Republicans Apparently Have q Ma
jOrity In Both Branches.
CHICAGO, November S.-With a few
doubtful districts yet to hear from, the re-
publicans apparently have a majority in
both branches of the Illinois legislature.
The margin In the lower house, however, is
but one on the face of the returns SO far
received, and the democrats still claim
they will control that branch and possibly
the legislature on joint ballot According
to present indications the legislature will
stand as follows:
House-Republicans, II; democrats, &c.
neutrality-suspicious. %; democrats, O.
On the other hand, the republicans claim
they will have a majority of seven in the
lower house and fifteen in the senate.
