f ' ATTfiXDAKCB AT THE FAIR.
From October 24 there are exactly S3 days in
hich to see the St Louis Exposition. Up q Hfc
Ttlate the total attendance was 15,183,027. In the
remaining weeks the attendance will have to go
;r.!IgiitJy beyond 4,800,000 in order to bring the grand
.Jotal, for the whole period, up to 20,000,000. But
:as 'October will 'close with, the patronage about 10,
tOOO.000, it is quite likely that local pride, combined
vn-itB outside Interest will easily bring 4.000,000 visl-
ftors In the grounds during the 2C days of Novem-
&?- . . .
," The people of St Louis and of the adjacent ter
ritory shonld take sufficient personal Interest in the
1 enterprise to assure a grand total attendance of
TJO.OOO.OOO. Jhoueh the natronace In the remaining
;3 days should be only normal with the recent week-
vjiy-average, the grand total would 6urely reach 19,-

'rlnarilo that unpclnl rfforts should be made as a

guarantee against disappointment
-Jr" Now that the excellence and largeness of "the
I VKxposltlon are generally-known, and the patronage
Kesceeds 3,000,000 In every monthly period of 2G days,
jUiere seems to be no demand for exploitation, nor
Hanjr reason to fear but that the grand total Will be
linear to" the high mark mentioned. But it would ap-
Jpcar preposterous it the whole attendance at an in-
'tieniatioaat exposition costing $50,000,000 and having
' "Jprlceles displays, should stay below the estimate.
iL 'However? it cannot be said that an attendance
Jnt aboui 16,000,000 up to October 3J. Is not satls-
jfactory. Although the Exposition deserved a rcc-
ort-breaklng attendance for the -whole period, the
I'afaitisUcs are creditable when considered with Im-
B.nedlments and with conditions of population. IlaU

THE REPUBLICAN RECORD IN ILLINOIS.
That conniption has prevailed at Springlield to
the extent to which it is piovcn to luxe evicted in
Jefferson Cily Ls an assertion which will not lie 1011
rrudlcted by nujone vvho has Mtudletl legislative
sessions at both State capitals. If an issue of boo
dliug can be made Iti Missouri and, of course. It
has been made the same should be made In Illi
nois, and the votets of Illinois should cast their bal
lots on the right side of it.
The fact of corruption at-Sptlugtleld has been as
serted of,ten enough iu The Republic, In the press
of Chicago and In the Independent country press to
be familiar to the people nf Southern Illinois. Rut
In this connection an at tide by Iloyt King, the
joung secretary of the Legislative Voters' League
0 Chicago, becomes interesting. Jlr. King has on
trlhuted effective service to a woik that, mote than
any other one ageiu.v, has done most in behalf of
clean politics in his State.
lie sny.s in a small Chicago magazine, 'The
Voter," that, while the r-esiou of 1!0." was not -o
notorious as previous Legislatures, the members
who submitted to the organization which iau that
law-making body ".soon found that the reins of gov
ernment had been delivered by their votes to a
gang of blackmailers who openly and uotoilottsly
conducted their nefarious business In committees
under their absolute control, appointed by the
speaker whom the voles of well-meaning members
had nominated." He asserts that by devices famil
iar to the student of politics minority rule prevailed
in both Senate and House; a combination of forty
eight Republicans ran the House and one of eighteen
"members ran the Senate. The fo'rty-eight elected
the Speaker, holding the other thlity-nine Republic
ans in huo by the party whip that binds all party
members to caucus action. The eighteen passed a
rule requiring a two-thircs vote to bring a bill from
committee, a scheme w.'deh gave the combination
absolute power to nail up In committee "any bills it
desired to kill. Conspiracy -Is plain.
Holding these facts In mind, consider what Mr.
King says: "After weeks and weeks of fighting
with an unfriendly aud arbitrary speaker, bad com
mittees and bad floor leaders, the honest majority
was stung to action. Almost as one niun its mem
bers moved on the speaker, drove him and his lit
tle band of lawbreakers, from the House and re
organised it and at once "proceeded" to und"? all that
tlie.organization liad done, arid undo It inan order
ly and "parliamentary way." In-other words, condi
tions were so bad that an houest majority composed
of Democrats and Repnblicans'charged the Speaker,
'caused him to take Jo flight in terror, procipllated n
riot and then organized a "rump" House. The acts
of the "rump" House did not stand, though the in
cident broke up the gang.
Now the only point is: now ate the voters of
Illinois to express their condemnation of the guilty
legislators? Here one other fact must be stated:
Governor Yates was in that combination. Its lead-
'ers were his representatives. Then, the answer in
Elect the Democratic Stale ticket. This, because
that same gang ran the Republican State Conven
tion aud nominated Denccn after tying him down
by agreements as to patronage and as to his course
when Governor. To vote against the gang vote
against Deneen because Deneen openly allied him
self with the gang and has not denied the alliance
to date. '
The voters of ' every constituency in Illinois
should elect their legislators with n-vlew to what
they know as to their integrity. If they"- have rea
son to think that any Democrat whose name la on
the ticket would enter into such a combination they
should vote against him. But on the vote for Gov
ernor the duty of the free voter Is clear.

McKINLEr'S LNCOXSISTENCl. -
State Senator John C. McKlnley of Uniquville,
Republican nominee for Lieutenant Gorernor, has
been very active during the prist eight months try
ing to bulfd up a political following of one sort and
another. There are few fuuctis in which be has
not spoken, usually to seihII audiences, but lack of
numbers has not interfered with the uniform quality
of Ills speeches.
Practically without xcepticn he has takes oc
casion to attack Clmiit Ariotnoy Folk and to talk
about "the iniquitous Neoit laws mw governing
St Louis." Harping on these to snbjccts, Senator
McJCinley has been busy, ver; busy, during his cam
paign for- the gubernatorial nomination and during
his present campaign for Lieutenant Governor.
For a man with the record of nonaction which
McKlnley bears hi3 talk Is little less than presump
tion. During thp last and his first session of the
General Assembly Senator McKlnley did not figure
as much of a reformer. Judging by. his speeches, he
Idid not even take the trouble to learn that the so
called Ncsbit-Iaw was repealed and another enacted
in'its stead.
Only one Republican in the present Senate de
serves commendation for his activity In passing the
new election law and it Is noticeabio that he is not
going about the Slate harping on the qualities of
the old election law. That Senator is Hugh 51c
Imloe of Joplfn, who worked with the Democrats
to pass the present law.
If Senator McKlnley had not been so saving of
his energies at that time, when his efforts would
have counted for something, he would not now be
'making the foolish campaign on a repealed election
law that he is making. Like some other members
of the General Assembly, it is not too mnch to say
of him that he sacrificed consistency in an imagi
nary necessity to secure an appropriation of a local
eleemosynary Institution an appropriation which
would have been secured without the sacrifice.
If Senator McKlnley had been observant of capi
tal doing while Je was In Jefferson -City, he would
.have known that Circuit Attorney Folk had seven
convictions Xor"electJon frauds in the Supreme Court,
taken there by defendants who had been sentenced
to the JPenltentlary. fp.othertCIrcuit Attorney had
ever secured so many, convictions for election of
fenses. '
While Senator McKlnley was attending the Gen-
eral Assembly the Supreme Court reversed the first
of these seven convictions, on the giound that the
penalty clauses In the so-called Nesblt law were In
operative?, asithey did not apply to the whole State,
but only to the city of St. Louis That fact wus not
the fault or Circuit Attorney Folk, but of the law.
Democrats Immediately beg.jfi work on the pres
ent election law to cover these deficiencies. Shortly
after the decision had been handed down the bill
w as Introduced in the House and Senate. It passed
the Senate unanimously, as the records will show.
There have been no regular elections in St. Louis
since the new law went Into effect. Charges of
fraud in the present registration have brought in
dictments from the Grand Jury under the direction
of the Clictiit Attorney's office.
Is it possible that Senator McKlnley deliberately
closes his e.vib to these facts when he makes his
hai.ingui's out in the Stnto? Just give the facts and
be honest with the people. Then, when the next
session of the (Senei.il Assembly Is held, perhaps
Senator McKlnley will lie enabled to get his appro
pi i.itloii for local iiistttuliou without lobbying
with other institution Setiatots.

Once upon a tlmo the lato Quy Wetmore Caryl sold

The publisher In Question owns a'numbcr of grocery

opportunity for obtaining the revejigo that he felt was
due lay right at his hand. Buying a large can of toma
toes, he removed part of the contents, sealed the can up
again, and mailed it to the offending publisher, with this
note: i
"Doar Sir: The Inclosed can of tomatoes was pur
chased by me from one of your stores. Although the
purchase was made In good-faith, I find that a. chance
of policy compels me to return tlio goods to you" and ask
you to dispose of them elsewhere, remitting- to me the

fact that I am returning this can does not necessarily

While traveling across the continent recently I was

I refer to the sufferer from tuberculosis, -who Is In
variably a passenger on every overland train, sometimes
seyeral being in the same car.
These poor people, often in the last stages of the disease-starting
too late In quest, of health, which they
hope to find in Colorado, Arizona or California, lie in
their berths for das, sometimes seven or eight In case
of. delay, during that time a constant menace to the
other travelers, and afterwards exposing those who In
nocently occupy the same berth on the return trip.
There should be some provision on the overland trains
for such cases, n separate compartment or car, where
the invalids could receive, attention and the other pas
