and Mccormick.


and Mccormick.
There are but fen Democrats in Chicago Who
have not lively recollection Of the pecu]iur
circumstances under which Mr. Sheahan retired
frcm tie Chicago 1im<s-sacri6cins the proud
position he had earned for his paper and for
himself, after six years Of ardaous labor for tho
cake Of the party, ali remember that At the
last moment, wbea lis suooessors had had pos-
session Of his Office for days, a paper Was pre-
sented to him which, under the circumstances,
he MAS forced to sign, By which he Was prohib.
tied from owning or even writing for political
paper in some Eve, SIX or eight States Of the
Union. These things are probably all reuem.
bered By the Democracy Of Chicago, but they
are not perhaps aware of subsequent chapter
in the history Of the case. Mr. Sheahaa was
applied to By the Democratic State Committee,
to 60 to Spring g6eld and edit the State paper
during The campaign, they to pay tlm for his
SERVICES. lie consented for two reasons One
from natural desire to serve hia party in the
most eHectual manner in lis power; and the
second, because he stood in need Of the money
offered him.
The Democratic State Committee at once
addressed letter to Mr.. Mccormick, stating
that they stood in ueed Of Mr.. Sheahan's ser
vices, md requesting him to giva his consent
to his editing the St4te paper. That letter was
addressed to Chicago, but Mccormick was not
he;e, and it was opened By tbs Gubernatorial
% Banthte who sings the raptures'' Of the
Timer and Herald office. III course Of time the
State COMMITTEES received letter purportinR to
have been written by the Great Reaper, bct it's
rhetorical Hourlshes aud insane piatltudes. suf.
icienuy demonstrated that the letter nerec
emsnated from the resping machine. That let
ter acknowledged the receipt of the request Of
the Committee, and contained peremptory re.
futal to "i,steu to it," The COMMITTEES
responded that Mr. Sheehan hsd already
go1e to work aod was doing good
service sad urged the Reaper. to re- consider.
"GoTernor" who hates SheAhsn, has answered
again tina. he will not conEent, and will not lar
down his arms until Sheahan is driven from
the State. He thus allows his personal bstred,
or the weal envy Of McConbx, 10 place him in
the position Of refusing TO the Democratic psrty
the services Of an old campaigncr, and also al
taking from poor man the privilege of earn
lng support for himself and family.
Little do the Democracy know, when they
see "Gov." McComRs spre aiding his tail feathers
on the boards At Scrth's TLeAtre, that be il the
prime mover in The malignant persecution with
Which Sdeahan has been pa1Aued, md which
