ELECTIONS In WISCONSIN.

Republicans Seems to Have Had q Lit
tie the Best of 1t.
MILWAUKEE, April 9.-The Repub-
licans again carried Milwaukee by an
average plurality for the entire city
ticket of probably 1000. The Demo-
Gratis have made substantial gains in
the council. In the state at large r.
d. Marshall is reelected associate JUS
tice Of the supreme court. In the
Eighth judicial circuit E. w. Helms,
Rep, is probably elected judge, and in
the Thirteenth Warham Parks, Rep,

the four other districts the incumbents
are reelected without opposition.
AT GAINESVILLE the Republicans elected
a city treasurer, three aldermen. three
school commissioners and a street COM
missioner. The Democrats elected two
aldermen and a city attorney. At
West Superior Martin Pattison, the
Republican candidate, and a Mesaba
mine owner, was elected mayor by
about 600 majority. In Lacrosse the
only contest was on license and
it carried by "A big majority.
Around the state.
The results of municipal elections re-
ceived show that the following cities

LATE ELECTIONS
The Chicago Gang Aldermen
We're Beaten by Good
Majorities.
The Republicans Carried Mil
waukee---Other Wisconsin
Returns.
Republican A. P. A. Candidate
Successful in Kansas
City.

CHICAGO, April 9.-Out Of 35 alder
men the Republicans have elected 20,
the Democrats IL, and two Indepen-
dents were chosen. The principal fea-
ture of the election was the effort of
the reform element to down a number
Of the gang aldermen. The reformers
were successful with a majority of the
men they were after, but they failed to
secure the three or four bright particu-
lar stars they desired. Party lines
were not drawn in a number Of the
wards and the reform movement had
much weight.
The fight on the town officers wa in
all of the towns a straight party issue,
and the Republicans were uniformly
successful, carrying all the town offices
by majorities ranging from 1000 to
1000.
Lively In Two Wards.
Full returns from the First and
Nineteenth wards, in which most of
the fighting occurred, show that 26
men were laid out in one way or an
other during the day. The great ma
jority Of these were not injured badly
and none of them fatally. The mar
hurt the worst was Joseph Grigan,
who was shot in the ankle. James
Dawson had his skull fractured with a
crutch. Olaf Henson's nose was
smashed fiat with "a paving stone and
John Wilson's ear was torn off by an
other missile Of the same kind. There
was no fighting outside these two
wards.
Returns from 1875 towns throughout
the state show Republican victories in
about four. ifths of them. In none of
the elections was the vote on a straight
political issue.
