CARTER Harrison has been reelected
mayor of Chicago. John P. Altgeld
ran as an independent Democratic can
didate, but there were enough public
spirited Republican citizens who voted
for Harrison to more than offset the
detection of Democrats to Altgeld.
The Republican candidate was not in
any real sense a candidate of the peo-
pie, and did not receive the support OF
Republicans or Republican ! papers,
and Harrison's victory, therefore, has
no political significance. The whole
thing simply means that the people OF
Chicago were tired of being robbed
and they recognized in Harrison the
man who had done most. to stop the

NOTWITHSTANDING the result of the
campaign of 1898, VIM. H. Eustis is
said to be ambitious for a re-nomina-
tion and a ''vindication''. Be it said
in all kindness to and respect for Mr..
Eustis that his candidacy for re-nom-
ination falls nothing short of an alb
solute absurdity. Minneapolis has
twice in succession had the Republican
candidate for governor, and upon both
occasions he has lost the county by an
overwhelming majority. Further
argument is unnecessary, and no real
friend of Mr.. Eustis would encourage
him to entertain the delusion that he
is a gubernatorial possibility.
