CHICAGO. November 4.-The election in
this city. though holly contested, passed
on very quietly. The day opened cool and
clear. but the sky became overcast and rain
was threatened. Later the clouds broke
away and the sun again appeared. The
polls were opened at O'Clock and closed
at 4 p. NJ. Chief interest centred IN the
contest for tho shrevalty between Con-
gresham Frank Lawler QOemocrat) and
james II. Gilbert (Republican). An ele-
ment of interest was also injected into
the contest tor the position OF county
| superintendent of public schools by
tho candidacy of Mrs. General Mulligan,
who was the Democratic nominee. The
little red schoOl-house" was the issue:
Mrs. Mulligan is a Roman Catholic, and
her opponelt. Albert G.. Lane, protestant,
and the public-school question was used
for the purpose OF turning Democratic
votes. From 6 to O'clock the voting was
rapid, sending majorities up into the hun
| dreds. but later when the sun began 10
shine and the air became warmer, the
Republicans began to arrive at the
polling places. They held no con-
yersatfon with ticket peddlers, but
| took from their vest-pockets neatly
! folded tickets. the contents of which none
but themselves knew. Men who had not
been TO the polls for years visited them to-
dav and cast their ballots for the Republi-
can candidates. This was really the strong
| point of the Republican side OF the battle.
The work had been done on registration;
day. In short, Cook county has not had
/ an election in many years, if ever, where
the rich and aristocratic came out IN sueh
numbers TO vote Through On error the
distribution Republican ballots failed 70
p reach some of the outlying wards at the
opening of the polls and many voters were
obliged to come into the city to attend 10
their business without voting.
TO the agitation on the compulsory
school question and the uncertain strength
) of the ticket Of the Citizens or Patriotic
Sons of America is due the great extent to
= which the respective State tickets were
scratched here. The so-called Citizens
ticket contained only the names
of native-born Americans, and was
, made up Of the nominees OF the two
leading parties, with now and then
D a Prohibitionist, where the two principal
= parties happened TO have both nominated
: native-born citizens for some particular
. Office. The Citizens ticket, which local
: politicians dubbed the "Know-Nothine
: Ticket" claimed vote of 1900 III ,Cook
county. but the returns would indicate
that they did not poll half OF that number
: ! The contest in the four city congresslona
n the tariff issue was in a large measure los'
+ sight of. -,

v perfect throughout the entire State, clea
s and crisp, and IN the cities and towns gen

It was the working of the new Australian
Y ballot system, curiosity as to Its operation

early. The stringent provisions of the ne,

. near the polls, and the result was that n

u arrests for illegal voting. There was som
