PAYMENT OF WAR TAX.
Express Companies Believe the Po-
sition They Took is Right.

CHICAGO, Sept. CIV. H. Damsel,
a member of the Board of Managers
of the Adams Express Company, says
that the report that the express COM
panies have decided to pay the war tax
is not true, and no conference has been
held between the officials of the Adams,
United States and American Companies
at Chicago.
Mr.. Damsel further says that the
express companies believe that the po-
sition taken by them is absolutely
right, and in view of this fact he does
not see how it will be possible for them
to recede from the stand they have
taken.

Ys,nner., speech at GoIconda.

Chicago Times-HeraId CRep.):
The state republican campaign was
formally opened yesterday in remote
Golconda. ami Gov. John r. Tanner
was delivered of a speech, which, il
not the greatest.s probably was the
longest effort of his life. A compar-
ison of this speech with the editorial
page of his favorite newspaper organ
lays the governor under suspicion
of trying to parade in borrowed plum
age. and, like the moon (Which he re-
sembles, both being dead), of shining
by reflected light. The Introductory
sentences of the speech are made up
of statements of obvious facts. such
as the valor of our army and navy,
the defeat of free silver and the return
of prosperity. The remainder is an at
tack upon the administration of Gov.
Altgeld. The writer of the speech,
unable to find any facts upon which
to base n culogy of the Tanner admin
istration. initiated the lawyer who
with no case of his own proceeded to
abuse the attorney on the other side.
We fail to see how the republican
party has been benefited or the demo-
cratic party injured by sending
Gov. Tanner to the wilds and fast
nesses of Golconda so perform the
difficult and painful task of reading
a newspaper campaign article to an
audience of a few Egyptians and Il
large number of trees.
