CHICAGO, November 4lh.-The election in this
City to-day, though hOtly contested passed over
very quietly The Day on the whole was IS cool
contest for the 81 rievalty, between Congress
man Lawler (Dem) and James d. Gilbert
(Rep.)
for County Superintendent of Schools, Mrs
General MulIigan being the Democratic nomi-
nee. 1.-The Little Red School House was the
issue. Mrs Mulligan is Catholic and her op-
ponent, Albert G. Lane, Protestant, and the
public school question was used for the purpose
of turning Democratic votes Tor Mrs Mulligan
very large vote was cast, and it is stated in
no election for years have so many members
of the richer classes and prominent business
men voted as day.
The returns will be compared with the Presi-
den ial vote of 1888, when Harrison's plurality
was % 900. Chairman Jones, of the Republican
State Central Committee. claims all the Republi-
can congressman in the State have been re-
elected, and that in the Eighteenth (Morrison's)
District, Lindley Republican and Farmers Al
lance will be elected over Forman, Dem. J, the
present incumbent.
SPRINGFIELD.-A special to the State Register
(Democratic), from Danville, says that seven
precincts of this city, Cannon's home. give
Busey 60 msjority, Democratic gain Of l25.
CHIcAGo.-One hundred precincts give Gil
bert for Sheriff, 1895; Lawler, 12,a35; HUT
lRep) for City Treasurer S,2ll; Kern, 10, ,147 for
State Treasurer, SO precincts in the City give
Amberg (Rep). S,742; Wilson (Dem.) le,l7S;

CHIcAGo-Of the twenty Congressional Dis
tricts in Illinois, the indications at IL O'Clock
are that congressman Adams, Hopkins, Hit,
Henderson. Hill and Payson (Republicans) are
unquestionsbly re elected, as is also probably
Rowell (Rep9 There is not great deal Of
doubt of the success of Post (Rep.) in the Tenth
District, and in the Eleventh Congressman
Gest's election has been stubbornly contested by
Cable Dem. J, and the result is still in doubt.
Waite, Springer, Lane and Williams tDem) are
reelected, and the indications point to the re-
election of Smith (Rep.) in the Twentieth Dis
trict, and Forman (Dem.) In the Eighteenth.
The Sixteenth District is still doubtful, but
Fiihian claims his reelection. In Chicago the
Democrats still deny the election of Taylor in
the First, and Mason in the Third Districts, but
it seems probable now that both of them are re-
elected. The Democrats are claiming the de-
feat Of Cannon REP IN the Fifteenth district,
still assert that he is reelected by 500 majority.
Rock ISLAND IL p. M.-Cable (Dem) gained
500 over Gest in this city. Comparing the re-
suit with the last Congressional election returns
from the District, 10 far make it appear that
Cable is elected.
CHICAGO, I2:S0.-Returns from the doubtful
Senatorial Districts of the State so meager
that it is impossible to predict what the politi-
cal complexion of the next general Assembly
will be. In several of the hotly- contested dis
tricts the indications point to the election of
the Democratic candidates, but that these gains
will continue 10 such an extent as to give them
control of the general Assembly on joint ballot
does not yet appear upon the meager returns.
McLEANsBoRo.-Congress Williams Dem J
is re elected in the Nineteenth District by 600
majority.
CHICAGO Z. The Democratic State Central Com
mittee asserts that private adviees show that
the Democrats have carried the State by good
majority. They expect gain of three Con,
gressmen. There is nothing definite about Cook
county.
