There was great rejoicing at the
Democratic headquarters because
Franklin MacVeagh called to assure
Mr.. Hopkins OF his hearty support.
1t has been announced frequently
that Mr.. MacVeagh would come out
for Hopkins, but as he had not ap-
peared at the committee meetings
before Tuesday there was some doubt
about the truth Of the announce
ments. Mr.. MacNeagh set those
doubts at rest lie called personally
on Mr.. Hopkins, congratulated him,
and said he was ready to work hard
for his election. Subsequently Mr..
Mac Neagh attended the meeting Of
the Campaign Committee in the club
room Of the Palmer House, over
which ex-Judge Lambert Tree pre-
sided, and he made a brief speech
which ended with n motion. lie said:

We are to choose a Mayor of Chi
cagO, not State or national eXeCu-
tive, not a State or national Legis-
lature. An Illinois statute defines
the duties and the powers of the May
orally They are entirely local. As
citizens of Chicago we are immedi-
ately and solely responsible for the
conduct of our home affairs.
Not IA National Issue
| stand here an enthusiastic ad-
mirer and supporter of Grover Cleve-
land, confidence in whose wisdom
and patriotism is not confined to the
party responsible for his election.
We are here to consider not a va
cancy in the Presidential office, but
in the City Hall. We are here not
to discuss affairs at Washington
which we cannot at this iuncture
either make or mar, but to consider
affairs IN Chicago
1t is made matter of reproach
against me that | am young. Per
haps my accusers will be glad to
know that | am aging rapidly.
1t seems to me half century since
l was called to this position of prom
inence
1t is said, moreover, that | am in =
experienced. AS an olliceholder |
am. My opponent has herein de-
cidedly the advantage But as one
acquainted with popular and party
movements, as one who has given
time and thought to local questions,
| have gained some knowledge of
Chicago men aud Chicago affairs If
it be your wish my experience may
begin ia downright earnest, and be-
fore the New Year | may have quite
as much experience of the executive
Office as the Alderman now occupying
it until the will of the electors may
be ascertained. Even then we shall
continue to have in the Council the
benefit of the gentleman's expert
ence.
My observation leads me to counsel
complete separation of the Police De
partment from political activities.
The partisan who is sagacious will
reach the same conclusion by diff
ferent process Of reasoning. 1t is due
to policemen themselves, as it is due
also to the community which sus-
tains the charge Of department
meant TO protect life and property
and preserve peace, that appointment
and opportunity of promotion shall
not be dependent upon party work in
the wards. Chicago needs police
force as free from political partisan
ship as is It's splendid Fire Depart
ment. Even a Mayor pro tenn. will
not use his brief power 10 appoint

than the rounding up Of votes.

tent in Chicago its government must
be broadly and literally conducted.
The maintenance of order is impera-
tive. But narrow intolerance of all
but native customs, needless inter-
ference with full personal liberty
would be worse than foolsh it would
be criminal.
Rapid Transit and Track Elevation.
Chicago terrtorlally is the largest
city in the world. To its busy com
munity time is money. Rapid tran
sit at cheap rates within its limits is
necessity, and as such must be en-
cOuraged, not retarded. Easy access
to every part of this vast city must
be fully assured. 1t is popular de-
mand which municipal authorities
nust heed. The point is vital to the
great West Division.
Human slaughter at grade cross
ings must cease. The convention
which placed me in nomination de-
clared;
"We pledge the party to bring
about the entire abolition Of grade
crossings and the elevation Of rail
road tracks We believe that the
enormous annual loss Of life makes it
absolutely necessary TO carry out this
pledge at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity."
Gentlemen, by this pledge l stand
squarely.
When is the earliest possible oppor-
tunity? As we value our lives we
must answer that it is now.
1t is not dozen years hence, dur
ing which Coroner's inQuests upon
the mangled remains of Chicagoans
killed at crossings will increase in
geometrical proportion. The time is
now, and | believe railroad corpora
tions themselves realize the inevita-

confirm them in that view. Let us
cure as quickly as grade crossings kill.
1t IS matter of common knowledge
that sore distress exists in the city
because Of the number Of the unem-
pIoyed. He is an arrant demagogue,
as cruel as he is selfish, who will say
to men thus circumstanced that if he
can have their votes he will give all
of them employment at the expense

Mayoralty Candidate John j, Hop
kins spoke to four Democratic audi
ences Tuesday night. Speaking first
at Horan's Hall, Halsted and Harri-
son streets, the Nineteenth Ward,
Mr. Hopkins went to Scandia Hall,
Milwaukee avenue and Ohio street,
the Seventeenth Ward, and then to
O'Calihans Hall, Lincoln and In
diana streets, the Thirteenth Ward
finally ending what the candidate
termed fair evenings work at the
Wigwam, Van Buren street and Oak
ley avenue, the Twelfth Ward The
Cook County Democratic Marching
Club was out in force at the Wig
wan.
At Horan's Hall there were 400
voters when Chairman Gleason called
the meeting to order and introduced
John ?. Hopkins, Mr. Hopkins
spoke about the platform of the
Democratic party and promised to
stand by all its principles. The
speaker said he was in favor Of TAX
ing the police force from politics.
He was in favor of rapid transit and
the elevation OF the tracks. He
would assist the unemployed If he
were elected, and see that they could
live until spring.
At Scandia Hall, Milwaukee ave-
nue. and Ohio street, there were 900
men congregated to listen TO Mr.,
Hopkins. Speaking to the foreign
element he said:
"If am elected Mayor Of Chicago
the Sunday picnics and concerts will
not be interfered with. ! believe in
the greatest liberty as long as the
rights Of others are not interfered
with. / have yet failed to find where
the police department helped po-
litical party and | am in favor Of
taking the force out of politics"
Mr.. Hopkins said that Mr.. Swift
had taken the Democratic platform.
He was welcome to everything else
that was Democratic, with the ex-
ception of the Mayoralty-that Mr.
Hopkins wanted himself.
O'Calihan's Hall, Indiana and Lin
coin Streets was the next stop for
the candidate. There were 200
Democrats present. Mr.. Hopkins
disposed Of national political issues
by saying that the big Democrats
we're able to take care Of the
wrongs caused by the mistakes
Of the Republican party. Then
he delivered his platform-indorsing
speech and accused Deacon Swift
Of stealing the Democratic thunder,
or rather the platform Speaking
about a non-partisan police force, Mr.
Hopkins said Mr.. Swift had promised
this and then appointed Shippy
whom he knew as a good officer, but
better where lining his own pocket
was concerned. Mr. Hopkins was in
favor Of publishing the pay-rolls not
In the papers, but by placing them
where any citizen who chose could
look no and examiae them.
At the wIgwam Judge Scales was
Chairman The Cook County pcmo.

Ten thousand people were packed
like sardines in the great Auditorium
on Wednesday night to greet Col
John P. Hopkins, the Democratic can
didate for mayor
AS harbinger of victory the meet
ing could not be misunderstood.
Judge Tree called the meeting TO
order, and in the course of his re-
marks, said John p. Hopkins came
to Chicago about thirteen years ago,
aud not finding anything else todo he
ftommenced to shove lumter for
in Pullman. In one week after
he set to work he was made local
timekeeper In two weeks he was
promoted to general timekeeper. In
a few weeks thereafter he was made
paymaster, and to-day he is success
full merchant and conspicuous per-
son in this community If a poor
unknown lad without friends to push
pim can make such a record as that
in' thirteen years he has had the best
of experience, the experience which
was acquired in the school of advers-
ity, and he stands before US as an ex-
ample at once of the genius of our
free institutions, which opens the
paths of advancement to every one
alike, and also of what pluck, in
dustry, intelligence, and character
can accomplish. He has that kind of
experience with men and affairs
which will be most useful to him in
She conduct of the Mayors office. l
.>how have the honor to introduce to
you as the chairman of the meeting
this evening Franklin MacVeagh.
Mr.. MacVeagh in taking the chair,
said
l thank Judge Tree for conveying
to me this honor, and this audience
for its courteous approval Our
friends, the enemy, are so opposed to
discussing local issues that the Re
publican audiences must be confused
to know whether it is a Federal or a
city election. They are SO unwilling
to recognize the fact we are electing
Mayor they are willing to claim the
prevailing panic is caused by tariff
bill which may possibly be passed
next June. But this attempt to play
vSpon the heartstrings of the thou
sands Of sufferers now to be found in
this city is objectionable. | am as
tonished that our enemy is willing to
recall such an unmerciful drubbing
as it got year ago. | am surprised
to see the Republicans, bruised and
bleeding, start up for another bout.
When the proper time comes they
will find us to be the champions of
the people of the whole country But
now we are the champions Of the peO-
pie of Chicago For the coming vic
tory we are strengthened by the great
economic victory of year ago, and
by the great example OF that greatest
OF American and most devoted Of llv-
. ing citizens-Groyer Cleveland. So
\ that we have no apology TO make for
our national position; but now we
stand on q Chicago position. The
Republicans avoid city issues because
they have no platform and are
blessed near being without a candi-

The Largest Hall in Chicago Was Packed

People.
The Next Mayor Makes Them Great Speech
Replete with Good Common
Sense

When you elect him as a business
man he will be polite, and when you
elect him as political man he will
mean business. He is a simple, frank
spokesman. 1t would never enter into
his mind that a public office was a
public trust. | have here little
evidence to sustain me in these views.
Mr. Swift says he is in favor of di-
vorcing the police department from
politics, and he has illustrated that
by the appointment of Shippy, who
may also be a deacon. But he has
a public reputation which spoils him
for a nOn-partisan police department.
The other piece of evidence is that
when we got up campaign commit
tee the Republicans got up one too,
and among them were some persons
who had expressed their opinion of
Swift in years gone by. One of them
has not gone back on his knowledge,
and stands to-day where he stood
then. His statement is that those
who will oppose Swift will be those
who opposed his gang methods in the
Eleventh Ward, and that a man who
has conspired with the worst people
in his ward to prevent honest men
from voting is a bad man for Mayor.
We are in different situation from
the enemy. We have both a pat
form and a candidate, and a candi
date who stands squarely on the plat
form. / think the Republicans would
be grateful if their candidate were
young man and had not lived here so
long. For Mr. Hopkins | can prom
Use he will squarely stand on the ad-
mirable platform of this Democratic
campaign. His election will mean
clear-cut advance in city government
in Chicago, | have now the very
great pleasure of introducing the
man who ought to be and will be the
next Mayor.
NJ Hopkins Speaks.
Mr.. Hopkins then came forward.
He was received with deafening
cheers and spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Fellow-Citizefs
Your cordial greeting moves me pro.
foundly, but, while | offer my most
grateful Acknowledgements, | beg you
