CHICAGO, April S.-The politicians
of the city were astonished this after
noon by the announcement that it had
been discovered that the recent eIec-
tion in this city was illegal and that it
was in the power of any citizen to over
throw it. This state of affairs grows
out of a decision by the supreme court
of the state since the election was held,
This decision was to the effect that the
town Of Brighton Park and other por-
tions of the township of Cicero, had
been by vote of the people on Nov.
II, 1887, legally annexed to the town
ships of South and West Chicago.
Previous to the annexation the town
ships of South and West Chicago
were entirely included within the linn
its of the city of Chicago. While the
decision of the court annexed the new
territory to the townshipS it did not
operate to make it a part of the CITY
the<> power to extend limits of which
rests With the city council. Therein
lies all of the trouble. The general Law
of the state provides that whenever al
Of a township lies within the limits o.
n city the city election shall be held OF
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in April, and that wherever
township is not all included within tn,
city limits, the election shall be held OF
the third Tuesday in April. Under TIN
decision OF the supreme court the cit,
OF Chicago does not entirel
cover the townships of SOutI
and West Chicago and therefore tn
election instead of being held on In
first Tuesday IN April as it was, shout
have been held on the third Tuesday
Moreover the law requires that invent
days notice of an election shall be give
and as the time is too short betwee
this date and the third Tuesday i
