The Chicago Times expresses the
opinion that the nomination of Fifer for
governor of Illinois by the republicans,
makes it possible for the democrats to
judicious nomination. The Illinois CON
yention was run entirely by machine mer
and machine methods. Republicans who
yet believe that the republican party
stands for something more than holding
the Offices, were run over and tramplsd
under foot by the "ofiice or bust" crowd.
THE story that Senator Ingalls, had set
his heart on a com plimentary vote from
his state delegation at Chicago may or
may not be true, buS he Is not likely TO

slipshod manner in which private pension
bills are rushed through:
To the Senate
return, without approval, senate bill
number eight hundred and thirty.eight,
entitled "An act granting Il pension to
Mary Sullivan"
ON the first day of July, 1886, an act

called the whole platform dodge" that
would do it. The aim of the resolution
was to straddle tho temperance question
and bamboOzlo the prohibitionist5 and

THE Milwaukee Sentinel il still yawp
ing about tho benefits to workingmen of
tariff tax levied upon them to add to
the fortunes of millionaiTes. Possibly
some workingmau can rise up aud chuck
his hand down in his breeches pocket and
produce 80 cents worth of solid silver !
proof that he has been benefited to that !

mont of trusts; if so the Sentinel should
get the fellow ON his feet pretty quick. |
The awful strides the wealth of this
country has made, toward al getting in
to the hands of a few monopolists in the |
past twenty five years, ought to satisfy
workingman who knows anything or |
can see anything of the wonderful bcne-
fits he gets out of Il tauT for trusts.
