ALTGELD ON REMOVALS.

The removal Of Postmaster Red
dick M. Ridgely for "pernicious
activity" in the late campaign calls
forth the following from Governor
Altgeld:
"Mr. Ridgely has made one OF
the best postmasters that ever filled
that Office. He was thorough and
attentive in the discharge Of his
duties. In this campaign he un-
fortunately followed the example
set him by Postmaster Hesing, at
Chicago, and by the whole crowd Of
Federal appointees from Washing.
ton, and made one or two speeches
but he made them on the opposite
side from what the other fellows
did. He was respectful toward the
administration he represented, but
advocated the election Of Mr.. Bryan
"Now he is discharged for vio
lating the civil service rules while
the other Federal officials named
are commended for violating the
same rules. This simply shows
the fraudulent character Of the
present Federal administration. II
is not and it has not been honest in
a single thing that it had to deal
with.
"From the days that the capital
was located in the valley of the
Potomac down to this time there
has not been such a collection Of

around in high places as there has
been at Washington during the last
four years.
''Some bugologist could render
the cause Of science invaluable SER
vice by just buying the whole col
lection and keeping them as speci-
mems of little things"
"What do you think Of the claim
Of Frank Jones that there were 5O,-
900 gold Democrats in Illinois?"
"That is one OF those claims that
makes images smile. Look at the
a moment. Two years
ago these so-called gold Democrats
we're in our party, or, as they would
say: we were united then We
had no such terrible amount OF
Doodle and irresistible forces t.
meet then as we had to meet this
year, and yet we did not elect q sim
gle Congressman in our State at that
time, and the Republican majority
was nearly 10000. This year we
had to meet a combination of ad-
verse conditions and forces such rs
never before confronted any politi-
cal party and probably never will
again, and these gold Democrats
we're against us and worked with
The enemy, and yet we have elected
At least five Congressman and re-.
1uced the Republican majority by
nearly one-third.
"This shows that these men are
curse to the party they are with
and help to the party they oppose.
So long as they were in the Demo-
cratic party it was a neutral party
a party with both its hands and
feet tied; but the moment we got
rid Of them the party developed the
strength Of a giant, and it willsweep
this country"
