In all, there are about 100 of the

obtain the necessaries of life.
A party of two bucks and ten
squaws struggled into Alturas. the

food, but the whites were not chart

Indians that they stripped the carcass

Chicago. April 6.-With the magic OF
his famous fathers name. aided by the
independent split in the regular Re
publican ranks and the fiocking of the
discontinued laboring class to the
standard of silver Democracy. Carter
Henry Harrison was elected mayor of
Chicago today, and a great Democratic
. triumph was recorded. The 1000 plu-
rality of Mckinley over BRYAN was
turned into a Democratic plurality of
about $4,000 over Judge Nathaniel C.
! Sears, the machine Republican candi-
date for mayor.
The almost complete mayoralty re-
turns show that Harrison polled a plu-
rality of about $4,000 over the next best
man, Alderman John NJ Harlan, a
Republican who ran on the Citizens
ticket by himself
The figures also indicate that the next
mayor polled a small majority over all
the three other principal candidates

whose ticket was called Business Ad-
ministration of Municipal Affairs" He
is gold Democrat, but his boosted
strength among the independent men
of both parties dwindled down to about
$1,000 total vote. Harrison's total vote
is about 100000, less than 5000 under
the vote polled by William J. Bryan.
The Republican total vote is about
$1,000. while Mckinley polled 2OO,747
votes in November.
The rest Of the city ticketAattorney
treasurer and clerk, all the local tick-
cts, and a large majority of the COM
mon council have gone Democratic on
the tidal wave. with the possible excep-
ton of the Hyde Park town ticket.
Harrison or Harlan carried every ward
in the city, and the Republican ma
chine was repudiated everywhere.
There is really nothing left-of the
Republican party to console itself with
except a few aldermen whose records
were good. and who happened to live in
wards that are usually Republican. The
argument of the Republicans that if
Hesing and Harlan, the two independ-
ents. had withdrawn, Judge Sears
would have won does not hold good,
when it is shown that Harrison has a
clear majority over all three. The other
city tickets in the field cut no figure at

THE TRUMP CARD.

The Dean company's trump card was
in presenting the matter to its patrons
in such light that the investment
was allowed to remain. A man in
vesting $3.50, for instance, in a Febru-
airy wheat deal, would be notified along
in March that the investment had
earned 20 per cent and that he could
then draw out the capital and profit.
He would be invited, however to go
into another deal. and in nearly every
instance the patron would let the
profit accrue and so in for another
plunge. OF course the money was
paid back occasionally. but even then
in most cases the cash came back in
a very short time. so it is safe to say
that of the entire amount that has
been paid into the company since the
local Office was opened the bulk of it
remains in the firms hands still, the
profits being allowed to accrue.
