CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 5.-Never in the his
tory of Illinois have the election returns
throughout the state been so complicated
by scratching or local issues. Even in
Cook County the count had not been COM
pleted at $50 this morning. The returns
throughout the state are very meagre, and
although the local newspapers, the A $50.
ciated Press and the telegraph con. pany
nave made great effort to obtain accu-
rate results, as yet nothing but approx
mate results can be had.
At the headquarters of the Republican
State Central Committee the Legislature is
claimed by from g to 10 on Joint ballOf.
In the Fourth Illinois District Newber-
ry Dem. is elected to Congress over Con-
gresham Adams by plurality of 937.
Congressman Taylor rep. is reelected
in the First Illinois District by plurality
OF 9l9 over Ewing DEM.
The Chicago City Press Association,
which is making careful compilation Of
election returns in Cook County, estimates

800 by Gilbert (tep.) for sheriff; that Kern
(Dem.) for county treasurer, is elected
over HUT (Rep.) that Amherg rep. J, for

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 5.-Gov. Merri-
ANS $4,000 plurality of two years ago has
been reduced SO greatly that there was ap-
parent reason for the Democratic claim
that he was defeated. Such, however,
does not prove to be the case, for he
is reelected. but by a greatly reduced
party associates, early this morning,
ranged from 1900 to 5000, and more
made the former claim than the
latter. One, and possibly two officials
chosen from the state tickets are Demo-
Gratis. The Legislature, SO far as any re-
ports have been heard from it. seems close,
the Republicans claiming the majority, but
admitting the possibility that O combina-
ton of the Alliance and Democratic
strength might control legislation in the
next Legislature. On congressman the

BILE. John Lind is undoubtedly
returned from the Second District, having
defeated Gen. j. IL. Baker, the Alliance
Democratic candidate, by few thousand.
5. q. COmStOck is also surely reelected in
the Fifth, his success having been con-
firmed by the inability of the Alliance and
Democracy to unite upon a candidate.
Mark III. Dunnell, in the First, and 5. p.
Snider, in the Fourth, had closer call.

S. Hall is defeated in the Third by o. M.
Hall, who fought his reelection on the
tariff. More definite figures will be re-
ceivcd to-day, but these are the results.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 5.-The esti-
mated pluralitles from sixty-fve of the six
ty-seven counties in the state give Pattison
(Dem.) for governor net plurality of
1892. The two missing counties-Elk and
Warren-in 1886 gave net Republican
plurality of $685. The election of Pattison
by over 5000 plurality is conceded by all
Republican leaders and journals. The
Democrats have certainly gained two
congressman, and the figures are SO close in
three other districts that the official COM
putatiOn may show at least one additional
Democratic member in the delegation,
and possibly a Democratic gain of four or
five. The present delegation in Congress
stands twenty-one Republicans and seven
Democrats. The Legislature remains
Republican, although the joint
ballot majority of 1922 which that party
has ia the present Legislature, will be
somewhat reduced.
Watres. the Republican candidate for
acknowledgement, and Stewart (Rep.),
for secretary OF internal affairs, are elect
ed, Notwithstanding the defeat Df the head
of the ticket.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 5.-Complete
