Political News.

CHICAGO, April 15.-Ex-Gov. Altgeld
was spoken to today about the sugges-
ton of nominating ex-Gov Pattison, of
pennsylvania, as the running mate of
Mr.. Bryan. He said:
1 notice that some of the newspapers
are urging the nomination of Mr.. Patti
son. Personally believe that the nom
inatfon of Mr.. Pattison for the vice presi-
dency would be as great a misfortune
as the nomination we made in 1896 for
that place, If not greater. Our candi-
date for that place in 1896 was at least
positively with us on the silver question,
but he did not command the confidence
of our people on any other question and
greatly weakened our ticket. Mr.. Patti
son has not been positively with us on
any proposition, and 1t is safe to say
that at least IS per cent Of the Demo-
Gratis Of America would be disappointed
at such a nomination.
"Our people are in earnest all over the
country, and they demand not only the
enunciations of definite and progressive
principles, but they demand the nomina-
ton of men whom they know to be in
tense in their support of those princi-
pies. The Republican party is catering
to every influence that is controlled by
concentrated wealth and by
CORRUPT WEALTH,
and the Democratic party cannot hope
to gain anything by entering into COM
petition with the Republican party on
this line. We must appeal to the con-
science, the intelligence and the patriot
ism of the country, and to do this sue
cessfully it is above all things necessary
for US to be sincere. The moment we
embark on a course that shall put us
in the light of trimming, or trading, or
maneuvering for votes, that moment we
will lose the confidence and enthusiasm
of large portion Of our people. For US
to be guided by high principle in the
nomination of a candidate for the presi-
dency, and then undertake to play old
fashioned, cheap politics in the nomina-
ton of a candidate for the vice presi-
dency, would be unworthy of a great
party and would SO far weaken that
party as to make it incapable of perform
ing any great mission for the country
or for humanity.
1.-The difficulty with some men is that
they are not able to perceive that the
country is very tired of simply playing
politics. It is calling for heroism; it is
calling for the material of which mar
tyrs are made; it is calling for gener-
alton of men who are willing to die
for a cause, and such generation is
coming. The hope of the Democracy to-
day

NO INVESTIGATION.
Made Of the Death of Joseph Earle

Made of the Death of Joseph Farley.
The report that Joseph Farley,
nephew of Thomas j. Farley, who
brought his life to an end by taking a
dose of carbolic acid last week, intended
to have the circumstances regarding
the latter's death investigated seems to
have no basis in fact. The coroner has
not been consulted nor has Medical tx
aminer Bartletts offices been invoked.
The case from all the surroundings
cannot be summed up otherwise than
as a suicide. The cause of his taking
his own life at that particular time is
unaccountable. He was in the middle
of a real estate transaction which
would have brought him $500. The
papers in the transfer had been drawn
by Colonel t. f. Callahan and Mr.. Far
ley was to have made the transfer at
the office of the board of assessors at
8 o'clock. Colonel Callahan said that
Mr.. Farley had the complete set of pa
pers in his possession and was to have
come to receive a payment of $500 on
the property from the other party in
the transfer The buyer arrived but
Mr.. Farley did not appear, and after
waiting some time the man left for his
place of business.
The funeral was held from the house
of his nephew, 70 Kimberly avenue, at
o'clock yesterday afternoon The in
terment was in the Westvllle ceme-
terry.

which is about sure to steal over one

their efforts to dispel this by inviting
these young people to their home on
that occasion certainly reflects the hol-
