was brought to them by IN ex-member
of the police force under Mr.. Cregier who
wanted more tickets printed, saving that
the office where the first lotw were printed
had run out of cardboard of the proper
color
AS to the alleged use of money, it WAS
known to the Harrison committee that
two Of The best known boss gamblers
were out with money until O'Clock in
themorning of the day of the conven-
tion to see what could be done to fix up
delegates against Harrison, and when
they found that they would practically
have to buy one-hall of the convention
they gave it uP rs n hopeless job and
weEt home in disgust. The committee
have the affidavit of Central Commit
teeman and chairman of delegation
that he was offered s., 50O TO de
liver His delegation against Harrison
and declined the proffered bribc. The
candidate who bellows fraud lou1est had
men on the floor of the convention with
S25,00C to put in practice the Hcsing
Jake Rehm methods which character
we their whole record in politics. The
only other place where money was used
so far as Is known to the Harrison com
mttee, was III the Sixth and Seventh
Wards, where judges and clerks of the
primaries were bought right and lett
carly in the morning before the primary
polls were opened.
Over 1000 votes were polled ut pri-
rnaries held under the strict provisions of
the state law, 531 Of the 6s1 delegates
inthe convention voted for Mr.. Harrison.

To return to the newspaper OPPOSITION.
1t is but natural that the trust organs do
notwant arrival newspaper publisher and
editor put at the head of city affairs. The
animus of the HeraId's attacks are now
pretty plainly understood. John K
Walsh, who conducts the Herald and
Post rs adjuncts to his banking and
brokerage business, was always an
enemy to Mr. Harrison on account of
adverse business interests. In The Times
the Herald sees a dangerous democratic
rival If Mr.. Harrison should be vindi-
Gated and elected Mayor of Chicago The
Times would at once be looked upon as
the leading and only democratic organ OF
the northwest. Furthermore John X.
Walsh's bank would be deprived Of any
possible chance of drawing interest on
city funds.
The borrowing mendicant ofiiceholder
and placeseeker Barney Niebidg is unfit
for the great position of City Treasurer,
bis friends having had to make good his
trusts heretofore The candidate for City
Attorney, McShane, is a vealy boy. Al
lerton's record shows him to be a skin
flint and schemer. The illiteracv Of the
rich pork-packer is making him the
laughing of the very people his
nomination was meant to please. Such
is the ticket the trust is forced to present
to the voters
The Staats-Zeitung, as a newspaper
vehicle, has ever been an anomaly. After
years of effort to push itself among an
intelligent. wealthy and thriving con
stituency il has a circulation of about
$500 eop'ts. That its name and appar-
ent prestige has bIcn profitable to it's
interests is well known and has been the
subject Of common remark among news
paper men and politicians for years. II
has grown TO be an adage that the
Staats-ZeituHe issa trader and is purely
and simply 'on the make" IL considers
that taking pay for supporting a eandi-
date is perfectly legitimate II has taken
republican money and democratic money.
( Its support Of Garter Harrison for mayor
two years ago was paid for at the rate
OF 81 line for everything said in his
favor and two columns day were paid
for in addition. Four years ago, when
Mr. Harrison was running for governor
in the Cleveland campaign. he was ap-
preached by Chairman Barnum Of the
National Democratic Committee who
informed him that the Staats.Zcituug
could, for the sum Of S2j 900, be brought
TO support the Cleveland ticket and Mr.
Harrison for governor The National
committee proposed. as they were short
ofiunds, that Mr. Hurrison pat mp one
halt OF the money. Mr. Harrison replied
that while he would appreciate the sup
port OF the StaHfs-ZcituHg hc did not
think it would be- woffhxl . 500 iuCash,
and that as what money he had put aside
for campaign expenses was already as.
