the Philadelphia Record. There is one
vessel at each angle of the hexagon,
and the admirars ship occupies the
center. Their bows all point one way

admiral is equidistant from all the rest
and seen by all equally we'll Every
one is 400 yards from the next, but the
space can be reduced. In case of more

common agreement among democrats
and republicans that Mr.. Alschuler is
the strongest candidate that his party
could have nominated at this time.
This, of itself, is high tribute to his
character and ability. Mr.. Alschuler
is a young lawyer of fine attain
ment. His standing at the bar
in northern Illinois is an en-
viable one. His equipment for
the duties of the governorship are
therefore adequate in every way. But
the particular thing that gave strength
to his candidacy and which com mend
ed him to the favor of his party was
mis- record in the 40th and 4lst gen.
eral Assem- blies. He was the &C
knowledged leader of the honest mi
nority in the 10th assembly. His
fight upon the Humphrey and Allen
bills and other corrupt measures was
able and courageous. He could be de-
pended upon in both sessions to fear
lessly oppose every measure that an
tagonized the interests of the people.
His hand was against every venal leg
islator and every boodle-tainted bill.
Such is the moral fiber and mental
caliber of the democratic nominee for
governor of Illinois. The nomination
of Judge Richard Yates, of Jackson
vile, and Samuel Alschuler, of Auro-
"a, for governor, marks tremendous
stride from disreputabie machine poll
tics to political decency and capability.
1t lifts the campaign in Illinois to 3
high plane of digRified discussion"
While all that the Times-Herald
says of the two gubernatorial candi-
dates personally is true, it ought to
have entered into comparison further
by saying that while Yates is above
reproach personally. he is as pretty
in the hands of the corrupt ma
chine that the same paper condemns
80 vigorously. Without that machine
he could not have been nominated;
without it he could not hope for cleo
ton. Alschuler, on the other hand.
stands as he has always stood, free
footed and independent, winning his
success with the uprightness and hon.
esty that have always characterized his
record.
