is no such thing as standard stable for

even suggests that "a multiple standard

GOVERNOR ALTGELD.


Judge King, in his letter published
this morning, speaks in the highest
terms of Governor Altgeld. Notwith-
standing all the abuse that has been
heaped upon him, there can be no
doubt that the Illinois governor is one
of the great men of this generation
He has demonstrated that he is thor
rights of the people; and his COM
handing leadership in his state is a
testimonial, both to his worth and to
his ability. If he has made any mis-
takes they have been of the head, not
OF the heart; and that the people be-
lieve in him is attested by his i'm
mense personal popularity.
Though Governor Altgeld is him
self rich man, he has not hesitated
to strike vigorously at the special
privileges enjoyed by the wealthy
classes. He realizes that the future
welfare of the country depends upon
impartial application of the rule de-
signed to give equal opportunities to
all and special privileges to none, and
in his official career, as well as in
private life, he has shaped his course
in harmony with the principle in
volved.
People often wonder what has won
such unbounded popularity for him;
it is simply his record, which shows
him to be, not a make-belieye but
an actual friend of the people.
Through his fundamentally the iniq-
uities surrounding the assessment of
property were laid bare. 1t was shown
that the fabulously valuable property
in the heart of the business district
of Chicago was assessed at only
small percentage of it's value. while
the farms of the country people were
put on the list for nearly as much
as they were worth. The discrepancy
appeared everywhere. Mansions were
assessed at very little more than the
modest homes of people OF small
means. Wealth escaped a large pro-
portion of its, share of taxation and
the burden was shouldered upon the
backs of the poor. BY his treatment
Of this problem alone Altgeld won tens
of thousands of supporters in the
state; and his record throughout is
in harmony with the work done by
him on the subject of taxation.
1t is perfectly natural for such men
to be heart and soul for Bryan in this
contest; and it is perfectly natural for
the people to follow the leadership
of Altgeld with. that faith and con-
fidence that arise when a leader is
found strong of brain and true of
heart.
