has disposed of this possibility for time at least
and il Is accepted rs certain hat the present Sem

| Mr.. iIarrsOns course IN connection with the
| Eighteenth Ward election frauds has condemned
him III tho eyes of the better element of his party,
and it is believed that this alone will effect his de-
| feat in tho caucus This great political scandal
| has made it apparent that he cannot expect with
| any certainty to be again elected Mayor. which
fact is cited the occasion of his desperation in
fighting for the SenatOrship. AT present Mr. Nor
rson appears to have the best prospects IN the
| Democratic caucus.
| The efforts which have been made to expose and
punish the perpetrators of the Eighteenth Ward
election crime have in way been
| lessened, and the gent1omen who have
| already Joined in the crusade represent the
wealth and the best element of the business com
munity. Probably never before in the history of
|
honesty and corruption in the management OF
elections. The fact is coming to be recog-
nizod on all hands that tho fight extends not only
to the perpetrators OF this particular offence but to
| the corrupt ring which has dominated county and
city politics for 80 many years. Every succeeding
| County Grand Jury has had npon IL mon who have
| been suspected and accused Of oilcia. misconduct,
| and the very persons who appear as the defenders
of those ACCUSED of the latest election fraud, even
| hT
| are the Aldermen and other persons against whom
tho suspicion of misconduct IN office, or OF tecelv-
ing benefit from corruption III oilce, has Dcen re-
| pcatedly directed.
