Alvord faction underwent change which ndi-
Gated that they had made break into the ranks

enough Of the liars who have been play
ing II double all through this canvass
to make the election OF their man certain. Tho
browning glory Of the old mans life has been
achieved. His friends promise that he will
make n record this winter that shall wipe out
all the sins OF the past. and send his name down
10 future generations surrounded with halo OF
glory. 1t is n big contract to undertake. but
from n man who for three years has success
fully dcned the Constitution by refusing to have
tho State rcapportioned. to say nothing OF
smaller SINS great things should be expected.

crushed. Never before in the history OF tho

gallant fight against the machine men OF his
party Tho corporations the lobby. and other

such veteran rs Old Salt for an opponent the
wonder Is thnt he did not lack forty instead Of
four votes. George II. Slonn and tho influences
which were behind him in this fight will yet be
heard from.
