Voters Of the Thlrty-fOurth wnrl
Will make no mistake IN cnsting their
ballots next Tuesday for Honest Jonn-
than NuxtOn. lie IL u solid business
man. truthworthy nnd honorable In an
his dealings. and n man who. II elect.
I'd. cannot fail To give entire sntlsfnc.
tiOn to his constituents and the peo-
pie of Chicago generally. Mr.. lux.

Former Police Inspector Luke Kalas
IL coming more and more prominently
before the public daily ns one Of the
men most likely to be nominated by the
Democrats for membership on the
Board Of assessors.
Mr. Kalns. while connected with the
police department. made nn hOnorab BILE
record rs u wise and efficient vet con.
sldcrate ana impartial official. His rec.
ord for efficiency as IN officer In an on.
viable one. while rs Il citizen and tax.
payer his standing IN the community IL
nnimpcnchable. lie would make nm in
corruptlble official as u member of the
Board Of Assessors. and the Democratic
party therefore could not make II better
choice than Mr.. Kalas In naming Il man
for that office.

Henry II. Tcfft. the Republican candi.
date In the Fourteenth Ward. has made
one OF the greatest campaigns for Al
derman ever known on the West Side.
All the indications point to his election.
Mr.. Tent has canvassed every portion
OF the ward, not nook or corner has
escaped him, ana wherever he has gone
he has won golden opinions. There IL
no reason why Mr.. TcfYt should not be
elected next Tuesday. lie won the
nomination Of his party In u fair field
ana by honorable methods, and that
struggle has left no bad feelings behind
1t. lie Will therefore undoubtedly re-
cclve the full support of his party.
1t Is hard to see how his Democratic
opponent. Mr.. Maypole, can expect as
much from his party, rs he can hardly
claim to be II regular Democratic nomi-
nee, his utilization with the "Tilden"
or "Boltlng" Democracy being well
known. IL fact which IL sure to cost him
hundreds Of Democratic votes.
Again. Mr.. Tefft IL u man of affairs,
Il successful man Of independent means,
ana therefore above and beyond the
ordinary temptations which might lead
the average man from the path OF duty
when personal considerations would
clash, rs against those of the public.
Mr.. Tetft, II elected (as The Eagle
feels sure he wild should make an ideal
Alderman. ana one well worthy of the
people of the great Fourteenth Ward.

br, j. u, McFatrich. the well known
and highly respected South Side ply
sician, is being urged by hundreds Of
well known Republicans for Congress.
Dr. McFatrch Is u man In every way
qualified for the office. or for any 9th
or In the gift of the people. He IL II
man of ability, both rs u speaker and
as u thinker. and II given his party
nomination would sweep his district.
