Chicago, Nov. 7.-Complete returns
from fifteen counties in the state and
partial returns from the others, includ-
ing the full vote of Chicago, indicate a
plurality for William Mckinley that
will probably exceed 10000. Chairman
Watson, of the Democratic state cen
trail committee, conceded the state to
Mckinley by 10000. Returns also in
dictate the election of the full Repub-
li-ccan state ticket by majorities CON
ures, the scratching on the state ticket
being confined almost entirely to Cook
county, where Alschuler's personal
popularity told heavily in favor of the
Democratic nominees so much so in
fact that it is probabl that county was
carried for the Democratic state ticket.

Republicans have lost two and posi-
bly, three representative in Chicago,

the congressional delegation is in
doubt The Democrats claim gains in
one or two districts, but Republican
leaders assert that the delegation will
remain unchanged. 1t is practically

pected to cut into the strength of the
big parties, did not cut much figure.

1886, and that of Debts 5,O22. Barker,

date, received but 199 votes out of a
total of over 10000.
Legislative and County Tickets.
Returns on the legislature and coun-
ty tickets came in very slowly. On

One of the most bitter fights of the
election was over Lloyd J. Smith, can
didate for drainage trustee, who was
acquitted Monday of a charge of man
ipulating warehouse grain receipts.
Smith received much Democratic sup
port and is probably elected. The

publicans cOncede five 1t may take
