rs he rode from polling place to polling
place. urging on his followers. Allerton
remained quietly in the Republican
headquarters, receiving word as TO the
progress of the contest throughout the
city.
By O'clock. an hour after the closing
of the polls, the crowds began TO con-
gregate in front of the newspaper
offices to await the returns. At the
corner of Fifth avenue and Washington
street the Times -building-w where Har-
rison'S paper is published-was great
sheet of canvas, upon which the returns
were thrown by StereOptican, half a
block to the south similar canvas bore
the returns of the Record, and half a
block to the east the Herald
Gave Ont Its News.
The two latter papers have been
strongly anti-IlarTiSOn during the cam
paign, and the crowds which packed the
streets in front of their buildings par
took strongly of their sentiments. The
edges of these crowds brushed against
the throng that had voted for Harrison
by day, and was yelling for him by
night. The contact was not conducive
10 friendly feeling, and the numerous
detachmentS of police had all they
cared to do in keeping the peace. As 1t
was, there was many rich black eye
and swollen bloody lip before 10 o'clock
at night.
The first returns were strongly in IA
vOr of Harrison, and his followers sim
ply went wild. They yelled, howled,
waved their hats and derided the poll
ties and disparaged the ancestry of the
AllertOn men. who were not slow in
making retOrtS equally pointed and un-
complimentary. The tin horn fend eS-
capped from the confinement in which he
has been held since last November, and
tried, as he always does, to blow
out his brains through ten
cent tunnel. The street cars on the
lines in front of the newspaper offices
had a desperate time i'll forcing their
way along, and in many instances were
compelled to stop completely until the
police could throw a few score enthu-
SiaStic politicians from the track and en-
able it to proceed. 1t was not as big an
election as that of last November. but
it meant as much or more to Chicago,
and all Chicago was out at night to see
how it had voted during the day.
A Great Victory.
Late tonight Mr.. Harrison said on the
result: lit has been a great victory. and
J am gratitied at the outcome. Nearly
all the great morning papers of this city
have striven to defeat me by using their
combined influence, and they have
failed. As mayor 1 will falsify
the predictions of my enemies.
l will show them that III my
administration of civic affairs | can be
guided by the best interests of the put
lie. and that other considerations will
have no influence with me. My first
and best efforts will be for the general
good of the city. Then | shall consider
the interests of the Democratic
party. l believe, therefore, that
in advancing and promoting the
welfare of ChicaFe L will at the same
time be advancing and promoting the
welfare of the great party to which l
have the honor to belong. As to what L
intend to do have nothing to say. l
will do my duty to Chicago, but will
make no promises to any one"
Returns from 100 precincts out of a
total oil sos give Harrison plurality of
1866 over AllertOn.
