FARLEY WINS IN cLEvBLAsD.



Cleveland, o., April 3.-After an
and intensity, John H. Farley, the
Democratic candidate, was today
elected mayor by a plurality of 1000
over his opponent, Robert L. McKis-
son, the Republican nominee and pres
ent mayor.
National interest attached to the
election owing to the fact that McKis-
son led the opposition in the Legisla-
ture to the candidacy of Marcus A.
Hanna to the United States Senate.
He came within three votes of securing
the election of United States Senator
himself. The Hanna Republicans were
therefore unit against McKisson.
In addition TO the Hanna mems OPP
position McKisson's administration
was not a success. The people in the
good citizen movement were unani-
mously opposed to McKisson. This
McKisson recognized and endeavored
to meet by organizing the "Tender-
loin" and kindred elements.
He had back Of him a perfect
machine. Half the police force and
considerable part of the firemen had
been excused from duty for weeks in
order to campaign for McKisson. Citi-
zens were naturalized by the thousands
during the last few weeks, and there
are many evidences of colonization.
The Foraker Bushnell faction is al
legged TO have contributed $25, 900 to
McKisson's campaign in order to retain
control of the State organization.
The town tonight is wild over the
defeat of McKisson. There are thous-
ands of persons parading the downtown
streets.
The rest of the Republican ticket was
elected.
