CHICAGO , April " . 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

KAXSAS Cm , Mo. , April" . Klectlons were
hold in Kansas today In all cities of the Jlrst
nnd second classes. 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.
Returns from Kansas City , Kan. , nro very
slow , but point to tlio election of T. F. rinn-
uan ( rep ) for mayor with the council about
evenly divided.
