Republican, for Supreme Jseice-ss.
Louis Puts . Colored Man Among the
City Dads-Other Election Figures.
CHICAGO, April 3-The municipal CAM
paign in this city closed with an election
rarely surpassed for the intense interest
taken in it by the people and the press.
The result is, as to mayor, very decisive
victory for the Republican candidate.
George B. Swift. The other two impor.
tant issues of the fight were the council
and the civil service reform law. This
law, which provides the merit system for
all appointive offices in cities and
towns, has to be adopted by a popular
vote in each city before it can be law in
said city. There seems no doubt Of its
adoption here by a good majority.
Both Parties for the Reform.
The law vas part of the platforms OF
both parties. As to the rest, returns at
hand at this writing indicate
that the Republicans have obtained a
complete victory, clecting Swift for mayor
by a plurality close to &C, 600, so precincts
out of a total of 9SS giving Swift 1a6.6l5
and Wcnter $500 In addition to mayor
the Republicans have returns indicating

sor, collector. supervisor and town clerk,
in all the towns, making a clean swept
of all the town offices. OF alderman, the
Republicans have certainly elected sixteen
out of a total of thirty-four, and claim that
they have fully thirty aldermen, but this
is very doubtful the Democrats claim
ing at least ten of them.
Frank Lawler q City Dad Again.
Frank Lawler, the ex-congressman,
who ran as an independent in the Nine
teenth ward, is elected by a good majority.
The proposition to put the police and all
other city officials under civil service rules
and extend the mayOralty term to four
years has undoubtedly been carried by
majority very close to that obtained by
Swift. Returns on this vote are coming
in very slowly. bat the vote, as far as it
has been shown, is in the same proper
tions as that of the party vote for mayor.
At the last mayoralty election, when
Mayor Hopkins was elected to fill the un.
expired term OF Mayor Harrison, the
Democratic plurality was l,2.O. AT the
last state election in the same wards the
plurality of Wulff, the Republican candi-
date for state treasurer, over Claggett,
Democrat, was II Cos.

senatorial apportionment law Of 1895.
The opinion contains 10000 words and is
by Justice Carter. He states that legis-
lative power is vested in the general as
sembly. Whether the power to apportion
the state into senatorial districts IS
deemed legislative or not it is expressly
vested in the Legislative department by
the constitution Of the state and must SO
remain.
The opinion says near the close: "As
much as the disI csition of the legislative
majority to obtain undue partisan adj
vantage BY senatorial appointments is
to be deprecated, the evil cannot be REM
edied BY the courts, and if it Were a ques-
ton upon legal principles and decided
cases it is gravely doubtful whether the
act Of 1s9S could te by the courts held UNI
cons titutional or not; the contempora-
neous construction by the legislature, &C.
guessed in by the other departments and
by the people for nearly q quarter of .
century, would be entitled to great weight
In sustaining the validity of the statute.
The definite Limitations fixed by
the constitution show an intention to
circmnscribe the legislative discretion,
but not to take it away altogether"
An opinion was also announced in the
case of Sanner against Patton, appealed
from Shelby county. twenty-five bal
lots upon which the Eame of a candidate
had been written were thrown out by
judges OF election, and sustained by tho
lower courts. The supreme court holds
the voter has legal right to write the
name OF the candidate upon the ballot,
and such ballot must be counted.

WORSE THAN A FIASCO.

Not two years have elapsed since
Grover Cleveland and William l.. Will
son started out to reform the revenues
of the country. They have accom-
plished their object-reformed them
out of sight. But that is not all. If
it were, the people might forget and
forgive. Everybody has suffered
That which has always been sacredly
guarded-the financial credit of the
Nation-has been impaired to degree
unknown since the days of James
Buchanan. Financiers predict that
the Government will be compelled to
suspend gold payments. 1t is shown
that all the great financial institutions
of the country are apprehensive of
danger. Merchants are transacting a
hand to- mouth business. No one has
any confidence in the ability of the
Administration to even suggest
remedy. Yet, we meet men every day
who profess to be Democrats and who
actually believe that all our financial
woes are the result of the opposition
of certain members of Congress TO the
visionary schemes OF the theorists.

A CONTRAST.

We sometimes hear persons remark
that the present tariff law is as near
perfection as it is possible to make it.
The difference between 1t and the Nc
Kinley law. briefly stated, is that the
one afforded an abundance of revenue,
gave employment to all the people at
living wages, supplied market fol
the surplus products of farmers at
good prices. and made the credit Of
the Nation superior that of any
country in the world The other has
failed in every particular. No one
can truthfully point TO an American
who has been benefited by it. Dis
trust has marked its pathway. The
future is full of foreboding. Conf
dence is gone. Business is paralyzed.
Its authors are execrated.
