HIS HONOR THE MAYOR.
Interesting Iseminisence In the Life
Of Public Man.

ofn Public Man.
Chicago Times.
Chicago is, rs she well may be, Justly
proud of her Mayor She is proud for
several reasons, and very good ones,
too, of the Hon, Carter II. Harrison.
There are but few men in American
politics to-day who can show as clear n
record or as deserving an honorable a
career as Mr.. Harrison. From the dav
on which he left his honae in ''the dark
and bloody ground" to settle in the
Eldorado of the Western prairies, then
in It's infancy, the career of that gentle
man has been upward and onward.
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 a
manner, that won for him warm spot
in the hearts of his constituency.
Twice has Mr.. Harrison been called
upon to fill the office of Mayor os Chi
cago with the highest Mayoralty vote
ever given Democrat in this great
city, and twice has he filled that office
with honor, winning the respect and
esteem of her people regardless of
party.
Carter II. Harrison is TO-DAY the
most popular man in the state of Hi
nois, a fact due to the zeal the untirinp
energy, and the steadfastncss of pur-
pose displayed by that gentleman
throughout his whole public life. The
esteem ana confidence of the people are
his IN the fullest sense won by his un-
filnching adherence to the right-~his
high moral character and his unobtru-
sive though steadfast mien. Mr.. Har-
rison's unobtrusiveness, it may be said
is not the least among his many com
mendable qualities; the fact that he is
not seeker after office but rather the
office seeks him, is, in the opinion of
the writer, n high commentator. That
Mr.. Harrison has at heart the interests
of the community he'represents will be
readily seen by the following answer to
a question asked by the writer, in a
conversation lately held with Mr.. H.. /:
81 came to Chincago," said Mr.. Harri-
son, "at a time when we we're limited,
comparatively speaking, in all but nat
oral resources, but of them we had an
unlimited supply | saw that the city,
and the state likewise ought to increase
to become great in population and in
wealth, and | told my confreres, and
the people, that it lay in our power to
make the state rich, populous, power
full and great-a field for the emigrant
who came to till our prairies, and for
the capitalist who came TO advance our
mercantile, commercial and railroad
interests. l have advocated all meas
ures of this kind that have risen in nv
time, and | intend to do it In the future.
It's 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 full
~ equal to his mental capacities, and
that Is saying a great deal, the only
medicine that gentleman ever used be-
ing the Great German Remedy, st. Ja-
cobs Oil. Speaking of that great pan.
acea used by all great men of the day
Mr.. Harrison said: Rheumatism
is about The only ailment that has
ever given me any bother, and that is
now gone where it will bother me no
more, In the neighborhood where /
live the people will have no other
medicine for rheumatism or disease
of similar nature than st. Jacobs Oil.
when | first found myself suffering
from the rheumatism my leading
thought naturally was to call II physi-
clan, but my neighbors all advised me
to try st. jacobs Oil, the Great German
Remedy.
Nov, | was not up to that time a
believer in proprietary medicines, and
l so stated TO my friends. but the
gentlemen who recommended that
wonderful medicine being among Chi
Cages first citizens, and men on whose
word | would place implicit confidence
on any question, led me TO believe that
Jacobs Oil must be good.
81 took the advice of my friends
who were benefited by the use of st.
Jacobs Oil. procured some Of it i'm
mediately, and dwell, the result was
that | have been recommending it
since ] found it excellent for the rheu-
matlsm. / have almost a bottleful of it
now at home, and | am morally certain
that / have no more rheumatism. The
Oil has been used il my family and
neighborhood with rem arkable success,
and ] think st. Jacobs Oil is an excel
lent remedy"
The writer, on bis return to tho Of
flee, took occasion 90 see how fnany
great men Of the day have been bene-
fitted by the use Of st. Jacobs OIL, just
out of curiosity. His research was
wonderfully productive. He appends
few of the names, thinking them APP
