| IT. 1t were not for the ludicrous side
OF this story the picture It conveys
would be n pathetic one. The appeal
20 the silver clubs" Of Chicago to alb.
stain from voting IL really laugllablc.
AS u matter of fact, the membership
OF these alleged silver clubs doesn't av-
crage thirty to ward. In order Ia
have u gathering of any sort Of pro.
sentablc dimensions. they are obliged
10 arrange that no two contiguous
wards shall have meetings on the same
night. 80 that buns of one can help the
other out. For instance. II the lOafers
and buns Of the Twcnty-fourth ward
have silver club meeting tonight. tho
same gang o: Migrants will have work
al up the next night to the Twenty
third. ana the night following thcll
familiar faces will hr found In tho
Twentieth.
II t. stated on good authority that re-
| cent researches of North Side cntomDl
0gists have demonstrated that bedbugS
OF variety ana quality peculiar to thu
Twerty-fourth ward have been f0unt
cavortng around the precincts of tlil
Presbyterian seminary In the Twentl
eth ward. and always In greatest mum
beers after II meeting of the "silvcl
club" of the Twentieth ward
II matters little whether the silveI
club obcys or ignores the demand of TN
.Aitgcld managers The Record can -
on with its poll ana they will never III
