ILLINOIS.
Among Other Things the Democrats Gain
Several congressman.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The election in this
city today, though hotly contested,
passed over very quietly. The day on
the whole was cool and clear. The
chief interest centered in the contest
for the shrievalty between Congress
man Lawler (Dem.) and James Fl.
Gilbert (Rep.). Another element of in
terest was the contest for county superin-
tendent of schools, Mrs. Gen. Mulligan
being the Democratic nominee. 'The
little red school house" was the issue.
Mrs. Mulligan is Catholic and her OPP
ponent, Albert G.. 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 in no elec-
ton Tor years have so many members
OF the richer classes and prominent bus
mess men voted as today.
CHICAGO. Nov. 4.-Illinois returns
will be compared with the presidential
vote of 1888, when Harrison's plurality
was ~ 1000. Chairman Jones OF the Re-
publican state central committee claims
that all OF the Republican congressman
in the state have been reelected, and
that in the Eighteenth (Morrison's) dis
trict, Lindley, R., and the Farmers al
lance will be elected over Forman, D.,
the present incumbent
OF twenty congressional districts in
Illinois the indications at IL O'Clock are
that Congressman Adams, Hopkins,
Hit, Henderson, Hill and Payson, Rs,
are unquestionably reelected, as is also
probably Rowell, r. There is not a
great deal of doubt of the success of
Post, r., in the Tenth district, and in
the Eleventh Congressman Gest's elec-
tion has been stubbornly contested by
Gable, D., and the result is still in
doubt. Wike, Springer, Lane and
Williams, D., are reelected, and indica-
tions point to the reelection of Smith,
r., in the Twentieth district, and For
man, D., in the Eighteenth. The Six
teenth district is still doubtful, but
Fithian claims reelection. 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 are reelected.
The Democrats are claiming the de-
feat of Cannon, R., in the Fifteenth dis
trict. but the Republican state central
committee still asserts that he is re-
elected by 500 majority.
Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, Nov. all p. m.-
Gable, D., gained 800 over Gest in this
city; comparing the result with the last
congressional election, the returns from
the district so far, make it appear that
Cable is elected.
SPRINGFIELD. H., Nov. A special
to the State Register, D., from Danville
says; Seven precincts in this city, Can
mons home, give Busey IS majority, a
Democratic gain of 1875.
MCLEANsBoRo, ILL.,, Nov. 4.-Congress-
man Williams, d, is reelected in the
Nineteenth district by 1000 majority.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Midnight-Re
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 ptate
treasurer, give Amberg (Rep.) net
plurality of 2S00 over Wilson, Democrat
In the same counties tive years ago when
the vote was somewhat heavier, Harri-
sons net plurality over Cleveland was
$3.50.
:20-Returns from the doubtful SEN
atorial district of the state are SO meagre
that it is impossible to predict
what the complexion of the
next general assembly will be.
In several of the hotly contested dis
tricts indications point to the election
of the Democratic candidates, but that
these gains will continue to such an ex-
tent as to give them control of the gem
eral assembly on Joint ballot does not
yet appear upon the meagre returns.
The Democratic state central commit
tee asserts that private advices show
that the Democrats have carried the
state by good majority. They expect
a gain of three congressman. Nothing
definite is known about Cook county.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The Daily News,
Independent Republican. claims that
the returns, 30 far as received, indicate
that the Republicans have elected their
state ticket, but does not undertake to
estimate the majorities, in view of the
meagerness of the returns received up to
l a. IN. 1t also claims that the Repub-
licans have elected twelve out of the
twenty members of congress, which is
Republican loss of one-Taylor in the
First district.
The Times, Dem, does not claim Hi
nois for the Democrats, either as to
state officers or legislature. The latter,
however, is declared to be very close.
