OLD DEMOCKA4iO hNEhA-o'
Chicago Oct. 10 (speciaD.-The announcement is
made to-day that The Chicago Times Is ABOUT 10
pass into the control Of Carter H. Harrison ChcaSo's
sx Mayor. ex-Congcssman. and Just now an aspirant
ior the Presidential nomination of the Peoples party
Ths consideration is said TO be 100000 for the entire
plant and good WILL the building being the property Of
Bauher Blodgett of Grand Rapids, Mich. verita5ie
sensation Las been created By the reports that TINS
somewhat pyrotechnic statesman and millionaire Is
to purchase "The Tines and a lively time is an
s.Gpated in the newspaper world. General con
sternaton Is created In the ranks Of aspiring Demo
cratic leaders of Illinois, Mr.. Harrison's recent re-
nuncaton Of that party and establishment OF an In
apendent Democracy with free silver, sunday beer,
ard protection 20 American Industries as their shlo-
hoeth is not forgotten Of course with Carter H.
Harrison in control OF the senior Democratic organ OF
the state, the only result can be forever divided
Democracy or BOURBON party entirely dominated by
Chicaso's great cx Mayor. For ten years Carter
Harrison and his adhercnts have divided or dis
turbed every Democratic state convention of Illinois,
and his prophecy that the denunciatOn Of Protection
meant defeat 10 the Democrats Of the Nation Is re-
called by its yeFihcat51. For many years Carter H.
Harrison and William r. Morrison have been the
anttheses Of Illinois Democracy, and the leap into
Journalism by Ar. Harrison that the great
FreeTTsder Will not have the instructions Of the IL
hnois delegation u the National Convention next year
II is but six years since the followers Of Harrison
prevented horrisons election 70 the United states
ate al springfield, and, by prolonging the contest,
nnaly maze IL possible FOR the Republicans to re-cect
John A. Logan.
There Is another enemy high in the leadership Of
the Do"io'rauc party State and National whom Carter
harTlson desires TO punish. That man Is John NJ

contrary 70 al estimates which previous elections
might have Justified. IL showed that but for Pame,,v
interference, Carter H. Harrison would now be Mavor
OF Chicago and the poll books would mark his majority
a. 10000. This interference in Chicago politics Or as
Harrison puts it, violation OF the principles Of Home
Rule Will be bitterly regretted by the new Senator
ere the spring conventions meet
To personal friends Carter Harrison has announced
mat II is his intention 10 make The Tines the most
enterprising paper In the West and his great wealth
makes this quite possible. Latterly the Protection
