ALL GUESSING In CHICAGO
The PartiSans of Each Candidate for
Mayor Claim Victory.
No Attempt at Polling the Votes Prior to
Election Made by Any One of the
Parties-TroubIe Expectedat
the Polls in Two Wards.

Chicago. April 3.-The vote to be polled
by John p. Altgeld in the Mayoralty cleo
tiOn tomorrow is admitted by all parties
to be most undecided factor and yet L
is thing upon which all three candi-
dates-HarrisOn OemocraO. Carter (Re-
publican). and Altgeld independent Dem
OcraU-are basing their hopes OF final sue
cess. The AItgeld men say their candi-
date. who is standing upon the Chicago
platform, will secure all the straight sill
yer Democratic vote, and will certainly
be elected. They allow him 10000 votes.
In the headquarters of the Harrison
faction tonight there is the greatest con-
fidence. They say that there is not the
slightest doubt of the Mayors reelection.
They give MIN 10000 votes, as against
100000 for Carter and $1,000 for Altgeld.
IN the Republican camp the estimate is
Garter, 10000; Harrison 10000. and Alt
geld, 5000. They claim Altgeld will draw
enough votes from Harrison to elect Car
ter beyond a doubt. The Democrats agree
that there will be something of a defec-
tiOn from the Harrison ranks in favor Cf
Altgeld, but say that the votes 10 come
to Harrison from the Republican ranks
will more than offset whatever he will
lose by the candidacy Of Altgeld.
The sober admission Is. however, in all
of the headquarters, that there mas sell
dom been an election in Chicago 50 diff
cult to forecast with accuracy as this
one. Not one of the parties has made an
attempt to poll the votes prior 10 election,
and their estimates are for the most part
guess work.
1t is admitted on all sides that tie size
of the Altgeld vote is what will determine
the result. If he secures close 20 100. 600
votes ii means the election of Carter, the
Republican candidate If he has under
40,0O0-and the estimates run all the way
between the figures-Harrison VIII be
elected. If Altgeld has much over 100, 900
he is likely TO be elected, but the major
ity of politicians in both the Democratic
and Republican ranks say that they have
little fear OF his election.
The Republicans are expecting trouble
at the polls tomorrow IN several wards
particularly in the First and Eighteenth.
They say the Democrats have "coionized"
extensively, that they know the colon
lists" and under no circumstances will
they be permitted 10 vote. The Demo-
Gratis in the wards mentioned deny any
Illegal work, and say every Democrat
who comes 10 the polls shall cast his bal
lot

MAYOR M'KIssoN's DEFEAT.
Reasons for His soyerthrow-His Defiance
of Senator Hanna.

Special 70 TIE Pest
Cleveland. Ohio. April s.-The most ex-
citing political contest ever Waged ia
this city terminated tonight IN the
Triumphant election of John II. Farley
tDemccraO over Robert T.. MeKisson (Re-
pubiieanj for Mayor. The election to-day
was marked by half a dozen arrests and
by numerous disturbances in the close
wards Charges and counter-charges OF
corruption were made throughout the
campaign. Party lines were entirely OBJ
liberated. thousands OF Republicans voJ-
ing for Mr.. Farley, the Democratic can
dldate. and thousands Of Democrats vot-
ing for Mayor McKisson. The balance
of the Democratic ticket went down In
defeat by small pIuyalities.
Senator Hanna's friends worked openly
for the defeat Of Mayor McKisson, whom
they regarded and denounced as a po-
Iitical traitor by reason OF his candidacy
for the United States Senate a year ago
last winter in opposition TO Hanna, VINO
had previously secured the Endorsement
o. the Republican Party In this State.
The candidacy Of Mayor McKisson, back
ed By few Republicans in conjunction
with the Democrats in the Ohio General
Assembly. has since placed the Mayor In
bad repute m this State. Many Repub-
leans leaders took the stump against the
Mayor. declaring him to be a political
OUtCast and an enemy 10 the Republican
Party His defeat to-day was brought
about by Republican votes.
Although defeated, Mayer McKisson
controls a powerful party organization,
which his friends threaten will be directed
against the national administration when
il comes to the selection Of ohio's dele
gates TO the Republican National Conven-
ton Of 1890 1t is said that an amissary
Of the Mayor waited on Senator Hanna
a few weeks ago, warning him that the
penalty of his failure to come 10 the sup
port Of the Republican ticket would be
split delegation in the National Conven-
ton from Ohio. That this threat had 10
effect on Mr.. Hanna is seen by the Ie-
suit.
Farley won on the issue of no machine
politics and on the pledge that he would
give the city a clean administration free
from the stain of machine methods. on

AGuISlLD0'S STAR DECLINING.
The Insursent Army Defeated. Dis
couraged. aud Scattered.

The following cablegram was received
az the War Department yesterday:
Manila. April 3, 1889.
Adjutant General. Washington:
Present Indications denote insurgent
government in perilous condition; its
army defeated. discouraged and scat
tered. Insurgents returning TO their
homes in cities and villages between
here and points north of Malolos,
which cur rsconnoitering parties have
reached, and desire protection Of
Americans. News from Yisayan Isl
ands more encouraging every day.
OTIS.
War Department officials were pleased
by the cheering dispatch from Gen Otis
received yesterday. II contains a great
deal Of eneoura cement to them and those
who know Gen. otis well say he is not a
man to take a Toseate view of a situa-
tiOn unless there is reason for it, 1t is
argued al .he department that the FIJI
pinOs have never been used 10 the kind
OF warfare that the Americans have given
them. and for that reason they are now
aware that II will be- impossible for them
10 accomplish anything by fighting While
there is disappointment because the move
ment for the capture Of a large force of
the FilipinOs was net successful. ii is be-
lieved The pressing of the insurgents
steadily toward the north, capturing their
capital and driving them from place to
place. has had very discoUraging effect
upon the natives who have been follow
ing Aguinaldo.
1t is evident by the reference which
Gen. Cts makes to reconnoitering Uar-
ties tEat he is having the country thor
oughiy covered, and that the information
which they are giving him is the basis OF
the dispatch received yesterday. Ii is be-
ieved that ceserticns viii soon depIete
the army of Aguindldo TO little or moth
ing. II would not take long for an army
Of the kind he has gathered TO melt away
and disappear in the mountains and jun
g.es Of LuZon.
That portion of The dispatch relating 10
the Nisayans refers to the operations of
which IloilO is the base. The group in
cludes Panay, BohOl, Cebu, Negros, and
others of less Importance in the same vi
cinity. The rebellion against United
States authority was net very serious in
these islands, being stirred up by ennis
saries of Aguinaldo ar Iloilo The con-
stant defeat of Aguinaldo'5 forces north
of Manila has no doubt had a depressing
effect upon other insurrectiOnists.
