The expepscs Of the village we're increased not
ply that the - riny-hreaaer" might. at public ex-

Hoxie had himself consented to stand for re-
election. and had sclccted the men he would have
elected on his ticket: As eoon as be found that
the people were ready to attend to his case, he,
coward-like, gave notice that he was not candi-
date for reelection, and set about to elect the TWO
members Of tue old Eoard who had been with him
in every steal that he had put through during his
term OF service in the Board.

HIS ATTA1SMESTs.

Talk about tiox1e's breaking m ring within
ono week from the time he came into of1cel
The only ring that was broken up BY his being in
making their best cndcayor to protect it against the
inroads Of such aa he. Was he man that wonld
nuke sacrifices for the benefit OF his nanncipality9
when the village, Of whose board Of Trustees he
was President had q largo Indebtedness
falling due, and through the reckless expenditures
that hod been going on da1ng bis admints5atl99n
he bring his supposed powerful personal influence
to bear in the direction Of providing meana to pro.
tect the corporation credit and save it from dis
grace?
He never lifted finger, and il it had not been
for the strenuous efforts at the Treasurer backed
by the Financial Committee and the President OF
one of our National Banks, Hyde Park would today
be among those financially suspended munlcipali-
tics that too frequently adorn the roll OF American
cities.
Grossly selfish, thoroughly interruptions, in
every respect unfit to represent any constituency in
any Legislative toiy, yet this man has the hard:
hood to ask the support Of the business men, and
the professional men, and the 1aboring men Of 20
intelligent constituency that Of the First Con-
gressional District Of Illinois. Yours respectfully
HONESTY.
