AS neighbors and friends, / thank you
most cordially and sincerely for this magnii-
cent reception. l thank you and through
you, the people of Mclean county, for the
heroic manner in which you and they have
ever stood by my cause. 1 have lived in this
county, as boy. and man, for
more than thirty-one years, and
your endorsement, to me at least,
means great deal 1 will say that we are
to be congratulated on the issues before us
this coming campaign, as they appeal to
knowledge and to reason, rather than to the
passions With strong arms and brave hearts,
with cool heads and patriotic impulses, let us
go forward to deserve and achieve victory.
General Elliott, of Princeton, who was
commander of Mr.. Fifer's regiment, the
Thirty third Illinois, spoke in part as fol
lows:
~ have peculiar interest IN this gentle
man. He belonged to that grand army of
heroes who, commissioned only with
the oath of allegiance and in
spired by patriotism utterly unselfsh,
stood, safe rampant around the
national flag. Those who planted it on every
rebel battlefield, carried it in triumphal pro-
ccsson through our streets and brought it
home with them with its fair face. In all
sober carnestness, Mr.. Fifer represents to
me the magnificent possibilities of American
civilization. To think that a young man
starting from the foundation upon which he
has built, can ever lise so high in the esteem
of the people of this state, speaks well for
American civilization"

publican national conference opened its sec
ond days session this afternoon. 1t was de-
cided that the different delegations should
select one from each state to be delegates at

America and as a public enemy which
should be abolished; the rapid growth of the
anti-saloon sentiment in many of the states
was highly commended; maintains that
the people should have the right
and opportunity of deciding how and
when the saloons shall be suppressed, speaks
in the highest terms of the republican party,
past, present and future, and demands of the
republican national convention that the plat
form contain a declaration of hostility to
saloons. A resolution offered by Albert

their support to the republican party when
ever or wherever it stands, for the protec-
tion of the home against the saloon, was

Report on this System of High License IN
Chicago,

Chicago,
CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. City Collector
Onahan in letter to the Mayor and City
Council regarding the operation Of the
Chicago high license system SAYS, While
it hiss not greatly reduced the number OF
saloons it has certainly prevented an
overwhelming increase. Bat for it be
thinks we would have upwards OF 5000
instead Of less than 1000 saloons. He
suggests remedies for defects in the law,
notably the CANCELLATION OF the provision
allowing the payment OF the $500 license
in installments, which in a measure de-
ieass the prime object of the law. He
thinks the II Sistance OF payment in
advance would reduce by seversl
hundred the present number OF saloons.
Mr.. Onahan further says that at present
upwards of three-fourths Of all the bonds
for 5000 saloons are signed by brewers
who likewise pay more than one-half the
licenses, and he questions whether it is
in accord with sound public policy TO
allow security for saloons to be in the
control OF a limited though powerful class
whose efforts are steadily diregtsd to the
extension and multiplication at Esloons.
He concludes by expresging the belief
that the tima is not far a4aixnt Fhen @
