HATH HOUSE" APPRECIATED.
Alderman John Coughlin Tells Why
 lie was Reelected.

A man carrying bass drum Sneaked cut of the Frank headquarters in Dear born street-First ward-last night and went home. A cCrnet player followed him at q safe distance, and the rest Of the band, which was not needed, made Q stealthy escape.
 In Michael Kenna's saloons a dazod set of lodging house citizens slowly aWOke to the fact that they were in the way and that their good friends, Nil. CoUghlin and MT. kenna. wished they would move on. In South Clark street there was d procession of men '. he saw Zigz&g lamp posts and three full moons tc the block
 Aldernan-Re-elect Coughlin hung un the telephone receiver at i9 Plymouth place and broke training. iiis seventy precinct captains also broke training. 1t was evident to the band, the lodging house citizens, the precinct captains and the alderman-re-elect that the campaign was over Cougnlin got into his slippers and out of his coat and discussed the result at his residence, 1Sof Michigan avenue
 My friends who knew me best ap- pTcciated me" he said. "The First ward is a city, and know all the peo- pie in it. You see, I don't have to be introduced to any one, and that is something. I had the business inter- ests with me. Because why? Because Whenever any one wants anything done l do it cOurteousIy. Marshall Field x Co., Mandel Bros. the First National bank and all of them were with me.
 "A kind word and a favor is my way to reach the people of the First ward. We have all kinds-both extremes. OHe extreme is down in Kennas S saloons now. What are you going to do about 1t? Give them some money to go 60 bed: Well. I don't see the Municipal Voters league giving them anything
 With the result of his campaign pretty well understood. the First ward statesman fell into questioning mood as to what the people thought of him.
 Honest, now, what do you suppose people think of me?'' he asked. 'I am pictured half the time as a man who talks BoWery slang. It's isn't fair. I don't use BOWery slang. One day I'll be made to talk this stuff. and the next maybe therelI be d report Of one Of my addresses in correct language. Now what do you suppose the people think of the First ward aldcrman-I mean the people who don't Know him? 1 won der if they think he is Bowery tough ! or an orator?
 The police worked against me to- day. They chased some of my fellows away. Those college strong boys didn't do any good. There wasn't anything for them to do. l like stiff campaign. l never tire. and I'd rather have d fight than not.
 I've always lived in the First ward ! and that counts. I've lived here torI:- years. and people know that my father was an old settler here. That's why i | get elected
 l While tho alderman-re-elect was dis cussing his political career. the First ward subjects were waking up to the l fact that the election was over In disconsolatc groups they filled Kenna g saloons.
 I'm not going" said d man with no hat. no collar. nothing much in the way of shoes and little in the way of a coat
 I'm not going until I get my money '
