CHICAGO ELECTION
TO-MORROW.
Most Interesting Campaigns
in the History of
The City.
Fire Tickets are In the Field, Which
Means That one Hundred and
Seventy-five Candidates
are Contesting for
the 85 Positions
to be Filled.
(Special to the Arotts.)
Chicago, 111., April 6 One of th'
most interesting municipal campaigns
in the history of Chicago came to n
close today. Though the election to
morrow is only for members of tin
hoard of aldermen, the contest has ex
cited as lively an interest among the
voters - in years when a mayor and
utiier eity officials have been elected.
Five Jif-kets are in the field, which
means that one hnndred and seventy
live candidates are contesting lor th
33 positions to be filled.
The agitation for Sunday closing ol
s loons and other measures ot reform
3i chiefly responsible tor the extra
rt;.rry interest -manifested in th
ftlcfion It is believed that a bette:
condition of" things can be brought on
ly i.y sending better men to the council
eham ifr and as a consequence ihe re-Tor-n
element is working with might
and main far the election of men with
clean records, whiie the protessional
politicians and others whose interests
are opposed to relorm are workii g
equally bard to return representative
of their choice.
The Republicans and Democrats ar(
practically agreed upon their respec
tive platforms. There is no issue ex
cept personal choice between them.
The Proh:::tionists seek to get in po
litical co r t so they can close tin
aloons, while the Independent Leag
uers promise a number ot semi-socialist
reforms.
The strongest plea of the Independ
leaguars to the voters is to emancipate
themselves from professional politi
cians. The Socialists purpose to es
tablish Mnicipal ownership of public
mtilities, the jetxpejiditnre of taxes to
-turniah employment to the unemploy
ed, indnstrial schools and a general re
lorm of the entire municipality.
Tt is -conceded thai the Republicans
or Tem.crRts v4Jl ejert nearly it not
quite all of the aldermen, although re
cent agitation has introduced an ele
ment of doubt as to the ability of their
candidates to defeat the Socialists in
wards inhabited principally by work
ing men.
PROSE POEM ON COTTON.
From a speech by the Hon. J. Thomas
Heflin, of Alabama, in the Congres
sional R cord for March 18.
Mr. I'bHrman: The attention of the
-world is turned to the south when in
the spring of the year the tarmer pre
pares his soil and places seed in the
irronnd. Sunbeams dance on the sur
face, refreshing showers seek and find
their hiding place, and, lo! germina
tion begins. Little plants push the
elorfs away and smile. at the son. Gen
tie zephyrs kiss their tender faces and
breathe into them the message of their
world mission. (Applause) We hear
the mttsie of the hoe and the song oi
the happy plowman. Proud and grace
ful the stalks stand mantled in leaves
and laden with squares. We look
again and thousand of white blossoms
are nodding welcome to th gold belt
ed bees. In a little while t!iy are rosy
red, then they assume : go'den hue,
and finally fade and fall, leaving be
hind tiny green spheres. Masking in
sunshine and" revelling in shower, these
flourish until autumn winds whisper
to every lull grown boil, "Open
sesameJ" (Applause.) Then the cot
ton stalk flings its fleecy fiber to the
breeze and busy fingers pluck it Irmu
tb boll. Now we hear the hum of the
old cotton gin, the seed tall down on
the floor below and lint comes out in
swirls of snow. (Applause) Yonder
t the cotton factory, hard by the cot
ion eld.we bear the $,reraendans voice
t Industry in the caqpert of whirling
spindles wooing Jib fibj: into cloth,
And the finished produce goes out upon
the pulsating tid of a splendid com
merce and cotton is king king ol
American exports-r-ajid in all its rami
fications is basis for the greatest raami
tecturiug interests in the world. (Pro
longed cheers and applause.)
