ride into the Chicago mayoralty on the
late pere Harrison's popularity and repu-
tation. He Is mounted on Atgeld's horse,
and is being cheered on by the Democrats
and Populists- All the political interests
that worked for w. J. Bryan In the late

Harrison and his hackers. 1t is needless
TO say that, though the son is ambitious
his fathers shoes are many times too large
for him.

and dried by the Altgeld faction and its
slate went through without a scratch

nominated in the same manner In no par
ticular in making the nomination was there
the slightest deviation by the convention
from the Aitgeld slate as prepared twenty
four hours in advance of the proceedings
The platform ends as follows:

nizing that the issues of this campaign are
purely local and not national cannot re-
frain from paying its tribute of respect to
that magnificent leader. William j. Bryan.
and that popular and efficient Governor
John II. Altgeld for the valuable services
which they have rendered To the cause of
