Republican Rick McIntyre conceded defeat in the 8th District congressional race by saying he'd rather lose to incumbent Frank McCloskey by 4,000 votes of the people than by four votes in Congress. McIntyre was referring to the hotly disputed 1984 race, when he was declared the election night winner but McCloskey was seated on the basis of a recount by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. In the rematch, McCloskey's unofficial total with all 517 precincts reporting was more than 13,000 106,717 to 93,405. He claimed victory shortly before 11 p.m. CST Tuesday, attributing his success to the national economy, his record in two terms of office and voters' perceptions that his opponent 'got outrageously neg- By Garry Trudeau ative' 1 in his campaign.

The biggest controversy was McIntyre's unsubstantiated allegation that McCloskey had smoked opium while mayor of Bloomington in the early 1970s. McCloskey vehemently denied the claim but acknowledged he had tried marijuana twice. During his victory speech, McCloskey referred to the incident by telling cheering supporters: "You know, some really weird things came up three or four weeks ago and I just want to say that from the time that hit and I made my statement I knew that I had grassroots support, love, respect, affection. "The energy taken in with the message from the 8th district was that negative, underhanded and worse campaigning is not going to prosper in the Midwest." More about: Senate- Continued from page 1 programs through," said Frank Fahrenkopf, Republican national chairman. "But the president is a master of building coalitions and he always has that ability to carry his message directly to the American people." Later, appearing on Mutual Radio's Larry King show, Fahrenkopf was asked by Mutual Radio talk show host Larry King what he would do differently if he had the chance.

"Maybe you'd pick a little better candidates," he replied. He said voters made their decisions based on local issues and on what they saw as the "relative merits" of opposing candidates. Paul Kirk, the Democratic chairman, said the reversal of political fortunes means Reagan will "have to be in a position of either accepting what the Senate and House send to him, compromising with them to get a result, or putting himself in sort of a Captain Veto position." Said retiring House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill "If there was a Reagan revolution, it's over. "It will be the art of government by compromise.

It has happened many times in the past and it's not that bad." "It's going to be contentious, no doubt about it," said Rep. Jack Kemp, a possible 1988 presidential contender. But he insisted that the election was not a referendum on Reagan. "Democrats across the country were not campaigning against Ronald Reagan," Kemp said. "In fact a lot of them sounded like Ronald Reagan." In the South, Democratic Gov.

Bob Graham defeated Sen. Paula Hawkins in Florida. In Louisiana, Rep. John Breaux kept the Senate seat of retiring veteran Russell Long in the Democratic column by defeating Rep. Henson Moore.

He also campaigned door-todoor, and his signs sprouted in northwest Muncie yards that normally grow only Republican advertisements. Education was Carmichael's main campaign theme, and teachers flocked behind him. The Indiana State Teachers Association, determined to oust Dailey, endorsed Carmichael and contributed at least $7,000 to his campaign.

But the ISTA also was after Senate President Pro Tempore Robert Garton, R-Columbus, contributing at least $10,000 to his opponent, and Garton won Tuesday with 57 percent of the vote from his district. Carmichael today proposed a theory that encompassed several explanations. "I think it's disgruntled teachers and their families and Ball State faculty and staff," he said. "People were upset over the lottery. People interested in fair play wanted to get the state Legislature back to an more even split between the Republicans and Democrats." Was he surpised by the margin? "I can't get over it," he said.

"I always thought I would win, and even thought I would win by a comfortable margin." But, he said, the landslide means that numbers in this election are "basically useless" for future campaigns. "It'll probably take years to figure this one out," he said. Continued from page 1 thing." McCloskey said he believes that if the allegation had not been made, he "would have won anyway, but it would have been a to vote win." McIntyre's press secretary, Randy Campbell, contended that a national voting trend, not the drug allegations, caused the loss. "This was not the year to run as. a Republican," he said, noting that Democrats claimed several GOP seats statewide and nationally.

"We weren't the only ones who were victims of the national trend." McIntyre, of Bedford, had no immediate comment on whether he would run for the 8th District seat in 1988. McCloskey told supporters late Tuesday he was happy incumbency won't be an issue because the returns showed "we won fair and square." former Republican Gov. Christopher S. "Kit" Bond over Lt. Gov.

Democratic Rep. Tim Wirth defeated GOP Rep. Kenneth B. Kramer. And in California, three-term Democrat Alan Cranston defeated Rep.

Edward Zschau. The last Democratic victory was assured at midday Wednesday when the final votes were counted He also took a poke at those who said President Reagan's recent Evansville campaign stop for McIntyre would provide the Republican a margin of victory. "And to think that after Ronald Reagan was here and George Bush was here and after various things have been tried, we've run substantially ahead of 1984 in 14 of 15 counties. "So hopefully there will not be a recount. I'm just looking forward to getting back to work and the normal chaotic routine of the Congress." But his plans for today were a little less complicated.

"I'm going back to Bloomington to rake leaves in the afternoon. I'll put on my blue jeans and sneakers and rake about 4 million leaves without any phones." in North Dakota and showed Kent Conrad, the Democratic state tax commissioner, a winner over firstterm Republican Mark Andrews. By numbers and history, the Democrats always had an edge in the struggle for control of the Senate. As a result of the Reagan landslide six years ago, Republicans had 22 seats to defend, Democrats only 12. As to history, the off-year election took place in the sixth year of a presidential term.

And the parties of incumbent presidents have virtually always done poorly in such an election. Related story on page 7 Stevenson loss blamed on LaRouche candidates CHICAGO (AP) Republican Gov. James R. Thompson won an unprecedented fourth term over Adlai Stevenson, whose advisers blamed his loss on the presence of two disciples of extremist Lyndon LaRouche on the Democratic ticket. Alan Dixon, one of just two freshman Democrats elected to the U.S.

Senate in the 1980 Reagan landslide, trounced conservative Republican state Rep. Judy Koehler. With 93 percent of the vote tallied, Thompson had 1,542,163 votes or 53 percent, while Stevenson had 1,155,928 votes or 40 percent. Stevenson resigned the Democratic nomination and ran as a third-party candidate after LaRouche supporters Mark Fairchild and Janice Hart scored upset victories in the March Democratic primary races for lieutenant governor and secretary of state respectively. Voters therefore could not vote a straight Democratic party ticket and still vote for Stevenson.

"Without the LaRouche thing, the man would have won," said Bob Democrats Continued from page 1 elected to the chairmanship. Tuesday's results don't indicate that the grumbling or challenges are likely to abate. Nelson, on the other hand, was unopposed for chairman this year and there is no apparant dissatisfaction with his performance. At least if there is, it wasn't mentioned during Tuesday's celebration.

The contest was a bitterly fought rematch of the 1982 governor's race, which Stevenson lost by 5,074 votes, the closest margin in Illinois history. The gubernatorial slot on the Democratic ticket, which listed "no candidate" for governor and Fairchild for lieutenant governor, received 189,269 votes or 7 percent. Hart came in third to Jim Edgar, a Republican. In the Senate race, with 93 percent of the vote tallied, Dixon had 1,871,747 votes or 65 percent, while Koehler had 981,822 votes or 34 percent. lis attorney, while Bowen, 34, gave up his job as Marshall County judge to run for secretary of state.

The 8th District race in 1984 was the closest congressional election in history. It was not decided until six months after the election and then on the floor of the Democraticcontrolled U.S. House of Representatives. McCloskey, the former Bloomington mayor, was declared the by four votes over McIntyre. Republicans were outraged and vowed to make this year's race a priority.
