B.—The vote of eightyfour counties in Illinois, in lading Cook. shows niaiorilies for Harrison of :-8,913, and for Cleveland of 1b,373. The remaining eighteen counties in 1834 gave Blaine 5,881 and Cleveland<>,s42. Assuming that these eighteen count ies, not ye t fully report d, give the same result as in 18s4. the State wi’-l now give a plurality lor Harrison of 18.9’2. Therefore, that Harrison’s plurality will be about 19,900. Eighty-six counties of Illinois, including Cook, give pluralities for Fifer, 35,218; Palmer, 27,355. The remaining sixteen counties in 1884 gavepluralities for Maine, 5,639, and Cleveland, 4,356. Assuming that Fifer will lose in these sixteen counties in about the same ratio as those reported, his plurality over Palmer in the State will be about 7,800. It is not believed his plurality can vary 1,000 votes from this figure. Chicago, Nov. 9. —Harriscn's plurality, as shown in the returns so far received, is iv,920, and Fifer's 5,274. On the Presidential vote in these figures all but twelve counties axe included, and on the vote for Governor all but sixteen counties. The totals show that Harrison has a plurality in the State of about 19,000, while Fifer’s pluraliiy over Palmer will be about 7,800. The Prohibition vote shows a. slight increase all over the State, but no reliable figures on this can be obtained. MICHIGAN, Detroit, Mich., Nov. 9.—Harrison’s plurality in Michigan will reach 22,600, against 3,308 for Blaine in 1884, This large gain is undoubtedly due to the return of the Greenbackers to the old party lines. Four years ago the fusion vote of the State was 189,361, the straight Democratic vote being 149,835 and the Greenback vote being 41,490. The combined Greenback and Union Labor vote of last Tuesday will not exceed 18,000. Comparatively few counties have made returns on the Prohibition vote, but St. John's vote of 18,403 has been reduced nearly oue-half. Luce (Rep.) for Governor will have a plurality of about 13,500. He was biit -rly opposed by the liquor men and ran behind in all the large cities. In Wayne County Cleveland’s plurality is 4,494,. while that of Burt (Dem.) for Governor is 9,643. In the country, however, Luce more than held his own. CONNECTICUT.

San Francisco, Nov. 9. —Not one-half the precincts in the State have bean counted, aud the result is still in doubt. Republican gains are heavy in the interior, and the Republicans ciaim they will have 15,000 in the State. San Francisco, however, will give from 6.000 to 10,000 Democratic majority. For Congress the Democrats will have Biggs in the Second, Farrall in the Fourth and Clunie in the Fifth. The Republicans are sure of McKenna in the Third, and Vandevere in the Sixth, with the chances of Dehaven in the First. In San Francisco 22,704 votes out of a total of 55,370 give Harrison 10,915,.
