To THE EDITOR or TEE sux-Sr' Now that
We are on the eve Of new State census. It is
very interesting and not out OF order to take q
look back into the Porter census. and become
acquainted with figures OF those districts
wherein It has been discovt red that great
errors or frauds have been committed and Ill
lowed to become official. without any desire
or attempt on the part OF the Administration
to correct them. although so requested to do.
1t was recently shown. when comparing the
two equally exciting elections OF 1880 and
1888 with each other. how nearly the Increase
OF votes In the States bordering on the En-
pire State. with one exception. correspondent
with the increase OF population as recorded in
the census OF 1890. That one exception was
Pennsylvania. While in all the other States
the population seemed to have grown about
10 per cent. slower than the vote. in Pennsyl-
vania 1t seemed to have grown 3 per cent.
faster and In New York Z per cent. slower
Although Pennsylvania's vote grew only
123.OOO In years. rs against an increase Of
100000 In New York State. the census bulle-
tins indicate gain Of $4,000 people In the
former State In 10 years and only g14OOO in
the latter. Why. with a gain Of votes OF 600
more. should New iork's gain in population be
61.O0O less than nnsylvania's2

ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, Nov. Cit is now definitely
known that Joseph q. Cannon, rep, has
been elected to congress from the IF
teenth district heretofore classed as
doubtful.
The latest returns do not abate In
any way from the decisive democratic
victory In the state of Illinois on ma
tional and state ticket Conservative
men of all parties now generally agree
that the democratic plurality In Illinois
will be apparently 10000.
Returns from nearly all the congress
sional districts In the state are complete
and indicate that the democaats have
elected congressman In the first, second,
third, fourth, eighth, twelfth, thir-
teenth, fourteenth, sixteenth, seven
teenth, eighteenth and nineteenth dis
tricts and two congressmen-atlarge;
republicans in the fifth, sixth, seventh,
ninth, tenth, eleventh, fifteenth and
twentieth districts. The vote in the first
district Is very close and 1t will require
official count to determine the result def
nitely. The national and state tickets
have democratic majority estimated
at 10000 to $4,000. Democrats have
majority In the senate of three and In
the house Of representatives of eleven.
