THE TRIBUNE ventures TO express inc nope
that all three of Won will be there yourself. so
to speak in an especial manner. For You
three and especially you. have done more 10
clear the horizon and light up the whole imam
cal situation than all the political orators and
nolitical platforms Of the las campaign. II
has been very dazzling illumination and the
whole country has enjoy ed it. 1t may he SAID,
of course that great many people 40 ho' YET
clearly understand why the fact that silver Is
selling for 10 cents an ounce when II ou"h' 10

clad of it, Chicago has had good many
sensations this summer, and very likely Is get

feel confident that once they get you on top
on the conspiracy and crime against ~ 20

And if we might venture a suggestion. Coy

more than two weeks since You announced that
the war had actually begun. that our National
liberties were in danger and that they should
be maintained if blood flowed to the horses

financial conspIatOrs have bled freely. and
there have been great many dccapltatonS
in the Pos;ofiicc and Treasury departments.
