COMING EVENTS
As Foreshsdowed By the Recent Eiec
t1OnS.

The elections of last Monday have
started good deal of speculation as to
their influence on State and National
politics.
Mayor Harrison, OF Chicago, has been
reelected by plurality of 10000 over
the Republican candidate, and lacks
only few votes of having majority
over Carter, Republican, and Altgelt,
Independent Democrat. Carter Is a
representative of the Gov. Tanner ring
of Republicans, and represents Yerkes,
the street railroad monopolist, and
Tanner, the anarchist, is the represen-
tative of the worst elements in Chicago.
Harrison refused to declare himself very
decidedly on the silver question and
was supported by many Republicans,
who believe that he represents the
people, as against millionaires and
trusts, and he therefore carried the city
by tremendous majority. If he could
carry Chicago for President as he car
ried it for Mayor, he would get the
electoral vote of Illinois. There is,
therefore, strong talk of him as the
Democratic candidate for President
next year.
Almost the same state of affairs exists
in Toledo and Ohio. Mayor Jones has
been reelected Mayor of Toledo, his
majority being greater than the COM
bined votes of the regular Republican
and Democratic nominees. He was
beaten for nomination by the fool friends
of Senator Hanna, like Waldorf, and by
the street railroads and millionaires,
and the result was, he ran independent,
and the people took him up and elected
him with whirl. He is for the people
against the trusts and monopolies. He
is good man; there is nothing of the
demagog about him; he is man o1
the people and for the people; and fol
these reasons he is now prominently
named for the position of Governor
His nomination would be in the interest
of the people and it would be master
stroke. Nothing could defeat him i
nominated. Mckinley and Hanna
would show fine political astuteness
should they advocate his nomination
for Governor. If they should do so
nothing could defeat him, and nothing
would do 80 much to heal the divisions
and make Ohio certain for Mckinley il
1900. 1t would satisfy the people tina
they had friend at the head of State
affairs, and they would rally to hi
standard as they did in Toledo.
Down with trusts and monopolies, is
cry that no party can run up against
without defeat. There is nothing S,
threatening to the prosperity and lib
erty of the people as these combination
of capital to crush out small dealers
manufacturers and producers, and tn
people are wise in waking up, before i
is too late.
