THE CENTRAL STATES.
Illinois Apparently Goes for Cleveland
and Causes the Greatest Sur
prise in the Campaign.

ILLINOIS. - The latest returns do
not abate in any way the decisive Demo
cratic victory in the state of Illinois ON ma
tional and state tickets. Conservative men
of all parties now generally agree that the
national and state tickets have a Demo
cratic majority estimated at 10000 to 25 600
Democrats have majority in the senate of
and in the house of representatives of H.
returns from nearly all the congress
slonal districts in the state are complete
and indicate that the Democrats have
elected congressman in the First, Second
Third, Fourth, Eighth, Twelfth, Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth, Seven
teenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth dis
trcts and two congressman at large; Re-
publicans in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twentieth dis
tricts. The vote in the First district is
very close, and it will require the official
count to determine the result definitely.
1t is now definitely known that Joseph
G. Cannon (Rep.) has been elected to con-
gress from the Fifteenth district, hereto
fore classed as doubtful
1NDIANA.-The vote was probably the
largest ever polled in the state. AS the
Australian ballot law has doubled the
number of precincts it would be i'm
practicable to compare the vote of this
year with that of the presidential vote of
four years ago. In 1890 the Democrats car
ried the state by plurality of 1855. On
this basis the Republicans would h3ve to
gain an average of seven votes in each pre-
cinct
The returns from all over the state
continue to come in slowly, especially from
southern Indiana. Seventy-three counties
have reported, and Cleveland and the
Democratic state ticket have in those coun-
ties about 1900 plurality. The other nine
counties are expected to give net Demo-
cratic gain of 1000 The legislature will
be Democratic by big majority on joint
ballot. The Democrats elect eleven con-
| gressmen and the Republicans two.
| MICHIGAN.-Tle Republican voters
have carried out of IA electoral districts
! The legislature will probably be composed
as follows: Senate-Republicans IS; Demo
Gratis and Populists, IA. House-Repub-
| licans, AS; Democrats and Populists, So.
According to the returns now in, which
are somewhat meager, it appears that the
following congressman are successful

IOWA.-All the election returns so
far received indicate Republican plural
ity of %, 900 in Iowa on electors. The state
ticket runs "A little behind. The Republic
ans elect congressman in ten of the eleven
districts. Walter |, Hayes, of the Second
district, is the only Democrat elected The
Peoples party vote will reach $4,000 and
the Prohibition vote 5000.
W1SCOYSIN.-The great victory of
the Democracy in Wisconsin is complete
Ed G. Wall claims the state of Wisconsin
by 1900 majority for the Democrats. Com
plete reports from all over the state give
the Democrats 12 state senators, which, to-
gether with 15 hold over senator's gives
them 27 out of the 33 votes in the senate,
with the chance of raising this number to
30. SiXty-siX Democrats have been so far
elected to the assembly, and great num-
Der of Democratic strongholds have not yet
been heard from. This assures the election
of a Democratic United States senator to
succeed Senator Philetus Sawyer.
MINNESOTA.-Min has chosen
all of the nine Harrison electors-five by
5000 and four by S,0O0 The fusion elect
ors actually ran behind the Democratic
electors in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Re-
publicans elect six congressman, Demo-
Gratis one. The legislature is still in doubt.
Republicans elect governor and both con-
gressmen in South Dakota Harrison
electors win by 1000. The legislature is
in doubt.
