Of the Kemainder Two are Independent and Thirteen Democratic Feature of the Eiecticn the Effort to Down the Gang, Which Meets With Success, Gen erally right on Town Officers a Straight Party Issne Aldermanic Con. tests fellow a Republican Majority of Twenty Thousand. Chicago, April 7. Out of the thirty five aldermen, the Republicans today elected twenty, the Democrats thirteen and two Independents were chosen. There are thirty-four wards In the city, but two aldermen were chosen in the Tenth, there being a vacancy in that ward. The principal feature of the election was the effort of the reform ele ment to down a number of the gang al dermen. The reformers were successful with a majority of them but they failed to secure three or four bright particu lar scalps they desired. Party lines were not strong in a number of the wards, and the reform movement had much weight. une ngnt on tne town officers was in all of the towns a party issue, and the Republicans were uni formly successful, carrying all the town offices by majorities ranging from 2,000 to 4,000. The election was very quiet, save in the First and Nineteenth wards, where there were a number of fights and sev eral shooting affrays nobody, however, being seriously injured. Not over twenty arrests were made during the day. The returns from the aldermanic con tests show that the Republicans have on the total vote carried the city by a ma jority of about 20,000. In a fight at the polls in the First ward, the Democratic election judge, Frank Martin, shot "Bull" HIckey thro' the wrist. Another shooting affra'y occurred at Twentieth and State streets J. II. Ransom, colored, firing at Walter Pil!, colored. The bullet missed. The interest in the election centers chiefly in the efforts of the reform organiza tions of the city to clean up the city council. Joseph Grogan, a railroad man, was shoe down this afternoon dui irig a row at tne po!iing place, 400 Dear born street. The wound may result fatally. Chicago, April 7. Full returns from the First and Nineteenth wards, in which most of the fighting occurred, show that twenty-six men were laid out in one way or another during the day. The great majority of these were not injured badly and not one of them fa tally. The man hurt the worst was Jo seph Tregan, who was shot in the ankle. James Dawson had his skull fractured with a crutch. Olaf Henson's nose was smashed flat with a paving stone and John Wilson's ear was torn off by an other of the same kind of missile. Wil liam HIckey was shot in the breast and John McGrath was shot in the back, both slightly injured. These were the worst injuries received. There was no fighting outside of these two wards. Chicago, April 7. Returns from 125 towns throughout the state show Re publican: victories in about four-fifths? of them. In none of the elections was the vote on a straight political issue. WISCONSIN DIVIDED. Milwaukee, Wis., April 7. The Repub licans have again carried Milwaukee by an average plurality for the entire city ticket of probably 4,000. The entire Republican city ticket is probably elected. The Democrats have made substantial gains in the council and board of supervisors, and at mid night it looked as if the council might be Democratic, but this the Republicans were not willing to concede. In the state at large R. D. Marshall is re-elected associate justice of the su- j preme court. In the Eighth judicial I circuit E. W. Helms, (Rep.) is probably elected judge and in the Thirteenth War ham Parks (Rep.) probably defeats J. J. Dick, (Dem.) In the four other dis tricts the incumbents are re-elected without opposition.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 7. The Repub lican state convention has selected Frank J. Cannon, Arthus Brown, C. E. Allen. Isaac Trumbo, W. S. McCormick and Thomas Kearns as delegates to the St Louis convention. The convention was called to order at 11 o'clock by Chairman Dooly in a few well chorsen remarks outlining the is sues of the coming campaign. Chairman A. L. Thomas made an elo quent speech in the interest of Republi can principles and closed with a strong appeal for protection and bimetallism for the best interest of the party and country. Congratulatory telegrams were re ceived from Senator Brown and Repre sentative Allen. The platform is confined almost en tirely to protection and bimetallism and the sense of the convention is expressed in the fallowing language: "We believe in a protective tariff; we believe in reciprocity; we believe in bi metallism, which is the full recognition alike of gold and silver and their free coinage in the mints of the nation at the ratio of 16 to 1. "We contemplate with sorrow and shame the spectacle which our country presents today because of the attempt to substitute for a protective tariff a tariff for revenue and because of the destruction of silver as money of final redemption. "We hold that a policy which has fill ed the land with idle men, which takes from labor Its honest reward, which doubles theb urdea of debt which, amid bountiful harvests, in a time of pro found peace, makjs necessary the issu ing of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of interest-bearing bonds in order to meet the current expenses of the gov ernment, is an lmjeachment of both the intelligence and Integrity of those who control our government "We hold that as a tariff for revenue has failed to reftore prosperity, so a protictive tariff, 'as long as the money of the country i held, ounce for ounce, 100 per cent higaer than the money of the orient and of Spanish-America, is impotentto saveour farmers and manu facturers against a competition which they are helpless to meet and we repu diate the belief that protection without bimetallism can restore prosperity. The situation makes clear that bimetallism and protection must be accepted as con stituting one vital, indivisible principle, that not only the progress but the safe ty of the industries of our country and the tollers who carry on hose Industries, make thr acceptance of this principle imperative protection by a -tariff to equalize the wages of our country and those paid abroad, and blmetallismto take from gold Its present appreciation and to equalize the money of this coun try and that of silver standard nations. tWe cordially endorse the stand' taFen in the national legislature by western senators and representatives In behalf of holding bimetallism and pro tection together as one. 'We ask our delegates to St. Louis to do their utmost to secure in the national Republican platform a full acknowl edgment of the imperative need of a re turn to read bimetallism and a promise of Its swift adoption without regard to other nations, by opening our mints to thb free coinage of gold and silver at a ritio of 16 to 1." "Nominations wero then called for and sixteen candidates were presented, among them Judge C. C. Goodwin and Charles Crane. In a neat speech Mr. JCrane declined the honor and asked his friends to vote for Colonel Trumbo. Judge Goodwin also thanked his friends for the honor and declined to have his name used. The ballot for delegates was then taken with the above result COLORED MEN IN CONVENTION Contesting Delegation for McKIuley Sent From i-outh Carolina. Columbia, S. C, April 7.

Pistols were drawn, when the locked -out McKiniey m-n endeavored to enter and It looked like bloodshed for a time.

Thy are for Reed under the leadership of Bill Stevens, colored. The negroes tn rbe regular convention also bolted and plcted a negro delegation to St Louis.
