CHICAGO, Oct. ga copy of the fol-
lowing circular was yesterday sent to every
member of the police force, and probably
had a still wider circulation. Its author
ship is yet unknown and its object uncer-
tain:
Chicago, Oct. 22.-To my Brother Officers:
The 4th of May seems to have been forgotten
by some of the Office seekers. The red-handed
anarchist is about to show his political
strength. and try to accomplish with the bal
lot what he could not secure with the bomb.
Have our seven comrades died in vain? viii
a score or more of our. brother officers go
through life on clutches for nothi ng? No.
Let US show these red devils that the men
who stood before their bombs and bullets
will again show a solid front, and drive
them and those who cater to them
from the field with the ballot. But you
ask, what are we to do?' Go to the polls
the I'd day of November and cast your vote
against every candidate who has sought for
or accepted a nomination at their hands. Ask
your friends to do the same and if we sue
coed,
OUR VICTORY WILL BE COMPLETE
the 4th of May crowned by the I'd of Novem-
ber- Let US forget party--be neither Demo-
Gratis nor Republicans Let us be in the
future as in the past, auti-anarchists---and let
US take good care that after November a mong
honored judges the names of Anthony Halves,
Altgeld, Jameson, and above all, Prendergast,
who has been designated by the Arbeiter-
Zeitung as ''our judge and who has ever
been and now is the special pet of Spies &
Co., d o not appear. We, as citizens. cannot
afford to have one or more OF our judges
elected by anarchists. AS police officers we
should never be forced to try our cases be-
fore judge who owes his position to the
murderers of our brother officers. If this
meets with your approval let each one of
US appoint himself a committee of one to see
our neighbOrs and friends. and ask them to
help US, and by helping us to help themselves.
We are a thousand strong. Let US pull to-
gether and anarchy is doomed. Yours
A POLICEMAN.
The circular is supplemented with the
letters of the Republican and Democratic
nominees who accepted the nomination at
the hands of the So-called socialists.

In an interview with a socialist here he
says:
Mrs. Parsons is making over S1G0 a day
ABOVE her expenses, and the money is coming
to Chicago in aid of the supreme court effort
not only from her directly at the rate of $3.50
a week, but as the result of her enthusiasm
and earnestness, from indirect sources at
nearly double that rate. Capt Black and his
associate counsel are jubilant and are re-
newing their efforts with more zeal than at first
