The definite announcement Of Mayor Have

himself is having been elected as party canal-
date. and will not consent to act as such, 1s an
other valuable contribution to the distinction be-

Chicago has not hsd partisan Mayor Tor se'-
era1 years, and will probably never again have
ono who can legitimateiy regard HIM

Mayor of Boston was elected only after earnest
and repeated protestations that he would not

WHAT SHALL BE DoNE WITH THEM

WHAT SHALL BE DoNE WITH THEM
There are two ways Of dispoeing Of tho credlt
Mobiiier Congressman. Ono Is 70 e1pea Ames
and everr member Who received dollar OF profit
from the stock-the amount, whether great u
small, is Of no consequence: Tho other as' :"
vote that the present Congress has no Ju1asa1c-
ton over transactions that occurred in former
Congress-, and thus let the mattar drop. 1t Is to
ba feared that the decisiion will be made, nos
upon grounds Of abstract justice, but npon pn
estimate OF it's supposed political effect, Upon
this point we have word to offer. It will not
do to expel the man who paid the money
and exou,rate those who received it. Nor will
it be any more safe to let tho matter drop en-
tirely. Dropping it out OF the Congress- is
dropping it into the hands Of tho people, where
the war will rage on through moro than one
election. It has been charged that the Republic
can partyis rotten; that, having long agofulflled
its legitimate mission and purpose, it has gone
