The Closina Addresses.

j. j. Smith, George Heindel and D.
H. Emery made the closing addresses
and all spoke in glowing terms of the
association. They reiterated the en-
timent of the speakers who preceded
them that the citizens should unite
in pushing the project for the adj
vancement of the city. AT the close OF
the program Rev. Father Foley pro.
posed a vote of thanks to DR.. MacLean
for coming to the city to address the
citizens and this was given with a
hearty good will. There was no doubt

Calvin Manning was the next
speaker called upon by the toastmas-

nouncement that already nearly half
the amount desired had been raised
an omen of success. He said that the

Harrison Wins.

After the hardest fought political
battle ever waged in Chicago Carter
Harrison has been elected for fourth
term as mayor. Although his plurality
Of two years ago was cut by about TO-
900 votes he will be at the head of the
city government two years more, ana
he positively promises that at the end
of that time he will, for while at
least, "give us a rest" :,
John Smulski, republican candidate
for city attorney, and Fred c. Bender,
for city clerk, beat their democratic
competitors by handsome majorities.
The result of the election Is q great
gain for the. republicans, and at the
next election they will "clean up" 1t
is claimed that much fraud was prac-
ticed in several wards by the demo-
Gratis, and recount of the votes would,
doubtless, greatly reduce Mr.. Harri-
sons small plurality. -.
According to Mr.. Harrison's pre-
election statement, there will be no
change in the government OF the city;
so we will have two more years or
filthy streets, poor transportation "a
cilities and general mismanagementO OF
city affairs
>>Graeme Stewart made great race,
and only unfortunate circumstances
over which he had no control defeated
him. Two years from now he will be
an easy winner. He conducted Wig
orous, clean; campaign, and demon
strated to the public that he has the
ability and desire to give the city a
business.like government. A study Of
the result shows that the Harlan vote
went almost solidly for Stewart. =.

IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER
CHANGE. y
Henry Watterson's Courier.Journal
Announces New Policy.

During Three Decades the Louisville
Courier-Journal has stood unalteraDly
and conspicuously before the public as
the representative of the great COM
monalty of the people against both the
Robber Baron, seeking through the &C.
erection of ill-got money to steal away
the peoples liberty by stealing away
their franchise rights, and the ready
tool of the Robber Baron, the bandit
politician, masquerading as a States
man and patriot the better to serve
the ends of his master. In fulfilling
this high function it has sometimes
had to go fast and sometimes TO go
slow, sometimes to cry ''onward,' and
sometimes to cry "halt,' sometimes
to drive at the root of things, and
sometimes to drive ahead; but never
changing the direction OF its move
ment and always true to the underly-
ing principle of it's being, expressed
by the simple demand for "The Great
est Good to the Greatest Number.
With the advent of the New Year,
that is on the first of January, 1903,
the Courier-Journal began a campaign
from which it looks for commanding
results, anu CuS UcCCC4 W ASo~SAA oAAo
iects it has before it, the twice-a-Week
edition was changed to once-a-week, re-
turning to the old Weekly Courier-Jour'
nal. which for a quarter of a Century
was literally political bible to mil
lions of Americans who knew they
could trust both it's prescience and it's
disinterestedness.
The new Weekly Courier-Journal is
modern in every respect, and is paper
for the home. 1t is issued every wed
nesday. and it's ten or twelve eight.
column pages are filled with the pest
work of the best writer's. The price OF
the paper is 81 year, in advance, and
it is we'll worth it.
By a special arrangement with the
publishers of the Courier-Journal you
can get that paper and The Appeal one
year for only $780,.
