Kansas Gives Soma Old Thus Majorities
for the Grand Old Farty-The Alh

Chicauo, April 7. To-ilay haa
heen the most exciting election
held in Chicago for many years
and according to the 'returns at
midnight Hempstead Washburn,
republican, is leader in the mayor
alty tight by aeafe Dlurality.
The I'euiocrata had a formidable
split io Uiwi-jBkijbYthelrideperi"-
aent candidacy of ex-mayor Har
rison, but the republicans were
not better otf owing to a citizens
movement, led by Llmer Wash
burn. Both Carter Harrison and
Elmer Washburn, particularly the
former, polled a vote amazing to
party politicians. 11 rrison is Baid

large number of the wealthy men
of the city, who are backing the
world siair. Ilisold-tiine strength
with the foreign speaking jopulace
esjH'cialty IJermane and Hohem-
i.ms, also returned to him beavilv
Klnier Washburn's vote, while a
surprise to machine politicians,
was something of a disappoint
ment to his friends, being confined
more closely than was expected to
the members of American pocie
lies. The turning miint in the
contract was to a considerable ex
tent the Irihh-Ainencan vote.
The day was marked bv a nam
her of blood v atfravs. Even the
bootblacks fought over politics.
Frank (Jallio, aged M, was stabbed

boy named Clements, because
l.allio abused Clemeiits'candidate.
Thomas Haskell was shot and

ISACK IN THE KAMvS.
Kansas Gives Home Old-Time
Kopuliltrau Majorities.
Kansas City, April 7. Elec
tions were held in Kansas to-day
in all cities of lir-st and second
classes. Altho.igh without gen
eral political signilicance, the
results of the election is regarded
with considerable interest for two
reasons.
First, because the citizens' alli
ance has tickets in the field and is
lighting all other parties. The
citizens' alliance is really a
branch of the farmers' alliance.
It is composed of that element in
cities, which would join the farm
ers' alliance, but for the f act that
the constitution of the latter or
ganization will admit none but
farmers. The other element in
the election which attaches inter
est to it is a fact that women, un
der the laws ol Kansas, are
allowed equal sull'rage with men in
municipal elections.
Women's interest in polities and
activity at the polls has increased
with each election. The registra
tion of women at the present elec
tion exceeded any former registra
tion. Women confined their
interest in the election to voting
and only in a few cases did any of
them resort to practical activity at
the polls. This activity was con
lined lo a few citizens' alliance
female leaders. The number of
negresses that voted in Kansas
City, Kansas, was notable. They
marched to tho polls with as much
if not more pride as their white
sistprs, and exercised their rights
of sull'rage with i-atisfac'ior. pecu
liar to tiieir race. Dispatches from
other large cities of Kansas indi
cate that the vote of women com
pared to the registration was pro
portionate to the male vote. .Most
of the women had their tickets
prepared at home or at places of
meeting, and their presence at the
polls was only long enough to
permit them to deposit their
ballots.
Keturns from several cities
show tint the citizens' alliance
did not cut much of a figure, ex
cepting where it endorsed the
democratic nominees. In those
places they were successful in
electing the democratic nominees.
Adeline is the only city reporting
a citizens' alliance victory. Ke
turns from Leavenworth show
that the entirs republican ticket is
elecled. This is the first republi
can victory for mx years in' that
vicinity. At I.avience the repub
licans w ere alsj successful. They
elected their full ticket with . the
exception of two members of the
council, w Inch were elected bv the
citizens' alliance. AtClav Center,
the republicans defeated 'the citi
zens' alliance, and at Wichita the
democrats tarried everything.
Atchison elects republican olficers,
and Olathea mixed set of officers,
with the republicans in control.
At Ottawa all parties combined
against the republicans, but the
lat'er were successful.
Some Old Time Majorities.
O.m.mia, April 7. All over Ne
braska to-day the municipal elec
tions were held under the new
law, which embraces the Austra
lian plan of voting. Reports from
nearly every city and village in
the state indicate that the law is
one of the best ever devised. Ti e
returns so far show a general re
sumption of power by the republi
cans wneie; party lines were
drawn.
