What In shown by the Latest Avail
able Returns.
Chicago, Nov. S.-Returns received
indicate that Illinois gave Mckinley
and Roosevelt 100, 900 plurality. Rich
ard Yates is elected governor by at
least 10000. The entire republican
state ticket is also successful.
The general assembly, which will
redistrict the state and choose a sue
cessor to Senator Cullom, is safely re-
publican. 1t takes 103 votes on joint
ballot to elect a United States sena-
tor, and the returns SC far received
show that the republican strength in
the legislature is at least ITO. The
lower house is made lap of rs repub-
Gicans and IS democrats, and the SEN
ate consists of 80 republicans and IL
democrats.
This city was a surprise to the re-
publican managers. Four years ago
McKinley's plurality here was 56.0t1-
Yesterday his plurality was 1874. The
country towns of Cook county added
about 10000 to this, making his plu-
rality in the county 1885. Though
favoring Mckinley over Bryan, Chi
cago voted democratic OF the govern.
orship, Alschuler running far ahead
of Bryan and carrying the city by a
plurality of 13,459 over Yates. Al
schuler's strength is explained by the
partially for him among voters on
account of his stand in the legislature
against the street railway bills. Cold
democrats are also said to have voted
for him, while scratching Bryan from
the head of the ticket. The total city
vote cast was about $4,000, which is
in excess of the total in 1896, which
was 345,4s3.
Judge Yates had a plurality over
Alschuler in the country towns of
Cook county, but it was not sufficient
to overcome the 4atter's plurality in
the city, anu the result is that Al
schiller has a plurality OF 1904 in the
county. Eugene. V. Debs polled $3.50
and Barker, 2U2.
The democrats carried four of the
seven congressional districts in Cook
county, gaining a representative in
the Second district, in which William
Lorimer, the head of the local repub-
Iican machine, was defeated. Bou-
telle (rep.) had a close call in the
Sixth district, but the revised returns
Indicate his election by a small mar
gin. The democrats also gained a
congressman in the Twenty-first dis
trict, in which Fred j. Kern (dem.)
beat w. A. Rodenberg (rep.). Other
than these there were no changes.
The Illinois delegation in the next
will consist of IL republicans
and ten democrats. The delegation
now has II republicans and eight
democrats.
In the 70 counties of the state from
which reports have been received,
Mckinley has a plurality of 5000.
The % counties to hear from are eX-
pected to bring the plurality above
the 100000 figure.
