Carter, former Illinois governor John Peter Altgeld, as well as several minor candidates by a double-digit margin. The election took place on April 4.[1][1][2][3] NominationsDemocratic primaryA primary was held in March to elect delegates to the city's Democratic convention. Harrison was unanimously renominated at the convention held March 16.[5][4][5] RepublicanZina B. Carter won the Republican nomination. The Republican Party was seen to be divided, weakening its chances of winning the general election.[8] Municipal OwnershipDespite having lost his bid for reelection as governor in 1896, Altgeld was a prominent national political figure.[6] As leader of the Illinois Democratic Party he had selected Harrison in 1897 to be the party-backed candidate for mayor. However, a divide between them arose shortly afterwards.[6] This divide was exacerbated by disagreements about the traction debate and whether or not municipal ownership was the solution to it.[6] In December 1898, after consideration, Altgeld made a widely-anticipated announcement that he would challenge Harrison for the mayoralty. Realizing that he could not win the Democratic nomination, as Harrison had coalesced control of the city party, Altgeld opted to challenge him as a third-party candidate in the general election, backed by the Municipal Ownership League.[6] General electionAltgeld accused Harrison of turning a blind eye to corruption and abandoning the reformist platforms he had campaigned on in 1897.[6] Harrison accused Altgeld of being hypocritical on the traction issue, having ignored it while governor.[5] Harrison eschewed discussing the national hotbutton debate surrounding the gold standard.[8] He highlighted his successes in expanding street lighting in the city and in defeating unpopular traction legislation.[8] Republican Carter aimed to run a positive and business-centered campaign.[8] He was widely ignored in the press.[8] Endorsements{{Endorsements box| title = John Peter Altgeld (Municipal Ownership) | list =
