crisp and clear in this city, with a long line
OF voters waiting in many precints for the
polls 10 open. Ia one voting place over 100
votes were cast by Z O'Clock out of a total
registration of 490. There was very little
difficulty in voting the big blanket ballot,
though IL was the first experience with the
Australian system.
An unusually heavy vote had been cast all
over the city before noon. In the German
Lutheran wards the Indications were that
the demooratic state ticket was receiving
about two-thiFds Of the German vote, but
the democratic electoral ticket was running
behind the state ticket.
The estimated plurality Of Cleveland ia
Cook county is $4,000. He is running
ahead of his ticket. Harrison carried Cook
county by 800 four years ago.
Seventy-one towns in Illinois outside Of
Cook county give Harrison 1871, Cleve-
land OATS. The same towns In 1883 gave
Harrison IL, 100 and Cleveland 10, 0,22O; Glove
lands net gain 81. Three hundred and
twenty-three precincts in the oity give
Harrison 43, 472, Cleveland "a, 500.

committee says: Cleveland has carried
Illinois by Is 900 and Altgeld, the demo-
cratic candidate for governor, is elected"

Of this city give Harrison 70,823 and Cleve-
land 86,348. The probabilities are that

Chicago will give the democratic ticket
30, 600 majority, and the balance Of Cook
county will reduce this to $4,000. At the
republican headquarters they do not claim
over 10000 TO 1900 for Fifer outside of
Cook county.

Illinois by 10000 plurality and Altgeld,
dem, for governor, has II by $4,000"

the state to the democrats, but IL will be
very close as to President and governor.
