BosroN, Nov. 80 days experience
seemed to prove beyond doubt the success
of the Australian system of voting.
In this city the voting places presented a
remarkably quiet appearance. The voting
proceeded with dispatch ana the voters en-
joycd freedom from the opportunities of
the ballot distributors never known before.
There was some slight friction caused by
conflict of opinion regarding the duties of
precinct and other officers, but 1T was insig-
nificant and made but little trouble.
With regard to The ballots themselves,
there was little or no complaint. From all
over the state the reports indicate very
quiet election and light vote. The returns
come in slowly. There Is probably not the
slightest doubt that the republican candidate
for governor is elected by good majority

throughout the state. Both parties IN this

usual strength up to noon. Contrary to ex-
pectations not ripple of discord has oc-
Cured.

ing the majority in the state at from 10000 to
10000.

KEARSEY, Neb., Nov. Especial Tele-

was heavy to-day Sewerage bonds carried
by a majority of 173 Kearney secures
900 for this public Improvement. There
was very little opposition to the court house
bonds here, aud they have carried almost
UNANIMOUSLY in the city and adjoining pre-
cincts. The vote in the country will be about
evenly divided on the court house bonds. Re-
ports from the country precincts Indicate a
light vote owing TO the beautiful weather,
which kept farmers at work. The state
ticket would indicate a small republican gain
over last year. More scratching on the
county ticket was done than at any other
election held here. John Wilson for sheriff
and II. M. Rankin for county clerk, repub.
licans, are out of danger. Thomas Ii. Cor
nell (rep) for county judge is leading. The

Chicago Casts a Light and Principally
DemOcratic Vote.


CHICAGO, Nov. Especial Telegram to
The BEE. Tho most conspicuous feature of
to.days election here was the extremely
light vote cast all over the city and county
up to the hour of closing the polls.
1t was noticed that hardly so per cent of
the number of ballots cast at the presiden-
tal election had been thrown. There seemed
to be very little interest taken in the result
as the officers to De elected are all county
officials. The polls closed at o'clock and
at this hour pa M, sthe Journal (rep)
takes a dismal view of the situation and
practically comedies democratic victory.
The hottest fight is between Stephens (rep)
and Crawford (dem) for the recordershp.
Upon this point the Journal says:
'Mr. Stephens has driven all over the city
to-day and told gentleman that though he
had fought hard fight he did not feel alto
gether confident of victory. 1t is conceded
at headquarters that Crawford has made
big inroads in the ranks of organized labor
and that in consequence he has run away
from his ticketn
The election held in Cook county to-day
was for two judges q recorder of deeds and
a board of county commissioners. Tonight
the indications are, at 1890 p. m., that the
democrats have scored a sweeping victory.
1t is conceded they have captured the board
OF county commissioners, which will now
stand ten democrats to five republicans. The
recordersnip is neck and neck race be-
tween Stephens (rep) and Crawford dem,
with the chances in favor of the latter.
AT IL p. IN. the recordership is not yet set
tied, and the full returns will probably be
necessary to determine it. The best esti-
mates, however, give Crawford the election
by 800 plurality.
No opposition to the Chicago drainage
project was developed

one republican and one democrat, were un-

at this hour the election Of Stephens (rep) is
generally conceded.
