ILLINOIS.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The returns are com ing in slowly, owing to the heavy vote boiled, aud no one can give absolutely cor rect estimates on the result of the election in this state, but everything points to a complete victory for the republican forces, largely increased vote for the populists, with little hope for the democrats any where. It is now reasonably certain that the republican state ticket will be elected by a big majority; that the republicans have elected 8 majority of the Cook county commissioners, and that they will have a majority in the state assembly. They have also elected a number of congressman, if not most all of them. Even the democrats concede that.
 The republicans, with few exceptions, say they have won signal victories every where by increased majorities. Wulff, republican candidate for treasurer, it is claimed, will win by at least 20, 900 major ity. The populist polled a vote in Cook of 25, ,O00, and it is to this that many demo. crats are inclined to attribute their defeat. It is certain that nearly all this vote was taken from the democratic party. At 11:15 D. m. the democrats conceded in Illinois with the exception of the fol- lowing: Lee McGann, Chicago; J. J. Hannahan, Chicago; James R. Williams, George Fithian, Edward Lane, George B. Barnes and F. P. Downing. Of these they are by no means sure of McCiann and Han nahan. This would leave the democrats but seven congressman ont of the twenty two which the state returns.
 The democratic state central committee gave up all hope of electing any of the county ticket at late hour and comedies it as well as the state ticket to the republi- cans. CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-One hundred and thirty precincts give Claggett IA STA, Wulff 16 1882, Randolph 3612. The indications point to a populist vote in the city of over 25 1000.
 CHICAGO, Nov. Civilian Lorin,er, republican candidate for congress from the second district, was thrown head over heels from the voting place in the Lamont town hall this afternoon. Twenty-Five deputy sheriffs sent from Chicago to that town ship to preserve order were thrust into jail at Lamont. Justice of the Peace Winner refused to release them on bail. This pro- ceeding was what precipitated the conflict that resulted insthe chief of police of La mont taking Lorimer into his arms and carrying him into the street. The vote for state treasurer in forty pre- cincts give Cla ygett, democrat, 4782; Wulff, republican,, 4727; Randolph, peo- ples' 1254. There are 2O34 precincts in the state.
