EVE OF ELECTION.
Result of Chicago Contest Depends on
Afgeld.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The vote to be
polled by John P. Altgeld in the Mayor
atty election tomorrow is admitted
by all parties to be a most undecided
factor, and yet it is the thing upon
which all three candidates Harrison
CD, Carter CR) and Altgeld q. d.
are basing their hopes of final success.
The Altgeld men say that their candi-
date, who is standing upon the Chicago
platform, Will secure all the straight
silver Democratic vote and will GER
tainly be elected. They allow him No.,
600 votes
In the headquarters OF the Harrison
faction tonight there is the greatest
confidence. They say that there is not
the slightest doubt of the Mayors re-
election. They give him 100000 votes,
las against 100000 for Garter and 10000
for Altgeld. In the Republican camp
the estimate is: Carter, $50 900; Harri-
son, 10000, and Altgeld, $4,000 They
lclaim that Altgeld will draw enough
votes from Harrison to elect Carter
beyond doubt. The Democrats agree
that there will be something OF
detection in the Harrison ranks in view
| of 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 Alt
geld.
The sober discussion is, however,
lin all the headquarters that there has
been seldom, if ever, an election in
Chicago so difficult TO forecast with
accuracy Not one of the parties has
made an attempt TO poll the votes prior
to election, and their estimates are for
the most part guesswork.
The Republicans are expecting trou-
