ILLINOIS.

SPRINGFlELn, ILLS, NOV. o.-llllnols
to-day voted on governor and ful!
state ticket, two congressman at large
and twenty congressman by districts, a
Legislature and twenty-four presidential
electors. The Republican candidate for
governor is Governor Joseph w. FIfer,
the present incumbent, and the Demo-
cratic candidate is John P. Altgeld, the
Prohibition and Peoples parties not
figuring significantly in the contest.
AS the returns come in 1t is conclu-
siyely demonstrated that Illinois to-day
casts the heaviest vote in the history OF
the state. Apathy prevailed in every
precinct throughout the state during
the campaign, but this apathy gave way
to m unprecedented activity to-day.
and all parties appear to have polled
practically their entire vote. The sur
prise Of tho day in this city is the little
disparity between the Cleveland and
Altgelt vote. 1t was expected that
AltgeIt, the German Democratic candi-
date for governor, would lead the presi-
dental ticket by many thousand, but
returns as far as received do not indi-
cate this result. The drift OF sentiment
at this hour, p. M, is that Harrison
and Reid have carried the state, and
that the Republican state ticket is
elected by a decreased plurality.
Seventy-one towns in Illinois, outside
OF Cook county, give Harrison 1921;
Cleveland 10,4lS.
Same towns in 1888 gave Harrison
100; Cleveland 1920. CleVeland's
net gain 81.
Three hundred and sixty-two out
OF e03 precincts in the city give Har-
rison IS, ,472; Cleveland G4,592.
Four hundred and eighty-eight out OF
693 precincts in Chicago give Harrison
64, ,2S3; Cleveland 1914
One hundred and thirty.nine pre-
cincts in the city of Chicago gave Fiter
l7,774, Altgeld 25,S05.
Two hundred aud ninety-two pre-
cincts in the city oil Chicago give Har-
rison "a, ,54S, Cleveland 50,54
Thirty-eight townships in Illinois
outside Of Cook county give Harrison
6,6l6, Cleveland 5,l00. In 1855 the
townships gave Harrison 6,46O, Cleve-
land 3,l62. Harrison's net gain 2l5.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.--l4S precincts in
Chicago give Harrison lS,625; Cieve-
land 2S,O9O. There are 7B5 voting pre-
cincts IN Chicago. Comparisons with
vote OF 1888 will be impossible owing
to the city being entirely redistricted.
81 townships in Illinois outside OF
Cook county give Harrison 1928; Cleve-
land ., ,952. In 1888 tho same townships
gave Harrison $3.50; Cleveland S,0S6, q
Democratic gain of 207.
24S precincts in the city ot Chicago
give Harrison 2s,sSs; Cleveland 1881.
$3.50 p. m.-Chicago Daily NelrS extra
claims Illinois for Cleveland by over
10000. Says S75 out of 693 precincts in
Chicago give Cleveland majority Of
23,9s6.
Midnight. The probability is that
Cleveland has carried Illinois and that
Altgeld, the Democratic candidate for
governor, is elected by II, or $4,000 ma
jority. Chicago will give the Demo
cratic ticket $4,000 majority, and the
balance OF Cook county will reduce that
to 5000, AT Republican headquarters
they do not claim over 10000 to $4,000
for Fifer outside of Cook county.
Later returns indicate a material re-
duction in tho first estimates OF Demo-
cratic majorities in the county. Al IL
o'clock the Chicago Tribune and Chicago
Inter -0csOn refuse 10 concede the state
10 the Democracy.
ILLINOIS psMocRATIc.
1890 A. M.-The indications are that
the state Of Illinois has gone for CIeve-
land and Stevenson by from 5000 to
10000 plurality, and that the entire
state Democratic ticket is elected.
Later returns may change these figures.
as the country districts yet to be heard
from are likely to cut down the Demo-
cratic gain in the country precincts,
Two hundred and twenty precincts in
tho state outside OF Chicago give Har-
rison 4l,959; Cleveland 36,S3q The
same precincts in 1883 gave Harrison
SIS, 74s and Cleveland Sl,SO5, so that
Cleyeland's net gain is ,52S. The city
Press Association shows that 800 pre-
cincts out OF SOB precincts in Chicago
Cleveland gets 07.344 Harrison 70, 100.
This gives ClevcIand'a lead OF 25,lo4
thus far in Cook county. As Harrisou's
pluralityiin the state outside OF Cook
county in 'SS wa1 but 9l.000, and the
country returns thus fur show a falling
oil l,5o5 in 800 precincts. it would seem
that the result must be very close,
probably not over 5000 for Cleveland.
