ing to the Daily NelOs, IL do not care much

says: "What reliance can Mayor Harrison place
in an agreement signed by an ex-convict, who,
to secure his release from the eastern peniten-
tiary OF Pennsylvania denies his own affidavits?
1t seems about time to reiterate to the mayor
OF Chicago that man Is known by the CON-
pany he keeps"
CHICAGO WAS NOT SURPRISED.
The Times says this morning, editorially:
"There is, of course, nothing new, and perhaps
1t must be added nothing startling, In alder
manic transactions of this character. The cits
Zens OF Chicago have become accustomed to it.
The average Chicago alderman, like his proto-
type OF Gotham, has reduced the black ckmailing
OF corporations TO a fine art 1t is well under
stood that every corporation which goes 10 the
Chica % councils for privileges faVors must
be prepared to pay handsomely therefor. Chi
cagO was not at all surprised at her aldermen
selling themselves, hut she was little sturned
by the sang yroid with which they advertised
their own venality."
