TANNER NOT NETTLED.
Says Kissing and Jeering Only Came
From Rough Characters.

Springfield. Ill, July 26-Gov. Tan
ner was asked what ne had to say
about the story to the effect that the
people Of Chicago had indicated their
opinion of him by kissing him as he
proceeded along the streets in the Lo-
gan day parade The governor had this
to say:
places along the line of march, partic-
ularly at Twelfth street and at the Au-
ditoriun- 1t followed the call of some
one in the crowd. How about Yerkes p
and How about the Allen bin2' There
was not sufficient Kissing to pay any
attention to, and noticed that it came
from rough looking characters in the
the line of march- I want to say that
had with me in the parade 30 as good
citizens as Illinois possesses the mem
bers of my staff, and everyone of them
VIII verify what I say about the char
acter OF the men from whom the hiss
ing emanated.
They were men who doubtless knew
nothing of the Allen street railway bill
except what they have read in the Chi
eago press, and the sensational part of
the press at that.
In conclusion let me say that was
delighted with the reception accorded to
me by the great mass of the people of
Chicago. It was what I sincerely felt
was a perfect ovation from start to fin
ish- and the hundreds and thousands of
people from Chicago and elsewhere who
witnessed the parade will judge for
themselves whether or not I was the
object of expressions of vindictive feel
ing except from rough and irresponsible
characters Fair minded and thinking g
people will make liberal allowances for
untruths when they read the report"

tective tariff but it will not belong

the failure to fulfill the campaign prom
fses of prosperity" it was suggested
Yes" answered Mr.. Sherman, but
you will always find a lot of malcon-
tents who act without reason They
accuse the administration of not keep
ing its promises without waiting to give
the administration a chance to do so.
How could President Mckinley do more
than he has done before he got the leg

stealing lemons from the commission
store of Nonken & Co, 921 Kansas ave
nue. They were arrested by the police.
The detectives worked on the case and
secured evidence which they deemed
sufficient to cause the arrest of Mr.
Leslie. Accordingly he was arrested
by the police on the charge of receiv
ing stolen property He was turned
over to the state and will have to stand
trial on the charge of Implication in
robbery. The officers say that the ac-
cusation is made that Mr.. Leslie hired
the coIored boys to steal for him. Of
course it requires more evidence than
the say so of a couple of little negro
thieves to prove the charge.
