In the town Of B. party feeling waxed
hot and relentless at general election.
The two parties were SO equal In numbers
that the variation of single vote one way
or another might be matter of most seri
Gus consequences. OF course on both side'
sharp eyes were open and watchful. A
young man came up TO the polling bootl
on election day and offered his vote. II
was his first appearance I'm the character oi
an elector. He had just got married anc
he had the independence To differ In poll
tics from his father, who challenged tht
vote.
'On what groundss" demanded the Off
cial
"Hc amt 2l."
81 am 21," asserted the youth.
ono, you amt" persisted the father
"You won't be one and twenty I'LL tomor
row.
II say / willl' cried the youth. 81 was
born on Dec 8. 1t Is down SO In the ole

"Tbcn it's mistake!' said the ole
man. "You weren't born till the morning
Of Dec. o. can swear.

Arnold D. Shaw, the Candidate,
Backed by the Chaces, Wins
the Prize.
DENNIS BEATEN AT EVERY TURN.
Dr. MaIo Showed Under By Ungrateful Repub'
licans-The French Vote Mad and Will
Square Accounts In the Spring.

The Joint convention has come and gone,
but it has left many sores which Will take
time to heal. The machine was beaten in
all the most important points. The Board
of Public Works has been tempting palt
for ex-Alderman Schiller, and he has ap-
piled all his energies, backed by the ring,
to land the coveted prize. Back OF Mr..
Schiller has been the big French vote
which has been held over the heads OF the
bosses in a threatening attitude. The po-
sition has been promised to Mr.. Schiller
for the past two years, but the goods could
not be delivered according to contract.
There seems to be feeling among some
of the members of the City Council that
halt must be called in the matter OF turn
ing over the majority Of the offices TO the
French element. Against Mr.. Schiller were
the combined influences Of the mighty
Chace interests, which Is one OF the most
b. powerful factors in the present politicai
complexion.
The second important defeat for the
ring. or at least the majority of the ring,
was the reelection of DR.. Mann to the
Office of Health Officer. DIR. Malo was
beaten out last year by the present incum-
bent, and this year he laid his plans 70
GUST DR.. Mann. Up to yesterday morning
DIR. Malo was sure of six votes, but word
was conveyed to him that the jig was up
and Mr.. Dennis was defeated. The con-
dition of affairs among the French voters
is very interesting at the present time, and
according to mutterings heard from that
quarter there will be something drop hard
in the spring campaign.
The convention went off in peaceful
manner; not a ripple of excitement dis
turbed the even tenor of the proceedings
until the nomination for health officer
came up. DIR. Mann was nominated, and
Councilman Carlin placed the nameof DIR.
Remington in opposition. 1t was under
stood that enough votes were promised TO
elect DR.. Remington, but Alderman East
wood moved that the election be by roll
call. Those who were loud in their prom
;sed support of Dr. Remington did not
dare face the publicity of the roll-cali, ex-
cept Alderman Barber and Councilman
Glare Of the fifth ward.
Mr.. Dennis saw that it was utterly i'm
possible to elect DR.. Malo, and rather than
lose the Office to Democrat the ring
bowed their knees the second time. un-
ouestionably there were men there who
voted for DR.. Mann to whom it was dose
of salt, but roll call was demanded, ana
they did not have. the necessary courage
to take decided stand. Some were sur
prised when the name OF John r. Bamford
was proposed for Inspector of Plumbing,
but when Alderman Eastwood announced
that it was the old incumbent, under
new name, surprise gave way to laughter.
WHY the gentleman has had his name
changed is no ones business but his own.

CHICAGO'S GREAT VICTORY.
Mayor Harrison Says 1t Does Not
Mean That Corporations VIII
he UnjustIy

Springfield, ILL.,, May 1S.-Mayor Harrison,
of Chicago, has made the following state
ment concerning the action of the legisla-
ture in refusing to extend fifty years the
franchises of the street railway companies.
The defeat of the Humphrey bills leaves
the extension of the traction companies
franchises where il properly belongs, in the
hands of the municipal authorities of Chi
cagO. In my opinion. speaking as an indi-
vidual. the next step should be to bring the
extension of the franchises before the prop
er civic authorities. where. if they appear
with clean hands, offering the municipal
ity adequate compensation the companies
will receive just treatment. Chicago is a
fair city. an honest city. a generous city.
It's people believe neither in destruction
nor confiscation. Their desire is to build
up and not to tear down, to anchor and
not to cast adrfft. Our fight has been
mainly for the principle of home rule. We
have won the battle. 1t now remains for
us to prove our ability to protect the inter-
ests of the citizens of Chicago and at the
same time accord justice to the corpora
tons"
