the republicans have obtained com.
plete victory. electing George Il. Swift,

publicans have elected their candidates

or 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 democrats
claiming at least ten of them. Frank
Lawler, the ex-congressman. who
ran as an independent candidate
in the Nineteenth ward, Is elected
by good majority. The proposition
10 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.
