CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The late returns do
not abate in any way from the decisive
Democratic victory in the State Of Illinois
both Oh national and State tickets. Con-
servative men of all parties now generally
agree that the Democratic plurality in the
State will be approximately 10000. The
Democrats will have at least thirteen Of
the twenty-five ongressmen. with prob
ability of one or two more in the districts
still doubtful
Incomplete Official returns from thirty
ont of thirty-four wards in the city of Chi
cago give Cleveland 1904; Harrison, A.
ESQ. Partial returns from the country
towns indicate that the vote in Cook coun-
ty, outside of the city of Chicago, will he
almost a stand off, so that Cleveland's plu-
rality in Chicago and Cook county may be
approximated at $4,000

rality for Harrison OF 1850. This would
make CleyelaDd's net plurality in the
whole State approximately 10000. The Of
fcial returns arc not likely to show any
marked variations from these tigures.
The vote on Altgeld, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, will show Some increase
over these figures. while the remainder of
the Democratic State ticket will receive
the same vote as the Cleveland and Ste
venson electors. The Democrats have also
elected their entire county ticket In Cook
county.
In the State Senate tho Democrats will
have about seven majority, and the indi-
cations are they will control tho lower
house by about the same majority, al
though returns of several doubtful DIS
tricts are still somewhat indefinite. No
Senator is TO be elected by the next Gem
eral Assembly bur the important ed-
vantage of redlstricting the State for con-
gressional. legislative and judicial pur-
poses will fall 20 the Democrats.
The Democratic victory is apparently
due to two canses-the perfect organiza-
tion of the State by Chairman Cable and
his colleagues of the Democratic national
campaign. and the general detection of the
German Lutheran voters IN the Republic
an party. 1t was fully expected that the
Germans would support Altgeld, the Ger
the Democratic ticket. but the result shows
that they have to o great extent supported
not only AltReld but Cleveland and Ste-
yenson and the entire Democratic ticket.
lc candidates is probably due TO the recent
action of the Lutheran leaders IN recon-
mending that the German LutheraDs sup
port the entire Democratic ticket, ID the
END thas Democratic control OF the Legis-
lature might be secured and the repeal of
the compulsory school law thereby assured.
The county returns show that the tariff
question is still a live issue with the farm
ers. and that the Democrats have gained
about the same advantage IN the agric ult-
ural districts over tho agitation of this Is
sue that they realized two yesrs ago.

Governor outside of Cook county. and ai-
though the majority of the Republicans
coucede his defeat. others stili hold on to
the hopo of his success. The Inter Ocean
at Q O'Clock announced that fourteen conn

majority. At this rate the Inter Ocean be-

no great confidence is felt IN sneh o result.
