CHICAGO ELECTIONS
Carter Harrison's Plurality Thirty.
Nine Observation-Disclosures Heavy
Losses in Their StrOnghOids

Chicago, April Garter Harrison
was reelected mayor Of Chicago to-
day by a total vote of LAG, ga, against
107, 3H for Zina b. Carter. the republi-
can candidate, and 45,401 for John b.
Altgeld, the independent democratic
candidate. Harrison's plurality is &c.
Clio.
The democrats have elected their
candidates for the town offices in the
north and west towns, the republicans
carrying the south towns, although the
final count may take this from them.
The returns at midnight, however, in
dictate that they have a safe majority.
The vote from the wards shows, as
far as it has been counted, that the
republicans have elected fourteen al
dermen and the democrats nine. The
city council has been composed of for
ty-five democrats and twenty-three re-
publicans, and the democrats will,
without doubt, retain a working ma
jority.
The election was entirely upon local
issues, no elements of national politics
entering into the campaign. The cleo
ton revealed some remarkable changes
in the republican vote, particularly in
the strong republican wards, where
the shifting to the democratic candi-
cate was very marked.
The lection was one of the most quiet
that the city has ever experienced.

| al of the offending ecclesiastic.
