Both parties i this city had their forces at the polls early, but while the democrats have been voting stoady, the negroes have mnot turned out in their usual strength up to noon.

IN ILLINOILS, Chicago Casts a Light and Principally Democratic Vote, Cmicaco, Nov. 5.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bre.|—1he most conspicuous feature of to-day's election here was the extremely light vote cast all over the city and county up to the hour of closing tho polls, It was noticed that hurdly 50 per cent of tne number of ballots cast at the presiden- tial eloction had been thrown. There scemed to be very little interest taken in the resalt, as tho ofiicers to ve slected are all county oficials, The_polls closed at 4 o'clock and at this hour, 5 p.i m., §the Journal (rep) takes a dismal view of the situation and practically concedes.a democratic victory. “The hottest fight is between Stephens (rep) and Crawford (dem) for the recordership. Upon this pont the Journal says: “Mr. Stephens bas driven all over the city to-day und told a gentleman that though ho bad fought a bard fight he did not feel alto- gother confident of victory. It is conceded ut headquarters that Crawford has made big inroads in the ranks of organized labor and that in consequence he has run away from his ticket,” The election beld in Cook count was for two judges, a recorder of deeds and 4 board of county commissioners. night the indications are, at 1030 p. m., that the democrats huve scored n sweeping victory. It is conceded they have captured the board of county commissioners, which will now stand ten democrats to five republicans, It recordersnip is a neck and neck race be- tween Stephens (rep) und Crawford (dem), with the chances in fuyor, of the latter., At 11 p. m. the recordership is not yet set- tled, and the full returns will probably ve necessary to doterming I, The best “esti- mates, however, give Crawford the election by 600 plurality. o No opposition to the| Chicago drainage project was developed, The bar candidates for the two judgeships, one republican and one democrat, were un- opposed.

Campbell is Treaaing Close on Fora- ker'n Heels. CixoixNar, Nov. 5,--One hundred and one out of 170 precincts)in Cincinnati give Campbell a plurality of 2,610, ‘This indicates for the city and county a majority for Campbell of 4,856, wuich will be a democratic gain in Hamiltou county of 11,000, This would leave a little over 12,000 in other portious of the state Lo be overcome by Campbell. ‘Tho loss by Foraker of Hamilton county, which gave bim a plurality of nearly 7,000 Lwo years ugo, has been largely effected by defection in the German republican waras, The loss in single precincts in sowe of these wards amount to more than 200 votes, This result was not anticipsted by the repub- licuus. While the losses of Foraker were not con- fined o these wards they are much more marked than io other portions of the city, ‘Tue returns also show tnut especially o the German wards the head of the Licket wus the thing most severely hit by republicaa scratcbers, The Comuforcial Guzeite com- . to-dny menting on the result in Hamilton count 8ay8s 1t I8 the outgrowth of the Sunday ques- tion. Saioon legslation did not scem to be the disturbing thing, but rather the bad ad- ministration of the Sunday law was the ause of the discontent among the Germans. Tho estimato at midnight is that Camp bell will carry Hamilton county by over 6,000, Four hundred and sixty-three precincts in Ohio outside of Hamilton county give For- aker 06,976, Campbell 63,161, Helwig 3,534, The same in 1887 gave Foraker 65,738, Pow- ell 53,305, Sharp 8,553, ¥ The Enquirer claims the election of Camp- boll by a slight majority, but concedes the election of the rest of the state ticket. As 1o the legislature, it is in doubt. Six hun- dred and forty-eight voting places in Ohio outside of Cincinnat give Forak Campbell 90,184, Holwig 5,05 places in 1887 gave Foreker 88,577, Sharp 5,140, Cincinoati complete gives Foraker Campboll 31,714 Campbell's majority 0,052, CrLEVELAND, Nov. 5.—Early this ning as returns camo in from various precincts throughout the state it becamo evident that the prohibitionists were gaining, which meant a 108s to the republicans, It was also observed that the labor party had lost heavily over jts vote of two years ago, an indication of a marked gain for the demo- crats, The election was very quiet. Theday hore was marked with no adventure. The re publicans generally feit sure that Foraker would be out liere and theraby cautious citi- zens who think two terms in the gubernator- ial chair enough forany man and by others who do not nor never will believe that he was faithfui to Sherman in the last conven- tion. The democrats felt confident that Camp- bell would suffer atthe hands of those mem- bers of his party who swear by ex-President Cleveland aud toriff reform, ~All this com- plicated the situation and the republicans were prepared for Foraker's election by & plurality of 10.000 or his defeat by a plural- ity not quite 8o large, perhaps. The whisky question cut no small figure in the contest, The improssion prevailed that the brewers, distillers and dealers gen- erally were democrats {his autumn and many members of the democratic party in favor of restricting the liquor trafiic were quite content to vote the republican ticket and to thus defeat the supposed pur- poses of those men woo seck to amend the preseut liquor laws. Here again was another complication and there was iudeed “no logic of the situa- tion.” It was a plain case of unfathomable uncertainty. At 12:30 the republicans feel positive of having the legislature, which if truo means a republican United States senator instead of Honry B. Payue, In the western reserve the ropublicans have gained almost in every county, ana if Foraker is defeated the south- ern end of tie state did i Conumsus, O., Nov. 'he election here was ono of the most quiet_ever experienced in the city. The volls did not close until 6 The same Powell . m, Chairman Neal, of the democratic stato executive committee, claims Campbell's election by from 5.000 to 10,000 plurality. As to thie legislature ho is in doubt. He thinks, however, it may be democratic on joint ballot. The entire legislative ticket in Hamilton is claimed by the democrats, and gains elsewhere, Ex-Chairman_ Cappeller, feels confident that Foraker 1s elected. ' He does not con- cede Hamilton to theidemocrats by more than 4,000 votes, and says' the democratic gains elsewnere in the state must average five and one-half votes to elect Cumpbell.

National banks having 41¢ per cont bonds deposited with the United Statos tecasuror, to secure eireulation would do well to wait at least a few months before changing them 0 4 per cents. This is the advico of the treasury oficials, The 1mpression obtains in the department that congress will take some action to re- liove the stress upon the national banks duo 1o the near approach of maturity of the 4ig per cen! It is true that they become due in twenty months; that their premium for that reason 1s fast diminishing, but there are reasons for believing that the premium of theds will depreciate quite as rapidly, 8o that there can be only the risk in waiting that there may be in a *“corner” on the 4s not already in the hands of the banks, 1t is not known yet what recommendations Secre- tary Windom will make in his annual roport relative to national bank culation. It is not n party, but a business proposis , and not 'm theory but a condition that confronts him. 'The bulk of the 41§ per cent bonds are now deposited in the vaults of the treasury 1 securo bank circulation, They full die September, 1801, and somes thing must be done to give the banks another basis for circulation, otherwiso the existence of the circulation of a great many b be wiped out in less than two stringency will follow 1 the mone and a panic ensue which will very mate affect the b interests of the country. The secretary i8 very anxius not to disturb the present virculat nodium, but in this re- spect and 1o this extent he is compelled to act. «It will be recalled that Comptroller Tren- holm, at the convening of the last congress, suggested three or four vemedies for the troubles which are now very ncgr the na- tional bank: He first recommended the suance of a 2 por cent bond to ruu say 100 years, the natioual banks to have the pre- ‘erence in the purchase, the intention of the issue beme to give anotheg and better basis for national bank circufation, If this should not be accepted ho thought a reduc- tion of the winmmum of thedeposit to secure circulation, the proper thing. At prosent a bank must deposit 25 per cent of 1ts capital stock and take out circulution on that basis, For instance & bank with 100,000 capital must buy §25,000 worth of bonds, bonds to the par ‘value of £5,000, and deposit them with the treasurer to 'secure circulation, But the bank does not get_that amount of circulating uotes, althouzh it must pay n pras mium of about 28 per cent to get. the bonds, ts bank notes aggregating £22,500 to rop- sent this investment of £3 in bondsi a decrease in the deal aniounting 1o alojost $10,000. Comptroller Trenholm thought in the event the low priced boud broposition failed that this minmmum of deposit might be reduced from 25 per cent of the capital stock of a bank to say 2or b per cent. He held that sinco the object in making the deposits and tuking out circulation was sim= ply to make a connection between private in- terests and the federal government, it would do just as well to deposit §1,000 as $25,000, In uny event he thought a bank, especially in view of the fact that bouds are at a high premium and the_government never depre- ciates its own obligations, should be given circulating notes to the full par value of the bonds deposited to secure circulation, The house committee on banking and currency put a bul of this character on the calender, and it would ‘have passed both houses of congress had a day been given to it. It is believed that Secretury Windom will recom= wend one or wore of these suggestions ana congress will take action. In any event ivis given as the best advico attainablo at the treasury department that national banks naving 4'4 per cent bonds deposited would do well to wait awhiie before making any move, WasHiNGToN Boreau Tis Osama Bes, } MATONE'S MANG:UVRE Virginia’s unreconstructed confederates are drunk on whisky and joy to-night.
