THE HARRISON MACHINE IN CHICAGO.

We advise republicans to be msed by the false
political pretense respect to the Chicago election If it
that Chicago democratic city the fact that has elect
ed republican by big plurality might be significant
but Chicago is not and the organization Of the repub
party has been strictly speaking democratic city
Three times during the last fifty Chicago has given
purates to democratic presidential candidates. Tilden
carried it in 1876 by margin, did Cleveland in 1888
The only time Chicago gave democratic presidential
ddae emphatic majority in 1892 when Cleveland had
lead of $4,000 and carried the state At the election of 1912
Roosevelt and Taft combined had against Wilson's $780,
900. In 1896 the republican plurality $4,000; in 1900
1000; in 1904, 100000 in 1908, $4,000.
Error to Chicago political status arises from the fact
that locally has been governed most of the time for thirty
six by Harrison party operating under the democratic
but having other connection with the national organ
zaon This party has been made up Of democrats repub
and socialists who have cooperated in favor of loosely
administered city government Nobody but Harrison has
been able to make such combination under socaled demo-
cratic auspices When the this year, Harrison lost
the democratic nomination. his party had further
interests democracy and most it's members evidently voted
the republican ticket.
