Friday night’s caucus was a unique “nit. A caucus is supposed tobol'gatharing 0! mac! acorn- mon politbal faith to select men to represent them in a convention. But our caucus was nothing of the kind. In the first place it did not represent the Republicans of this city. High- land Park and old Deerfield, in- deed, are for Lyon, and we have told Mr. Steams so all the time. The caucus was practically run by Mr. Obee, and that is where thetun comes in. It has been understood here for months that Mr. Ghee was “down” on Mr. Stearns. One of the best informed politicians ‘in tovvn told us Ob‘ee “would knife Stearns every chance he got,” and Stearns told us a 'few days since that he so understood it. And yet Ohm fan that caucus for “all there was in it” for Stearns: every one “of the-dele- gates elected, save Major Vailyywas a Steams man, and they vvere _ elected because they were .known to be Stearns men, and selected as we know in somecasee by Obeehimself. Now whet puzzles the ordinary mind is what so euddenly and surely wrought such a radical and hostile. adversary into so 'werm a bosom friend and active working supporier. One ray of light sometimes works wonders in a dark room; one fact may explain very much. On Thurs. day an agent, messenger ‘Or friend of Mr. Stearus reached the Park with very positive orders to “see Mr. Obee the first, thing.” The agent saw him and returned with a smile on his face, repeating the familiar worde‘of the immortal lesson. “veni, vidi, vici,” whieh trnmla'tedinto the vernacular somewhat freely, would mean, I went~ to Oboe. I- saw Oboe, I transformed Oboe rom 'a hostile foe into a friend and unpporter? Now what argument did he nee? ' Ducats, doubloons, or dollars!

What we want to know. and what the public wants to know. is what" kind of honest. sincere, 'manly poli- tics is that which is born of such a "flop" as Obee’s from a bitter foe to an active friend and ardent sup- porter. The citizens of Highland Park are not fools, and they know that a man wanting to knife Stearns on Wednesday is not out working for delegates for Stearns on‘Thurs. day and Friday, for nothing.“ How came all those wOrking men in that ball that night; had any one seen them? Do any of them work on the new Cashing hotel where Oboe is in charge of much of the, work? . That Bridge.
