HIS HONOR THE MAYOR.
Interesting Renaissance In the Lie of
Public Man.

Interesting "Reminiscences In the Lie of a
Public Han.
Chicago is, as she may we'll be, justly
proud Of her mayor. She is proud for sew
eral reasons, ana very good ones, too, OF
the Hon. Garter q. Harrison. There are
but few men in American politics to-day
who can show as clear record or as de-
serving aud honorable career as Mr.. Har-
rison. From the day on which he left his
home ain the dark and bloody ground"
to settle the Eldorado Of the western
praries, then in its infancy, the career OF
that gentleman has been upward and on
ward. Twice have the people chosen him
as their representative in congress from the
Second District Of Illinois, and twice did he
acquit himself Of that trust in manner
that won for him warm spot in the hearts
Of his constituency.
Twice has Mr.. Harrison been called up
on to fill the Office Of Mayor Of Chicago
with the highest Mayorality vote ever given
a democrat in this great city, aud twice has
he filed that Office with honor, winning the
respect and esteem Of her people, regard
less of party.
Garter II. Harrison is to-day the most
popular man in the state of Illinois, fact
due to the zeal, the untiring energy, and the
steadfastness of purpose displayed by that
gentleman throughout his whole public
life. The esteem and confidence of the
people are his in the fullest sense-won by
his unf nching adherence to the right-his
uRquestionable honesty of purpose-his
high moral character-and his unobtruaive
though steadtast mien. Mr.. Harrison's IN
obtrusiveness, it may be said, is not the
least among his many commendable quail.
tiles; the fact that he is not seeker after
office but rather the Office seeks him. is, in
The opinion Of the writer, q high commend
alton. That Mr.. Harrison has at heart the
interests Of the community he represents
will be readily seen by the
following answer to q question
asked by the writer. in oQnversation lately
held with Mr.. H.: n came to Chicago"
said Mr.. Harrison. at time when we.were
limited, comparatively speaking, in all but
natural resources, but OF them we had an
unlimited supply. I saw that the city, and
the State likewise. ought to increase-to
become reat in population and in wealth.

sies, and for the capitalist who came TO ad-
vance our mercantile, commercial, and
railroad interests. have advocated all
measures OF this kind that have risen in my
time, and intend to do it in the future. It
IS clearly my duty to range myself on the
side Of the people. their interests being
what have on my mind and in my heart.
Mr.. Harrison is as yet in the prime Of
life-his physical qualities being fully
equal to his mental capacities, and that is
saying great deal, the only medicine that
gentleman ever used being the Great Ger
man Remedy, st. Jacobs Oh. Speaking Of
that great panacea used by all great men of
the day. Mr. Harrison said: "Rheumatism

where it will bother me no more. In the
aeighborhood where I live the people will
ave no other medicine for rheumatism or
diseases OF similar nature than St. Jacobs
Oil.

The writer, ON his return to the Office
took occasion to see how many great men OF
the Jay have been benefited by the use OF st.
Jacobs Oil, just out Of curiosity. His re-
search was wonderfully productive. he
appends few of the names, thinking them
appropriately placed beside that of MI. Oar.
