THE CENTRAL STATES.


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 Demo
cratic majority estimated at 10000 to 5000.
Democrats have a majority in the senate of
3 and in the house of representatives of II.
Returns from nearly all the congress
sional 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
tricts and two congressman at large; Re
pubicans in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh
| Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh. and Twentieth dis
| tricts The vote in the First district is
very close, and it win 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
| INDIANA.-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 inn
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 1850, On
this basis the Republicans would h3ye 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 n 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.-The Republican voter:
