MURDERER PRENDERGAST TALKS

CHICAGO, Oct 29.-Chicago today is
overwhelmed with sorrow and shame.
Ber citizens mourn for the man who
stood closer to the peoples heart than
any other VINO has lived or died within
her boundary lines or has been i'll any
way connected with the city'S growth
and progress. The feeling of shame is
that Just at the close of the greatest
and most glorious period Of her NUM-
cipal history, just at the dawn of
brighter period than she has ever before
experienced, the dark crime of murder
should have made red blot on the
record. 1t was thing no man could
prevent, a calamity that no human in
tellect could foresee, but the crime is
done, and the stain and disgrace OF
having her chief executive shot down is
part of history now. The act Of
maniac, or at least weak-minded
youth, has plunged Chicago into grief
and mourning just at the period OF her
greatest triumph. From all ranks and
CO0QlJlOQS OF men LlerG COIllCS
BUT ONE VOICE,
and it is that of grief. If Chicago's spirit
scared too high, if her ambitious soul
reached out beyond those things to
which mortal man may aspire-and her
daring hand was ever at the edge of the
universe, it has been temporarily
nh Tho hnaUU and If
struck Chicago to the heart. Carter
Henry Harrison was without question
the most popular man among the resi-
dents of Chicago. He was the most
widely known and best beloved of ali
Chicago's sons. Political enemies have
time and time again sought to read the
riddle of his popularity, they have
sought to decry his fame and wean his
friends from his side. They utterly
failed in all. There is touch of nature
beyond what humanity knows, and it is
called genius. This Carter Harrison
had in his dealings with his fellow men.
He drew them to him, and he held them
to the last by tue force of his genial
nature, and
THE UNDISCOVERED SOMETHING
which all men felt who came in contact
with him. His enemies were as bitter
as his friends were warm, but they were
the foes of his methods, not the foes of
his personality. He had in his frame
more of the condensed spirit of auGac-
ity, endurance and activity that is char
acteristic of Chicago than any other
man. He was nearer the embodiment
of the Chicago spirit than any other
man. The people knew this, and held
him closer IL their embrace than they
have ever held another, and it will be
long before another man usurps the
place that Carter Harrison held in the
heart of Chicago. The feeling of per-
sonal sorrow, which all citizens feel, is
not stronger than the mortified civic
pride which burdens them down. Her
man of men. the one whom she honored
most, was foully slain: and the great
city which has done so much, and which
for six months has been the most promi-
nent place on earth, was utterly help
less. There may be for Chicago days of
greater pride, of higher glory than any
she has yet beheld. There can never
be day of deeper grief, of more poign-
ant sorrow.
