publican, and Mr.. Patton has always
been stanch in that faith. He is a
hard party worker, and when.in the
was one of the most use
full members from Cook County. He
would make an excellent Senator.
~.
Senator Noonan's campaign for
Congress is rapidly assuming the
phase of boom. The splendid
Springfield record of the Senator, to-
gether with his known devotion to
his constituents, are points which
make his nomination something to
be desired.

Col Joseph X. c. Forest, the able
journalist and accomplished "Old
of the Chicago Daily News,
is muck talked of for the position of
United States Sub-Treasurer at Chi
cago 1t is doubtful whether the
Colonel would accept, but if he would,
the financial element of the COM
would be nightly pleased.
His financial articles years ago were
the talk Of the continent, and since
his Democracy is unQuestioned, his
fitness for the place goes unchallenged.

1t is reported on good authority
that there will be another vacancy
on the Superior Court bench soon. A
well-known judge is contemplating
resignation to accept a position as
general counsel for a great copora-

A person who reioiceS in the cog
nomen of Nick Swallowdown, and
who lives in the Twenty-second
Ward, is trying to get himself talked
of for North Town Collector or some
thing of that kind. The North Side
gullet may be tough and capacious
but it is hardly tough enough to
"Swallowdown" a dose like this. An
attempt to make the voters of the
Twenty-SeCond Ward take Swallow
down" for alderman resulted in the
loss of the ward to the Democratic
city ticket for the first time in years.
