 Chicago, April 2.-The entire repub- lican ticket, with the exception of a few isolated aldermen, was elected to- day.
 George B. Swift's plurality for mayor approximates 45,OOO. This is taken from incomplete police returns.
 At 10 o'clock tonight S1O precincts, out of 920, returned Swift 129,764 votes; Wenter, dem., 9O,5S1, and Holmes, pop, 9,S76.
 The council will stand overwhelm- ingly republican. "Hinkey Dinck' McKenna, dem. was defeated by the republicans for alderman in the First ward a democratic stronghold by 400 votes. In the Nineteenth ward ex- Congressman Frank Lawler, independ- ent democrat, for alderman, appears to have the whip hand. Alderman McGil- len, Mayor Hopkins right bower is behind in the Twenty-frst ward and the only democratic survivors of the aldermanic cyclone from the present outlook are Stuckert of the Sixth and Bennett of the Eighth.
 The republicans are giving them selves up to the delirium of victory and crowds of thousand in body marched through the city hall this evening with horns ands drums. The city voted by a majority estimated at 40,000 to place itself under the opera tions of the civil service law, which will apply to every department of the city , government.
 Roy O. West, rep, for city attorney, ran several hundred behind his ticket, but was elected by handsome major ity. James R. B. Van Cleave for city clerk, Adam Wolfe for city treasurer and c. G. Nicely for circuit judge on the republican ticket were elected by majoritie5 equal to Swift's.
 Among the successful candidates for aldermanic honors is the notorious 'Bucl1" Mccarthy of the Twenty ninth ward. Mccarthy was member of the county board which was broken up in 1886 by the conviction of several of its members for boodling, including Me Carthy himself. This Is McCarthy's first appearance in public since his con- viction.
 In the Twenty-third ward, where the aldermanic fight was particularly bit ter, John Dalton, a republican challeng- CT, shot and fatally wounded his cousin, Patrick Dalton, outside a polling place.
 Morris Williams was standing in the door of Willis Woodson's saloon on Green street, this afternoon when some one came up behind him and saying "You will vote for Weter, will you?' shot him in the leg,
 Municipal and township elections were held through the state to-day. Reports at late hour indicate republi- can victory in almost every city and town. St. Louis, April 2.-To-day's munich pal election turned all the city offices, l but two, over to the republicans. Dem | ocrats are stupefed with the result and republicans are jubilant Of the twen- ty-eight members of the house of dele | gates chosen two, ,democras are elected 1 the remainder being republicans. Six | republicans at large were elected to | the city council. which will now be | unanimously republican, as seven re- | publicans are the hold-over members. l The average republican majority in | a total vote of 5S,OO0 is 12,OOO. Demo- cratic indifference contributed to this | result. Rows were numerous and many ar rests were made. George Fullgraft, a democratic ward-worker, was shot in the beast by Henry Henderson, col ored republican challenger. at a poll ing place. Frank Campbell, demo- cratic judge of election, was arrested for intimidating voters. Tn his pockets 150 false ballots were found.
