Tho workingmen are advised to put their
employers to the test, and are told that 1t will
cost them nothing. This is simply advising
them to take the first step In what the oppos-
tion doubtless hopes will develop into serious
trouble. / would advise the workingmen to
vote according TO their conscientious opinions.
"If they have any business TO bepeHt

q political storm sweeps over the country. But
am not surprised at this development In tho
Bryan campaign. II has been evident for some
timo that it was the intention of the Bryan
managers TO create labor troubles part Of
their plan OF campaign. and this is open
step In that direction. They would precpitate
q general strike before the election. Men who
will connlve to destroy peaceful relations exist
ing between capital and labor are none too good
TO do even worse.
This circular is only an incident in cam
paign whose whole drift 30 far as the opposi-
tiou is concerned has been and continues to be
an attempt to array the great industrial masses
OF the nation against their employers rather
than the discussion of the real issues. which are
vate debts, protection. and good government.
l shall be very much surprised II tho working
men Of the country do not resent this insulting
appeal to them"
There isn't man at the headquarters of the
political chieftains who is not aware that 1t is
the plan of Brypn. Jones, AltEeld, TillmRn. and
Debs to end this political battle in riot and in
surrection ir their utterances can bring about
that result. Altgeld is desperate beyond meas
ure. He Is constantly with Jones. AltGeld
knows he Is beaten for reelection for Governor
of Illinois. He may deny and deny, but he has
candidly admitted that he will be beaten by 5o.-
600 in the State. and that ho is now trying to
save the Legislature which is TO elect n sue
cessor to United States Senator John NJ. Palmer.
This Is the cold unvarnished truth But AltGeld
will fail in his present purpose. The Republi-
cans will have the Legislature as surely as The
sun will be printed to- borrow morning Altgeld
is to be beaten at every point
Bryan is to pass Sunday resting with "Buck"
Hnrichsen. AltReld's Secretary of state and
chief henchman. Nobody talks Bryan in this
State. He Is to be showed under by 100000
majority and more. The Illinois people have
got after these conspirators against law aud
order.
Another private utterance of Altgeld shows
just what the conspirators are up to. He said
to one of his friends. who wanted to know II
free silver could win In Illinois:
NO. no. Well lose the State by l75. 900. but
the seed has been sown."
That is exactly what Altgeld told his friend.
For this reason tho Republican national cam
pagners are pouring in hot shot all along the
line. The sound money Democrats working

Unique among the events of the present cam
paign is the trip of the ex-Governors OF Illinois
through the State. The first OF the three days
journey was yesterday, and along the entire
line they left q wide streak of enthusiasm.
patriotism, and Republican doctrine. The six
men who have served in the hi CHEST capacity in
this State are John l.. Beveridge. r. j. Oglesby
Joseph W. Fifer. Shelby NJ. Cullom. John NJ
Hamilton. and John c. Smith. With them is
ex-Lieut-Gov. Lyman b. Ray. Hamilton and

John r. Tanner. the candidate for Governor
against AltEeld. stood in the firing line during
the hot days of the rebellion and gained the
distinction that comes to the private soldier
who bears the brunt of the battle. They all
have been greeted at every station at which
they stopped by large and enthusiastic crowds.
1t WAS great wave of Repubicansm that fol-
lowed that special train across the broad
prair!es OF Illinois. 1t was a wave that on cleo
tion day will roll over the enemies of the ma
tional honor.
Judge Tuiey. to the CONSERVATION of All geld and
his followers. accepted to-day Altged's decla-
ration that he didn't believe in government by

ferinR with the Popocrat parade on the night OF
Oct. 81. Even Altgeld's lawyers. who appeared

were angered by this dose OF their own politi-
cal medicine. They openly declared in court
after Tuley's decision that tho Popocrats would
parade in spite of thunder. the courts. and tho
police. even IL riot was to come OF it.
In rendering his adverse decision Tuley Sc
verely criticised the action OF the Popocrats In
bringing their case into chanccry court. In
refusing the Injunction Tuley said;

Ing 1t. political party applies TO court of

"A court or chancery is asked for an in3unc-
tion to that end. do not believe in enjoning
that manner. and certainly do not believe in

of the Government is separate and Independent.
and any attempt OF the judiciary 10 control the
executive department 10 simply an invasion
and nubverslon OF that part of the Government.
II this were permitted the result would be a
government by the judiciary, the only arbitrary
branch Of the Government"
Altgelds spirit was shown when his two
lawyers. Alexander J. Jones and William
Thompson. declared in open court that the
laws OF the land would uphold the Popocratic
paraders.
Every law OF tho land gives us the right to
repel by force any act npon the part OF tho
police or any one else whereby IL is sought 10
prevent us from the exercise of our lawful
right. :" said Jones'
The law backs us up in resisting by force IN
reference upon the part OF the police in our
proposed demonstration" echoed Thompson.
