forwarded to Washington by
official messenger is not justified by
his explanation. He did wrong In
taking anything for granted, or In
jumping at conclusions. The law
gave simple and explicit directions
TO the territorial officers. A school
hoy need not have erred in following
these instructions. However, no
great harm can follow the error.

ing, and leaves the people on that

ance; voting proceeded with dispatch,

friction caused by II conflict of opinion
with regard to the duties of precinct and
other officers, hut 1t was insignificant,
