as liable as any public man To errors of
Judgment or of action. His enemies
even acknowledge that he gave the
city the best business adminstra it
ever had not excepting that of his prede-
ccSsor the Hon. Nj nroe Heath. There
have leen cries for reform and many
changes of administration have ensued,
all ot which have been denounced by the
trust newspapers as conspicuous fail
ures Mr.. Harrison is as anxious for
good municipal rule, honest improve
ments, civil-servico regulated depart
r1ents and clean streets asany othertax-
paying citizen. He does not believe that
there are no other citizens who can bring
about the desired improvements and
reforms. but he does believe that in the
light of his exp, fiencc and readiness to
assume command that, aside from the
united and harmonious interests of his
party, he is peculiarly well adapted and
qualified to serve as the Worlds Fair
MAYOR of Chicago,
In the opinion of the Democratic party
OF Chicago, whose municipal platform IS
clear, straightforward and progressive,
no other man named for the office pos
sesses tLese qualifications III SO great
degree. The Leople of this city know
Carter II. Harrison and are abcto Judge
of his good qualities as well as those his
opponents pronounce bad. The present
failing and helpless administration is
evidence of what will again follow from
choosing an untiicd and inexperienced
man, no matter how high his standing
or how good his intentions may be. No
matter wl,o heinavor fnight be he would
be besieged by the ofhce,scekers. lfa So
called non-partisan lie would I've handi-
capped by an advisory committee" or
the demands and influences of the inter
meddling and dcspotic newspaper
trust.
/ That this would be the case is fully IL
lustratcd by the treatment the trust"
/ have accorded the Hon Lyman !. Gage,
than whom no more honest, modest and
courtly gentleman honors lis with his
citizenship. When he refused to be made
the creature and victim of the newspa-
per ring. three OF their organs turned
upon and rended him most shamefully.
! This IS an example of what would have
happened from the same source had he
ever entered upon the duties of Mayor.
After coquetting with the newspaper
trust for choice, the republicans have
finally placed a candidate in the field
d. whom the trust organs forced upon them
and are supporting periorce They take
the only course and last desperate resort
to save themselves from repudiation and
odium.
Republican gang polit clans are
managing the Aleiton farce and are
swallowed whole by the unprincipled
trust - George b. Swift, whom the
trust organs were dcnouncing not long
ago for his gang" methods Of organiza-
tion and for his rotten tunnel contracts
under Mayor Roche was the immacu-
late chairman Of their hybrid conycn-
ton, and is managing the Alerton
distribution Of Stock Yards and Wash
ington race track Doodle.
That defeated trickster cx-Coroner
Hertz and the able spois organizers
/ Chris. Manner and the rcpudiated Billy"
! Lorimer are the most active Allerton
! leutenants How long since is it that
the trust organs were excoriating Ma
mcrism' and "Hertzism" and Lorimer
watcr-offce frauds?
T What abuses existed and what faults
were found when Mr. Harrison was
/ Mayor were faults and abuses Of svs-
I tenn and which have grown with the phe-
nomcnal growth of the city and cannot
be attributed to Garter Harrison They
still exist. though three changes Of adj
ministrption have been tried and found
wanting. Mr. Harrison is as competent
and able 10 reform these abuses and rs
willing 10 make the effort as any man.
] AZ any rate it must be through the med
ium aud sturdy direction Of one of the
I organized regular parties and not
i through any irresponsible citizens or
/ people movement all of which have
shown their iuCompctcucy in this city
and elsewhere
