glory. He was president OF the city
council. secretary OF the library board,
member of the court house commission.
He only needed 10 be made chairman of
a board OF public works TO secure TO the
full the opportunity for putting into
practice those czar-like traits which are
his most prominent characteristics.
And he did his best to saddle that in
Sfrument OF corruption upon the city.
What does he do now?
Now be Tepudiates his connection
with the board Of public works idea.
He denies that he had anything TO do
with it. or that he WAS interested in it.
He denies that he favored II. What
can be expected of suen mana man
who yesterday controlled his every pub
lie action by the question, Nv i'll
l get ANYTHING out Of it, and who to-
| day, denies that he ever raised his
voice in favor Of an unpopular move
| ment? That board Of public works
scheme was more than an unpopular
enterprise: il was a most dishonest
| scheme. And z. NJ. johnson was its
sIaunchest friend. He now realizes
| that the people do not admire men who
deliberately coDSpiTe tOrob them; hence
his repudiation Of the board of public
| works sc. eme.
No one who read the papers of year
ago. and their comments upon the
proposition to establish board Of pub
| lie works. will doubt that such board
| has been. wherever it has been in oper-
alton, medium for the most outrageous
| lobbeTy.
These things should be considered by

| They should ponder well on whether
/ he is the pr0per man to represent them.

A circumstance which shows what

ticket in the Thrrtieth: The colored
/ church out on Fillmore avenue had been
hired for 4 meeting announced for to-

was broken. But the meeting viii be

The Farmers Alliance men in the
ThiTtieth district are taking stand on
the legislative ticket which will react
against themselves. They know John
son and have canvassed his record
thoroughly. They know that he is not
the man 10 send to the senate. They
| are against him in q body. Yet they
| are doing their best 10 elect him BY
throwing ali their votes for the Alliance
| candidate, who stands no chance for
| election, when, by voting for T. @. Nc
MILAN. they could send a man to the
senate who would represent them.
Mr.. Mcmillan is the Democratic can
didate. He is. moreover, a man in
every way entitled to the support of all
men who desire 10 send the best
men 10 the senate. He has no
shady political record 10 explain. He is
q man OF the people. A carpenter, he
has by his own industry and intelli-
genee advanced himself to the front
rank Of East side business men. He
knows the needs of the Thirtieth dis
trict and the claims of the 8orkingmen.
He will countenaIce no scheme to give
several millions Of dollars to q corpora
ton which has already grown rich of
the privileges donated it by the city.
He is the man who should be sent to
! the legislature
