xrvr rssnnNATD AND HIS POLITICS,

A few years ago, corporation til this city
had as tloir bookkoepor and caslior foBpec-
table young man who possessed tho full conh"
tonco Of his employers and Ind acceaa to the
aafo where their money was kept. In an OWL
hour he foil In with u man named Mike MoDon-
old. gambler, who gradually yinBtnuatod himsolf
into tho favor Of tho young man, until At last
tho Inter yielding to McDonald'a rorsuastons
took $100 Of Ills employers money to play ut
faro. Wien this Was lost, ho waa persuaded BY
Mcdonald to take more, and try to recover whne
he had lost. OF course, the subsequent abstrao-
tionB followed tho arst When tho ombczzlomons
had reached large Sum, Mcdonald assumed a
different domeanor. Ho now threatened whero
ho had previously coaxed He demanded TINT his
poor dupe should 60 on With his thioving. or ho
would proclaim lis guilt, and In this way the
unfortunate wretch kept taking until he had
stolen e6S, 600, no lees than $4,000 being takon
at one timo As ho stolo the money, he placed
It In MoDona1d's q hands, to be used in gambling
for their Joint benefit. Towards the close, Nc
Donald told his victim, substantially: "You
have now stolen enough to send you to tho
ponitentiary half your life and Disgrace
you forever; you hare nothing; now
finish the job by taking al tho money
tho Company has, place 1t in my hands,
you 60 to California. and will compromise with
tho Company aud haye..you reloasod." Tho aa-
vico was taken, tho robbery was completed, tic
thief fled, and Mcdonald lad tho money. Nc
Donald WAS arrested ano lodged in jail, where
ho remained some six months. He regatned his
liberty by refundng = portion OF the stolen
money.
This man Mcdonald, with the money thus OBJ
| tained, soon became prominent In tho gambling
fraternity Of Chicago. he has had, ever aiuco
| this robbery, half q dozcn gambling ~housea, In
many parts Of the city, ead Is the proprietor OF
director OF the bunko establishments into whicl,
/ strangers. arc coaxed and p1uudored. Ho is a
| man Of ability and energy, and for that reason
| all the more dangerous. This man is to.
! all tho champions of tho Hosing ticket. He
has grievance to redress, aud m interest tc
aeryo in oleoting Hesing's government. Unde,
Mayor Modjl1 and Mayor Bond tho police nnde,
tho commands of Captains Buckley mud Lul
have made vigorous warfare upon McDoua1d'a
establishments. His bunko-players havo boou
arrested over and over again, and punished, snd
made to diBgorge their robberies. Tho larger
gambling-dens have been invaded so otter
that tho business has become too pre-
carious to be profitable. Unloas thore be
a change, McDona1d's occupation'a gono
With Hoaing'a government, aud Hos
ing's Police Commissioners, and Hesing'I
Superintendent and Captains Of Police. Mkt
IcDonalds gambling-houses will flourish 4.
they have in former timos, under tho protection
Of tho police. II Hcsing's government be elect
ed, Washburn. and Buckley. aud Lull will b
dismissed, and Mcdonald will DO avenged.
When Mayor Mediu removed the obnoxiouI
Police Commissioners, Mike Mcdonald was oc
cnpying promises belonging to one Of tho polic'
Commissioners, the promises being used noto
riously for ganabling-house.
How many other young men, CLERKS, book
Keepers, caahiers, and porsona holding like pla
ces Of trust, has this n1an eeduced in his gam
bling-dona How many will bs seducod, if ht
ba allowed to reopen MI his establishments, par
ticularly II they are to bs protected by the po
lice This man is leaving nothing undone t.
elect the Hesing ticket. Have the citizens o
Chicago no interest In this matter to mike then
Us jealous to defoat that ticket and compel thi
dangerous man, With his Infamous business, t.
leave this city?
ILLEGAL VOTING.
