new cases having been reported. The
afflicted ones have all recovered.
The old Wolfe residence, corner
South Olive and Idaho streets, is be-
ing repaired.
The devotional meeting of the Pine
Street Westminster league was slim
ly attended Tuesday night and the
sudden cold snap Friday caused a
small attendance at the meeting of
the blackberry Street Epworth league.
The cold and disagreeable weather
also kept a party of young folks of
the Hill indoors, Friday night, who
contemplated taking in the dance at
the asylum.
A brand new electric light sends
forth it's radiance from the corner of
Wyoming and South Olive streets
now, having been put in place Tues

Walter Rose and a friend were out
hunting Friday and had very good
luck.
There is a dangerous ditch caused
by the recent rains on Dakota street,

streets, which needs the attention of
Alderman Dreiss. The ditch is wash
ed fully two feet deep and is very
dangerous to vehicles at night as well
as inconyenient at any time. 1t needs
repairing Immediately, by all means,
before the city has some trouble on
its hands in the way of a damage

A CHRISTMAS TIP.

The thousands of Texans who came
from the South Atlantic states find
much pleasure in reverting to the hap
py days of long ago when they were
children, and often they awake at
night to recall those scenes Of yore,
which gave to life a charm, and which
now come in later years as visions of
joy. There is a tender spot in ev-
cry heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the
dear old spot are solaces in the weary
weary struggle we make day by day
to build in our new Eldorado a home
to which our children in future time
will turn, as we turn now to the old
place where our loved ones in the ev-
ening Of life await the final summons.

either the big six or the business tick

ness"-no candidate can have his
name on a ticket unless he pays the
sition.
The sum that each candidate pays
goes to make up a corruption fund to
be used to influence or to buy up the
ignorant and irresponsible voter, and
to secure the services of unscrupu-
lous agents inside and outside the
polls. These assessments are in sin
gle instances, enough to pay all the
legitimate expenses of canvass for
any strictly party ticket The fact
that these campaign funds reach the
sum of thousands, is enough to warn
our honest people that such a condi-
ton of politics must corrupt our whole
system of local administration-men
who buy their offices consider that
they own them, and the public inter-
ests are made subordinate to private
interests; men who pay out thousands
of dollars to secure Office expect to get
even at the public expense.

Why He Announced Subject To A
Republican Convention.

why lie Announced Subject To A
Republican Convention.
In answer to the question, "why do
you announce your candidacy for
mayor subject to the action of Re
publican convention" Mr.. Newcomb
said to reporter of the Light: As l
have been asked this question by a
great many of my acquaintances,
Will use this opportunity to explain.
L have a right to cal myself Re-
publican; all the years of my manhood
have been devoted to the party, be-
lievinG in its patriotism, and in its
policies, as being best for the coun-
try. / have ever been of the opinion
that the best results are obtainable
through political parties-that politics
constitute the basis of good citizen
ship and the application should be
made to all offices left to the decision
of the ballot. If it is proper to leave
the choice of a president, a governor,
a judge to the nomination of political
partieS-it is also proper to leave the
choice of a mayor, and every other
elective officer. do not consider that
It is essential or at all necessary for a
man to belong to any political party
in order to be good and efficient Off
Ger, but the fact that he holds to dis
tinctiye political views is to his credit,
and does not disqualify him as pub
lie officer l believe that no political
party in a state can amount to any
thing that does not apply its agency
in local elections.
/ have desired to see the Republican
o,.tx, 20 fho SIN
party worthy the support of the best
citizenship.
l am certain that an impartial re-
view of the history of our local cleo
tons, county and city, for the past
16 years will convince every intelli-
gent citizen that the abandonment of
party politics has not produced good
results. The people were honest in
their effort to rid the county and city
of party rings when they combined at
different times to elect independent
Peoples" Reform" and Business"
tickets, but no sooner than their eff
fort but had expended its force, the
same old ring got in its work, until
finally, tikets are entirely made up and
dictated by the officeholders combina-
tons, city and county, and the people
have nothing to say about it. 1t is
now 'city half VS.. county court
house" or it is inside plots and con-
spiracies to further the interests of
certain officeholders by combining
both factions, as in the late election
when two blanks were left on the city
hall ticket.
The whole situation can be summed
up by plainly saying that we have the
most corrupt condition of local politics
ever known in the history of our city;
it is only necessary to cite the last
election to make this evident to ev-
cry man who observed the way that
the election was conducted from the
inception of the tickets to the count of
the ballots.

who wants to be elected thinks he

otto citizens, and made them almost for
get. as they shouldered their guns and
fell into line for the Unien, whether they
had previously styled themselves Repub-
licans or Democrats. These men, in the
absence of a satisfactory Democratic can
didate on a sound platform, will not con-
sent to surrender one-half of the potency
of their suffrages for the sake Of over
refined ideas of political consistency.
They will want to put their votes where
their votes will do the most good as
against Populism, reputation and ma
tional dishonor. They will FIRE their bal
lots straight at the common enemy, even
though the ballots be labeled Mckinley.
1t would be a piece of political folly
amounting to crime to divert the atten-
ton of this class of Democrats from the
main question, and to jeopardize the re-
suit of the election, by setting up mop
perfume claims to a partisan allegiance
which, in an emergency like this, is NOM
inal at the best.
Mass every honest American vote on
one candidate representing honest
money, the nations honor, and the inten-
ton of this people to preserve the gov
eminent and the institutions which their
fathers handed down to them. Waste
no ammunition when Populism is shrek
ing it's battle cry, and anarchy is lurking
close behind in the rear with torch in
hand.
McKinley's personality is nothing in
TINS contest. His previous political affili-
atoms are nothing. Accident has decreed
that he shall stand for the time for some
thing a thousand times more precious
than any party badge.

Senator Palmer out.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 11.-Senator John
M. Palmer has come out openly against
the Chicago platform and nominees
Bryan and Sewall. He said today that
he personally knows of 500 Democrats
in this (Sangamon) county who will not
support the ticket. and he thinks there
are twice that number who will not. He
continued:
mo Democrat, so far as ] have been
informed, will support the Populist ticket
nominated at Chicago. My own plan is
that the Democrats of Illinois, in CO.
operation with Democrats Of other states,
call a convention and nominate candi-
dates. / favor local tickets in all the
congressional districts and in all the
counties in order to preserve the Demo
cratic organization.
Having thus stated his views as to tho
course that ought to be pursued the
senator was asked if he thought there
was any danger to be expected from tho
silver movement. He replied:
mot a particle. Mr.. Bryan will re-
ceive the support of the srmi-P opulists,
called Democrats. the real Hopulists who
are soon to hold convention IN st.
Louis, and those fellows out West who
have no conscience in this thing, but who
own the silver and want to sell it. We
ought to have fought them a year ago,
and | wanted to do it. but the people
seemed indisposed to move in the mat
ter. We will fight them now, however,
and give them enough OF it.
There is nothing in tho platform but
nee but mouth. He is Il good talker, he
is a fine talker, but when that is said it
is all said. At the same time think he
is the right sort of Il man for q conyen-
ton of that character to nominate. He

EDITOR DANA'S ADVICE.
Democrats Should Vote for M ckin-
ley and Not Sacrifice Prin-
ciple to Party.

New York Sun: The political reasons
for not putting up an hOnest-mOney can
didate this year on genuinely Demo
cratic platform are strong and obvious.
The nomination of another Democratic
candidate would contribute to the per-
luctant to vote for Mr.. Mckinley, but
it would accomplish nothing else. And
this method of voting for principle only
would surely imperil the result in many
close state.
Better far to vote for principle in
a way that will count.
Every Democratic vote cast for Will
liam Mckinley as the representative of
honest money and the nations honor and
the preservation of democratic institu-
tons against the wild horde now pre-
pairing to attack them, will do just twice
as much service for the common cause
as can be done by Democratic vote for
a third candidate standing no chance of
election.
Let every Democrat who appreciates
the magnitude of the present crisis keep
this fact steadily in mind: His vote for
Mckinley and Hobart is worth double
his vote for the best Democrat that
the sane part of the party could put up
as protest against the inquiry consum-
mated at Chicago.
Is there any sincere Democrat who,
understanding all that the election means
cut his vote in two this year; to deprive
his ballot of one-half it's efficiency?
1t will be said that there are such
Democrats. 1t will be said that there
are Democrats who can persuade them
selves under no circumstances to cast
their votes for any Republican candidate
for President. Perhaps that is so. Let
them register their protest against Chi
cago by refusing to vote for presidential
electors. Let them concentrate their
partisan enthusiasm upon the state and
local tickets. They will help in this way
to defend the nations honor and the
continued existence of the institutions
which the regulators and the revolution
lists are assailing. They will help, it is
true, only half as much as if they voted
for Mckinley and Hobart, but they
would help not one particle more
than that by bestowing their votes upon
seund-money Democrat nominated for
the sake of their personal comfort and
political consistency.
On the other hand, there are hundreds
of thousands of Democrats, if not mil
lions of them, who see in the present
crisis a call to duty only less urgent and
inspiring than that which summoned to
the front thirty-five years ago our patri-

The Building Associations Pass Resolu
tions on tae Money Question.

At the annual meeting of the United
States League of Local Building Associa-
tions held in Philadelphia, July %, the
following resolution on the money ques-
ton was adopted:
The United States League of Local
Building and Loan Associations, in con-
vention assembled, declares: 1. That it is
the sense of this meeting that the interest
Of all shareholders of building and loan
associations in the United States de-
mands that the present standard of value
upon which our monetary system has
been based since the resumption of specie
payments in 1873 shall remain unchanged
and inviolate. 2. That we believe that
the interest of every class in the COM
munity, and especially those of the great
wage-earning class, imperatively de-
mands that the present standard of value
whether coin or paper, shall be equal III
value to every other. 3. That patriotism
demands that the dollar bearing the
mint mark of the United States shall be
the equal of the dollar of the most adj
vanced nations and entitled to full faith
and credit all over the world; and to
that end it must be maintained free from
all suspicion, debasement, or reputation.

What has been said about the merits

not be other reasons why silver should

What other reasons can there be!
Well, such reasons as those given with
respect to the debtor class as against the
creditor class.
Name some.
1t is said that the country for the past
twenty years has been gradually getting
into the hands of what is called the cred
itor class, which is alleged to be very
small proportion of the population. while
the great majority have fallen into the
debtor class and into the absolute con-
troll of the others. Now it is alleged that
these creditors, as rule, are harsh and,

Then the country is gradually getting

bankers are the representatives, and

energy out of the people and enslaying
them. That is the argument then, is it :
Well, you are from Rockford, Ill. Let
us take the situation right in Rockford.
That city, as we understand it, is the
second largest furniture manufacturing
place in the world, being next to that of
Grand Rapids. Now, if what is said
about the terrible class of creditors be
true, and if what is said about the awful
condition of the debtor class be true, the
trouble must be as apparent in Rockford
as in any other place in the country, and
there the people who have created the

practically no concern. It is illustrated
