Sunday Morning. October 30. 1873.


Mr.. Storey objects to tho nomination OF Mr.
Colyin for Mayor on tho ostonsib1o ground that
he ia man Of "bad habits" The human mind
is appalled, by tho consideration OF what Mr..
Storey would regard rs bad habte. It is perfoot-
ly obvious that tho charge against h1r. Colvin on
tho score OF habits is pretonso to cover Mr.
Htorey's modification at tho proferonce shown
70 Colyin over himBelf. In what respect arc
Mr. Colyin'a habits worso than AIr. Storoy'B?
Wo venture to affirm that tho former would
consider himself iusultod by any comparison
OF his habits with those Of Mr, Storey. Mr.
Storey is not only 4 1nan Of bad habits himsoH.
but ho has devoted the boat years Of Lis Life to
promoting bnd habits in others, by publishing an
indecent newspaper, which no modest woman
can open d second timo. So we'll is this fact
known in this community, that secret banker
ing after the Timcs-and especially tho Sunday
Times.-on tho part Of any woman, has come to
be regarded as evidence Of Ill impure mind and
the papor mas long ago banishea from respecta-
bic households.
Now, whatoyer may DO said about Mr. Colvin,
influence on tho community. Whatever his
faults may be, he has been tho ouly sufroror
from thom, nnd, as vo have alrcady remarked,
bis habits have not boon 30 conspicuously bad as
those Of his asHaant. Therefore We aro forced
to conclude that Nr. Colyln's habits alone would
II thcro wore not something o]so rank1ing in
that dark receptacle. W,at can TINT boz Un-
doubtod1y 1t is spirit of royongo, dictated by
Mr. Colvin's SUCCESS III getting tho nomina-
tion instead of himself. Mr. Storey
was largely committed to the Hosing ticket In
ndvance by tho voto in the rotten Board Of
County Commissioners awarding him $4,000 Of
the public money Rs ront for rooms which pri~
Tato citizons would not occupy at any price,
Whilo bottor roons were offered to the county
FOR half the money. Mr. Storey ratiaos this
trade 30 far Us Buffalo Miller ia concerned
(Duffalo being one Of tho members of tho
County Board TINT voted this money to Mr.
Btorey), but refuses to ratify it ~ to Colvin,
because, forsootl, ho Ia not mau Of good
habtsl
Tell that to the marineH. Mr.. Co1yin'a habits
sre as good as Buffalo Millor's Thoy arc az
good al Lis ticket will average. They are aa
good as the Hcaing party desire. They are aa
good as the saloon-koepers want. Mr. storey'a
pretenae tint they arc not good enough for him
Is altogether too thin for the occasion. It Is
simply the outory OF yexation because tho baublc
Of the Mayoralty waa awarded to another man.
We advise A1r. Storey, in all knluoas,
to 1eayo offico-aooling alono, and 10 content
with the social honors he haa achieved during
j.. his residence in Chicago. Tho Office Of Mayor,
!. however popular 10 might DO as q candidate ie
only Of short duration, while his position in so.
cfety ia well assured, and cannot 10 oyerthrown
by colvin or any other man. Moreover, nIr.
Storey is falling into tho eero the yellow leaf. ant
that which should accompany old ago-as honor
love, obedience, troops Of friends s-ho should b,
al means seok to have not i'll their stead til.
cares Of municipal Office and tho embroi11nent
Of local politics.
