MILWAUKEE. Wis, April 1.-The
election in this city to-day excited un-
usual interest owing to the fact that the
sO-calIed Bennett law, enacted by the
last legislature and requiring the teach
ing of English in all schools, private
made an issue. The Republicans de-
were pledged to its repeal, which
was demanded by the Catholic
bishops, and German Lutheran
clergy who had bitterly denounced
the law. The polls did not close until
6:3O, but the indications from the re-
turns thus far received are that George
w. Peck, Democrat, editor Uf Peck's
Sun, has been elected over Mayor
Brown, who was nominated by the Re-
publicans. There was also third ticket
in the field, headed 10y N. S. MuIphey,
the Labor-Citizens' candidate. Many
Democrats denounced the position of
their party on the educational law, but
voted for their party candidates OH the
ground that the law was not an issue in
the municipal candidates. The Luther
an and Catholic clergy were very active
in supporting the Democratic candi-
dates, who were pledged to the repeal
of the law. Full returns will be late.
The Democrats elect Peck mayor and
their entire ticket by 5000 majority.
