POLITICIANS ARE Fi0URiN0.

The publication of the official census
figures, showing a gain of o9S.I2j for
Chicago in the last ten yehrs. set the
managers at both Republican and Dem
ocratic State headquarters figuring on
Illinois representation in Congress
after the next apportionment and Chi
cago's representation in the State Leg
islature. All agreed that Illinois will
gain at least one member of Congress.
and perhaps two. while Cook County
vii certainly have much larger repre-
sentaton at Springfield.
BY the census of 1890 Illinois gained
| two members of Congress as Il result
of gain in population of approximate
~ 100000. When the figures for the
entire state are in. no doubt II will be
found that Illinois has gained as much.
IL not more. during the last ten years
as between 1850 and 1890.
| This does not necessarily mean that
IL will gain as many members of Con.
gress as it did then. for when Congress
comes to make the apportionment
among the various States IL may make
| the basis of representation larger than
ii did ten years ago. In fact. II must dc
this If it would Keep its own body from
being too unwieldy in size. The opin

CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES.
Secrecy About the Work Being Done
by Both Parties.

ny bOtn Partfes.
There Is more than the usual secrecy
about the work that is being done by the
campaign committees of the two parties
this year. Both congressional committees
are doing considerable work. much of that
for the national committees being entrusted
to them for the time being; but they are
going about it without attracting any more
attention than cannot be helped. The re-
publican committee have headquarters at
the Normandie, and the democrats are at
the Metropolitan. What is thought of the
issues of the campaign Is indicated by the
class of literature that is being circulated.
While the financial discussion is not be-
ing ignored, the bulk of literature being
sent out relates to questions of our insular
possessions. The democrats have not much
money, and are therefore not able to cir
like to, but they are sending out documents
made up of speeches and press comments
on the Porto Rican tariff, anti-imperialism
speeches, including such as have been made
by republicans, and speeches and compila-
tions relating to trusts together with
speeches relating to the financial legislation
by this Congress.
The republicans are directing themselves
particularly to the supposed disaffection
of the German vote, to defending the Phil
ippine policy and to justifying the course
followed with reference to Porto Rico,
They are said to have sent out thus early
between forty and fifty million documents
