Chicago City Election.

CHICAGO, April lS.-At midnight the
returns which are in from the city election
are only scattering. Enough precincts
are heard from, however, to indicate that
the side of decency has prevailed; that
what is known as the hummer element
has been worsted, 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 Hoyne for mayor has been
toerably full. though both Republicans
and Democrats have scratched his name
in many precincts.
The Tribune, cditorially, Tomorrow,
will anrounce the grounds on which MIR.
1oyne bases his claim to the mayorality.
They are:
/. That vacancy existed by the adop-
tion of the new charter, which provided
that the persons then in Office should cen
tinue to act unit! the next election.
2 That this vacancy existing it was the
right of the people to elect a person to
fill that vacancy at the next election.
3. That the failure of the mayor and
common council or of all other officers to
eau Sucn an electlcn cannot ueleaI inc
right of the people to hold it, and that
such election is as valid as though notice
had been given.
4. That the election having been held,
no refusal by the judge of election to make
returns of the common council to canvass
can invalidate it.
CHICAGO, April l9.-Almost complete
returns from the city election show a
sweeping victory for the Republican and
Municipal Reform tickets. The following
we're elected:
Clinton Briggs oyer Clark Lipe for city
treasurer by majority of 50lS
! Tuthill over Adams for city attorney
by majority of ATS.
Butz over Hearting for city clerk by a
majority of $3.50.
Best over Bonfeld for clerk of police
court by majority 6,06S.
OF the above mentioned Briggs is the
only name which appeared on the Demo
cratic ticket.
Hoyne had no opponent for mayor. His
vote was about $4,000.
But few of the new common council are
elected from what is commonly known here
as the hummer crowd.
