The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-11-13


may require the official returns to decide
| the result
At last the returns from the state of Illi-
nois has become sufficiently complete TO
announce decislvely the result on the
state ticket. The Democrats have won and
Edwin S. Wilson, of Olney, is elected state
Treasurer by IL 1856, and Henry Raab of
Belleville, superintendent of public instruc-
| ton by So IA. No compilation has been
made vet on the trusteeship of the Unlver-
sity of Illinois, but the indications
are that three Democratic nominees
have also been elected by slight majority:
The exact vote will not be ascertained until
the returns have been canvassed and sent
to the secretary of state, but the complete
returns leave no doubt that the result is as
herein stated, and that the entire Demo-
cratic state ticket is elected. The returns
which furnished this result are official
from all counties in the state except eight.
These have been carefully stated, as they
have heretofore generally given Democratic
malorties. There can be no doubt that the
vote here as announced is substantially
correct.
Not until today have the Republicans of
Illinois realized the full extent of the ava
lanche which has obliterated the old time
majority in this state. Full returns to-day
show that in addition 10 the Democratic
gains heretofore in the congressional dis
tricts Congressman Payson and Hit had
also been defeated and Snow and Stewart,
Democrats, elected. In response TO a request
for information Congressman Hill and
Payson have telegraphed the Associated
Press, conceding their defeat, the former
by $50, and the latter 500 to 700. This
makes the congressional delegation from
Illinois stand fourteen Democrats and six
Republicans. The great delay in arriving
at an authentic conclusion in this state has
been due to the uncertainty of the result III
Cooke county.
Never in the history of the state have the
respective tickets everywhere been so
scratched, and in Cooke county the result
on state officers was not even approxima-
ted until late hour last night, over forty
eight hours after election. All estimates
on which previous reports were based were
valueless, in view of the political tidal
wave which swept over the state and which
is unprecedented in the history of Illinois.
TENNESSEE.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 7.-Returns from
all the counties in the First congressional
district gives Taylor (Rep.), present incum-
bent 800 majority over Butler, also Repub-

to congress by less than 500 majority. This
is loss to the Republicans of 80O votes as the
district has heretofore given one of the
largest Republican majorities of any dis
trict in the United States. The Democrats
gained slightly in the Legislature from East
Tennessee.
