Chicago, April 2.--At midnight the
returns from bhe election indicate the
Republicans obtained a complete VIC
tory, electing George B. Swift, their
candidate for mayor by a plurality
cloNe to 10000. Eight hundred and
twenty pg'ecncits out of q total of 93S
give Swift 1886. and Wenter $4,000.
In addition to the mayor, the Republi-
cans, as indicated by the returns,
have elected their candidates for as
SCISSOR, collector, supervisors, town
clerk, lin all the towns. making a clean
sweep of all the town offices and al
dermen. The Republicans have GER
tainly elected slxeen out Of a total
of "a, and claim that they have 80
aldermen, but this is doubtful, the
Democrats claiming at least ten of
them. CONGRESSMAN Frank Law
Ter, who ran as an independent In the
18th ward, is elected by good major
ity. The proposition Ito put the police
and all other city officials under civil
service rules and extend the mayoralty
term to four years, has undoubtedly
rarried by majority very close to
that obtained by SwifS.

common sense and will make his mark in
the senate.
the only republican sent to the senate from
North Carolina In over twenty years, is also
"a Young man. He Is still under Az and has
taken an active part in every campaign in his
state since he was Is years old. He Is a man
of real ability and one of the best stump

NOTABLE REPUBLICANS.
None of the new republican senators has
played a larger part in affairs than Stephen
b. Elkins of West Virginia, who in twenty
years has amassed a fortune reckoned at as
many millions. But Senator Elkins IS
much more than a mere money getter. In
his earlier years he was a lawyer and a
good one, too, and all his life he has been
a constant reader of books. He reads Latin,
Greek and Hebrew, and, though one of the
busiest of men, finds time to keep up MS
acquaintance with the best modern authors.
He began his public career in 1873 as a
delegate in congress from New Mexico, and
later was for many years the intimate
friend and most trusted lieutenant OF the
late James G.. Blaine. He helped to nomi-
nate Blaine in 1884. and afterward managed
his campaign for the presidency. In 1883
he was one Of the men who brought about
the nomination Of Harrison, who later made
him a member Of the cabinet. Senator

He is about six feet In height,
broad shouldered and well proportional.
He has a strong face, always clean
shaven, and gives one at a glance the i'm
preston of great physical strength and men
tai activity. He has matured and well
defined views on all public questions, and,
an attractive and forceful orator, can always
defend them with vigor and skill.
Thomas f.. Carter. the new senator from
Montana, in his forty years OF life has
managed to gain and hold a large share Of
public attention. Carter is an Ohio man by
birth and has thus far enjoyed the Ohio
mans proverbial luck in politics. AS chair
man of the republican national committee
In 1892 he managed Harrlson's second cam
paign for the presidency. Before that he
had been a delegate in congress and COM
missioner of the general land Office. Sena-
tor Carter, whose father was an 1rishman
from County Roscommon, Is short and in
clined to be stout. His cheeks are ruddy.
The sides Of his face are smooth-shaven but
a funny tuft Of whiskers riots on his chin.
He is fond of wearing a broad, white SOM
hrero. When he talks, his eyes twinkle
and he is given to witty remarks. He Is
counted one OF the ablest lawyers in the
northwest.

national attention. He is a handsome man

hundred words Of English. Watson went
among these people and dressed as they did.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-There will be
eighty eight senators and 356 representatives
in the Fifty-fourth congress, upon the political
action of which will depend in large measure
the result of the presidential election OF 1896.
In the senate a handful Of p%opuli9ts will hold
the balance of power, but in the house the
republicans will have an overwhelming ma
jority. Both branches will contain a quite
unusual number of new men.
Among the new members OF the senate per-
haps the most striking and picturesque figure
will be Ben r. Tillman of South Carolina, a
populist. A well-to-do planter still on the
sunny side of so, he has been in public life
less than ten years, but in that time has
shattered and broken the office-holding arls'
tocracy of his state and won national proml-
nence as a political leader of force and shrewd-
ness. Than Tillman the senate will have no
more daring or effective debater during the
next six years. His favorlte topics are the
mental pronigacy of President Cleveland, the
inlquity of banks, railroads and other cor
porations. the cowardice OF the press, the mar
row s~ophistry of the bar, the arrogance OF the
federal courts, the Righteousness OF free silver
and the crying wrongs of the plain farmer.
He declares that Mr.. Cleveland should have
been impeached for the part he played in the
fight against free silver, and declares an IN
tention to vote in the senate for a committee
to investigate the presidents connection with
last summers sale Of bonds.
Marion Butler, the new populist senator
from North Carolina, has just turned ~, ana
for several years to come will be the youngest
man in the senate. Since 1888 he has been
the popullst leader in his state and in a dozen
hard fought battles has proved his shrewdness
and sagacity as a political strategist. A
quiet, unassuming young man. with a pallid,
thoughtful face, he has been by turns store
keeper. editor, lawyer and politician, and has
won success In each role. Butler IS not an

graduate of West Point and boasts a gallant
record as a soldier, but mas never pelore heiu

George w. Mcbride, the new republican
senator from Oregon, is a native of that state
and has just turned 40. He is sturdy, Dig
framed and hearty. He has held several
offices in Oregon and is one OF the most popu-
lar republicans on the Pacific coast.
A CAREER FULL OF VIClSSlTUDES.
Few men encounter experiences more
dramatic than an episode in the life OF Lucien
Baker. the new senator from Kansas. Dan
Anthony, editor of the Leavenworth Times,
has long ben in the habit of printing very
strong pieces in his paper about people ne
does not like. A man named Thurston mad
killed Anthony's former friend, w. w. En-
bree. Both men lived in Leavenworth ana
public feeling ran high. Lucien Baker,
counted one Of the rising lawyers OF the
state, defended Thurston and secured MS
acGuittal. Anthony, through his paper, kept
up an unceasing war on Thurston and
horrded him to desperation. One day in
1880 Thurston met Anthony on the street In
Leavenworth and attempted to shoot him:
The bullet went wide of its mark and lodged
in the body of Lucien Baker, who was pass
ing. His life hung by a thread for weeks
and was often despairsd Of, but care and a
| strong constitution finally saved him. His
! first remark on recovering consciousness was
| that he wished Dan Anthony would at
tack better T1aTKSHen. ne. is as sNTOHS as
ever now and since his recovery has felt no
inconvenience from the bullet fired by the
man he had saved from the gallows.
| Thurston was convicted and sent to the peni-
Tertiary for a long term of years, but was
afterward pardoned. Senator Baker is one
Of the leaders of the Kansas bar. He is
smcoth-faced, tall, straight and slender.
When chosen senator he was serving a term
in the Kansas state senate.
John M. Thurston, the new republican
senator from Nebraska, has had a career
full of dramatic vicissitudes. When he began
the study of law he was very poor. and
after he had gained admission to the bar
and gone out to Omaha to begin practice his
affairs went so badly that he finally gave up
and went to Chicago and hired out as a
hack driver. That was in 1868, and about
his first experience in his new sphere of
action was to carry the delegates to the re-
publican national convention from the various
depots and hotels to and from the convention
hall. Just about twenty years later, in Chi
cago, he presided over a national convention,
the convention that nominated President
Harrison, for he found without delay that he
was a worse failure as a hack driver than as
a lawyer, and so went back to Omaha and
his musty law books again, and for years
now he has been general solicitor of the
Union Pacific railroad. He ranks among the
foremost orators of the west.
Horace Chiffon of Texas, Thomas S. Martin
of Virginia and Augustus o. Bacon of
Georgia are the most notable of the new
senator's on the democratic side. Senator
| Chiffon, who is OH the neither side of so,
studied law while working at the printers
case and has made a fortune at the bar.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any
