MAYOR HARRISON OF CHICAGO
The Entire Democratic City Ticket
Elected.
ESTIMATED 10000 MAJORITY
Mrs. Potter, Independent Candidate fof
Mayor of Kansas City, Makes
Poor Run.

Associated Press.
Chicago, April 4.-Carter H. Harrison
is elected mayor of Chicago by 10000
plurality over Samuel Wallerton. can
didate on the citizens ticket. The en-
tire democratic ticket is elected by
about the same plurality. Cregier on
the labor ticket did not receive three
thousand votes. The democrats carried
the West and South town tickets but
the republicans saved the North town.
Returns are coming in slowly but the
chances are that the successful alder
men are about equally divided.
Never in the history of Chicago has
such interest been shown in any munic-'
ipal election as in that which cameoff
today. The campaign on both sides has
been conducted with great bitterness.
1t was an open contenst Of republicans
and citizens against Harrison, more
against him as an individual than as a
representative of a political faction.
The day was a republican day, the
weather being perfect Long before the
polls were opened early in the morning,
we're lines of men waiting chance to
cast their ballot and by 0 o'clock there
were great crowds of men at each poll
ing place BY noon seventy per cent. of
the registered votes had been cast. The
general feeling during the day seemd
in favor of Harrison's chancesand what
betting was done was in his favor. The
Australian ballot, against which Har-
ison's popularity had never before been
measured, was inclined to make the
loudest of his supporters a trifie eau
tious, and not large amount of bet
ting was done at any figure. The Ger
man population which it was confident
ly expected would go almost solidly
against Harrison, proved disappoint-
nnent to both parties 1t seemed to have
split between the two candidates.
AT 5 o'clock, an hour after the polls
had closed, crowds began to congregate
in front of the newspaper offices to
await the returns. 1t was not as big an
election asst hat of last November, but
it meant as much or more to Chicago,
and all Chicago was out tonight to see
how it went.
