To the Editor Of The Tribune
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Our vauuted age Of gun
powder, steam, and electricity seems still not
fast enough to carry current news into all
quarters with the CELEBRITY required to satisfy the
demand OF fastidlous public. At any rate 1t
is apparent that the new movemcnt-~the reform
aud reorganization moyement-among the Re-
pub1icans Of this city and county has up to last
Monday not been heard Of in the sanctum OF
the i,,tcr-Occdn.
And now comes the little demon called pyr-
rhonisn aud whispers into our ears: Perhaps
and perhaps not,-there is just the slightest
that the aforesaid paper Is not oger-
anxious to take cornizanee OF the glad tidlngs
in the same happy frame OF mind as ia the
fashion among other mortals formed Of the
common Republican clav, because, forsooth, It
is the organ OF the Btalwartest OF the sta1TaTt,
the accredited apologtst, defender, and mouth
piece Of the dark-complexioned, orim-visaged
and grand almouer OF the Re-
publican party for certain geographical section
Of Illinois, embracing Cook County, holding |
the sstrings to Uncle: Sans grab-bag, filled |
With the utbits OF office and emolumeuts.

Joke of the Three Mems Tobacco" " is yiyidly |
brought to mind, the explanation being that it |
takes two men to hold the third, who is smoking !

make out an analogous case that it takes two |
men to hold the third, who is in the act Of read

1nens and laughter st seeing the sedate, SOM

Of capers and antics in order to appear
childlke and unconcerned, while In reality 1t is
worried and troubled about the posaible-naY,
most probable-fate Of the 'snoble Uliuoisian"
in case that confounded new-fangied heresy OF
reform and reorganization should actually
bp1ead and infect the flock OF the faithful And
well may 1t be alarmed ut the spread Of heresy
