CHICAGO, April 4--Never in the history of Chicago has such intense and universal "interest been shown in any municipal election as in that which came off yesterday. The campaign on both sides has been conducted with great bitterness, neither side being able to find much of anything too hard to say.

But theresulfcproved an overwhelming triumph for the and a humil iating the Republicans.

Where the party lines were drawn the Democrats, in most instances, maintained the gains made last fall. 9 A. M---The returns not all yet been tabulated, but the latest figuring places Carter Harrison's plurality at 21,000.
