Senator E'arwcll did not hesitate to attribute
the republican defeat in Illinois TO three
causes-thc Mckinley bill, the farmers alli'
ance, and the com pusOry education law.
1.-The democratic orators mercil cssly attac kcd
the Mckinley Dill' he said, land were able
to irighten the voters BY the pictures of the
disastrous results which they predicted would
follow. The bill is mertorious measure, and
all IL needs to prove that IL is beneficial to the
best interests Of the country is trial l am
quite sure that had the election been post.
poncd SIX mon tbs, until the people could
have an opportunity to test the measure, the
result would have been far different | an
content to wait, feeling fully assured that
its trial during the next two years will vim
diCate the merit its trainers and advocates
have claimed for it, The fact that some re-
publican senators opposed it was used with
damaging effect by the democrats in this
campaign The farmers alliance is a new
element which drew considerably from the
republican siren 9Th. Just with what party
the successful alliance can ndidates will
identify themselves in the next lcgislatureit it
is diff cult at this time to say but presumably
those who were formerly republicans in
their politics will vote with that party
on questions not relating to alliance
matters, and those who were democrats will
! continue to adhere to their party. 1t is not
| likely they will form separate party IN the
| legislature. The school question was an i'm
portaut fac tor in losing the republican party
many votes. The contest in Wisconsin had
some effect in our state ] think the losses to
! the party were as extensive in the state out
side of Chicago as in the city on account Of
| the question. 1t is a patent fact that the
democratic attitude on this question was eX-
ceedn gly non-prOgressivc and anita merican.

DUBLIN, Nov. 6.-In conversation with
Balfour, Mr.. McNeal, national member of
parliament, told the chief secretary that all
efforts in regard to Ireland would prove
fruitless unless coercion were abolished.
Balfour replied that the enthusiastic recep-
ton he everywhere had been recorded fully
justified his Irish policy
While Bafour was addressing deputatiOn
today, McNeal began to address the people
on the terrible barbarities of Balfour's rule.
Balfour expressed surprise at the infusion of
such matters on this occasion. He appealed
to all to say whether the government projects
were not calculated to benefit Ireland more
than all speeches made. In a letter, pub
lished this evening McNeal challenges Bal
four to dilate on the use of the battering-
ram in accomplishing evictions in his utter
ances before Donegal audiences as he
boaSted, in parliament he would do.

Charged with Attempting to Count

CHICAGO, Nov G.-[Spccial Telegram to
THE BEE. The Evening News, an lnde-
depen dent democratic paper says;
"a conspiracy to count out James II, Gil
bert, republican sherifelect has been dis
covered EARLY this morning a letter dis
closing to the republican managers an out
line of the plot was received from one of the
leading attorneys in the city This was fol-
lowed by information secured by republican
politicians who had been on watch The
Lawler men are desperate and swear to put
in their faVorite at any cost. caucus of
democrats, including three aldermen whose
names for the present must be suppressed
was held last night and the line of action
was mapped out The Withholding of the
returns is a part of the plan. The intention
is to doctor the returns If necessary in order
that Lawler may be declared the winner
The plottcrs have two objects in view. First
the election of Lawler for political purposes,
and secondly the election of the democratic
candidate for the benefit of the gamblers.
The suspicious OF the republicans were
first aroused by the ballotboX fight, the de-
tails of which were exclusively printed in the
columns of last nights Evening News
Then 1T was that party put their men on watch
and today's developments are the result of
that precauticn. Every point where fraud
could possibly be committed is carefully
guarded and the republicans are on the out
look along the line, The republican leaders
have in their possession evidence to show
that the illegal tabulation of the returns was
made from the poll books yesterday. One of
the candidates now has the tablet on which
the count was kept. This evidence was OBJ
tanned through friend of the party
ION the inside There are also Sev-
eral witnesses to the proceeding in
the election commissioners Office and tb ey,
unknown to the operators, saw the trans fer
of the poll books from the ballot boxes to the
vault.
Later returns show that the republicans
have been generally victorious in Cook county.
The returns on county commissioners have
been received fromall but fifty scattering pre-
cinCts in the city. They indicate the election
of eleven repu bllcan and four democratic
members. L. +. Harvey, repu blcan candi-
date forpresdcntO of the board, has plurality
of 1850, and is seventh on the list of the ten
leading candidates uOdefoat him the demo-
Gratis will have to elect four more members.
This it is hardly probable can be done with
the returns from the missing precincts"

CHICAGO, Nov 6.-ISpecial Telegram TO
TuE BEE. The result IN the Illinois legisla-
ture will bo very close. Both sides claim a
majority ON joint ballot. The latest indica-
tions are that the republicans have twenty
seven senators and seveuty-fve members of
the house, The democrats have elected
wenty-four senators and seventy-six MEM
bers of the house. Tho Farmers Mutual
BENEFIT association has elected members of
the house in the Forty-third and Forty fourth

changes, but at present 1t looks as though
the farmers candidates would hold the bal

ment that the state has gone democratic.
