The municipal election in Chicago, last week,
resulted in the choice of the entire Republican
ticket, with the exception of City Treasurer,
by about 1000 majority. Clinton Briggs, the
Democratic nominee, was elected Treasurer by
5,263 majority. The City Council is largely
Republican and anti-Colvin. Thomas Hoyne
was united upon by all parties for Mayor and
was elected without opposition. But as no
election for Mayor had been legally authorized,
and the present incumbent, ColYin, has ex-
pressed his determination not to yield up the

grams from some two hundred points in Illi-

vania, where the bulk of the winter wheat is
9rown, showing the present condition of the
growing crops of winter wheat and fruit. Hi
nois promises well. In few counties the
wheat threatens to prove failure but by far
the majority of the reports are encouraging.
Peaches were injured by the cold spell dur
ing March, but apples and nearly all varieties
of small fruit look well and promise an
abundant yield. Michigan and Pennsylvania
report excellent prospects for. all kinds of
crops. In some parts of the latter State
peaches and early apples have suffered, but not
seriously. Michigan, however. expects a
plentiful yield all round. In Indiana the win
ter and spring have proved unfavorable for
winter wheat and peaches but apples and
small fruits appear to be thriving. Reports
from Ohio are to the effect that wheat is badly
damaged except in well drained bottom lands
and a reduced yield of all kinds of fruit is ex-
pected.
