0ROVNDLESS ATTACKS VPON

The daily newspapers seem to have

unjust and utterly grOundless attacks
upon Gov. Tanner in connection with

largely due to the fact TINT the Gov
ernOr. with great good sense. Inns plain.
~ and bluntly told the newspapers that
he had no excuses to offer, that his
action In the premises was none of their
business. that It had injured nobody.
and that their criticisms and attacks
being unjustiiiable hurt nobody but
those who made them. The terse
sentence which the Governor used to
convey to the minds Of the great editors
the fact that they Inexperienced the
ituntion--"'They must be taught that
Chicago is In Illinois, and not Illinois
In Chicago''-mOst aptly stated the
whole case in n nutshell. The occasion
In question ut the Nashville exposition
