Endorsed at the polls viii be promoted

a good thing, too, for it takes away
from the nominations any semblance Of

"We have gone over the field careful
", and we figure that we have already
wrought a change of 100, 900 votes in
Chicago alone. With start like this it
will be impossible for the Republicans
to elect their candidates, ever If there
were no votes changed in the state"
Now, it must be confessed that
"Buck" is a silver ~lunatic, but, then.
it must also be confessed that he knows
as much about Illinois politics as any
man in the state, and, what is more, he
ranks second to General Charles H.
Grosvenor alone as a prophet. Most as
suredly, If Buck is to be believed, this
newfangled Republican prosperity has
reduced Illinois Republicans to a woe
