of the obligations ana with no desire
TO shirk Il single responsibility, ] wish
TO renew the pledge made the clectOr-
ate of Chicago at different times during
the campaign to give for the next two
endeavor 10 serve faithfully all inter-
csts Of the great city that has hOnOred
me with It's confidence.
This Is no longer time for words.
II Is by action, and by action alone, we
can now show the good faith Of the
pledges upon which we have been
chosen. The victory Of this spring has
been brought about by a campaign hon
estly and decently conducted along
lines Of municipal reform. II Is due
TO the support Of citizens Of all classes,
Of all natiOnalities. The population OF
our city II no more cosmopolitan In Its
character than the support which has
placed power In our hands. And the
more fattering this signal token of
general confidence the more earnest
should be our endcavor to show a prop
or appreciation.
