AN OLD STORY.
| Nashville Banner.l

The dispatches giving the result
of the Chicago municipal election
said:
"Both sides are agreed that Mer-
riam lost through failure of the
silk stocking wards to show the
strength expected. Even in the
twenty-ffth ward, where Merriam's
candidacy was conceived, failure
of Merriam supporters to vote
caused the professors total to drop
far below what had been expected.
Harrison announced as soon as this
ward had reported that he had won
and prepared statement. After
this ward had reported, the result
never was in doubt"
1t is the same old story. The
element of responsibility that de-
plores the success Of machine pol
itics and consequent bad municipal
government will not always take
the trouble to exercise the privi-
leges of citizenship.
The ever alert professional poll
ticians can marshal their crowds
not only to vote but for aggressive
action throughout the campaign
and on election day, while the So
called best element shuns it as con-
Eliminating and below the notice of
respectability.
Carter Harrison is not an alto.
gether a bad man. He has never
been charged with corruption, and
in the eight years that he was the
Mayor of Chicago he displayed
administrative ability, but he is
politician pure and simple, one of
the machine kind, and not the sort
of man great American city should
have at the head of its municipal
government; not the kind who will
contribute to uplift oradvancement
in any proper sense. His admin
istratiou will be of the kind that
gives recognition to "Hinky Dink"
and "Bathhouse Johu" with sim
lister influence that pervades all
matters that the municipal author
ity touches.
Charles E Merriam is the oppo-
site type of man. He is university
professor, but he has had expert
ence in practical politics. He has
been al Alderman from theseventh
Chicago ward and a member of the
Illinois lax Commission. He is
recognized AS high class man, one
of education and specially versed
in the science of municipal govern
ment. About all the newspapers
in Chicago except the Hearst ipa-
pers advocated his election, and
Mr.. Hearst some years ago was de-
nunciatory in his tone toward Car
ter Harrison.
But without regard to the merits
of either,candidates, the fact is that

shipment and have not been re-
placed by the company.
After waiting a sufficient length
of time for the piano, we endeavor-
ed to make tho situation clear to
the company. They wrote that
the piano had been shipped, claim
ed delays, etc. They set the time
of closing the contest on a certain
date, but inasmuch as the contest
ants were not active enough to
suit the company, the date of clos
ing was withdrawn. The right to
close the contest rests with the
Western Music Company.
Later, the company advised us
that they wished to close the con-
test, and instructed us how to pro-
ceed in the matter. These instruc-
tions we're carried out to the letter.
Extra votes were offered week after
week, but contestants who had not
already dropped out remained in
active up to the time and since we
were prevented by illness from
looking after the matter.
Of course the Western Music
Co., in engaging in this contest, ex-
pected to receive the value of one
of their pianos at least, but they
have not received half the value
including all the special prizes
awarded. This being true, they
probably did not feel justified, &C
cording to the amount they have
received, in bringing the contest
to close until they had assurance
of the contestants making good
1t is often the case in contest of
this kind more subscriptions are
turned in on the closing day of the
contest than all the balance of the
time put together Doubtless the
company figured on this, and if the
total amount received had been
only little less than the actual
value of the instrument they would
have closed the contest; but with
the work of the contestants before
them it is more than likely they
were unwilling to take chances of
setting q date for the final closing
of the contest.
Without hearing from them we
take the above view of it. Then
again, the contestants apparently
abandoned the contest at the time
when the best inducements were
offered for subscriptions. This is
the situation of the contest, which
is not closed. The closing rests
with the Western Music Go. The
company has received its prorata
part of the total amount turned in
on subscriptions by contestants up
to the time they dropped tof the
contest. In the meantime The
Chronicle is filling out the sub
scriptions thus received in good
faith, even though it is a heavy
expense to us.

A man debating letter to an
other man with whom he had
quarreled, wrote thus: Owing to

were trying to solve this problem
when sickness overlook us last
October. In order that our read.
ers and friends may better under
stand the present situation of the
contest We will endeavor to answer
the question by explaining some
facts not known to the public.
In the first place The Chronicle
entered into contract with the
Western Music Co., whereby we
agreed to conduct a popular gill
voting contest. 1t was agreed, and
is so expressed in the contract, that
the Western Music Co. was to furn-
lsh all prizes given to contestants,
including one piano and such other
special prises as appeared advisable
to the company. IN compensation
dor which the said Western Music
GO. sis to have absolute supervision
of the contest in every way, such as
furnishing the rules governing the
contest; the kind and quality of
advertising matter to appear in the
paper; the kind and quality of spe-
cial prizes to be given; when to be
given, and to specify the purpose
for which they are given; to an
Eounce the closing date and hour;
to have absolute supervion of the
counting of the ballots so their
(the Western Music Co. .'s) interest
may be properly guarded" and to
receive from the publisher a per
cent of all moneys collected on new
subscriptions and renewals; such
moneys to be remitted to the said
Western Music Co. at their general
Office once each week, accompanied
by weekly report of all business
pertaining 10 tDetconteSt.
It was agreed upon the part of
The Chronicle to furnish free to
the Western Music Co. space in
the paper forsuch advertising copy
as may be furnished from time to
time by the wv estern Music Co.;
alsc all printing in connection with
the contest, without charge; the
Western Music Co. agreeing to pay
all additional expense, such as post
age, express, etc.
About two hundred young ladies
in the county and score or more
out Of the county were nominated
in the.contest. Quite number of
the young ladies did very good
work for the first few weeks of the
contest. But the company was not
satisfied with results, and under
instructions special prizes, extra
votes and free votes were offered
in each voting period of the con-
test. Still, the contestants "a few
eKcepted) from some cause, failed
to respond and take advantage of
the inducements thus offered.
One reason, they were waiting
for the piano to be placed on exhi-
bition. While here the agent of
the Western Music Go. informed
us that the piano would be shipped
as soon as the contest was fairly
started, and it was SO explained to
the young ladies, who, also, seemed
to get the same idea in regard to
the special prizes. When we wrote
to the company in regard to the
matter, they explained that it had
been their custom to deliver all
prizes at close of contest and same
would be awarded by the judges.
However, they agreed, inasmuch
as the young ladies were expecting
them, to ship the prizes as they
were awarded by us. They did SO,
and the three special prizes, S25
Rogers silver dinner set, a $2O
silver set, spd necklace, have been
delivered to contestants. iOf the
