It is sincerely hoped here that Illinois, as repre-- sented by its State Senate, will not lend approval and encouragement to further disgraceful irregularities through the ratification of the "reward" W. J. Smith received at the hands of Governor Small. ~-- 'iRatification of Governor Small's major :appointment in this connty will be looked upon here as approval by the Senate of methods universally condemned, of tact-- feargrossly wrong and altogether at variance with every right principle.. Lake county has experienced a political contamination it in no wise approves. . Editor 'Smith It is hardly conceivable to Lake county people® the Tilinois Senate will ratify the Governor's reward to Editor Smith and thereby indicate its arigust approval of tactics so raw and ethics so defamed. If the Senate could sense the alkmost universal disgust existing and quite generally expressed througnout Lake counrty rel-- ative to the Small trial and the resultanit significant "rewards" it would promptly rebuke those responsible for behaviour which shocked the sensibilities of men and mwdflrm.hm#.fidrh nations of the rest of the state.
