CHICAGO, Illinois, February 49,
Save the fight of the machine on Nc
Kinley, nothing Of recent years has
caused such intense indignation and
bad feeling among the republican rank
and file as the failure of Governor Tan
ner to attend the Lincoln day banquet
Of the Marquette club. While Cover
nors Lippitt, Atkinson, Pingree, Drake
ard Mount found time and put aside
personal Inconvenience to Journey
here from the respective state capitals
Of Rhode Island, West Virginia, MIchi-
gan, Iowa and Indiana, the governor
OF Illinois found it impossible to spare
the time, according to his own state
ment, to make six-hour trip from
Springfield to Chicago, and his excuse
is aggravated by the discovery of the
fact that the 'simportant engagement"
that kept him away was conference
with some members of the state politi-
cal machine relative to the distribution
Of state patronage, which might have
been disposed of the next day or the

ON the proposal for the erection OF a

cause of its opposition to the proposal
He said the opposition was purely in
the interest OF Mr.. Astor himself, whose
house adjoined the council building.

could not endure the miserable and un-

the situation from his point of view,
says that from the moment of the rails
ing OF the Greek flag in Crete, it be-
came plain that the only solution OF the
difficulties prevailing in the island was
its union with Greece. In his opinion,
any other course will result in bloody
catastrophe.

that the Greek fioulla be Withdrawn
