DDS Of the South-Si d Lake Car Company.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Elaborate systematic jury
bribing and perjury, whenever necessary to win.
In all suits brought against one of the largest
corporations in Chicago, was apparently shown
to-day to have been carried on BY the agents of

for years past. The corporation is the Chicago
City Railway Company, which operates the sx-
tensive system known as the South side cable
road Sumner G. Welch. the company's Slain
settler, and William Starkey, attorney for the
company, are the persons most directly involved.
Welch has been on trial soms days for a partic-
ular case of alleged jury-ixing. He is the per-
son for whom c. B. Holmes, the president of the
company, and so we'll known throughout the
country in connection with Young Mems Chris
tian Association work, attempted to make out
an excellent character, and while be-
ing sharply crossexamined regarding Welch's
connection with himself and the company.

and others In saloons. In one instance, when
there was no other resource. WEIGH had solicited
him to 60 on the stand and testify in a case
about which he knew nothing. WEIGH outlined
the testimony desired.
While Bond was testifying thus damaging.y

To the Chairman and Committeeman
of the various Township Central
Committees Of Pope County:
GENTLEMEN: On next Tuesday,
the sixth day of November, the cause
of good government will call upon
you to perform one of the duties of
free American citizenship more init
mately connected with a preserva
ton and perpetuity of your rights
and liberties than any other act con-
nected with your relations to the
government under which you live.
The cause of good government for
the next four years will then be in
your hands. 1t is contest in which
you all have an interest The con
test is between government by the
people, Of the people and for the peo-
pie" and government by a party
which favors Capitalization of power,
legislation for the favored classes
and trucking to the monled syndi-
Gates of tue mIllionaires. Hence the
cause of good government for not
only four years, but for the next
FORTY YEARS may depend upon the
exertion made this day for the sue
cess of the party of the people; for
the near past has demonstrated that
where the party OF Capitalization,
once gets its grasp upon the public
Offices they bend everything to the
one object of retaining power. /
would therefore urge the Importance
of active and diligent WORK upon the
chairman and each of the committee
men. See that every voter of your
party attends the polls. Especially
see that the aged and infrm, and all
who from any canse are liable to not
get to the polls, ARE TAKEN THERE.
Scrutinize closely all tickets placed
at the polls for the use of voters and
see that each of the electors names
on the democratic ticket are there
correct, and that the name of Hon.
c. R. Breckenridge is there as Con
gresham tor the second district.
See that the polls are opened
promptly and as prescribed by law,
and particularly that the poll books,
ballots and certificates by the judg
es and clerks are propealy made up
when the polls are closed, and
promptly and safely returned to the
county clerk.
Give this day to your country and
no fear need be felt for the grand
success of the election in another
four years of good government.
Respectfully, J.M.HARKEY,
Chairman Co. Cen. Com.
