BUCK HENRIcKsEN sToUTLY CON-
 TENDS TO THE CONTRARY.
He Says the Presidential Returns Are
 the State Ticket. No Indication of the Vote on

Chicago, H., Nov. 3.-The indications are, based upon returns from all but 100 precincts of Chicago and from scatter ing returns from outside the city, that Mckinley and Tanner have carried H. linoiS by over 100000. Tanner is running ahead of his ticket, but somewhat behind Mckinley. The returns from $40 of the Chicago precincts give Mckinley 172, 701 1; Bryan 126,737; Palmer 1,490. One hundred and two precincts in Illinois outside of Cook county give Mckinley 23, 4S0; Bryan 16,050; Palmer 156.
 In 1892 the Harrison vote in the same number of precincts was 17,973; Cleveland 15,9S2. Sixty-ive precincts in Illinois out side of Cook county, give Tanner 19,477; Altgeld 12,9S2. The vote in 1892 was: Harrison 14,S27; Cleveland 12,7S7.
 Chairman Hatch, of the republican state central committee said at o'clock: illinois has gone for Mckinley and Tan ner by 12500O. Tanner is running far ahead of his ticket"
 Capt. Tanner, the popular governor elect arrived at the republican headquar- ters at the Great Northern hotel from his home in Louisville, and was immediately congratulated as the next Governor Of Illinois. He said: Mckinley and l have carried the state by considerably over 900 majority"
 National Committeeman Jamieson, of Illinois, who was at headquarters, rece1v-
  vote in Cook county and parts or the state outside made Illinois sure for Mc- Kinley and Tanner, and the whole state ticket by over 900 if the ratio of gains was maintained in the rest of the state. The scattered returns received from out side of Chicago show large republican gains over 1892.
 Chairman Heinrichsen, of the demo- cratic state committee, conceded COOK county to Mckinley and Tanner and ad- mitted that the indications pointed to the rest of the state going the same way, although he would not give it up until full returns had been received from the country.
 The democrats look for larger gains and generally favorable returns from the southern part of the state, which has hardly been heard from yet. These re- turns are expected by Chairman Hein- richsen to largely offset the unfavorable figures from Chicago and northern coun- ties.
 Whiteside county gave Mckinley ma jority of 2,500, gain of 1,422 over 1892. Logan county has been carried by 300 ma jority. It was formerly democratic by 500. This is an indication of the ratio of republican gains from the counties heard from. Evanston's vote was: Mc- Kinley 3,0S7; Bryan eos. The republic ans carried Pullman by 400 plurality.
 Gov. Altgeld arrived at the Palmer house tonight from Springfield and re- ceived the returns in his room. He de- nied that he had conceded his defeat, claiming that the meagre returns did not warrant the claim of the republicans that Tanner was elected.
 State Chairman Heinrichsen said at 10 o'clock to the Southern Associated Press reporter q am claiming Altgeld's elec- ton. The Chicago returns only show McKinley's majority. Altgeld will run 40 900 ahead of Bryan in Chicago and if he makes the same comparative gains in the country he will win.
 Sixty precincts in Chicago show Alt geld ahead of Bryan 5000. Tanner will run 10000 behind Mckinley in Chicago. The presidential returns are no indica- ton of the vote on the state." Chicago, Nov. 3.-Substantially complete returns from the city show plurality for Mckinley of 51 1000.
