the South Side trolley ordinances are
called up for amendment, and there

ties In interest may have an Oppor.
tunity to be present and to be heard.
The meeting should not be held Mon.
day. 1t has been the practice for
some time for certain Aldermen to
call committee meetings Monday to
discuss important ordinances, and to
rush the report into the Council the
same evening. Aid. O'Neill will do

The public Is deeply interested in
these trolley ordinances. There Is a
general demand for their radical
amendment In the interest OF the
city. They are important enough to
deserve free, full and FAIR discussion

The result Of the fight to large
extent depends upon the outcome
Of the contest In the courts
over the last apportionment. The
fortunes Of the day will turn upon
that and nothing else. The Repub-
lican party will make desperate eff.
fort to win on that issue. II they
win in the courts the scene Of combat
will be transferred to the floor of the
Legislative Assembly at Springfield.
There the fight will be short and
keen. Whichever party comes
out Of Springfield successful
will hold the State of Illinois
steady In its ranks for years. Just
now the Republicans have the best Of

changed before October. Neverthe.

the speech Of Judge Collins and profit
by It. From his words they may
learn that by hard work and not by
shouting they won in the past, and

WULFF IS 4 WINNER.

One Of tho most notable incidents
of the weeks outpouring OF Republic
can political feryor, was the magnia-
cent manner In which County Clerk
Henry WulR opened up his campaign
for the Office OF State Treasurer.
After having captured every vote Of
the three hundred and odd delegates
which Cook County sends to the next
convention, Mr.. Wulff
set himself to work to get the sup.
port OF the leaders from down the
State, and to this end he opened
headquarters at the Grand Pacific
during the love feast. He was EN-.
inently successful. Pledges Of sup.
port were given him by the score, and

urer will be the nominee Of the party

Now that the Republicans have
fairly opened up the State campaign
and that their candidate for the head
Of the ticket IL 10 the aeld In the
person Of that renowned political
gladiator Henry WulH, the question
comes pertinently, Who will be the
Democratic candidate? As yet no one
has been mentioned. The question
also naturally arises, VIII the Demo.
cratic candidate be a Cook County
man? Good politics would seem to
dictate such q choice.
II not, Henry Wulff will not only
have the field to himself at the in.
ception Of the fgat, but he will have

COLLINS SOUNDS ANOTE OF WARN.
INC.

Judge Lorin c Collins is perhaps
one OF the most forcible speakers In
the State OF Illinois. He Ia also q
philosopher He does not allow the
enthusiasm OF the moment to run
away with his judgement In matters
Of fact. The Judge told some whole.
some truths to the Republican "wheel
horses" at last Tuesdays gathering,
and among other things he said they
might as well attempt to turn back the
sun in its course through the heavens
as to elect a United States Senator In
Illinois under the present apportion.
ment. 1t must be admitted that the
present or new apportionment is ia.
yorable to the Demo cratic party, but
TIE EAGLE denies that II is unfair.
The districts are much more com.
pact than they were under the old ar.
rangement and that the division Of
Congressional districts In Cook Coun.
ty is emincntly fair must be acknowl-
edged In view OF the fact that the
Republican managers are claiming
three out OF the seven, and say there
is a possibility OF their sending four
men OF the Republican faith to Con-
gress from Cook County this fall.
Judge Collins, Of course, desires an
arrangement OF the legislative dis
tricts that would make the election
OF a Democratic successor to Shelby
n. Cullom an imposslbility, and be-

4 WORO OF WARNiN0 TO THE
WISE.

While The EAGLE comedies the
right Of every party to caucus for
united and harmonious action In leg.
islative and deliberative assemblies,
and while IL acknowledges the jus.
tice Of the publicly announced mo.
tives Of the recent caucus Of the Re-
publican members Of the City Coun.
Gil, there Is one feature Of the pro-
gram Of the Republican Aldermen
that cannot be commended or sup.
ported BY right thinking men.
This feature is the agreement to
make united aggressive fight upon
the Mayor. This paper does not be-
l.eve that any such policy will be
carried out, although some Of the
more hot-headed members may have
pushed the idea to the front and had
It adopted. It would mean q declara.
tion Of war between the two wings
Of the municipal government, and
would bring about q most injurious
complication In the administration
of the affairs Of the city.
Besides, In such q warfare the OK.
ecutive end Of the city administra.
tion would win. 1t yields the
power, owns the patronage, and
in all questions Of municipal legisla.
ton the single personality Of the
Mayor IL as good as two-thtrds Of the
members Of the Council. Mature
Republican leaders Of weight aud
good judgment, such as Aid. NJ. B.
Madden, John w. Hepburn, william
e Kent, and others, oppose the ides
Of lighting the Mayor and will squelct
It II the hot heads ever force IL to thu
surface.
The Mayor has made q splendid
record, and since his election has wor
the goodwill aud commentator Of
the community. The people are
with John P. Hopkins, and Republi
cans, any more than Democrats, can
not afford to make q party issue Of
an attack upon him.

4 CHALLENGE 10 COMBAT

There is no denying or blinking
the fact that the Republican party Of
Illinois Is In q condition Of unity and
harmony that 1t has not enjoyed for
years, and there Is also an evidence
Of enthusiastic fervor and vigor about
its leaders that usually bespeaks vic.
tory.
OF course there IL much cause for
this confidence and enthusiasm In
the prevailing conditions throughout
the country, which just now are un.
favorable to the Democrats, but there
is nothing absolutely certain either
about Cook County or Illinois. Yet,
II one wee to Judge frsm last Tues.
days "love feast" one would feel
that the Republican leaders had
quite made up their minds that ILL
nois would this fall wheel back into
the Republican column, and Cook
County distribute its fat offices among
the candidates OF that political faith.
Never has 50 much enthusiasm
marked q Republican gathering OF
the kind.
The love feast was held at the
Grand Pacific, and the meeting wal
addressed by many able speakers,
among whom were Ex-Governor
Fifer, Senator Cullom, william e.
Mason, Congressman Cannon, ex.
Judge Collins, and other men Of
national reputation. Nearly all Of
the gentlemen who spoke predicted
Republican success. But one ap.
pesred to be doubtful, and he made
Q sp eech which IL full of food fol-
reflection on the part OF Democrats
~ we'll % Republicans
Taken on the whole, the Republi.
can love feast was an unqualified
success. 1t was q bugle note Of
challenge to the Democrats. The
Republicans have begun the fight
early and we'll. The Democrats
must answer soon, and when the
echoes Of the Republican call have
been caught up and returned by the
Democratic answer, tho attention OF
the nation will be fixed upon what
promises to be . historic party
struggle.
