TALK OF COL INGERSoLL IN CHICAGO.
Col. r. q. Ingersoll was seen yesterday as the
Grand Pacific hotel In Chicago, and in answer
to an inquiry about his health, said there was
no truth in the report published about his
throat that IL was perfectly healed, and he
would sOOn be as well ever. When asked
about The vote for Henry George OoL Ingersull
Said he Was for George, and before leaving New
York had paired in order 10 save his vote.
II hoped that George would be elected" ho
said, "as he wants TO do something. He stands
perfectly sincere, and, in my Judgment, would
have made AN excellent mayor. II the fepuhli.
cans had acted wisely they would have voted
mocracy. That is the FIRST duty for repu blicans.
The means are only OF q secondary nature. II
the republicans bad voted for George the next
President would have been q republican. IL
would have demoralized the democratic, but
now the labor party has no better feeling
party has been born. The sons Of Toll have APP
peaied TO the ballot. II is the most potent OF all
weapons. Strikes and boycotts are Of the past.
Labor stands with ballot In Its hands. and
with that weapon it will succeed"
LONDON COMMENTS ON HENRY GEORGE
The London Standard commenting on the
unexpected number Of votes cast for Henry
George asks New York what IL will do with the
that the French revolution ID about to be
repeated In America, and says 'such polls look
as IL the great nation was playing with edged
Tools WITH reckiessness dangerous tor Others
The London Times, commenting on the cleo
tion In New York, says: Ii shows that the
opponents OF anarchy and spolation have not
awakened an instant too soon 10 the perils of
the situation. Both the democratic aud repub-
lican parties have suffered, and the danger is
that these losses will tempt machine men 70
traffic with the promoters OF Georges candida
ture 10 advance 10 meet the demands of preda.
tory socialism. Enterprisng and industrious
Americans must look TO it lest the appeals OF

J. +. McElroy, late Northern Pacific
station agent at Heron, Mont, has been
convicted of embezzl,ng @l5.6o from the
company, and sentenced to pay = fine Of
$40 and costs, amounting in al to 12OO.
McElroy is supposed to have stood in
with several conductors, who we're sys-
tema,icaliy robb,ng the company. The
plan adopted by them, - brought out at
McElroy's trial, was for him to sell book
tickets, but neglect to write the name of
the station to which the ticket was good
upon the stub Of the ticket. The con-
ductor, instead OF sending these tickets
to st. Paul, would return them to McEl-
roy, and he would fill In the stub with
some station near Heron, and the con-
ductor and himself would divide the diff
ference IN the fares. The tickets would
then be destroyed. The officials Of the
company became suspicious, and put .
detective conductor on the run between
Heron and Helena. Another detective
was sent out, who purchased = ticket
from Heron to Garrisoa for $3.50. The
ticket was issued q above descslbed,
taken up BY the conductor, and returned
to McElIoy for the usual divy. At his
trial McElroy simply msde . desial.-
