BL/VOK JACK'S MAKOII , / , L THE LEGISLATIVE TIE RROEEN , Special Telegram to The BEE. SrniNomLn , III , , May 7. To the surprise of everybody , irrespectlvo of party , the re turns from yesterday' * ipeclal election in the thirty-fourth legislative district , composed of the counties of Mason , Monard , CMS and Schuyler , for a successor to Mr , Shaw , dem ocrat , a recently deceased member of the Illinois house of representatives , indicate the election of Mr. J. W , . Weaver , of Mason county , republican candidate. That dis trict haa been regarded oa one of the rock-rlbboJ democratic districts of Ill inois , the democrats having heretofore carried every county in it by majorities ranging ; from COO to GOO. At tbo last pres idential election the democrats carried it by over 2,003 majority. Nobody here expected that the republicans stoud a ghost of a chance of electing Shaw's successor and the result is aa complete a surprise to them aa it Is to the defeated and dazed democracy , It seems that the republicans of the district stole a march upon their opponents by adopt Ing the plan of a still bunt and caught the democrats i.sleep , the latter not belug aware that the republicans hod a candidate Ic the field at all until late in the day yesterday , The republicans kept shady uatll in the afternoon and then , _ being too late for the democrats to rally thtir forces for aa effective struggle , the former curried tha forts in ever ] county by storm , Tbe tchomo was ehrowdlj planned and sharply ex > cuted , Thn re sult Is that the partisan dead-loci In - the legitlatuie is broken. Thi democrats will nut longer have a ma jority of QUO in the house and en i joint ballot of the two houses the republican ! will now have a clear majority of two , whicl ought to insure the prompt election of a ra publican United States senator. Buttoenabl the republicans to elect their candid a to fo senator ho must receive every one of the 10 republican votes. Special to The BIB. CIIIOAO , 111. , May 7. The few dera ocrats about the local political resort this morning were divided in opintoi as to what the result of the election of a re publican member of tbe house in Shaw's plac would be , The city hall ptlltijians , commi within the Harrison circle of opinion , were o the unanimous mind that William K. Moi rison'shonld have been at homo mending hi fences Instnad of at Washington , meddlln with the offices. One prominentdemocrat sail he would like to bear the president's opinioi of the capacity of the Illinois managers if th report should prove to be true , Tha depntle in Maribal Jones' * late office were of the opir Ion that the stroke of policy would raise Set ator Logan immensely in the estimation of hi party , and that If be succeeded in getting t tha senate he would be , possibly , the repnbli can leader , CoL Morrison tflegraphod Wilbanks , cler of the house , to-day as follows : "Is thei any doubt about Shaw's successor bein elected. " Wilbaaks "Not replied , a d- bit. Weaver , republican , has been elected , By Associated 1'rest. SFRINOFIELU , III. , May 7. The senator ! ; aspect nas materially changed by the even * of tha last forty-eight hours and Gen. Logan chances appear very much brighter , nlthoup it is not positively known yet what Bittig wi do. That gent'eman ' , as soon as it becan fully apparent that Weaver bad been olfctt to-day , left for home. Tnu gener impression here is that ho will fa into line when the time comei althoup he feel ) tore over the abiuo received whoa 1 .palrod with Shaw. Logan is now fully conl dent of his ultimate success and correspom Ingly happy , ai , In fact , are all republican !

None of tl representative * from that district took tl trouble to visit it during the election , 10 cor fident were they that no opposition would I offered. They now see their folly and repei ' of It when It is too late. All doubts of Weaver's electic have vanished , It being clalrru that his majority now la SCO , Tl vote cast was not one-third of that cast I November last , Ic is averred by soma dem crats that tbe intimation of what was golr to ba sprung on them waa learned the ulgl bofar the election , and that the leaden the dlstiict were notified , but that they pane no attention to It Gen.

Previous to the ceremony mony of the unveiling of tbo bust of Coleridge a piolimlnary gathering was bold in the ( ihaptor housa. Besides Lord Chief Justice Coleridge and Baron Il'iughton , there were i resent Lord Abor- dare , Oinon Farror , Hobcrt Browning , Prof. BUckie and the whole Coleridge family , in cluding the grandson and grandaughter of the poet. A largo number of Americans were also in attendance. Dean Bradley and Mr. Lowell entered the Chapter house arm In arm. The dean Made a short speech in which ho said he heartily sympathized with the object of the meeting , He' paid a high tribute to Mr. Lowell and said that bo wax eminently fitted to perform the duty of unveil ing the statute. The ceremony , he said , would add another link to the many that al ready bonnd together England and America. Mr. Lowell replied that ho would have pre ferred that the task of unveiling the statute had been entrusted to worthier hands , but the fact that the bust was a gift of the late Rev. Dr. Mercer cf Rhode Island , through bis ex ecutrix , Mrs. Pell , supplied that argument of the fitness , which would otherwise have been absent. He continued ; "All the waters ol the Atlantic cannot wash out of the conscious ness of either nation that ws hold our intel lectual property In common. The llteray traditions and the home of those who ehed lustre upon our race remain an undivided inheritance , Coleridgo's worka are the cam- pinion and teacher in the happiest hours of our youth and old age recalls those radiant images of jouth which wo have lost. Surely there are no trienda to constant as poets , Among them none are more faithful than Coleridge , Just fifty-one years ago I became possessed of a private American' speech o ! Coleridge , and I tiust I may ba pardoned foi the delight I took in it. Coleridge waa a metaphysical teacher , and an interpretoi whoso services are incalculable , "This is neither the time nor the place to speak of Coleridge's conduct to him self , his family , or the world He left behind him a gioit name. Lot thosi who are blameless cast the first stone at oni who might have been better had he poesesset those business faculties which make ) a mai respectable. He loft us such a legacy as on ) ; genius , and a gxnlus not altrtfyv , can leave. Lord Coleridge returned thinks on behal of the family. The assemblage then went t the poets' corner and Mr. Lowell unveiled th statue , which bears the simple Inscription ' Samnol Tyler Coleridge. " ANGLO-UUB3IA , TO SUOCJKD tUMBDKN.
