HANECY PREDICIS MS OWN NOM.
INATION.

Judge Hanecy was the first OF the
gubernatOrlal candidates to take the
platform ut the Springfield Republican
"pOw-wOw." He said that Cook COun-
ty was powerful politically and tinan.
cially, and that 1t proposed to obtain a
fair share of recognition. Cook County
and the surrounding counties, he said,
would name the next Governor Of I'LL
nOis. He closed by saying:
II intend to he the nominee Of the
next Republican convention. intend
to he elected at the next State election,
! have the delegates. The party is for,
tunate In having such candidates as
Reeves and Yates. But have the
delegates and they will find the latch
string of the executive mansion on the
outside when they come to visit me
after the Inauguration"
While Judge Hanecy intended, so he
said afterward, that his remarks
should be taken as j0cular, they were
taken seriously by many of the "cOun'
try" Republicans, who said 1t was bad
taste for a man ito brag about having
DOB uelesateS.
Walter Reeves gave Judge Hanecy O
sly thrust when he said:
1.-THE man who will be the next Re
publican Governor Is the man who
may be nominated at the convention
and this occasion Is not the convention

TELEPHONES IN CHiCA0O.

Mr.. A. 8. Hubbard, the general man.
ager Of the Chicago Telephone Com.
pany, writes as follows to the Records
ITO write the history Of the tele-
phone business In Chicago and vicinity
for 1900 Is to repeat everything which
was written referring to the year 1893,
and to add that all Of this has occur
red, and great deal more. Once more
the growth Of the year has been UNI
precedented In the history Of the Chi.
cago Telephone Company. Seventy
three exchanges and 1O3 toll stations
are now operated In Its territory, which
embraces a radius of about forty miles
round about Chicago. Twenty-seven
thousand five hundred telephones are
now operated by the company In this
territory, the net growth of the year
being about $500. OF the total num-
her about 1900 are operated In Chi.
cago, and the remainder in surround
ing exchanges, Of which Joliet has be.
come the largest, with total Of over
900 instruments; then follow In order:
Evanston, Aurora, Oak Park and FL
gin.
During the year the main Office build
Ing Of the company, northeast corner
Of Franklin and Washington streets,
has been more than doubled In size,
and a new operating office has been
provided on the eighth floor, 30 by 4O
feet interior dimensions, which is
thought to be perhaps the finest room
yet provided for like purpose. In this
office the new relay multiple switch
boards are being installed and, IL Is en-
pected, will be ready for service early
In the coming year. The Monroe Office
of the company, in SangamOn street
near Monroe street, has been cOmplet.

"The company's underground con-
Quits now extend from Edgewater on
the north to WOOdlawn on the south
and embrace large portions OF the
West Side, so that all extensions have
been made In a most permanent and
improved manner.
During the year the new measured
rate service was introduced in the Chi
cago exchange by the company. I'm
der this plan the user pays for service
at graded rates, depending upon the
number OF annual outgoing calls, and
a place Of business can be furnished
with telephone on this plan at rates
as low as $50 per annum. Nearly 1900
subscribers have taken advantage OF
the opportunities afforded by these
rates In the Chicago exchange. About
$500 Of these formerly had telephones,
and 800 represent new patrons.

Opposition to Judge Hanecy has
cropped out In the Thirty-third Ward.
Some Of the younger Republicans Of

en- to organize their primary districts
for Walter Reeves.

"There was no other course left open
for Governor Tanner. and his with
drawal was the best thing for the par

believe that Cook County has practi-
cally united on Judge Hanecy. This
desirable situation has been brought
about by John NJ. Smyth, and no one
but him could have smoothed over the
