ayerted by holding two Reform Conventions
instead of one, Mr. Reformer Ho1E was
nominated by one set Of Reformers' and Mf'
Reformer CAu1RmhD by another set OF re-
formers. And yet they are not happy. Inc
gentleman who aspires to represent such
Reformers as DAVE THORNTON, MIKE EVANS
and PAT MoHueH naturally distrrsts the
other Reform candidate and the gentleman
who has been put forward by such He~
formers as TRUpE, Ton FOLEY, ana jim
RYAN has no faith in the pretenslons OF toe
other enthusiast. And so the case stanos'
We have no doubt that the interests OF
Reform would be served best by both these
distinguished Reformers, Ho1E ana oAo1-
FIELD, obstinately holding their grouna:
They must be satisfied that Reform VIII
sntfer if either Of them withdraw. But
it is unfortunate that both 1--we III
the same district, and even Congress
of Confederate Reformers might oo]ec'
to admitting two men from the same o1str'ct'
especially when both will receive mlnor1ey
of the votes. So it is more than likely that
one of the Reformers will have to step aside.
Each has his advantages. BARNEY has been
tried IS a Reformer, having steadily Voted
with the Confederntes in Reform, having
stood bv BEN H1u1 when he libe1ed the peo-
ple Of Chicago, and having been active IN
running the scandal-machine in behalf OF
Reform. BARNEY also comes from that race
of Reformers which has produced Its DAVE
T1onsroNs, Mike EvANsEs, and Ton FoLExs !;
this is in his favor. Ho11E, on the other
hand, is untried as Reformer, except, per
haps, in q brief experience in Hyde Park, and
it il not known whether he will be true to
the Cause; but Hox1E has one advantage
which outweighs oil the others, To-
wit: He has the most money and Is
willing to spend the'most money IN behal1
| of Reform, That settles it. BARNEY, Win
all the service he has done, must step asloe
and await post-office, or gaugershlp, OF
something, in case IS Tr1DEN and Reform
shall succeed. Hox1E's money will go fur
ther among the Reform boys than BARSEYt
| blarnev. and SO HoxE is the man who l:
destined to serve the interests Of real Reform
by being beaten for Congress by Mr.
| AIDR1cH.
The Reformers Of the West and North Di
visions (the Second and Third Districts) wer'
naturally less enthusiastic than the reform
ers of the First District. One reason to
this is, that they are less numerous anothe
is. that no moneyed Reformer, like Ho1H
came forward to contest the renomlnatlon Q
the old members. It is understood that HI
HARRISON loft instructions when he wen
away that all expenses should be paid
that the Reformers rallied abonthlm as a unit

Third District, Mr.. LIE MONIES success

GEORGE KIMBERLY would have been equal
