| A Revolution In Politics in Steubenvills.
SrKUBENvILLE, April 5.-One OF the
hottest fights at the polls in the history
OF this city took place yesterday. The
Republicans have usually about 800 ma
jorty in the city, but the returns an.
nounce this to be an off year. Mayor
Irwin, the Republican candidate for re.
election, was defeated by James Marion,
the Democratic candidate, by 266 votes.
A large number of the Republicans sup.
ported Marion, who was defeated
by Irwin in 1879 by l42
majority. The change was brought
about by strong fight
against the Ring, together with feeling
of the anti third termists. Irwin was
supported by the saloonists, while the
better class Of the Republicans joined
with the Democrats and elected their
candidate. The election should prove
a warning to all third term candidates.
In 1859 John +. Oliver was elected by
the Democrats Mayor OF this city, over
Hon. Richard Sherard by l55 majority,
and from that time down to the present
the city has not had a Democratic
Mayor.

entire Democratic ticket, except Street
Commissioner, to have been elected by

Chicago solidly Democratic.
CHICAGO, April 5.-The returns from
93 precincts give Harrison, Democratic
candidate for Mayor, 1856 majority.
remaining q precincts will change this
total somewhat, but will net alter the
fact that the Democrats have car
ried the entire city and town ticket
BY fair majority with the possible eI-
ception OF the West Side town ticket.
The indications are that the vote cast
will he about $1,000, which is nearly
5000 less than at the Presidential elec-
ton last fall
Midnight-Hsrrison's majority will
reach 5000, and probably exceed that
figure somewhat
