Chicago, Nov. 6.-With weather
bright and cold, the vote in Chicago
and Cook county today is heavy. The
campaign throughout the state, and
particularly here, was hot from start to
finish, and interest in the congressional
contests conferred largely in the pictur-
esuue struggle in the Fourth district,
where the aspirants were ex-Con-
gressan Frank Lawler, as an Independ-
emit candidate, Timothy Ryan (Dem),
and ex-Justice Of the Peace Charles
Woodman, (Rep.). An interesting lea
ture was developed by the fact that
after a hard fought legal battle the
women were given the privilege OF
voting for state university trustees. A
large vote is cast by the fair sex.
Fifteen minutes before the polling
booth of the Ninth precinct CTwenty-
third ward) opened, the body of a Re
publican challenger, Michael Kennedy,
was found unconscious on the sidewalk
having, 1T is claimed, been attacked by
a gang Of hoodlums.
William Lorimer, Republican cand1-
date for Congress in the Second dis
trict, was thrown head over heels from
the polling place in Lemont town hall,
this afternoon. twenty-five deputy
sheriffs sent from Chicago to preserve
order were thrust into Jail. Justice OF

them on bail. These proceedings pre-
cipitated a conflict that resulted in the
chief of police taking Lorimer in his
arms and carrying him into the street.
One precinct in the city was conced-
ed to the Peoples party at 8 a. m. 1t
comprises the main part of Pullman.
Everywhere in the district comprising
Pullman, Kensington and Roseland,
the Populist strength was great.

the drainage canal. Through a cleri-
cal error an insufficient number of bal
lots were sent to the place and the
canal laborers announce that they in
tend to vote whether they had ballots
or not. Sixty deputy sheriffs were ilur-
ried to the place.
1t is believed the Populist vote in the
city would not exceed $4,000. The vote
in the stock yards and railroad quar-
tiers was large, but outside the Populist
strongholds, the vote was Thought to
be far short of the party leaders
claims. At Populist headquarters it
was claimed the vote would reach 1OO,-
600.
At LAO tonight, the Tribune says that
the Republicans will come up to COOK
county with q majority of $4,000 to ~,
600. The Tribune's list OF legislative We
members, outside of Cook printed last
Saturday, so far have been verified in
every case, and it appears that in the
state sixty Republican members Of the
legislature have been chosen.
Unless returns in Cook county are
changed, the Republicans have carried
it on state and county tickets and have
made such legislative gains that it is
seems safe to claim that body for the
Republicans by a good working major
fty It also looks as if Cook had elect
ed five out of seven Republican con-
gressmen.
Chicago, Nov. 6.-At 1890 p. m. John
P. Tanner, chairman of the Republican
central committee said:
Zone hundred and twenty-five pre-
cincts outside of Cook county show a
Republican gain Of forty to the pre-
cinct. This may not hold good in the
agricultural townships, but enough has
been received to justify the claim of
rs, 900 majority or a plurality. We have
sixteen Republican congressman and
both brancres of the general assembly.
Cook county has gone at least Is, 600
plurality for the Republicans"
Chicago, Nov. Cat 1870 p. m. the
Record says: Cook county seems to
have gone Republican by $1,000.
