Today has been the most exciting election hold in Chicago for many years , and according to the returns at midnight IlcmpstcadVnshburnc , the repub lican lender of the mayoralty Iflght , Is on top hy a safe plurality. The democrats had n formidable split in their ranks hi the independent candidacy of ox- Mayor Harrison , but the republicans were not any bettor off owing to the "citi zens" movement , headed by Elmer Wash- burn. Both Carter Harrison nud Knnor Wnshhurn , particularly the former , polled a vote amazing to stmipht party politicians. Harrison is said to have had the secret sup port of a largo number of wealthy men of the city who are backing the world's ' fair. His old-time strength with the foreign- speaking population , especially Germans and Doiiomians , also returned to him heav ily. Khnor Washburn's vote , while a surprise to machine politicians , was something of n disappointment to his friends , being con- flncu more closely than was expected to the membership of American societies. The turning point in the contest was to a consid erable extent the Irish-American vote , and this was exerted hi ji _ singular manner. II. Wushburno's wuc .ia the daughter of the president of the Hjb jynlim bank , and it hav- in r been assorted mat certain elements were antagonizing Wnshburno solely because ho was a Catholic , a larco number of Irish- Americans , wearying of the light between the democratic : Jendcrs , rallied to Wnsh- . a'Tho indications' nrinldnigbtnro that nsldo from HeinpstcndiWashburno the other suc cessful candldat re about evenly divided butwocu democrats and republicans , Socialist MorgAliiy vote was unexpectedly inslgniflcmu , nboi | ) ot o-clghth of the number of socialists popularly supposed to bo in the The interest wiown tonight In the returns surpasses. , anything displayed hero before. .

The corridors of the city hall wow thronged to suffocation nnd in all the theaters returns were read from the iitago. The day was marked by a number of bloody affrays. Even bootblacks fought over politics. Frank Oulllo. aged fourteen , was stabbed and sorl- ously Injured by another boy named Clem ents because Galllo abused Clements' candidate , Thomas Maskellvni shot imd fatally wounded at a polling place hy Ben Lupnlo In a political quarrel. In free-for-all llghtnt another point James Scott , colored , was shot and seriously wounded. In the Thirtieth ward J. II. Clark became In volved in n dispute und was fatally brntcn. At one polling place n ticket peddler named Qulnti bud hl tickets snatched uwny by u burly tough , who nlso uluirgod him.

Although without general - oral political significance , the results of the election ore rogardiM with considerable Inter est for two reawns. First , because the citi zens' ' nlllnuca has tickets In the Hold nnd 1 * lighting all the old parties , The citizens' id- llnnco is really n branch of the farmers' nlll- since. It Is organized on the same basis nnd has the Hume objects In view. It Is composed of that clement In cltie.1 which would Join the farmers' alliance but for the constitution of the latter organi zation , which will ndmlt none but farmers , This clement has been organized in the city moitly since the farmers' nlllam-o Inndslldo last Inll , nnd this election Is Its drat oppor tunity of showing Its strciiBth. Much Inter est Is manifested in the remit on this account. The other element In the election which at taches Interest to H Is the fact Unit women , under the Inwsof Kansas , are allowed equal sutfrugo with men In municipal elections. It has been predicted that after one or two ex periences nt the polls the novelty of the thing would disappear nml with it woman's ' inter ests in municipal politic * . This prediction ha ? not been fullllled , On the contrary the women's Interest in politic * and activity nt the polls have Increased with o.ich election , The registration of women at the present election exceeded any former registration. In Kansas City , Kan. , the Increase In the regis tration was Mmnllorthnnlnnnyotherlc'ts ' met ropolitan cities of the state , being only 75. At Topckn the registration lists woruaugmented by about -NX ! new names of women. At Wichita tlio increase wns about 800 , nt Leav- omvorth 2.X ) and at Atcblson m At Kan sas City , Kan. , 1,315 women registered , at Lcavemvorth L',7-1 , in Topeka f. > ,740 , In WIcnitnJ..BOO.imd in Atchison about l.WJO. In Kansas City , Kan. , nil the candidates pro vide carriages to talco women to the polls. About a two-third female vote was cast hero. The women confined their interest in the election to voting , and Inonlva few cases did any of them resort to prnctlonl activity at the polls. This activity was confined ton few citizen alliance fcnialo leaders. The number of negresses that voted in Kansas City , Kiin. , was notable. They marched to the polls with as much , if not moro , pride ns their whlto sisters , nud oxcrclsed their right of suffrage with the satisfaction pecu- cullnr to their race. Dispatches from other largo cities In Kan sas indicate that the vote of the women , compared to the registration , was propor- tlonnto to the male voto. Most ef the women had their tickets prepared at homo or at places of meeting and their presence nt the polls was only long enough to permit thorn to deposit their Dallots. Only n few femnlo candidates appeared on any of the tickets for oflleo higher than membership of the school bo.ird. IJeturns from several cities show that the citizens' ' alliance did not cut much of a figure excepting where it endorsed the democratic nominees. In those plnrcs they were suc cessful In electing the democratic nominees. Abilene is the only city reporting n citizens' alliance victory. Heturns from Leavcnworth show that the cntlro republican ticket is elected , tlio first republican victory for six years in that vicinity. At Lawrence the re publicans were nlso successful. They elected their cntlro ticket with the exception of two members of the council elected by the citi zens' alliance. At Clay Center the repub licans defeated the citizens' alliance , and nt Wichita the democrats carried everything. Atehlsun elects republicanofllccrs and Olatho n mixed set of ofllcers , with the republicans in control. At Ottawa nil parties combined against the republicans , but the latter were successful.
