though, and where is the man rash
enough to say that voters so ignorant
and so easily duped are worthy of the
right of sEflfagei How would the
business men Of Chicago like to have
their taxes levied and their state and
city governed by such concrete ignor

Republieanism is steadily losing
ground. Itsalliance with Malone and
reputation did more to ALLEVIATE hon
est lePuUlicans tiassa any tlring since slz<s
birth Of the party. There is class of
northern republicans here who are the
most valuable Of settlers--sturdy
farmers steady business men who have
invested their capital here. They saw
that Malone meant to rule or ruin,
and that the wrecking of the material
interests of the state was nothing to
him if he could get mongrel legisla-
ture to elect him to the senate and keep
him in power. Consequently these
men were almost to man nanti- Malone.

and children are as ardent partisans as
the men-began to turn democrats.

hostility Of all honest men to Malone
and so, year by year, the respectable,
section of the Republicans is losing
its youngest and best material, which
is SO much solid gain to the Democrats.
And now for Malone No man
who ever walked the earth has been so
execrated as he The passionate

virtue, and that is courage. His
