We ahall say aa much up to the day of election, and ahall regard every vote cast In support of the ticket as an emphatic protest against your execution. That is what the party-was organized for. ana that is its platform. Now, Wednesday or Thursday the Supreme Court will announce its decision.

The chances are that it will be against you. As soon as the decision Is announced we want you to speak on the decision, and we will use what you say as campaign material. There will not be time to get each one of you to speak, and you. as mouthpiece for the rest, can do the talking. I will see you aa soon as possible alter the decision is announced, and what yeu say will be immediately printed for Use.

The same evening a meeting to ratify the Sooialistio ticket was held in West Twelfth Street Turner-Hail, and all the speakers-Sloan, Randall, Coulter, Morgan, and even C. Q. Dixon appealed for votes for their ticket next Tuesday on the ground that it would be, a protest against the hanging of the condemned seven. "Judge Gary," shouted Sloan "every vote against him is a vote for amnesty," Apd thus went on all the blathering knaves and cunning demagogs through the whole meeting. Those rascals know quite well that the vote next Tuesday will not have the least effect oa Gov.

Qgleaby, the sole arbiter in the case now. It serves their demagog purpose to pretend that it will. They hope on false pretenses to secure some votes of weak sentimentalists who, through motives of pity, wish the sentence of the unfortunate men commuted. If it shall give them only a few additional votes their purpose will be served. Some of the demagogs utilized this sentiment last year to get elected to office.

Others tried to do so, while the leaders, no doubt, became more important persons on account of the magnitude of the vote cast at the time. Since then the eyes of the workingmen have been opened to the designs of the demagogs on account of the split among themselves. Even the convicted Anarchists seem to understand them, for Spies has refused point blank to be a party to the demagog scheme proposed by the cunning Gruenhut. All the unselfish friends of tha condemned men have condemned it, and will mark their condemnation with emphasis Tuesday by spurning the tickets of the base traffickers in human life.

son. Kelson Cool, Bremen. Seldom in the history of Cook County has a batter tieket beeo. preset lad to tha people for their suffrages. The, re Is not a bad man among the nominees.

Judge Gsry is an. upright, fearless jurist it not necessary to speak in terms of eulogy, as his name is a household word, far beyond the limits of Chicago. He is eminent for his legal knowledge, loved for his own love of justice, and esteemed aad honored for aia 10 tegrity and rectitude. No better or purer Judge has adorned the bench of Cook County, Judge Longenecker has filled the position ef Assistant State's Attorney for a number of years. He a a man of ripe experience and admitted legal ability, fully acquainted with all the duties of the office to which be aspires.

lie has assisted, ia all me important cases which have occupied the attention of the Criminal Court for years, and knows the history and the merits of every case now pending in the Superior Court on apiteal from the lower courts, la point of ability, availabilty, and experience he. is the very best mao that could ba nominated for tha office. No one questions his integrity or his high sense of honor and public duty. Mr. Sciine, the candidate for President of the County Board, has faithfully served Cook County as Commissioner for many years.

He was honest among thieves, and did all that a man could do to keep them from stealing. He is an excellent presiding officer, and knows the financial history and present condition of Cook County better, perhaps, than any man living. As Mayor of Cook County he will be the right man in the right placo. The other nominees for Commissioner a "6 gentlemen of approved integrity and tried business capacity. Not one of them has sought the office.

They have been nominated on account of their fituess. They will be eieeted for the same reason. There eugbt to be a full vote for this ticket nest Tuesday. The Democrats and "free-lunch" Socialists have united against tha ticket. It will ha necessary that the Republicans shall rally to the support of the ticket in the city if they would win.

There is great danger in over-confidence. A N0N-PAKTISAN JTJBY C0MMI8SI0N. The advocates of the Jury CommiHsion law have never claimed that there was an express provision of that statute for the appointment of Commissioners taken from the three Dolitical parties of Cook Count v. It was be hoved by those who drafted the law that it would not be In oe4 taste to insert such a provision, as the spirit of all our laws in relation to jurors ignores political distinctions and differences. Nor was it deemed necessary that it should be inserted, as at tha time of tha mssim of tha bill, and when it was reported from the committee, the Judses of Cook Countv were equally divided between the two lead ing political parties, and one-third of their number had been indorsed for election bv the Labor party at the time they were before the people as candidates.

The feeling in favor of a non-partisan judiciary in this eoun. ty was known to be strong, ana it was not oeuevea unaer tne circumstances that it would be good taste to make seerainsriy partisan provision by statute for appointments tp he made by the Judges. The number of the Commissioners, however, was fixed at three, in tha behef that when the Judges came to make the selections they would name in the non partisan spirit of their own election representatives of tha Democratic, tha Republican, and the Labor parties. And undoubtedly this will be the ranm followed if tha law is adopted. There are ten Republicans and ten Democrats wtui are Judges.

Of the twepty, eight namely: Jamieson, Hawes, Anthony, Prendergast, Altgeld, Williamson, Waterman, and Knickerbockerhad been elected within the year as a result partly of the Labor party's indorsement. A number of tha older Judges, like Tuley and McAllister, were understood 10 sympathise with the workingmen, and it was deemed probaDla that they would insist on giving the Labor party a representation among the Jury CommisipnerSi as they had given them anion? the Justices of tha Peace for the city a few months before. So that, though partisan provision was expressly made for non-partisan appointment of Commissioners, the law was so framed that the Judges could make such appointments, and in the behef that they would. And it may be added that the warmest neaee ef the law will urge such appointments, and are fully convinced that the Judges will not disappoint them. As an earnest of what they intend to do, the statement of Judge Shepard iP in interview published in the Times yesterday may be quoted.

The Judge said expect to fee one Democrat, one llrpnblic-an, and one United Labor man appointed Jury Commissioners, and I expect they will be put there because they are such." WHAT THE JURY LAW WOULD HAYS PREVENTED. gad the new Jury law on which the people are to vote next Tuesday been adopted four years ago there would be no eeeasion to sub mit the question of issuing a million of bor js te pay the floating indebtedness of the county, piled up by the boodle Commissioners during their saturnalia of blackmail and public plunder, for there would have been very little boodiing and no debt as a consequence. Not even the most hardened ef the convicted boodlers would have dared to organize for plunder if their acts had been sure to be subjected to investigation tweiye times a year by grand juries of independent citizens, or if the question of their complicity had to be presented before a jury of impartially selected citizens of different occuwitions or by a grand jury beyond their control. They would long have hesitated before they began to steal bad they not had in their own hands the selection of investigating grand juries and trial juries. Kven if Van Pen aad Wasserman aad equally reckless and greedy were disposed to Uke the risks they would have found it no easy matter to make up a "combine" sirpng enough to -amr robber schemes throusrh the County Board.

Would suen a squealer as Lynn have joined with Van and McGangle vonaua to aetrayd jhe feixpayerf if he was sure that the transactions of the board would e.ver be investigated by honest and intelligent men? Would the whimpering Klefam ever hav in the plunder operations, or the cautious Geils or Farmer McClaughry Would Cai selman or Oliver have periled his reputation by such an alliance, or would tealLi- dread of monthly investigation by independ ent grand juries before him! Would the respectable Abbott or the pious Robinson or tha homespun Gray or the Christian Cly- bourn have been so profuse with his bribes had Cook County been under an honest and impartially administered Jury law! Hardly. There would have be? very little plunder, net because those men would hsye heap more honest-minded, but because they would have bad a wholesome fear pf detection and the consequences of stealing befora them. They would nave, tried to keep within the county and probably thsy would have succeeded. These are pertinent facta for every voter to think about next Tuesday. Every man who comes to vote on tne question of county bonds should remember to vote for the Jury Commission law, so as to be saved the necessity of having to vote for bonds some Ume in the future to pay off debts piled up by other boodle Commissioners encouraged te mifar upder a Jury liw administered loosely and improperly.

A vote for the reform Jury law is a vote for economy and honesty in county affairs, as well as for unfixed Jurors. The administra tion of the law by a commission will not cost to exooea 113,000 per annum. The present law costs in its administration by the County Board four times that sum. It has encouraged the plunder of millions. From every point of view the new Jury law is worthy of support.

CQXSZJCNEJ it TH1 JURY, HOT BT THS COURT. The misleading pamphlet of Gen. M. M. Trumbull, now being distributed- in Cbicago by the friends of the Anarchists, occasionally makes a correct statement in regard to the Anarchist trial.

For instance, in one place the author says: "Not only did the jury have despotic power over tne evidence, but they were msde critics and reviewers of the trial court itself." Certainly. That la the requirement ef the judicial system of Illinois, whioh makes the jury the judge both of tha facts and the law, and restricts the court to the duty of excluding improper testimony and acting as a general moderator. Gen. Trumbull's unguarded statement as to the power of the Jury la fatal to his subsequent claim that tne verdict was based on tha inverted logio of the court," and that a false conclusion was reached because of alleged contradictory and confused instructions. No juryman was required under the Constitution and law of this State to pay the slightest attention to any instruction which he thought contradictory, unsatisfactory, or incorrect.

AH that the court couid do was to offer suggestions, and the jurors gave them such weight as they saw fit. It was a trial by jury by twelve judges taken from the body of the people in the mode prescribed by law not by a court, ana the jurors must have been fully satisfied as to the law bearing on the matter. If there bad been any confusion, doubt, or uncertainty in their minds regarding tne law a verdict of guilty could not have been reached. The Jurors were told that they were judges both of the law and the auta, aa tha statute declares, and re quested by the Judge himself to disregard any unguarded expressions which may have crept into the so-called instructions anything savoring of an opinion touching the facts and to look solely to the evidence themselves. Accordingly, it could net possibly have been any bad law pr faulty reasoning of the court that convicted the Anarchists, They were condemned by a jury, and necessarily because the jurors were convinced of their guilt.

No man can be condemned in this State on technicalities or because of the blunders of a Judge. The jury is supreme in Illinois, and the common-sense judgment of the jurors as to tha fact of guilt cannot be disturbed by any court further than to award a new trial and appeal to another jury to review the Biatter. All the Judges in Illinois together cannot convict any one of an infamous crime. The Governor alone can disregard the verdict of a jury. And while the all-powerful jury is formally instructed as to the law, it can disregard anything which it considers absurd, contradictory, or unreasonable.

The whole idea of the system is to reach substantial, actual justiee aa it appears to the minds ef twelve impartial cjtjaeps representing tha community at large. The jury in the Anarchist ease a jury without a capitalist on it, but containing men whp work with their hands for a living, and at least one citizen of foreign birth pronounced (he Anarchists guilty of tha crime charged; and in reaching this conclusion they were bound to respect the law laid down by the court only so far as they considered it sound and clear. How different would have been the trial ia England, where Gen. Trumbull came from Instead of months spent in examining oyer 900 men in selecting a Jury the panel would nave been completed in a day, and the tr jal would have been finished in a week, instead of two or three months. In summing up the Judge would have sifted tha evidence and lp-atructedthe jury what weight to attach to each piece of testimony, and practically, what verdict to find.

Instead of eighteen months spent in the tmal and successive hear ings ia appellate courts, the Anarchists would haye been executed within three or four weeks after their arrest. Whatever fault may be found with the Illinois system of criminal practice, it cannot be said that it fails to guard the rights" of" defendants" or omits any precaution necessary to base ver dicts on the actual fact of iruilt. Had the Anarchists been tried in England and found guilty they would have bad no ap peal to any higher court, and their only chance for escape would haye been tha ex ercise of the pardoning power by the Queen. Being tried in Illinois they have had an appeal to two Supreme Courts, each of which might have set Ihem free, and af Ler failing there still have left a door of escape in the mercy of the Governor. INFAMOUS SOCIALISTIC POLITICAL DEKA- ooos.

Wkheat doubt the most dangerous ibe condemned Anarchists now have are the political knaves and demagogs who in the guise of friendship for them are seeking to make political capital out of their conviction. senience, and possible execution. The agitators hope that the condemned men ucill ho hanged, believing that the political labor movement will obtain an impetus thereby aud that their pwn importance as Dolitical leaders will be enhanced. The spirit in which uiey are acting may be fairly iudired bv tha talk, in which they indulge. One of their number named Wellington said Friday in the hearing of a Tm xe reixirter anil re ply to an observation that the condemned seven could not be pardoned under the law unless they signed a petition asking for par- don: Well.

As esteemed contemporary has a good deal to aay about what it call the County Chair-Jiiaq muddle." There ip no muddle. The Jaw is perfectly plain, and admits ot no doubtful interpretation. Next Tuoeday every oter in the county will have a chanee to express at the polls his preference for that tlhnirmanship, and whether the candidate of liis choice lives in tne country or the city t'oramissioners' district makes no difference svith his right to east his ballot for him. Our e. should not try to make a muddle when jione exists simply because it was perversely and stupidly ojiiwsed to any reform of tne Commissioner law.

It is stated that Mr. Edward Blake, who resigned the leadership of the Canadian Liberals some months ago, is about to take up his residence iu London and to enter the British Parliament on the adviee of Mr. fjiadstone, who has a high appreciation of iiia abilities as an orator and statesman. Mr. Blake is now in Ireland and has eea making vigorous home-rule speeches rom the Land League platferm.

Dat after tomorrow tlj present political will close. It has been in some jioUble respects unique. For the first time ine the Republican party was organized it put a ticket in the field in this county which is wholly above attack, as well as re-juoacb. Not unfrequently the Republican press grumbles and reoels, but in this case not even the opiosition press has a word to ay against any! part of the ticket, from iioed to foot it is confessedly good. It is for lb people to say at the polls next Tuesday whether such nominations are cood politics "or not.

The majority rolled up for these nominees should be so large that the j-ohticians of both parties will be indelibly impressed with the conviction tjiat tne better the tieket tie large- tne vote.

WHY COAX THXX 80 1 It is a question whether the moral suasion which is being brought to bear upon three or four of the unwilling Anarchists to sign a petition to the Governor for commutation is net overdone. Those who are not willing to sign of their own volition know their business.

They are not boy or hysterical women. They counted the cost when they went into the conspiracy. They knew what it entailed. Then why should such superhuman pressure be made upon them to. ask the Governor to commute their sentence to imprisonment for life (for that is the only change the Uuve.ro.or would make) against their own inclinations, judgments, and wishes! it not trifling with the easel Is it not ungrateful to those who were at so much trouble to apprehend, try, and convict them, at personal risk to themselves, if Anarchist threats mean anything? There is little or no chance of a commuta tion of sentence in the case ef four of these men unless they freely ask for it.

Even then their fate would be extremely doubtful. But in any event, why should individuals and committees by day and by night swarm into the jail ana torture these men to sign a formal petition? Suppose they should drag out of them their consent to sign, and the Gov ernor should act upon it and send them to the penitentiary, these. yery men would only curse their friends who compelled them tedo it. Signing petition of their own volition is one thins; and signing out ef compulsion to please friends is another. There is a wide difference in personally coming forward and asking for clemency and in askipg for it un willingly and under moral compulsion.

Four of these men, at least, have written letters with great care and deliberation to the Gey- ernor, notifying him that they will not ac cept a commutation of sentence. Why, then, should they be tertured to change their purpose! What right have people to torment them I What right hs the Governor himself to compel them to accept a commutation which they have personally and very defiantly notified him they don't want and will not have; THs OOVXBMOR'I 7ARQ0JiDia POWEB. The more the question is examined the more doubtful it becomes whether if any of the Anarchists refuse to ask or accent a com mutation of sentence the Governor can inter fere in their behalf at aJL What spectacle would be presented if Gov, Oglesby should commute the sentences ef some of the pris oners against their will and protest au4 a writ of habeas corpus should be sued eut to inquire into the legality of their detention, in the penitentiary Assuming that in such a case the courts. acting as a branch of the State Government coordinate with the Executive, would not venture to question the action of the Gov ernor, it is still hardly to be supposed that me vnifii Magistrate of Illinois will usurp power not granted him simply because the courts could or would net interfere and an impracticable impeachment would bo the only remedy for the abuse of authority. Be- lore granting commutation of sentence Gov.

Oglesby will certainly demand that application be made as the law requires and in such manner as to give him jurisdiction and power to act. If any of the Anarchists refuse to ask or accept a commutation of sentence it can only be said that they deliberately put themselves outside the pale, of possible mercy and the Governor will not be to blame for letting the law take its course. In this State the pardoning power ef the Governor is lMited botn by the Constitution and the statutes in a manner whioh seems to make an application for clemency and an acceptance of the mercy granted absolutely necessary. The Governor is not required 10 grant pardons in any instance, but is simply permitted to do so subject to certain regulations in regard to the manner in which application must be made, and the law cannot be read to mean that clemency can be foreed on a prisoner unasked and against his protest. If the Governor has such authority it is constructive, and powers of this class are not usually rer garded as belonging to the Executive.

Constitutions are limitations on the power ef the Legislature, but grants to the Executive, and in the latter case convey only such authority as is clearly and definitly expressed. In Illinois the Governor i6 empowered to grant pardons and commutations Moa written application signed by the prisoner or some one in his behalf, and the doctrine that a pardon must be accepted before becomin" operative seems well established in the highest courts. In Bishop's work on criipjnal law it is said A pardon to be valid must be delivered, and, like a deed to land, accepted bv the grantee Wnere ttuere is no acceptance it is void. Said Chief-Justice Marshall, rendering an opinion of the United States Supreme Court: A pardon is a deed, to the validity of which delivery 15 fssenljaj, and delivery js npt complete u-tthoot acceptance, may tnea t)it frfon to utiom it it tendered; and, it reicetei we have discovered no power in the courts lo jorce on Aim may be supposed that no toeine, condemned to death, would reject a pardon; but the rul must be the gaie ja capital cas as in mis-tlemeanors. A pardon may be conditional, and the condition may be more objectionable than the inflicted by the judgment.

Possibly the Governor might arbitrarily and under cover his office grant a commutation of sentence without authority, force it on a prisoner, and compel Sheriffs and Wardens to obey his illegal orders in such a case, but it is not to be supposed that Gov. Oglesby would attempt such action. The condemned Anarchist, should understand, onee for ail, that the nly xchance to secure clemency is to ask it, and, when It is understood that the Goudv Democrats will print their South Town tickelsin favor af the naeatioa of Hyde Prk and Brighton Park and against tba annexation of Lake; their West Town tickets for the annexation of Cicero and probably sgainst the annexation of Jefferson; and the North Town tickets for and against tha annexation of Lake View. The ia the various country towns will be printed te correspond. The Lawicrites will probably pript their tickets for or Sgainst annexation, according to financial considerations.

The will print their South Town and Hyde Park and Brighten Park tickets for annexation and their North Towa and Lake View tickets against Under the circumstances it will depend almost wholly on tha Republican voters in the South Town whether Hyde Park nd Brighton Park, are taken in. If naif the Republican vote ia for annexation it will be earned. Lake View. Notwithstanding the somewhat cheeky request of Officeholder Beth Hanchett to hare the Republics tieksts for Lake View printed against aaatisUoa is probable that a Urge majority of the Republican voters living in that suburb will declare east Tessas? ia Jsrer of joining Chicago. They have not the same interest in remsiaing eat that Haocaett has.

They do not ge a salary pf Mi.iOO pgr an pant and the interest en 1100,000 of school money every vear as he does for playing at School Treasurer. Indeed, the indications are qw that Lake View will come in, notwithstanding the desperate efforts of officeholders. That the lattar are badly scared is evidenced by the fact that some of their emissaries according to a local paper are around among the Lake View saloonkeepers "promising privileges under the local government, such as permission to remain open after midnight and keep poker-rooms." There is as doubt that many of ibeealoonisU are being made enthusiastic anti-annexsUonisU through such promises. Probably there are sorne residents of the northern town besides officeholders who will ratify the arrangement by their votes Tuesday, They may prefer that tne gamblers bow out of occupation in Chicago may make the northern city the basis of future operations in their line their home and eiamping'-grouiid. Taoas people may also pre-fer the vicinity of the all-night saloons wKh its jolly revelers, it carousel, aad the edifying accompaniments.

Ail who are in faror of this new destiny marked out for Lake View by its enterprising and patriotic officials will vote against annexation next Tuesday under the leadership of School Treasurer Jlancbett, City Tfesswrer Ldl, Boldenweck. and reformer" Compton.

It will be a good thing to chanra from Lbe Board of County Commissioners at any cost, but I despjae the idea ot thrusting these aemi-iudichd udties oa the judiciary.

Constant criticism of the Judges, even in things not judicial, must affect public respect for the position more or less, and that is always to be deprecated. I am af raid the Commissioners will be selected according to their politics. I expect to see one Democrat, one Republican, and one United Labor man appointed, and expect they will be put there because they are such. They may haye other qualihcations. but their political qualifications will be flrt considered.

I haven't thought much about the constitutionality of the law, but I have no doubt it is constitutional if the sew Election law is. It is well known that with the probable of Judge Tulcy and Judge Prendergast the Democrat Judges favor this law. All the Republican Judges wish tt adopted.

The article was an original contribution ftpm Mr. rnaeily 'explaining his Tiier. seems to be no doubt now that Hydo Park will declare for annexation next Tuesday by a large majority. Those who are promoting the movement are active, zealous, and well organized. They have had the best of the argument so far and do not propose to forego any advantage they have gained thereby at the polls.

They will have volunteer ticket-peddlers at each precinct who will be fully able to cope with the representatives of the local officeholders. Some of the latter, seeing how the vote is likely to result and looking to the future, are beginning to weaken in their opposition. The action of Trustees Colt and McCloud. two of the best members of the Village Board, has greatly encouraged those policemen, firemen, and schoolteachers who have all along favored annexation secretly to come eut openly in its ave. They knew that they will be better off as to pay and tenure of office upder the City Government than under a petty village government.

It seems somewhat churlish under the circumstances to place any obstacle in the way or Hyde Park's coming in. The Republicans of the South Town should print tickets for the annexation pfHyoe Park in addition to those to be printed for and against. Tha Democrats, it is said, tinder the influence of seme ef the party leaders in Hyde Park, will priDt all the tickets for annexation of Hyde Park and Brighton Park. Some Republican tickets should be printed the same way. There is serious danger that the South will declare against annexation.

Fully 90 per cent of the South Town Republicans favor the admission of Hyde Park. Tha membera of tha campaign committee from the South Side, Messrs. Keith and Gilbert, favor annexation. They ought to be allowed to print a large number of tickets in favor of annexation for use in the South Town. Tickets should also be printed in favor of the annexation of tha Brighton Park district.

During the last year boodlers wero ferreted out and brought to punishment, reformatory legislation was secured, and the way cleared for a new era in county politics.
