The Chicago mayoral election of 1885 saw Democratic incumbent Carter Harrison Sr. win an unprecedented fourth term, receiving a majority of voter and narrowly defeating Republican Sidney Smith by a less than half-percent margin of victory.

The election was held on April 7.^[1]^[2]

Campaign

Republicans exploited controversies which had tarnished the image of Harrison's administration. Unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud and patronage had been key controversies throughout his mayoralty.^[3] In February 1885, a grand jury charged Michael Cassius McDonald's right-hand man Joseph Mackin. The charges against Mackin compounded with the preexisting rumors relating to Harrison to foster a public sentiment that challenged the popularity of Harrison.^[3]

Harrison lost the support of many liberal German voters that had previously voted for him.^[3]
