Chicago Election,

CHICAGO, April 18.-At midnight the
returns, which are in from the city cleo
tion are only scattering, enough precincts
are heard from however, to indicate that
the side of decency has prevailed, and
that what is known as the hummer
element has heen wasted and
that the common council will
be composed largely of good men.
Clinton Briggs, the Democratic nominee
for city treasurer, has probably beaten
Clark Lipe, the Republican candidate.
The vote for Hayne for mayer has been
tolerab!y iull, though both the Republi
cans and Democrats have scratched his
name in many precincts.
The Trsbu .e, editorially, tomorrow
will announce the grounds on which Mr..
Hayne bases his claim to the Mayorality.
They are: First, that a vacancy existed
by the adoption of the new charter,
which provided the persons then IN Office
should continue to act until the next
election. Second, that as this vacancy
existed it was the right of the people to
elect person to fill that vacancy at the
next election. Third, that the failure of
the Mayor, common council or Of all
other officers to call such election, cannot
defeat the right OF the people to hold it,
and that such election is as valid as though
notice had been given. Fourth,
that election having been held. 10 refusal
by the judges of election to make returns
or of the common council to canvass
them, can invalidate it.
Steamer Sunk.
A Times Keokuk special says that the
steamer ID. A Mcdonald while attempt
ing to pass through the draw bridge with

the hull of the boat was smashed in and

feet of water. A number of women and

much difficulty. The boat was valued
at $4,000 and was insured. She is the
property of Messrs. Vanzsndt, Of Lee
