A Gallant Soldier During
the War of the Re-
bellion,
He Has Won DsathIsSS LauTeS as a
Progressive Cit zen in Times
Of Peace.

Cook County demands the nomina
tion of Franz Amberg for State Treas
urer. With him the Republican party
can surely win. Without him the re-
suit of the canvas will be in doubt.
There is no question about his ability
as vote-getter, and if the Republi-
can party is after votes this year it
will nominate him.
Mr.. Amberg has been leading
member of the Republican party in
Chicago ever since the war He cast
his first vote for General Grant, and
has voted the Republican ticket ever
since He has not only been hearty
supporter of Republican principles,
but has contributed his money for party
purposes.
Mr.. Amberg was born in the State
of Bavaria, Germany, in 1897. His
father was a wagonmaker. He was
able to give his children the benefit Of
an education. When young Amberg
completed his studies he was placed in
his fathers shop, where he learned the
trade of wogon-malser. After serv-
ing his apprenticeship, young Amberg
decided to come to America and Sc
lected Chicago as his destination. He
worked at his trade until April lS,
1861, when he enlisted in Hoff-
mann's Dragons, company or
glnized by Frederick Schambeck.
This company afterward became
| quite famous for bravery, and,
with Thieleman's cavalry, formed the
nucleus of the Sixteenth Cavalry,
which was organized in June, 1868
The company was composed of ninety
five young men, all Germans and all
Chicago boys their ages ranging from
20 to % years 4 better company
never marched out of Chicago. Capt
Schambeck was ordered to report Ina
medntely at Bellaire. Ohio on
reaching their destination they wer,

THE NOTORIOUS LIE8.

What the Leading Labor Paper of Chicago
Says About the Professional Politician.
The Rights of LABOR, in its issue of
June II, paid its compliments to the
notorious Lieb in the following article
County Commissioner Herman Lieb
has denounced Messrs. Schilling,
Burke, Nelson, Seib, Connors, ct al,
as corruptionists, as boodlers, as being
in the pay of the Republican party be-
cause these gentlemen exercise the in
alienable privilege of carrying their
sovereignty under their own hats or
in other words because they choose to
attempt the organization of an indie
pendent political movement that Lieb
thinks may work 30 the injury of the
party that he is at present allied with.
Lieb ought to be the last man
in the world to ascribe impure
motives to men who fail to agree with
him politically. For more than quar-
ter of a century, almost from the mo-
ment he landed on the shore of Amor
ca he has been a pap sucker. He
sucked Republican pap as long as that
party could stand his persistency, then
he changed his camp, and has been
sucking Democratic pap ever since
He is a pap sucker Of the most con
temptible variety the professional
foreigner He never held political
Office on account Of his ability or merit.
for he has neither except of the most
mediocre character. A majority Of the
men engaged in the Independent move
ment are as much superior to Liob, in
all that constitutes purity of motive
and nobility Of political character, as
Lieb imagines he is superior to others
The trouble with Lich is, that he is d
candidate for recollection 20 the Board
of County Commissioners, aud fear.

damper ou his prospects iurre.eloction.

Perhaps they will.

Their policy is to Induce" the Demo
Gratis by the liberal use of money to
put up a weak candidate who will be
an easy prey for the fourth-term Con-
gresham.
The latter was so tickled with him
self and so afraid to meet his constitu-
ents that he skipped out to Washing
ton by the first train that left after his
nomination was made.
The Democrats have two grand men
to choose from, either of whom would
be elected by au overwhelming ma
iority.
One of these is. Hon Louis Nettle-
horst, President OF the Personal Rights
League aud one Of the most popular
Germans in Illinois.
If nominated as an independent and
indorsed as a Democrat he would beat
Adams by at least 5000 votes.
The other name is that of magnif-
cent national character, Gen. John c.
Black, who lives in the Twenty-fourth
Ward.
Chicago would have great Con
gresham in Gen. Black, and if nomi-
mated he would triumph over Adams
as surely as the sun rose upon cleo
tion day.
If either Black or Nettlehorst is
named against him, Adams will need
more than the Willis men to pull him
through.
Adams blow-hard bummers are too
confident.

Support,
Believing that the Almighty
Dollar Is All that's Nee

Mr. Adams can be elected without
the aid of Willis friends. He owns
this district, and the boys who were
with him at the primaries will elect him
at the polls"
Thus spoke one Of George E. Adams
prominent ieutenants last Monday
afternoon to a number of politicians.
Several men in the crowd who heard
this remark, had made up their minds
to support Mr.. Adams after he was
nominated, bat such disgusting Ian
guage changed them from friends to
opponents of the Congressman at once.
Coming as it did from one of the hand
lers of the Adams barrel, the remark
was significant
George e. Adams was nominated
for Congress over George S. Willis
by the free use of money at the prima-
ries and after them.
Mr.. Willis friends, whom Mr.. Ad
ans supporters say they do not need
in the present campaign, are the flower
of the Republican party of the Fourth
Congressional District Here are some
of their names:
Graeme Stewart.

BUYING HIS WAY.
HE Tribune Asserts that Adams Nomina-
tiOn Was Procured by the Use of Money.

The Tribune Asserts that Adams Nomina-
tion Was Procured by the Use of Money.
The Chicago Tribune is stanchlv
Republican. 1t can, therefore, be ac-
cused of no Democratic bias in pub
fishing the following, which appeared
in its issue OF Friday morning, June l3,
the day Of the Congressional primaries /:
The contest at the primaries in the
Fourth District this afternoon will be
one of the sharpest known in the his
tory of Cook County politics. Mr.
Adams friends have determined that
if profuse expenditure of money can
secure him the nomination he shall
have it. For days money has been
flowing as freely as beer on the North
Side in aid of the fourth-term Con-
gresham. The heelers have had it
all as they wished it, The stuff" was
up and the fluid was flowing
The principal distribution was made
yesterday in the Sheriff's Office, where
some was also placed last Tuesday,
and the recipients are we'll known.
1t is stated on excellent authority
that John Weisbrod a committeeman
from the Twenty-third, received large
block of "fves" for distribution among
the Adams men few days ago. When
called on to deliver up" yesterday, he
refused. The fellows who "got left"
threaten to do Weisbrod up to-day.
They surrounded his place yesterday
like lot of hungry wolves. Senator
Garrity is another of the persons who
were intrusted with stuff for Adams,
and John Lambin a third, all for use
in the Twenty-third. Those patriots
have the reputation of hanging on to
the stuff, and it remains to be seen
whether they will make good their
reputation to-day.
The Sheriff himself will attend to
the distribution in Adams own ward.
1t is rather hard on the fourth term
Congressman that his neighbors can
only be got to the polls in his behalf by
the use of money, but his adviser, Mat
son, thinks that it is absolutely neces-
sary.
In the Twentieth the Doodle distri-
button has been intrusted to Homer
Squires and George Reich They are
the persons to whom the heelers will
have to look for the stuff"
Col Thompson, Jake Hessemer, and
Henry Hall are the disbursers in the
Twenty-fourth Ward. Col Thompson
wanted to disburse $50 yesterday tc
Mr.. Louis l.. Wadsworth, but the lat.
ter is a Willis man, and tartly de-
clined the gallant Colonels offer
Then the Colonel went off to console
himselfwith Billy Dessler, the sub-Po-t
master, who IS ont for Adams despite
the la'ter's attachment to ciyil-seryic,

1t is the general opinion, notwith

Adams, that Mr.. Willis will secure

will be nominated on the first ballot

/ taste oil a good many battles, and did
some good fighting. In September,
1862, they were sent down to Mary
land and became a part of General Me.
Clellan's command, They were in the
battle of South Mountain. in which en-
gagemcnt l,56S were reported as killed
and wounded ON the Union side. Their
next experience was in the battle of
Antietam, one of the desperate bat
ties of the war, the total losses of the
Union side being over 1900 and the
ConfedeIates ~, 500.
After these engagements the Hoff-
mann Dragons reported to Col WV.
Averill, who led the raid into Tennes-
see, Afterward they were in most of
the engagements in which the Six
teenth Cavalry participated in fighting
Longsueet's and other commands un-
der lee. They were mustered out
July IL, 1864.
One of the first things Franz Am
berg did when he returned to Chicago
was to become naturalized, and the
next thing was to join the Republican
party. His political sympathies
had always been with the Re
pubhcnns. He opened flour and
feed store on West Randolph street
and remained in that business until
shortly after the fire, when he went
into the livery business with John
Hoffman on the West Side. When
Hoffman was elected Sheriff, Mr.. Am
berg purchased his interest in the
business and has since conducted it
alone. Mr.. Amberg has always taken
an active interest in the affairs of the
Republican party. He was for years
one of the leading lights in the old
Ninth Ward Club, and was its treas
urer for more than ten years. Two
years ago he moved to the Thirteenth
Ward, where he still resides He has
been n delegate to numerous State
and county conventions, and is
well known to the Republicans of
the State. Shortly after Gov Oglesby
took his seat he appointed Mr. Amberg
a member of the Board Of Commis-
sioners Of the Northern Penitentiary
at Joliet, and he filled the position
with credit to the State, as well as to
his party, for four years, always work
ing in the interest OF the tax payer
In 1889 he was nominated by the
Republican city convention for the
position of City Clerk, and was elected
when every other man on the ticket
was defeated He ran 5000 or 5000
votes ahead of his own ticket.
Mr.. Amberg has always been an
active member of the German socie-
ties of Chicago He organized the
Orpheus Singing Society, and has
been its President for a number OF
years. In 1881 he presided at the
great meeting of the Northwestern
Singing Societies, which was held in
Chicago, and made the arrangements.
1t lasted week, and closed a triumph
ant success the day Garfield was shot.
Mr. Amberg also organized the Chica-
90 Singing Societies, and is now the
President of the organization. He also
had charge Of the big German CON
cert given in the Auditorium last
winter
Mr. Amberg was married in 1867
and has two children.

A European Trade.

BERLIN. June 2i.-During q pro-
longed sitting Of the Bundsrath, Chancel-
ior Caprivi explained the aims of the GOV
ernment in concluding an Anglo German
agreement relative to African territory.
He dwelt on the immense importance Of
the strasetlc value of Heligoland and re-
called the fact that during the war Of 1870
it was necessary to detach large force to
guard against possible French landing
at the mouth of the Wenr and Elbe Rivers
and lay submarine mines to protect the
water approaches to Hamburg and Bre
men. He produced an opinion from Won
Moltke that Heligoland could be so forti-
fed that it would be equivalent to large
increase in tho Germany army in the
event Of war.
The report thst England spontaneously
offered to cede the island il in direct vsri-
ance with the reports here. Tho opinion
of the people Of the island does not count
with either government Both know that
the inhabitants are opposed to annexation
to Germany; both on account of the dread
of military service and Of customs regula-
tions Germany will make concessions
on these points for twenty years.
Leading Hamburg journals regret tho
granting to England of the protectorate
over Zanzibar, because it will place tho
whole trade in the hands of the English
East African Company.

distinctly amid the frantic cheers with
which the Liberals hailed the announce
ment of the governments narrow escape.
MIR. William Smith, misnamed the leader
Of the House, is already aged and exhaust

atmosphere, 90 disastrous to tho Tories,
the Liberal leaders thrive vigorously.
1t has become commonplace to speak Of
Mr.. Gladstone's marvellous vitality. but
nevertheless 1t never fails TO strike one -
marvellous. Mr.. Smith is nearly thirty
years Mr.. Gladstone's junior, but he looks
