CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-lllinois returns will
be compared with the presidential vote OF
1855. when Harrison's plurality was 22,0OO.
Chairman Jones Of the republican state
central committee claims all OF the repub-
lican congressman in the state have been
reelected, and that in the Eighteenth
(Morrison's) district Lindley, republican
and Farmers alliance. will be elected
over Porman, the present democratic in
cumbent
The first result Of the election TO be
known for a certainty was the success OF
proposition 10 increase the backing OF
the worlds fair 10 sl0,b0o,00. The vote
OF the city was practically unanimous in
favor OF adding fund 10 the already
guaranteed $4,000 by the issue OF city
bonds, and by means Of South Park
bonds, $4,000 more. Director General
Davis said tonight that the work Of the
fair would now 90 forward with
q rush. Plans for buildings are already
comparatively complete, and q definite
location Of each will be settled without
further delay. Il only remained for the
president Of the United States TO issue a
formal proclamation 10 the nations Of the
world, and this probably will shortly fol-
low meeting Of the national commission
10 be held here in short time.
DANvILLK. ILL.,, Nov. t.-The republi.
cans claim the election Of Cannon TO con-
gress by 500 majority. The democrats
claim II is still In doubt.
CHICAGO, Nov. i.-The election In this
city to-day, though hotly contested, passed
over very quietly. The day. on the whole.
was cool and clear. The chief interest
centered In the contest between Con-
gresham Lawler, democrat, and James
II. Gilbert, republican. Another element
OF interest was the contest for county
superintendent Of schools, Mrs. General
Mulligan being the democratic nominee.
"The little red school house, was the
issue. Mrs. Mulligan Is a Catholic and
her opponent, Albert L. Lane. u protest.
ant, and the public school question was
used for the purpose Of turning demo
cratic votes from Mrs. Mulligan.
A very large vote was cast, and ID Is
stated In no election for years have SO
many members OF the richer classes and
prominent business men voted as to-day.
The state ticket was fatally scratched
here, owing TO the agitation on the COM
pulsory school question and the uncer-
tain strength of the ticket Of the citizens
or Patriotic Sons Of America. The ticket
contained only the names Of native born
Americans, being made up Of nominees
OF the two leading parties with some pro-
hibitionists where the republicans aud
democrats had both nominated alien born
citizens. The contest in the four con-
gressional districts in the city was largely
personal one and tho tariff was
In measure lost sight Of.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Of the % congress
sional districts in Illinois the indications
at II o'clock are that Congressmen
Adams, Hopkins. Hit, Henderson,
Hill and Payson, republicans, are un-
questionably reelected, as is also
probably Powell, republican. There is
not a great deal OF doubt OF the success
OF Post, republican, in the Tenth district.
In the Eleventh Congressman Gest's elec-
ton has been stubbornly contested by
Cable. democrat, and the result is still in
doubt. Wike, Springer, Lane and vii.
liams, democrats, are reelected and
Indications point 10 the reelection Of
Smith, republican, in the Twentieth dis
trict, aud forman, democrat, in the
Eighteenth district In the Sixteenth dis
trict il Is still doubtful. but Fithian claims
reelection. In Chicago the democrats
still deny the election OF Taylor in the
First and Of Mason in the Third district,
but Il seems probable now that both of
them are reelected.
The democrats are claiming the defeat
OF Cannon, republican, in the Fifteenth
district, but the Republican Stats Central
committee still assert he is reelected by
500 majority.
One hundred precincts gives Gilbert for
sheriff 10, ,906. Lawler l2,435; Hull, repub-
lican, for city treasurer, s.2il; Kern, To-
1i7. For state treasurer - precincts in
the city gave Amberg, republican. s.i72;
Wilson. democrat, l0l7s; Link, prohibi-
ton. 2Gt.
CHICAGO, Nov. AT midnight returns
