ties in Illinois on State Treasurer.
nine-tenths of which are Official and the

which no returns have been received
will not affect the gerc- al result ma
terially.

counties on Superintendent OF Public
Instruction indicate tn, election of
Raab. Den., over Edwards. Rep, by a
plurality of 35, AS.

1858 was $4,000.

hand it appears that tne Illinois Legis-
lature is likely to be ''tie-up," to
rival the session of 1851. Official and
otherwise reliable returns show that
the Senate is composed OF % Repub-
licans and "a Democrats; the House of
"a Republicans, 76 Democrats and 3
Farmers Mutual Der eft Association
representatives. 1t is not at all prob
able that these figures will be changed.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov. 7.-Oficial, un-
| official, but complete and estimated re-
turns from all but seven counties of the
| State give Merriam, Rep, 73, 62S, Will
son, Dem, rs. S4s Plurality for Wilson,
2,72o The remaining counties are ex-
pected to cut this plurality down and the
Republican committee is claiming Mer-
RAMS election by over 1000, while the
Democratic committee claims 600 for
Wilson. 1t looks now as if the next
Congressional delegation from this
State will be three Democrats and two
Alliance. The State Senate stands:
Republicans 81; Democrats and Alli-
ance, "a. House-Republicans SO; Dem
ocrats and Alliance, 81. There is no
Senator to be chosen this winter, but
all the State Senators hold over to as
sist in choosing the successor to Cush-
man X. Davis in 1898.
