FOR GOVERNOR, EDWARD P. DUNNE. Tho Chicago Eagle is for Edward F. Dunne for Governor of Illinois. The editor of tho Chicago Eaglo has been a personal friend of Edward F.

Dunne for the past thirty-eight years, and tho knowledge of his many good qualities and high character as a man and as an olllclal galucd during that time induces us to unequivocally endorse him for tho position of chief magistrate of Illinois. Edward F. Dunno was born at Watervlllo, on Octobor 12, 1853. 'Within a year his parents moved to Peoria, 111., and here the Bon spent his youth and early manhood. After graduating from tho Peoria public and high schools, Mr.

Dunno was sent to tho world-famous Trinity College nt Dublin to complete his education. For three years ho was honor man of his class, but owing to tho financial reverses of his father ho was obliged to return to Peoria boforo completing his collego education. Whllo at work in his father's mill at Peoria, Mr. Dunno pursued courso of reading with referenco to tho legal profession. In 1870 he regularly began tho study of law in Chicago and in 1ST" was admitted to tho Illinois bar.

In partnership with such distinguished lawyers ns Jutlgo Scntes, formerly of tho Supremo Court of Illinois, and Congressman Hyncs, Mr. Dunno built up largo practice, to which ho devoted his onergles for fif teen years. Ho withdrew from prnc-tlco in 1S02, upon being elected to fill vacancy on tho circuit court bench. Hero ho soon began to mnko a record for Judicial ability nnd fidelity which, strengthening ns It grow, secured his re-election in 1S97 and ngnin In 1003. His nomination for the latter, election was endorsed by tho Bar Association nnd tho various good government organizations nnd newspapers.

In April, 1005, nfter sorvlng thirteen years on tho circuit court 'bench, Judgo Dunno was elected mayor of Chicago. It was solely at tho call of tho peoplo that Judgo Dunne's sphcro of activity In their behalf was trans-ferred from the bench to tho office of mayor of Chicago. Tho all-lmportnnt traction question was to bo settled within tho next two years. The peoplo choso Dunne to settlo It for thorn. Whllo the settlement of tho street car question was perhaps tho crowning achievement of Judgo Dunno's activities ns major, It was not tho only thing ho accomplished for tho city.

He hecurod for Chicago tho first enabling act from tin- Stato legislature under which tho rato of gas could bo fixed by tho city and through tho operation of that law ho bad the price or gas to tho consumers reduced from ono dollar to elghty-llvo cents per ono thousand cubc feet. Judgo Dunno reorganized tho wnter department of tho city of Chicago and placed it upon sound business basis. When he bei-amo mayor ho found that tho packers at tho stock yards wore getting water at the flat rate of four cents per ono thousand gallons and that tho other two million Inhabitants paid rato vnrjing from six to ten cents. Tho smaller consumer paid tho higher price. Judge Dunno Insisted that thf ro be passed an ordinance fix-Ing the rato at tho uniform price of seven cents per ono thousand gallons for all consumers of water, nnd after the City Council had acted favorably upon his recommendation and tho city had n-adjustod Its water business upon tho basis of the now net price, it quickly became appnrent that not only did tho smaller consumer make an appreciable saving, but that the city's revenue from Its water system was larger than ever before.

Ho Instituted for tho first time tho system of having tho city represented before tho Hoard of Assessors and the Hoard of Rovlow, and through efforts of tho staff attached to tho city law department dug up millions of back taxes which had been surreptitiously withheld by wealthy tax dodgers.
