The Altgcld people have issued q
manifesto denouncing all Of Mayor
Harrison's appointments as ''goldbugs'
except "Bull' McAndrews, formerly OF
the Twelfth Ward. and now of the
building department. The reason that
the Altgeld gang Is SO favorable 10
"Bull' Is that he was one of the Altgcld
commissioners who erected the Peoria
insane asylum. over coal mine.
Bulls" record as builder Is thor
oughly In accordance with the Ord'.
nance creating his department. Hence
the Altgcld gang love him.
