Altgeld's Hold on the Masses

THAT the Democrats intend making
a strong fight is evident, said leading
and enthusiastic Democrat who stands
high In Their council. Judge Altgeld
has great hold on the masses of the
people and record, not only as an
honest man, but as a champion of
their rights, that cannot be attacked.
Illinois has never seen his equal as an
organizer. Every school district in the
state will be canvassed with a thorough
ness only equalled by Tilden's canvass
of New York. General Palmer's cam
paign was one of education, and now
with Altgeld and the organization we
have we shall surely carry the state"

glory upon the field; men who have won
renown in the councils of the nation and
OF the states; men eminent as jurists:
men distinguished in the varied walks
of life whom we delight to honor. You
have not relegated them to the rear.
You have not overlooked them. You
will assign them all to duty, and you
will look to them with as much conf
dence, as much hope, as you ever have
before.
Gentlemen, thirty years ago or nearly
SO, when standing upon the battlefield
of Gettysburg, Lincoln said that the
question involved in that battle was
whether any government conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the principle
that all men are created equal can long
endure upon this earth. Applause. |
The great question that will be involved
In the coming campaign, gentlemen,
will be whether democratic institution
can long endure among the children of
men, whether we shall have republican
institutions in fact, or whether. while
preserving the form of republicanism, we
shall have that worst of all govern
ments, an oligarchy, based upon corrup-
ton and masquerading under the mantle
of holiness. Cheers Whether we
shall see repetition of the spectacle of
having the chief magistracy of this
great nation literally bought with cor
ruption funds, and then to have the
beneficiary of that great crime attribut-
ing it to the workings of divine provi-
dence. [Cheers and laughter
Now, gentlemen, for thirty years the
party that is opposed to the Democratic
party has been in the control of this ma
ton and of this state. They have shaped
all the legislation upon our statute books
during that time. Being the legitimate
descendant of the Federal party and
the Knownothing party, for thirty years
the Republican party has been carrying
out the principles of these old parties
and the people of America are today
reaping the harvest-a harvest of trusts
of monopolies, and of illegal combina-
tions [cheersl; harvest of taxation and
corruption, harvest of farmers who
find the mortgages upon their farms
growing larger and larger, of mechanics
who find it harder to pay for their
homes, of laborers who find it harder to
get bread for their children. LAP
plause.
Now, gentlemen, when we look to our
state we find the same principle has
been at work there; the aristocratic prin-
ciple that the few have right to govern
the many; the principle that 81 am
holier than thou" We find, among
others, laws that interfere with the pri-
vate affairs of individuals and the sacred
rights of men. We find law upon our
statute books which takes from the par
ent the right to educate his child accord
ing to the dictates of his conscience
[cheersl; law which creates state
supervision over schools toward which
the state contributes nothing; a law
which placed it in the power of every
local school board, no matter how igno-
rant and spiteful its ac ton, to interfere
with and harass some of our best citi-
xens. Now, gentlemen, this law is in
harmony with the principles, of the Re-

The question is sometimes asked whether
women are or are not meaner than men
Some say that they are less generous in
giving tips" to servants and others. If
this be the case (Which is doubtfuD, per
haps the reason is because the money they
have generally belongs to some one else,
and they are too conscientious in the man

expense. Men appear to be more generous

PLATED SILVERWARE.

A history of the Plated
Silverware business of St.
Paul may be of interest to
buyers who are not fond Of
paying exorbitant prices.
When the representative
of the Derby Silver Com
pany was in St. Paul solic-
iting orders for holiday
goods, he stated to us that
his company would only sell
to merchants who would
sell the goods at a profit OF
at least 40 per cent. Now
a profit of 40 per cent may
be all right for a slow mer-
chant. It's too much. for
US. We built up the largest
Dry Goods business in Min
nesota by selling goods on
a smaller margin of profit.
Therefore the proposition
was declined with thanks.

A VETERANS CAREER
Ended by the Death, on Friday,
of Cant. Callahan.

OF Capt. Callahan.
David Callahan died at his late resi-
dence, 100 Grove street, Friday after
noon at $50 p. m. at the ripe old age of
seventy years. Mr.. Callahan was vet
eran OF veterans. He not only served
in the Mexican war, but was in the
army at other periods, and shiS entire
time of service, although not continu-
GUS, covers over twenty-one years
in his life. Probably there
state who has seen more of army life.
Mr.. Callahan was born in Ireland, but
came to this country very early in life.
In 1910, then only eighteen years of age,
he enlisted in the army and went out
with Rlnggold's battery to the Seminole
war. This made an artillery man of
him. In 1915 he re-enlisted, and went
into the Mexican war, going as sergeant
of ordnance in the siege train battery,
under Maj. Huges. Then again he re-
enlisted and served the regular term OF
five years, when he received an
honorable discharge, accompanied by
very complimentary note from Maj.
Wells. But Callahan had learned all
there was to know about handling guns
at this time and his service. was valu-
his dicharge he was kept in the en-
ploy Of the ordnance department at
Washington for three years, although
not regularly enlisted. After that in 1859
he came to Minnesota, called here
by the death of brother, and, liking
the country, settled down, but not for
long. The civil war broke out, and the
old soldier was eager to bear a hand.
He volunteered his services and thew
were accepted. He was given a place
on Gen. Sibley's staff, and for three
years and two months had charge at
Fort Smelling of the ordnance and was
armorer of the district. He equipped
every Minnesota regiment, after the
Fourth, that left for the front, discharg=
ing all the duties devolving on him with
the skill of a veteran trained
for the work; and thus did his soldier
days end.
Mr.. Callahan was an old comrade in
arms OF Gen. Sherman, having served
with him in North Carolina, after the
close OF the Florida war, in the Third
artillery. Sherman was then young
sprig of second lieutenant. A veteran
of so many years of service has had
many personal adventures of very in
teresting nature. There is not space to
recount them here, but one is given: 1t.

The Daring Deeds OF Lawless-

iZe Citizens.
Two Particularly BraZen
Cases Reported to the Po-
lice Yesterday.
DR.. Pierce Held Up and
Robbed in the Fourth
Street Tunnel.
A Highway Robbery in the
Evening, Corner Of Third
and Cedar.

Desperadoes, footpads, burglars and
everyday thieves still hold the fort.
They have held it SO long that people
would by this time have become accus-
toned to midnight robberies and bur-
glaries and almost resigned to the stu
alton but for the fact that each succeed
ing crime seems to be more bold and
desperate than the last one.
Friday night DR.. Thomas j. Pierce,
who lives on Summit avenue and has
offices at 81 Jackson street. was called
TO place in the eastern part of the city
and took the nearest route, which was
by way of the Fourth street tun-
mel. AT a point short distance
this side of the tunnel he was
attacked by two men. They knocked
him down and beat him till he was un-
conscious. Then they went through
his clothing at their leisure, securing
his gold watch, valuable diamond stud
and about $1,000 in money. Dr. Pierce
was seriously cut and bruised about the
head. the indications being that the
hIghWaymen kicked him with their
boots aud intended to make an end of
him. He is now confined to his bed,
and may not be out for some time. No
information of the matter comes from
the police.
At 1880 last evening as Walter r.
Frye, clerk in Schleik's shoe store on
Third street, was passing the corner OF
Cedar and Third streets he observed
three men standing i'll huddle short
distance down the east side of Cedar.
They seemed to be in SqUabble, and
ne approached near enough to discover
that two OF the men were going through
the pockets of the third man. who was
very drunk. Frye instantly started down
Third street and called an officer. The
officer reached the place just as the men
were becoming aware of the fact that
their operations had attracted attention.
The officer captured one of them, and the
other ran. Later he captured him also.
The drunken man was taken to the sta
ton with them. His name is James Nc
Cam. The names given by the men
who are accused of going through his
p0ckt Is are ID. harrington and Mike
Walsh. What, if anything, they secured
is not given out.
Saturday night a week ago Joseph
Balfor, living at 81 Lyton street. was
held up at the point Of Il revolver at the
corner of Park avenue and Sycamore
street. 1t was $3.50 in the evening. He
was suddenly confronted by two men,
and one of them stuck revolver under
his nose and the other one knocked him
down. Then they ritled his pockets.
He had but S1.40 with him, and this they
took and departed.
