Harrison won a majority of the vote, defeating Republican Samuel W. Allerton by a 10 point margin, as well as former mayor DeWitt Clinton Cregier (who ran under the "United Citizens " banner, but failed to receive a significant share of the vote).[2] CampaigningThe election took place against the backdrop of the city's preparations for the World's Columbian Exposition.[3] The race was considered to have been one of the most rancorous in Chicago's history.[3] Harrison was regarded to be an underdog in the race.[2] The city elite largely considered Harrison to be too liberal and believed that he allowed himself to be surrounded by corrupt associates.[3] Thus, Allerton, a conservative Republican, received broad backing from the city elite and nearly all of the city's newspapers.[3][2] Harrison reportedly spent $500,000 in his campaign effort.[4] He benefited from a well-run campaign operation.[2] Many voters believed that the charismatic Harrison was the best choice to be the "face" of the city during the World's Fair, that he was the best option to serve as the city's ambassador to the world during the course of the exposition.[3] Others, however, believed that Harrison's leadership style was better adapted to the past, when Chicago was a burgeoning metropolis. They believed that hosting the World's Fair indicated that the city had reached a stage of maturity in its development and that Harrison was ill-suited to lead the city at such a stage.[3] The election result was considered to be a surprise, as most newspapers had predicted Allerton to have been the strong favorite to win the election.[2] Results{{Election box begin no change| title=1893 Chicago mayoral election[5][6]}}{{Election box winning candidate with party link no change|party = Democratic Party (United States) |candidate = Carter Harrison Sr. |votes =114,237 |percentage =54.03 }}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |party = Republican Party (United States) |candidate = Samuel W.
