CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The election In this
| city to-day, though holly contested, passed
| off very quietly. The day, on the whole, was
cool and clear. The chief interest centered
in the contest for the Shrievalty between
| Congressman Lawler 3D. and James II.
Gilbert (R.). Another element of interest
| was the contest for County Superintendent
of Schools, Mrs. General Mulligan being the
| Democratic nominee. 1.-The little red
| school-house" was the issue. Mrs. Mulligan
is a Catholic, and her opponent. Albert B.
| Lane, Protestant. and the public school
| question was used for the purpose of turning
Democratic votes from Mrs Mulligan.
A very large vote was cast and it is stated
| that 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 compulsory school ques-
| ton and uncertain 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
| the nominees of the two leading parties,
| with some Prohlbitionists where the Repub-
licans and Democrats had both nominated
| alien-born citizens.
| The contest in the four Congressional
| districts In this city was largely a personal
| one, and the tariff was in a great measure
| lost sight of.
The Illinois returns will be compared with
| the Presidential vote of 1888, when Har-
| rls0n's plurality was 22,000
| 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 Nor
rison's) district Lindley Or. and Farmers
Alliance) will be elected over Forinan d.
| the incumbent.
OF the twenty Congressional districts in
Illinois the indications at II o'clock are that
Congressman Adams, Hopkins, Hitt, Hen
dersoD, HUI and Payson (R.) are unques-
| tionably reelected, as is also probably
Rowell R.l. There is not a great deal of
doubt of the success of Post (R) in the
Tenth District. In the Eleventh Congress
man GestS election has been stubbornly
| contested by Cable ID and the result Is still
in doubt. Wike, Springer Lane and Will
| lams ID are reelected and the indications
point to the reelection OF Smith (R) In the
! Twentieth District and Farman ID in the
I Eighteenth. The Sixteenth District is still
doubtful, but Fithian claims his collection
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 have been reelected.
| The Democrats are claiming the defeat Of
Cannon (R) in the Fifteenth District but
the Republican State Central Committee still
asserts he is reelected by 500 majority.
| McLEANsBoRo QlLl, Nov 4-Congress-
man Williams ID is reelected in the Nine
teenth District by 1000 majority.
| CHICAGO, Nov. 4,-One hundred precincts
| give Gilbert, for Sheriff. 1O,9O5, Lawler,
I2,4S5; HUT R.), for City Treasurer, s211.
Kern 10147; for State Treasurer, eighty
| nine precincts in the city give Amberg (R)
S742, Wilson 3D. 10,17S Link (P.) 264.
SPRINGFIELD (Illl, Nov. A special to
the State Register (Democraticl from Da IN
| VILE says seven precincts of this city, Can
mons home, give Bu,ey 65 majority, Demo-
cratic gain of 125.
CHICAGO, Nov. observation-disclosures on
| the state ticket are coming in very slow.
| Only eight counties in the State. exclusive
| of Cook County, have been heard from.
| These on the vote of the State TREASURER
| give Ambern Or net plurality of $500 over
| Wilson Oh In the same counties two years
ago. when the vote was somewhat heavier,
! Harrison's net plurality over Cleveland was
| $3.50.
Rock ISLAND, Nov. 4.-Cable (D.) has
gained SEQ over Best in this city. Comparing
the result with the last Congressional cleo
| ton the rrturns from the district so far
make 1t appear that Cable Is elected.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5-12 :3O-Returps from
| are So meager that it is impossible to predict
| what the political complexion of the next
| General Assembly will be. In several of the
holly contested districts the indications
point to the election of Democratic can
| didates; but that these gains will continue
to such an extent as to give them control of
the General Assembly on joint ballot does
not yet appear upon the meager returns.
| DANvILLE QlL), Nov. 4-The Republic
cans claim the election of Cannon to Con-
gress by 800 majority. The Democrats
claim the district is still in doubt
| CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The Democratic State
Central COMMITTEES asserts that private ad-
| vices show the Democrats have carried the
| State by a good majority. They expect a
| gain. of three Congressman. There is
nothing definite about Cook County.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4,-The Daily News On
| dependent Republican, claims the returns.
so far as received, indicate that the Repub.
licans have elected their State ticket, but
| does not undertake to estimate the MAJOR
tiles, in view of the meagerness of the re-
turns received up to o'clock. 1t also claims
