CARTER II. HARRISON was reelected
mayor OF Chicago for the fourth time
last week, but his plurality was so small
as TO indicate that he is about at the
end of his rope. Six years ago he wen,
in by SO 900, four years ago by 1000
two years ago by $4,000, and now his
plurality is cut down to something over
1900. His opponent Graneme Stewart
would have been elected, had it not beer
for the fact that he was hampered by
the support Of William Lorimer and
Judged Hauecy. The people do not love
Lorimer in Chicago.
