In this connection and compare 1t with
some Of its performances before the
election. If you will look at its issue
of Aug. 6 lasts you will find printed
the following language used in what
passed for an editorial, entitled THE
Judiciary" the following:
Another reason why Judge Willrch should
not become a candidate for the district bench
is the fact that the other leading candidate
for Judge Of probate, Mr.. BazilIe, is entirely
lacking In the qualifications Of experience
and knowledge Of the law essential to the
proper performance Of the functions of the
Office"
Has a word been printed in the COL
Umns of that sheet since the nominal
tons rejecting on either Bazille or
Willrich? Not a syllable. Last nights
issue Of that sheet tells it's readers that
e. W. Bazille's lead for Judge Of pro-
bate continues to increas Sc" But watch
the process: On Sept. 80, the ticket
being then nominated, the organ after
advising the voter to make compari-
son Of the several names on the two
tickets, declared that the Republican
candidate in each case was the superior
man, adding: "In every case where
there is a recognized difference it is
in favor Of the Republican" And this
is the oracle Of the VirtUous aggre-
cation which Is now chasing county
office. It is a game Of bunco pure and
simple.
1t Is upon the so-called law and order
element Of society that this game Of
bunco is intended to operate success,
fully. The poor devils whom they have
debauched in the several wards, who
hang around waiting for some decent
victim to come along-thOse people are
not deceived. They know how 1t is
They know, for instance, that thu
Fourth Ward Republican club has
opened its headquarters on North
Washington street. and that the word
has been sent around among the heel
ers that the place remains open night
and day. There whisky and beer can
be had ad Ilbitum. There is no limit
Every old soak can go there and get
all he wants. The purchases are by
wholesale, and the stuff is given
away" to those who give the assurance
that they will vote the proper ticket
There was a virtuous spasm some time
ago when Doran was in power against
the existence of clubs designed for the
dispensation Of drink Here is a club
Of the kind which Mayor Kiefer's po,
lice force would do we'll to investigate,
but will not. It is, to be precise, located
at No. 3S1 North Washington street
Inspector Mcintyre knows all the
habitues Of it. HIS extensive knowl-
edge Of his duties will teach him that
the law prescrfbes that license shall be
paid where intoxicants are given
away" as in places where they are sold
The campaign in the Fourth ward Is
the product Of the united genius OF
George Irish and Henry Johns Need
less to say that Johns will go to the
legislature, when he goes, "unhampered
by any private interest" That Is just
the kind Of man Henry Is, and every.
body knows 1t. Why such a well,.
fellow rnorta1's characteristics as J. H.
Wheelock should be at the pains to
point out so we'll known a fact as this
passes understanding. The next thina
that can be reasonably looked for Is
that Mr.. Wheelock will announce that
the ultimate adoption Of the no-license
prohibition idea demands imperatively
that Henry shall be elected.
How much of principle is involved in
the scramble Is shown in the case of
WilIrich and Jaggard. The fight still
| goes on between these two worthless.
Each mans adherents are busy cir
cUlating the statement that there is
no earthly show fer the other. and

vote against the other fellow, since
| Judge Bum. is going to be elected, any
way. The adherents Of Willrich are
| getting the worst Of it here. Jaggard' S
friends are insisting their man was
! nominated by acclamation, and that
! the fight was between Willrich and
| Judge Bum in the convention, and
that, if the voters are going to vote
| for Bum, 1t should be at the cost of
| Willrich. The Kieferverein favors
| Willrich. He is in the combination and
he must be protected. The American
candidate must be beaten. That is the
word that hasfbeen sent out from the
mayors off1ced But 1t ds not having
the effect which was designed. and the
result is that all outside Of the combine
are fast taking theI side Of Jaggard.
The merry war Proceeds apace, and
| the result points inevitabl to the cleo
ton Of Bum and Michael. The whole
| business has been sadly intensified by
| the direction which has gone out from
! the combine that only one candidate
| for judge Of the district court should
be voted for. and that candidate rs
| Judge Willrtch.
| Another pretty fight which Is In
progress in that between the Pottbieser
