HARRISON FOR A FOURTH TERM.

Chicago’s Mayor Re-Elected by a Plurality of About 7,000. v Carter If. Ifnrrison hns been re-elected Mayor of Chicago, receiving 146,323 votes to 138,485 for'Stewart, 11,207 for Breckon, Socialist, and 9,989 for Cruice, the Labor candidate, who fell far short of the vote he counted on. The Democratic candidate for City Treasurer was elected by over 10,000 more votes than Mayor Harrison, but Alderman Smulski, the Republican candidate for City Attorney, and F. C. Bender, the Republican candidate for City Clerk, both received small pluralities. The campaign was free from personalities. It was confined to the intelligent discussion of municipal questions. An analysis of the returns on the mayoralty vote by wards shows that while Mayor Harrison lost henvily all through the city from his vote of two years ago, he still had too much of a start for his opponent to overtake him. This loss

was pretty evenly distributed throughout the city, but was the greatest in what is known as the Harlan wards, the Sixth, Seventh and Twenty-fifth, showing that the friends of Mr. Harlan us a rule voted for Mr. Stew-art. Mayors were elected in other IlliiK’s cities ns follows: East St. Louis Silas Cook, Ind. Galesburg George Shorn way, Clt. Moline C. P. Skinner, Itep. Rock Island.... .William McConockle, Kep.
