CRECIER GIVES UP.
The Omsial Count shows That washburns
 Is Elected.


 CHICAGO, H., April 1S-In dispatches last Thursday evening the opinion was ventured that the municipal campaign here had resulted in defeat for Dewitt c. Cregier, Democratic candidate for Mayor, by about 400 plurality" How near that guess was to the exact truth may be seen from the following, which is the result of the official count completed this afternoon !: Hampstead Washburne, R.. 46, 957 CFegler, D......... .46, 5SS Harrison, bolter .....................4 AZ, 93l Elmer Washburn Citizens. ........ PA, 027 Morgan, Socialist . .......... 2,376
 Republican plurality, 3s0.
 Take down that picture" said Mayor Cregier this afternoon, pointing to a big crayon of himself that adorned the wall over his desk. 1T suppose from what hear that am no longer Mayor of Chicago. Either way l am satisfied. I am about ready to step out gracefully, and believe that am making room for an honest man n
 There is a possibility of a contest in the courts, but 1t is not believed by people who have inside info rmation from Mayor Gre gier's immediate advisers that such con- test will be made. The Canvassing Board adjourned until Monday forenoon for the purpose of taking up the large number of precinct returns which have been laid over for revision, and at that time Judge Prem dergast will present proof of alleged Re- publican frauds. If these proofs are of such a nature as to invalidate the election of Mayor, then the board may act, other wise the certificate of election will go to Hcmpstead Washburne, and that will in all probability be ths end of one of the most remarkable elections held in Chicago since the fire.
