1HE FALL CAMPAIGN.

Notwithstanding the boastfulness
and braggadocio of the Republicans
concerning the approaching fall cam.
pa,gn, 1t Is amusing to note that
most OF their calculation, Of success
are based upon difference, and dis.
sensions among the Democrats. Par.
ticularly Is this the case in the Con.
gressional campaign. In the Fourth
District, for Instance, Frank Lawler,
through some influence or other, has
been induced to run independent,
and his candidacy seriously threatens
the regular Democratic nominee. 1t
Is upon this ground alone that the
Republicans consider IL worth while
putting a candidate In the field.
While we are forced to smile over
the cxtravagant claim, that are made
by the Republicans on the one hand,
when we place these claims side by
side with their policy Of creating and
encouraging dissensions on the other,
there Is nevertheless a serious side to
the matter.

THE ABSURD TRACY.

Notwithstanding the representa-.
lions OF some OF the Republican or.
Gans who for some mysterious reason
have developed q bitter opposition to
Henry Wulfi, there is hardly u doubt
about that gentleman's nomination
for State Treasurer In the approach.
Ing Republican State Convention.
The talk about w. w. Tracy Is sim
ply absurd, pure and simple. Mr..
WulfI had his fight won before the
idea OF becoming q candidate had en-.
tered the head OF Mr.. Tracy. The
popular County Clerk will 20 down to
Springfield with the solid delegation
OF Cook County at his back. That
delegation has been specifically In.
structed to vote for Mr.. WulR al q
unit, and it certainly will obey its
instructions. Mr.. Wulfi has made q
thorough and effective canvass Of the
State and has received promises OF
support sufficient to insure him the
nomination on the first ballot.
As for the candidacy of w. w.
Tracy, it would be ridiculous were II
not for its supreme gall. This young
man would be unknown were 1t not
that he managed to get some notice
from the press as chairman OF the
National Republican League conven'
ton held in Colorado few weeks
ago. Previous to this his name was
unheard Of outside the region of pre-
cinct politics. Mr.. Tracy, however,
evidently believes the small nOtOriety

ROGER SULLIVAN A WINNER.

Judging from present indications
Roger Sullivan will have but little
trouble In defeating Philip Knopf,
his Republican opponent for the Of.
fee Of County Clerk. It looks as II
from the very beginning Mr.. Knopf
was doomed to defeat. He has not
the loyal support of his own party
leaders because of the manner In
which his nomination was rammed
down the throat of the convention.
Men like Henry WulH. Henry rs.
dohr, S. W. Rlderbcrg, Thomas Sen.
nott, Aid. Swift, John NJ. Smyth and
others declare that Knopi's nomina.
tion was due to sharp practice, and
they have plainly sulked and soured
against Knopt's candidacy II not
against the entire ticket. Then
again 1t Is charged that the colored
people have an old grudge against
Senator Knopf and will revenge
themselves by slashing him merci.

among the colored people arises out

THE POLICE AND THE STRIKE.

Now that the heat aud excitement
OF the great strike is over and affairs
are beginning to fall once more into
their usual channels, We can look
back upon the events Of the last few
weeks with a feeling Of thankfulness
that the people OF Chicago have been
enabled to pass safely through so
grave and dangerous crisis as that
which has been upon US.
In acknowledging that there was a
crisis, and In recalling the manner In
which II was met and overcome. we
cannot lightly pass over the services
Of the police force Of Chicago, which,
as usual on such occasions, stood
manfully in the breach and performed
Its duty molly. The chief laurels are
due to that excellent police officer,
wise leader, and brave man, 1nspcc.
tor Nick Hunt
II was In Inspector Hunts district
that nearly all OF the rioting on the
railroads occurred, and the general
spirit Of lawlessness appeared to have
centered. The very heat and turmoil
Of the fray was there, and right gal.
lantly did Inspector hunt respond to
the call OF duty. Riot was suppressed
without LOGS Of life and practically
without bloodshed, for Hunt Is hu.
name as well as brave; life and prop
erty were protected, incendiarism
was suppressed, and the public peace
was preserved, all through the wise
and capable handling Of the force
placed at the disposal Of inspector
Hunt by his Honor the Mayor With
his usual sagaclty, Mayor Hopkins
decided to intrust to Mr.. Hunt the
duty OF handling the situation Mt the
sent Of war, and developments have
proven that he made no mistake.
Nor did Mr.. Hunt content himself
with handling his men from the safe
seclusion OF his private Office, or
with sending his orders by tele.
phone or telegraph. Hunt was
at the head Of his men, baton
In hand, everywhere that riot or
disorder called for prompt measures
Of repression. When Hunt told his
stalwart fellows to charge q mob he
led the charge himself. When Hunt
led, opposition melted away, and yet,
during the whole trouble, he never
gave the order to Hre upon q crowd
Of civilians and not Q single death oil
the many lost during the strike
can be laid at the door OF Hunt or bis
command.
1t Is we'll for Chicago that at the
head Of lis police force 1t has such
fearless and capable men as Inspector
Hunt. The public will never know
what II owes to such men, for Ia
times like those We nave just passed
through, sleeple:s nights, constant
vigils and never firing and never
ceasing attention to exacting duties
are the necessary means by which
life and property are to be protected,
and peace and good order preserved.
Inspector Hunt, We repeat, has
done his duty nobly, and his conduct
on this trying occasion deserves the
recognition and warm commentator
Of all good citizens In years to come
the record made in these days Of
trouble by the brave Hyde Park In
spector will be something to which
his friends, and he himself, can look
back with feelings OF justiAable

Detachment of Regular Troops Ordered
from "A California Courtroom.
At Sacramento, Cal, during the
hearing OF writ of habeas cJrpus for
the release of three Dunsmuir strikers
before Judge Catlin, a detachment of
regulars marched into the courthouse
with the evident intention of taking
the prisoners. Judge Catlin immedi-
ately arose and called upon persons
who were present to resist any attempt
of the sold er5 to take away the
strikers. The excitement in the
courtroom was intense. Several of the
spectators reached for their hip pock-
cts and announced their determination
to follow Judge Catlln's Instructions to
prevent the regulars from taking away
the prisoners. Others securely barred
the door leading to tie co irt-room
and threateningly declared their in
tention OF re listing the regulars. While
the excitement was at fever heat the
Isl -tant District Attorney arose and
waved the regulars back. He then
commanded them to return to their
quarters at the depot.
