The Probable Results in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. mckinley and
Roosevelt carried Illinois by majority
approximating 100000. In Cook county
the Republican majority was in the
neighborhood of 1900. The vote in the
rest of the State came close to the Re-
publican vote of four years ago. The re
turns from the counties outside CT Cook
come in slowly and the figures given
are to considerable extent estimates
of votes in the various counties based on
returns received frcm the precincts from
which information was obtained up to
o'clock Il. N. The southern counties of
the State held up we'll to the Republic
can vote Of 1896, and in some instances
the Republican majorities were larger
than they were four years ago In the
mining districts the Republican oandi-
dates suffered in certain localities, and
IN others the Republican ticket gained.
local conditions seemed to afect the
vote a good deal Richard Yates, the
Republican candidate fer Governor. ran
nearly even with Mckinley in most of
the counties in the State outside Ct Cook.
In some counties he ran ahead CT the na-
tional ticket, according to the Incomplete
reports received, and in others he was
somewhat behind the candidate for Presi-
dent. The indications are that Yates
will come to the Cook county line close
to the Mckinley vote.

returns from which were slow in coming
in. but the Republican majority in the
country towns will scarcely be sufficient
to overcome his lead in the city.
Mckinley carried the city by SAB To
this will be added probably 10000 when
the returns from the country towns come
in. This will give Mckinley majority of
II 600 or $4,000 in Cook county. There IS
40 doubt as to the election OF the entire
State ticket by majorities equaling or ex-
eeeding that given to Yates for Governor
So far as the returns indicate, the
scratching of ballots on the State ticket
in Cook county was confined TO the head
of the ticket. 1t may be presumed in the
absence OF detailed returns, that the 9th
er State candidates ran on about even
terms with Mckinley
The State Legislature is safely Repuo
lican, according to the partial returns az
hand, and the Republicans will be able
to elect United States Senator and re-
apportion the State, Senatorially- acd Con
occasionally. The indications are that
the Republicans viii have elghy-one

three IN toe Senate. This would give

ballet.
In tle city. Boaiel and Larimer for
Congress are probably defeated. but the
votes are very close and therefore no
definite statement can be made concern
ing the situation as far as these two can
didates are concerned. Mills also is prob
ably defeated. Marsh in The Fifteenth
district Rodenberg in the Twenty first
district, and Graft in the Fourteenth dis
trict are elected, with chances against
Ross in the Seventeenth. There are losses
in the Legislature in Cook county but the
Legislature viii undoubtedly be Republi-
can on Joint ballot and Will elect Il Re
publican to the United States Senate.
