The Republicans Made Almost a Clean
 Sweep of the Chicago Town oGces and
 Msde Gains In Kansas as--PoIiticlan Killed
 In St. Louis
 CHICAGO, April s.-Latest returns from the municipal election indicate that the Republicans have obtained a complete vic tory, eleciing George B. Swift their can didate for mayor, by plurality close to 40. 900. Eight hundred and twenty pro cincts out of total of 93S give Swift 126,- 6l5 and Wenter Ss, GOO.
 In addition to the mayor the Republic ans have. the returns indicate, elected their candidates for assessor, collector, sn- pervisor and town clerk In all tho towns, making a clean sweep of all the town offices Or the aldermen the Republicans have certainly elected l6 out of tho 34, and claim that they have fully 30 aldermen, but this is very doubtful, the Democrats claiming at least ten of them. Frank Law Ter, the ex-oongrossmnn. who rap as m in- dependent in the Nineteenth, is elected by a good majority.
 The proposition to rst tho police and .ll other oity officials under civil service rules and extend the mayoralty term to four years has undoubtedly been carried by n majority very close to that obtained by Swift The returns on this vote are com ing in very slowly, but the vote as far as it has been shown is about the same pro portion as that party's vote for mayor.
 Reform seems to have been the spirit of balloting. All persons concerned say that the election was tho most orderly ever known in Chicago. Tho policemen de- tailed to guard the polling places had rather an easy day of it. In a flow in- stances factions had differences, but they were settled out of court in the greater number of cases. By common consent the day was about as quiet as ordinary Sundays.
 In the stockyards district, the scene of many bloody election fights and riots in the past, there was hardly n traco of ex- citement. A serious shooting affair at 7e Oak street, in the Twenty-third ward, resulted from an election wager, but was not regarded as an "eloction day feature"
