TRAITORS CANNOT BREAK IN.

The traitors who deserted their party
In 1906 ana who under the mask Of
friendship knitted II four years later
will remain outside the breastwOrks.
They cannot break In.
The solidarity Of the party In the
North. South and West Divisions Of the
city Is assured. ana all efforts to either
break up and reOrganizc the central
organization Of the party or to capture
ana control It as It stands must result
In utter defeat.
This means disaster to the trlmmers,
traitors and conspiratOrs, who had
hoped to profit by fractional strife In the
ranks Of the Democratic party.
II means that everywhere one NJ

the pleasant occupation Of handling the

1t also illustrates fOrcibly the wisdom
Of Mayor Harrlson's warning and the
full truth and logic Of what lie said last

city was made the target OF the fOulest
kind Of campaign calumny and villa.

At that time Mayor Harrison warned
the mud-sllngers that their lies would
come home to roost, and he incidentally
stood up for and ably indicated the
good name Of Chicago.

TO TAKE THE PLACE HELD BY
ADEBERT s. HAY.

BY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNE.l
Washington. June 25.-It is probable that the
consul generalship AT Pretoria which has been
vacant since the return to this country of Ade-
bert s Hay. who killed at New Haven on
Sunday morning. will soon be filled by the ap-
pontment of Grant Gillespie, of Missouri. The
Missouri Republican leaders have indorsed Gil

only awaiting his acceptance before announcing
his selection. Mr. Gillespie was in Washington

He hesitates to accept. because the experience
OF Adelbert 5. Hay showed that the salary of
the post, 5000 is not enough to support the
incumbent He has been assured that Congress
will increase the pay, and II is thought that on
this assurance he will accept IT and qualify at
early date. so as TO hurry TO the Transvaal
capital and look after the long neglected Ameri-
can interests there.
Mr. Gillespie has had quite notable career
in the volunteer army in the last three years
He was n first lieutenant in the 9Th Missouri
Regiment commanded by Captain I.etcher III
Hardeman. Of the 10Th United States cavalry
in the war with Spain. and served creditablv with
that regiment on garrison duty In Cuba for six
months. When the volunteer regiments for ser
vice In the Philippines were formed Gillespie
was commissioned first lieutenant in the ed
Chlted states Volunteers. As soon as his regi-
ment arrived at Manila Lieutenant Gillespie
was detached from II and placed in command OF
a company or Maca bebe scouts. He dis
ungnlshed himself In this service and was
brevetted twice for gallantry. He commanded
General Funston's scouts for about a year. For
the last six months OF his service i'm the Philip
pines Lieutenant Gillespie assistant chief Of
police of Manila, under Captain Wilder. Of the
9TH United States Cavalry, and when his reEi-
