CHICAGO, April 2.-What Chicago wants is q
man ut the head Of her Government who has
been raised to businessmen to politics. Such
an one is John II. Clark, and such IN one is not
Carter H. Harrison. The latter hns not been
ratsed to business,-nobody advocates bis cleo
ton for bis qualities as a businessman. He is
simply willy politician, just the kind produced
at the South under the old slave regime, where
labor was not considered respectable. Such
men are Of little value in the progressive needs
OF our. Northern cries. It Is amazing
how these men from the ex-Slave States can
worm themselves into office, simply by means
OF their blurney. Harrison Is said to DO rich
Did hc get 1t By establishing factories or any
business enterprise? T have never heard or his
doing ything Of the kind. What has he done
to oentlrie him to tho gratitude of Chicago? Do
we owe Il nun anything VINO comes here and
buys lots, which he dun't improve but sits down
TO wait thcir rise from the building up OF others
property adjoining7 This has been tho practice
Of scores from Kentucky, but fail to call to
mind but a few who have done anything to
build up enterprises to augment the business Of
the city,
Harrison is nothing more nor less than a polf- !
tlctau 0f trEepcessible wind. OF nll the cities In
the realm, this Is the one which hns no use for
such II one at the bead Of its affairs. He could
h..ve no support were 1t not for the political /
bus OF his followers. The men who bear the
city noted for its grand achievements, arc not |
his supporters. But Tho same cannot be said Of |
the disreputuble class which naturally grnvit1e5
toward the word Democrat, us Il duck to water.
1t does not seem possible that this man can be |
saddled upon US tor another term. PROGRESS.

THE LAST DESPERATE RESORT.
For the past two weeks the Democratic ward
committeeman have been vigorously engaged IN
colonizlnet III crest many Of the wards Va
cant lots, manufacturing establishments, sailor
boarding-houses, and lodging-houses have been
drawn on TO an extent that in the aggregate is
alarming. The Clark street gambling dens, the
vile saloons on State' street, and the under
ground dives have also been called upon to
stand sponsors for the legal residence. OF the
frauds who will be used on Tuesday to add to
Harrison's vote In the First Ward it is esti-
mated that fully GOO fraudulent votes have
been registered. The sailor boarding houses
and rnachiue-shopsi in the Tenth Ward have been
credited with 1.0S0 bogus voters. In the Eighth
Ward the reglsttylsts hare been swollen with
5,000 names, the owners of which huve never
minutes on elecuon-day. The Second Ward
s!ums have contributed about 500 of these
frauds.
The locations to which the repeaters and bo-
gus voters arc assigned are well known. not only
torhe politicians. but also to the police. Among
others there are Nos. l3. 148. l76. 261, 26t, 69,
461, 463 clark; 3l0 and S12 State; Ill franklin;
164 166, 193, and zoe Washincton; 50 and l:0 Ran
dotph; 81 and 34 West Madison. and 1235z West
Washington.
The Judges of election will be furnished with
complete lists of all the crooked voters md the
residences to which they have have been ac-
credited. Detectives have been employed to
watch their movements, and special pains will
be taken to nip in the bud every attempt that
Speedy arrests will be made. and the thugs and
pimps who are engaged in .se dfsreputnble
work will find it very detrimental to thei1 per-
sonal Liberty should they be caEght.

CHICAGO. Apr!l "A few years ago young
lawyer OF our city picked up on Wabash ayenue
Il package containing II number OF uncut dia-
monds Of the value Of $23 coo. The owner,
diamond broker nearly crazed by the loss, ad-
vertfsedit IN the papers offering II large reward
for their return. The young lawyer, seeing the
advertisement, sought out the owner, and upon
being satisfied the diamonds belonged to him,
promptly handed them over The owner thank
ing him, offered him us reward one Of them,
but the ynupx lawyer courteously declined TO
accept It, enyldg that though the proceeds OF tho
diamond thus offered would indeed prove very
acccptabio, yet believing conscientiously that

NOT ENCOURAGING.
The President Has Another At
tack of Vomiting
ATTRIBUTED TO SECRETlONS
IN THE THROAT.
HIS CONDITION CAUSING MUCH
ANXIETY.

The President passed quiet day Saturday
and the surgeons were of the opinion that
there was slight improvement in his condi-
ton. His pulse and temperature were higher
in the afternoon than on the day before, but
the improvement in the tone of his stomach
more than compensated for this. He took
about one-third more nourishment than the
day before without gastric disturbance The
swelling of the parotid gland remained about
the same, but it did not give the patient so
much discomfort as the day before. A rubber
ca theter was introduced into the wound to the
depth of twelve inches, after the sloughing
away of piece Of tissue, showing that the
surgeons had been mistaken in supposing that
that the wound had healed in the deeper parts.
The President Yves quite restless Saturday
night, but on awaking in the.morning was in
about the same condition as on the previous
morning. In the afternoon he vomited twice,
the result, the physicians say, of an accumula-
ton of phlegm in the throat, and the admins
tration of food through the mouth was discon-
tinued. His condition creates great anxiety.
