Not of the AItseId stripe.
Ike Countv and Republican.

Starke County 1nd) Republican.
A lot Of Democrats OF the J. J. Lentz and
Clarence barrow stripe gathered themselves
together i'm Chicago Sunday. and after a
fashion did homage 10 the life and works
of the late John +. Altgeld. Some OF the
utterances were most disgraceful and I'M
American. For instance, Mr.. barrow, in
referring to the Chicago strike OF 1893, de-
clared that the act of President Cleveland
in sending troops into the State TO queu
the riot was the most anarchistic PERFORM
ance ever seen in this country. Shame on
such sentiments and shame on the audi
ence which applauded them. The world
long ago put its finger on the name OF Alt
geld and branded him as a supporter or
anarchy, Mr.. Altgeld himself furnishing
the proof by his ~pardOning Of the Chicago
band of Anarchists from the Joliet prison.
Grover Cleveland may be out OF joint with
the party he so long honored with his lead
ership, and he may have displeased the
turbulent elements in Chicago when he
sent federal troops into that city to protect
the mails and restore order, but his Amerr
canism and patriotism cannot be success
fully questioned by such men as hold Mr..
Altgeld up as a model Of purity and pa
triOtfSm.
