ILLINOIS.

o.
nois were still incomplete this morning,
but all the indications pointed to the car
rying of the state by Cleveland and Stew
enson by plurality OF from 5000 TO 10000.
The entire Democratic state ticket is also
elected and the Democrats have majority
of the congressional delegation, and have
apparently gained control Of both branch
es of the state legislature. In view of the
fact that the state is to be redistricted the
coming winter, the election of the governor
and both branches of the legislature by
the Democrats is of the utmost Importance
to that party, and will enable them to so
gerrymander the state as to gain perma-
nenJ advantage in the congressional, legls-
lativs and judicial districts. The Republl-
cans, while generally conceding the state
to Cleveland and the election of the Demo-
cratic state ticket. still insisted that there
was possibility of Republican supremacy
in the lower house of the general assembly.
The Democratic victory in Illinois Is ap-
parently due to two causes-the perfect or
gsniZation of the state by Chairman
Gable and his colleagues of the Democratic
national committee, and the general defec-
tion of the German Lutheran vote OF the
Republican party. They supported the
entire Democratic ticket, to the end that
might be secured and the repeal of the
compulsory school law be thereby assured.
The county returns show that the tariff
question is still live issue with the farm
ers, aud that the Democrats have gained
about the same advantage in the agrlcul-
tural districts over the agitation of the
issue that they realized two years since.
he Democrats have elected thirteen
congressman and the Republicans four,
the result in three districts being in doubt.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9-Later returns do not
abate in any way the decisive-Democratic
victory in the state of Illinois, both OH
the national and state tickets. Couserva-
tive men of all parties now generally
agree that the Democratic plurality, in
the state will approximate 10000 and
that the Democrats have at least thirteen
of the twenty-five congressman, with pos
sibly one or Two more OF the districts still
in doubt

give Fifer 4 900 majority. At this rate the
Inter Ocean believes that he may carry
the state.
