Now that the municipal election of our
city has taken place, and the supremacy of |
the hummer element demonstratcd,bY ma !
ority Of about ten thousand in lis favor
we are left with little time upon our
hands to reflect upon the causes that pro
ducc effects The success can in no way
he denomnatcd II republican or demo-
cratic victory, inasmuch IA national poll
tics did not enter into the conflict. 1t was
a question of sunday beer or no Sunday
beer.
TO the advocates of law and order, there
fore, the result of the vote of November
It'll was looked forward to with no little
concern aud when, after the returns had
come in, showing the largest vote pollcd in
many years. being over 10000, and that
the peoples party, 80 called, had elected
its ticket by many thousands, there was Il
general surprise manifested. not only by
the party which had been lbcatcn, but also
by the most intelligent and observing Of the
leaders in the peoples movement. Every
members of tho winning ticket was the
victim of pleasurablc disappointment. We
are informed, however, that the city OIL
cials about to come into power are to give
lis an unexccptionably good government,
and to surprise those who expected nothing
but riot and reckless waste OF the ciy's
funds, or in other words, the reproduction
of the Tweed regime of New York. But
whatever is the practical result Of the cleo
tion the citizens of Chicago have only
themselves to credit Like most other con
stituencies, we leave the making of the
tickets to the rings, the self-csnstituted cX-
ponents and after everything is fixed mp
by few men, whose brass and energy ena-
blcd them to do it, certain names are given
to the tickets, whereby the people are flat
tered and brought into acquiesccncc. Thus
we had the "People's Ticket and the
"Citzens Union Ticket" neither of which
were the peoples ticket or the citizens
ticket. The one was made by Dan O'Ilara
and A. c. Hesing, and the other by little
conclave at the Pacific Hotel, composed of
David A. Gage and few other political
wire pullers. There was, however, an is
sue. The supporters of the citizens ticket
were for law and order and against the
opening of the saloons on the Sabbath,
while the peoples ticket was RIM by the
men who beievein drinking all the beer and
whisky they wanted, whether on Sunday
or any other day. Thus stood the fight,
the.tcmperate on one side and the liberal
minded on the other. Both tickets con-
tanned some good men, but the Pacific
Hotel arrangement met with much disfayor
from host of good citizens, from the fact
that few men had attempted to cram it
down the peoples mouths, nolens UOlens,
The same charge could not rest so fully on
the peoples ticket and it was this that
won the victory for the Bummers, So
called. So that, if we lose million OF
dollars and hundred lives by the opera
ton, and the reputation of the city for good
government, it must be attributed to that
foolshness, of which American cities and
states seem ever 10 be guilty.
THE EXPOSITION
up to the last week or two of the mum.
cpal campaign was the chief object of at
traction to everybody, and one upon which
Chicagoans never ceased to take pride il
descanting. As an achievement, 1t wal
worthy of the enterprise which we boast
Containing greater area, by many thou
sand square feet, than the Crystal Palace
of New York, and being much more beau
tiful than that mammoth structure 1t wa
begun and completed within the short spac
of ninety days Being mostly of iron
glass and brick, the rapidity of ITS erection
would be a marvel IN ordinary times bu
in "a period of financial distress and banl
panics the accomplishment Of 50 stupen

THE ATTENDANCE
