CHICAGO, April S.-The polls closed at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon on one of
the most exciting municipal elections
ever known in the city of Chicago. The
day was bright and sunny and this,
coupled with the fact that there were
ave car didates for the mayors chair,
viz: Dewitt c. Cregier (dem.), the pres
ent incumbent; Hampstead Washburn
(rep.), Carter II. Harrison Gnd. dem),
Elmer Washburne Cind. rep), and
Thomas Morgan (socialist), caused
very heavy vote to be cast.
A row between republicans and Dem
ocrats in the Thirtieth ward resulted dis
astrously to J. II. Clark, a republican
who became engaged in the dispute.
Clark was knocked down and his chest
kicked in. He was taken to his home,
where his injuries were pronounced
fatal. James Scott, colored man, was
shot and dangerously wounded at the
polling place of the fifteenth precinct
of the First ward

AZ votes behind Hampstead Washburne
