meeting Of the Citizens association; nor
was there q special need Of their at.
tendance. Extraordinary industry on
the part Of the committee appointed. and
ordinary liberali,y on the part OF inter
ested parties upon whom tile committee
may call, are essential TO an achieve
ment Of the ends at which we aim; blu,
mass meetings Of the citizens are not.
The committee has full power to employ
attornies, to raise money to pay them,
and to do such other things as may be
thought necessary to give our resistance
proper shape. The meeting charged an
important and laborious duty upon the
committee and was careful, therefore, to
so constitute the committee a. to insure a
faithful discharge OF that duty. We
take 1t for granted, however, that all the
labor Is not yet performed. Many tax.

payment Of the expenses that must be

each taxpayer in the city were
assessed according to the value
Of his taxable property. The required
amount cannot be provided 10 that way,
1t cannot be expected that the committee
will call upon all the thirteen hundred
taxpayers Of the city, and demand from
each his portion. No man or dozen men
can be found who can spare the required
time or would expend the required labor.
The expense must be borne by those who
are most able and willing to bear IL; aud
the idea Of pro rata assessment must be
abandoned. 70 facilitate the labor Of
the committee, we suggest that subscrip.
ton papers be left In three or more prom.

Is one that enlists the sympathies OF
nearly every property owner, In the
city; and by carrying out our suggestion
the opportunity would be afforded to
everybody 10 contribute whatever sum
his interest or inclination might promp,
him to give. This plan would relieve
the committee Of the performance o.

Enthusiastically. The truth Is. that Bevcr-

himself at other times as-not too good

deed there are those-and their name is
legion---who hold the governor to be
somewhat pharisaical. But, upon this
ground, onlyssa comparatively few OF
his opponents stand. He has not
shown himself to be such a governor as
the great State of Illinois ought to have,
and can have whenever the people will
1t. He is lacking In executive ability.
At times when prompt and decisive &C.
ton was demanded, he showed himself
weak and vacillating wholly unequal ia

aud bloodshed ran rampant in portion
Of his dominion, and the local officers Of
the law were unable to bring the offend

chair, apparently soothed by the reelection

turned deaf ear until the demand upon
him was: echoed In tones of anger,
