THE MARCH OF ECLEcTIUIsn1,

hlr. Storey yesterday announced tho latest Of
his selos Of Eoioctic tickets. It is made up from
tho tickets already In tho fold, with the excop-
ton Of Mayor. This shows that Mr. Btorey's
anxiety b concentrated upon that single POSI-
tion, aud that he is oppressed with the conyic-
tion TINT no man can adminstor tho Office in
times like these 80 woll as lle. Even though ho
olasscs Mr. Brookway with bummers and Hcaa-
wags, yet in the samo article lo puts his
namo on the Eclectic ticket for Clerk of tho
County Court. ue Is willing to sacrifice every
thing, it is plain, except the Mayors Office. All
tho othor places may be ooloeticizod at tho will
Of 20 indiyidual voter, but he cannot abide lfr.
Bond and ho is shocked at the bad habits Of
11r, Colyin. 1t is plain that ho will not feel that
tho city la safe unless Wilbur +. Storey occupies
tho Mayors chair. He shares this sentimeut
with that large class Of people who have watched
Lis public-Bpirited careor for many years past
noted Ills charitable disposition, admired his do
yotion to tho cause Of Christianity and the gen.
eral rootitudo OF his behavior.
As VIC anticipated, A1r. storoy's excessive
modosty has kept him from boldly plncing his
name at tho bend Of his tickot He Inns adopt
cd the more bashful courao Of mentioning tile
names Of gentlemen who could not, In all proba-
bity, be induced to join tho Eclectic School ut
this particular time. He may hayo had another
motive,-to bring out by contrast with some Of
the best citizons Of Chicago the greater offr1-
CONGO that attaches to hts own namo. Few mon
would have darod to challenge this trying test
Air. Storey is ono Of tint class Of men who don't
stop at triflos. THUS ho brings himself in con-
trust with such excellent citizens as Mossrs. l..
@. r. Freer, J. H. h1oYlckor, md H. ". King,
theory Of Eclceticism, for tho purpose Of dis
closing Ills superior ftneaH. "If," ho Hays to
himself, j" the people Immediately recognize my
moral elevation, my eooial standing. my OYER
powering popularity ut the more mention Of
| somo OF tho best men In tho community,
then 1t will not bo difficult to load
thom to tho conclusion that am best qualified
to govern this great city, and protect It's social,
religious moral, commercial, and political VOL
fare." Though thia roaaoning belongs properly
to tho Induotiyo School Of Philosophy, Mr.
storoy's attachment to tho Eclectic principle por-
| mits him to adopt 1t, and nobody will question
the cogency Of its application.
