VIII Be Very Close.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-12:30 A. M-The indi-
| cations are that the State of Illinois has
| gone for Cleveland and Stevenson by from
| 5000 to 10,0t0 plurality. and that the entire
| State Democratic ticket is elected.
Later returns may change these fig.
ures as the country districts which have
TO be heard from are likoly to cut down
the Democratic gain in the country pre-
cincts. Chicago and Cook county will
| give Cleveland and Stevenson and Alt
geld. the Democratic candidate for Govern
! or. not less than Is, coo plurality which will
| probably more than offset the Repu blican
majority In the country precincts. as tho
country thus far has shown the Harrison
| vote TO be less than In 1853. wheu Harrison
! had n plurality OF % O0O IN the whole State.
| Two hundred and twenty precincts in the
state, outside OF Chicago. gave Harrison
| 1889; Cleveland. S5.S99. The same pre-
| cincts In 1888 gave Harrison 3s.5ss
and Cleveland 81, sos. so that CleveIand's 3
net gain Is l.523. The city Press Associa-
! rion shows that in five hundred precincts
/ out OF d.S precincts Cleveland, IN Chicago.
gets s7.s4i; Harrison. 92.l90. This gives
! Cleveland o lead of %. l54 thus far in Cook
| county. AS Harrson's plurality in the tate
outside of Cook county in 1883 was
but 81 coo. and the county returns thus far
show falling oil of 1.533 in go precincts
| it would seem that the result must be very
/ close, probably not over 5000 for Cleye-
land. The Democrats have probably elect
| ed both Congressman at large and have
carried not less than ten of the twenty
! congressional districts In the State.
