Chicsgos Big Majority.
CHICAGo, April 3.--The returns from
the municipal election indicate that
the republicans have obtained com.
plete victory, electing George h. Swift,
their candidate for mayor by a plu-
rality close to 10000. Eight hundred
and twenty precincts ont of a total of
a3s give Swift 1a6,615, and Wenter ss,-
900. In addition to the mayor. the re-
publicans have elected their candidates
for assessor, collector, supervisor and
town clerk in all the towns, making a
clean sweep of all the town offices.
OF the aldermen. the republicans
have certainly elected sixteen out of
the total of thirty four, and claim that
they have fully thirty aldermen, but
this is very doubtful, the demor--
claiming at least ten of them. Frank
Lawler, the ex-congressman. who
ran as an independent candidate
in the Nineteenth 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.
| Women Vote In Ohio.
CINCINNATI, April 3.-The women did
not cut much figure in the elections in
the cities of this state yesterday. In
Youngstown the women candidates
were beaten. In Madisonvile Mrs. WV.
Peabody was chosen as a school direct
tor, and at Carthage a woman was also
successful. At Harrison, Norwood, Cam
den and other points women were not
| in it. At Van Vert fifty voted: at Rip
ley, sixty; at Martins Ferry, forty-nine
out of vote of 200; at Mansfield and
at Morrow they turned out in the rain
and refused offers OF precedence by
men. In Cleveland Catherine II. Il.
Avery. the only woman on the repub-
lican school board ticket, was elected.
Nearly 6.OOO women registered, but less
than 5000 voted, probably because of
the inclement weather. Reports from
many towns in northern Ohio show
that women were elected to school
boards. AS rule large republican
gains are reported.
The republicans made clean sweep
in yesterdays municipal election in
Cleveland, electing every candidate by
pluralities from 1000 TO $4,000. Nc
Kisson. republican, for mayor, received
plurality of 7,115. He is the young
est man ever elected mayor of the city,
being only 50 years of age.
Wisconsin Election.
i MILWAUKEE, April 3.-Wisconsin
elected a justice of the supreme court
to succeed Justice Winslow, who was
the candidate of the bar and on a gen.
eral call for reelection. His opponent
was Judge George b. Clementson, also
a candidate on a general call, as no
party nominations were made. While
the contest was therefore nomi-
, nally non-partisan, party lines were
, to some extent drawn, as Winslow
was democrat and Clementson a re-
publican. The vote throughout the
state was light, and the returns indi
. cate the election of Clementson. Re
publicsns have elected mayors in the
