The canvass for Member of the Board of Equalization is progressing favorably and every indication points to the nomi­ nation of Geo. W. Eldredge fey a hand some majority. The opposition is strain­ ing every nerve, bat in the minds of the people there are several points which they have failed to make clear. Their facts and figures acted as a boomerang, rto SO- tljr1 reading public art» auxiou* to have them arise and answer a few plain questions that have been propounded to them in relation to said figures, but they are si­ lent and dodge the question. The facts are they had manipulated the figures to suit their own ends and when the facts were brought out in their true colore they quietly crawl in their holes, while the reading public brand them as deceivers. Again, at the beginning of the canvas they attempted to manipulate these same figures to show what great things their candidate had done while a Member of the Board, by their language intimating that if he were not kept on the Board the State would go into bankruptcy or some­ thing worse, when the facts are, as shown by the records, he has not in any one poini done better than any former mem­ ber from this ^District, and as regards corporations, not as well. This is a mat­ ter of record and any may see it for them­ selves who choose. The Ring evidently overreached themselves in the beginning, While we do not claim for Mr. Eidreuge any preeminence over other men who have or may hereafter fill this office, we do say that his ability as a financier, honesty and integrity, as a sound and consistent Republican, and a hustler in the cause of right, he stands second to no man in McHenry county, and if devotion to principle and hard work in the cause entitles a pan to recognition then Mr. Eldredge's claims are head and shoulders above any man who has held the office for three terms and is now asking for a fourth© Besides this Mr. Eldredge lives in a town that has never asked for nor had a place on the State or County Ticket, and which, according to popula­ tion, casts a larger Republican vote than any town in the county. These are but a few of the Aany reasons which his friends put forth in his behalf and we be­ lieve his claims will be recognized by the delegates in Convention assembled April 23d, and that the State ticket will read For Member of the State Board of Equalization, Fifth District, GBOBGE W. ELDREDGE, of Richmond. #****.

Fifer is to be his own euccessor as Governor of the great State of Illinois. The politicians may growl and squirm, it i#ho use, the people are for Private Joe and will stand by him to the end, and he will be nominated and elected by one of the grandest majorities ever given a Governor in this State. It is amusing to, see the shifts and turns resorted to in try­ ing to create an opposition to him, while the Governor is growing stronger every day in all parts of the State.

In nning they at temped to show by and figures that he was the only in the District competent to fill that ice, but when we volunteered to assist them to make the figures tell the truth, tbey are all at once as silent as clams. Now boys don't stop off short. Give us a little history as to how it was bene- fcial to the people of this District to make reductions of 20 to 28 per cent on general property and 60 percent on Rail­ roads and Corporations. It is a(auestion -pp# are anxious to have you explain. THE STATE AUDITOR. No better man, truer American, or more staunch Republican can be found to fill the important office than Henry L. Hertz, of Chicago. He has filled the office of Coroner of Cook county for ti»e past eight years with marked ability and at bis last canvas ran ahead of his ticket 12,000 votes, showing conclusively that bis services were appreciated by those of both political factions. He is a gentle­ man of sterling business qualities and executive ability and no man in the Btate of Illinois is more widely known or has . done better work for the Republican party than he. During th# Anarchist riots in Chicago he was chief among those to bring the guilty parties to trial and conviction, the result pf which every na­ tion on the globe is ndw fully conversant. No name will add mojt-e to the strength of the Republican ticket than that of H«nry L. Hertz, and the party can may too mistake in his nomination as Auditor v of the State.--Cheno/i Gazette.

Jv v,; 'it Pithy, Pointed and P Hill is going South, but what' land going to do? There is at least one place in Iowa, and one in New York where speech isn't free, if the newspaper reports of the mobbing of the Free Methodists at Corning, in the former state, and the dragging of a preacher from the platform at Yonkers, in the latter state, may be relied upon. The race war in Tennessee is some months ahead of schedule time; the Pres­ idential election will not be held until November. Charles A. Dana has come out for Hill. Poor Hill. | Great is the American heart. Ship number two has sailed for Russia with a full cargo of provisions for" the starving citizens of that county, in spite of the refusal of the democratic majority of the House of Representatives to allow this Government to aid in the nob'e charity A Washington newspaper man was rash enough recently, to try to locate Senator Hill on the free coinage question, by asking him point-blank whether he would vote for or against the bill should it come before the Senate. "I will not cross that bridge before 1 get to it," was the Senator's diplomatic reply. Would that the country had more fail­ ures like reciphxJrty, which has in nine months increased our exports to Porto Rico more than 30 per cent, and in swin­ gle month increased our exports of flour to Cuba more than 700 per cent. It is just as well for the Hill boomers to remember that Tammany never nam­ ed a winner in a Presidential race. Ex-Representative Weaver's book, "A Call to Action," is a straight bid for the third party nomination. One experience in that line is evidently not enough for Weaver. Five-cent Holman tried to derail a lit­ tle appropriation bill reported from the committee on Agriculture, but engineer Hatch put on a full head of steam and opening the throttle wide carried his bill pick himself up as best he might. The United States is about the only civilized country without stringent laws against the adulteration of food; still Congress shows no anxiety to pass the Paddock Pure Food bill. The man who can find signs of a repub­ lic in the recent disturbances in Germany has microscopic eyes. Representative Bailey, of Texas, the kid of the House," is evidently jealous of the reputation enjoyed by his col­ league Representative Kilgore, as a kick­ er, and he proposes to kick continuously the House legislating without a quorum, as it has been doing. Bully for Bailey. Chicago never gets left, whether it be in M^orld's Fair* or dynamite cranks after its millionaires. It is bound kave everything that is going. A good many Democrats would like to be struck by the same sort of a boome­ rang that has hit David B. Hill. "I am a Republican," said Senator Stanford when asked if he would accept the Presidential nomination of the third Party. _ ; ^ f A/- ion oft he Glover nor. STMHCVOR, HI., March 3.--Wilt you kindly allow me through the columns of your far-reaching paper to sag a word to the wage-workers of our great State of Illinois in reference to "Private Joe" for Governor? As the time is fast approaching for the nrimnry Txi*!9t!T>2fs to be held for the pur­ pose of electing and instructing delegates to the county and state conventions, and as the primaries are the first step to be taken in our political doty, a little advice is seasonable. It has been through the criminal neglect ol our political duty that men have been elected to office that have not and never had any sympathy with labor. * Now let me say that we as workingmen in Illinois have a candidate for Governor that from his boyhood to the present time, has always been with the people. Born in obscurity and poverty, and who swelled the ranks of labor f himself as a wage earner, he knows full well what a laboring man has to contend against for a living. While Governor of this State he has done more for the laboring classes th&u any other governor of this or any other State of the Union, and I might say that he has done more than any other ruler known in the wide world to-day. Perhaps you will say that I have gone too far in my remarks on Governor Fifer. Jiftf ua looUc Slid In flprBr»<F f)f 1889 the coal-workers of Northern Illi­ nois were on a strike. A great battle was being fought. The privations and sufferings of that strike for the want of necessaries of life are in the memory of every coal miner in this northern district. To speak of them only brings back to memory the hunger, the starvation, and the sufferings of that dreadful strike. A convention was called to be held in this city. It met and decided to ask aid from the Governor. A committee was ap­ pointed for that purpose. It went to Springfield and with the five mine inspect­ ors of this State laid the case before Gov. Fifer. He told the committee that the law defined his duty as Governor, but if he could do anything to aid or assist them in their difficulty he would, and would stretch the law as far as was in his power to do in their behalf. It was suggested that a committee be sent to inquire into the condition and position and causes that the miners were placed in. Gov. Filer sent Messrs. Wines and Gould, of the State Board of Public Charities, together with Mr. Wheeler, of the Railroad and WarehouseCommission and they held an investigation at La Salle, 111., and they reported to the Gov- ornor after the investigation. Subse­ quently a report was made to a meeting of mine owners and miners held in Joliet, 111., recommending shorter intervals be­ tween pay days, the removal of truck stores, together with other laws that would be of benefit to the working classes. When the last Legislature convened and passed a number of laws for the ben­ efit of the laboring classes he promptly signed them, against the protests oi those who are now trying to defeat him. He did not set himself up as a Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of an act. Now, my fellow workman, is it asking too much of you in turn to attend the primaries and see that good and true men are sent to county and state conven­ tions. I ask you as one who has repre­ sented my fellow workmen in County, State and National conventions and know of the evils that may be imposed upon us through indifference and neglect of our political duty. So get ready for work and be on guard for it is through such action that we shall get a man of our choice, a man that will do his best for the elevation of man, who is above being trifled with and influen by gigantic lobbyists--a man who will do his best for suffering humanity and deal fairly between capital and labor. The wrongs and evils that have been imposed on us for years demand the nom­ ination and election of Joseph W. Fifer for Governor. The prosperity of the Na­ tion and State demand it. The well-being of society, the protection of our altars and our homes demand it. I am for Fifer because he advocated and signed-jthe labor bills. I am for Fifer because he is for the American laborer. I am for Fifer because he is in favor of Americans^ whether native or foreign born. I myself was born across the ocean. I am for Fifet* ^because he is for the people and the people are for him. I am for Fifep* because he is the strongest candidate. • PATRICK M. MCCALL. mmm The attempts made by the horn- blowers and tom-tdm beaters of tU« Democratic party to make political capital by ringing the changes on the state tax rate is such a transparent fraud that every voter, even the dullest blockhead in that party, ought to be able to see through it. A good many do not, however, and the purpose is to show up that, triple lr» its t.rm» light.. It Is well known that the revenue law of the state requires that property shall be listed for taxation at its fair cash value. It is equally well known that instead of property being listed at its fair cash value that real property is listed at from one-fifth to one-tenth of its cash value, and personal proper­ ty, what little of it that is listed at all, is given in at a much lower valuation, even, than real property. , In 1873 the equalized assessed value of property in the state listed for tax­ ation was $1,355,401,317. In 1878 it had fallen to $857,235,763, and in 1888 it had fallen still further to $784,911,874, being a falling off of nearly 50 per cent, as compared with 1873. In 1891 the valua­ tion had increased to $822,109,429. It is doubtful if one voter in a thousand in the state knows the true reason for this apparent shrinkage in the value of property in the state when everyone with ordinary common sense knows that the real value has at least doubled over that of 1873. In fact, $4,000,000,- 000 would be a moderate estimate of the cash value of all property in the state of Illinois. One mill on the dpllar Or one-tenth of one per cent, on this valu­ ation would prodtlce a million more dol­ lars revenue than the state requires, and this is the explanation of the reduced values of property for taxation. The state consti­ tution limits the tax rate, which cannot be avoided; but, of course, it cannot compel a fair cash talue. So, in order, to reduce the amount of money to be raised and squandered by corrupt officials, the cash value was reduced that the tax rate might be raised to the limit fixed by the constitution. This was what happened. The municipal governments of Chicago and Cook coun­ ty fell into the hands of the democrats, and it was to spve Cook county and the city of Chicago from absolute bank­ ruptcy and ruin by the hoard of demo­ cratic tax eaters and pilferers that the assessed value of property was reduced. Thi^ was demanded by the better class of citizens of both parties, and was con­ sented to on the part of the people of the state, outside of Cook county, and by the state board of equali­ zation simply because it was the only means of ridding that county of an evil which threatened its destruction. If a - republican administration of the affairs of the city of Chicago and Cook county could be permanently assured the assessed value of taxable property in the state of Illinois could be doubled the next year; but the menace of a democratic administration prevents this most desirable end and compels every property-holder in the state when he hands in his assessment roll to com­ mit moral, if not legal, perjury. The enormity of this offense against public morals ought to bring the blush of sham£ to the cheek of every decent democrat in the state, and espectajly in Chicago; but itjdoes not seem to have that effect. On the other hand we aaay ex­ pect sootf to hear the democratic edit­ or and orator howling about the state tax-ratfe and folding up their Tianrlg in holy (Pecksniff!an) horror at the corruption and extravagance of the republican party as exemplified by this outrageous tax-rate. In answer to ihe assertion that taxes have not been reduced since the final payment on account of thte state debt it is only necessary to saw that in 1873, when thie assessed valuje of property was nearly twice as much as it was in 1891, the tax rate was 36 cents on the $100, and in 1891 it was 33 cents on the $100. The amount of state t^xesVaised in 1873 was over $5, 000,000, in 1891 the amount raised was a little over $3,000,000, as s)xmn by the official records. --- fftftring Spring Goocls.

Of Belvide^f lll., candidate for Congress- man-at-large on the Republican ticket, is one of the best known figures in state politics. He has served over twelve years in the legislature, where he has become famous for his able and eloquent speeches. Mr. Fuller is one of the best orators in the Republican ranks. Some of his speeches in the House in the thirty-fifth general assembly were splendid specimens of legislative debate, as for the last si* years his speeches in joint session in con­ nection with senatorial nominations have attracted more than ordinary at­ tention . He has been a leader in legisla­ tive work in one House or the other for eight years, and some of the best laws now on the statute books are evidences of his ability and good judgment. He is popular among Democrats as well as Republicans and would make a strong campaign. In fact it is conceded that he would be a strength to the ticket. There is little or no doubt of his nomination, as nearly every Republican visiting the city from the counties outride speaks in his favor. Cook county will undoubted­ ly give him her Republican vote nearly solid. Mr. Fuller is an able lawyer and is a familiar figure in the supreme courts of the state as well as before the circuit bench of his own county.
