Show OUR CHICAGO ETTER nar orison rixon and rd Frate ratzing polities politics makes strange bedfellow tile the in Alt DIVe ferent rout at wad and merphy A NOW way of 0 Alaf mahlab ting a nowel special correspondence CHICAGO april ath 1887 about one month ago the anniversary of Chi cagos demir semir centennial year as aa an incorporated city was celebrated in a rattier rather heroic and classic manner models lor for bravery were presented to members of the tire fire and police departments Theor the orators on the occasion were ere carter 11 harrlson harrison present M mayor abor of chicago and in common parlance L denominated the best and 30 joseph seph medill ex mayor denominated the worst both stood on th the ame platform on an that cold march day I 1 and ad both held forth in a common cause it was a novel sight for chicago and one alone deemed worthy to commemorate any event because it was supposed these two men were the bitterest and most MORTAL OF OB ENEMIES novel as that bravery celebration was it is entirely i eclipsed by the present municipal election the contest conte att for mayor has at last assumed regular party lines and labor and capital will tomorrow fight a pitched battle the tickets are nominally republican and united labor but really latar and capital what used to t be called the democratic party is entirely wiped out not a shred of existence or organ ot it remains federal officials are reporting themselves as determined to vote for or the be re candidate for mayor what used to be the republican party has so reconstructed itself as to be unrecognizable by its former adherents it has in its ranks today to day ALL THE SALOONS rambling gambling houses bosses lawyers politicians and an professional pro ess ional irishmen in chicago chica every member of the fire and polac police oi de department rement Is i an open and earnest canvasser for this chis party the principal capitalists and merchants are also loud in its favor in fact the unanimity with which all classes meet to gether reminds one of an anti mor mon ison rally here the gambler gain bier and preacher the blackleg and merchant the whisky vender ano and milk peddler all come together even the tae different u b secret societies of the old regime ar ari called into action free mason foresters are coming to 1 aether to antagonize that monster secret society Ili knights of labor should this great combination be defeated feared tomorrow to morrow it would certainly be an event capable of commemorating Chi cagos semi centennial year the UNITED LABOR PARTY is 8 composed mainly of knights of labor or but will draw to it a large following ng from the ranks of unorganized labor abor it is a secret society and cardinal gibbons countenances it on OB the ground that this is file fhe only way to offset other secret societies that is meeting fire with fire it excludes from its ranks absolutely saloon keepers lawyers and politicians the head of the ticket has put pat himself on record it if elected to close all gambling hells bells prostitution dives and places of resort bior or immoral characters by a proclamation of this kind on the eve of the election he has antagonized a very formidable political element in chicago and avd yet etnere are people who say we will have a clos close e election tomorrow to morrow why it used faed to be said that saloons and gambling bobies could elect a mayor in ia chicago by themselves the labor party is called the socialistic and anarchistic party by the newspapers it is an tact fact that many it if not all the SOCIALIST AGITATORS are working for the labor party to the party th ismay prove an element of weakness weak Bess yet in the end it aul wul ill be productive va du etive ei 01 good to the con country none ot of these recognized socialists is a candidate lor for office they have about the same relation to the party that bob ingersoll Int ersoll does to republicanism and if aney tn areto ar a t 0 remain in the party they must mwry in their theories and seek their do ded reforms by the ballot by argame d by reasoning these are erf y legitimate means and en tiresy y within the constitution the labor party comes before the people with well weh defined issues it panders to no race tono to no class it simply aims to exalt industry indus and to brand with infamy drunkards extortionists and T queers its agency is the ballot ballo fit it is for the the independent citizen to JUDGE FOR HIMSELF it is very easy to raise this cry lof socialism anarchy dynamite and aed murder but it would be welt well lor for persons who are outside of professional politicians ti tic ians clans and who are independent of race or religious prejudices or predilections lec tiona to examine these matters carefully the people of utah above all should look at matters from the purely philosophical hilo standpoint they should F in no sense become a party part Y to any side of the present struggle in I 1 n the east things are outa become with us from bad to worse and are fist approaching to the worst that is why utah should dissect this question as the an atomist would a corpse for the benefit of ef science the socialists at present in chicago are in bad odor probably a few of of them nw be haagen yet though the chances aff arc slim indeed in 1976 it will be remembered that twenty one irishmen were hung in pennsylvania in connection with 1 LABOR TROUBLES the e cry athen then went up that the irish would won 1 be e forced to the wall and syndicates were formed to bring laborers here from germany bohemia and poland alibis Athi time ireland and romanism were at a fearful discount there was no talk then of starting a great catholic of creating halt hall a dozen cardinals on april ath 18 1876 an advertisement appeared in the the chicago tribune for a female domestic it stated no irish need apply and to call at 67 07 monroe sur such ph an advertisement in the tribune today to day would cause a riot of no mean proportions under that same date of april 6 1847 ih ib an editorial on brigham young galling calling alm him ilm a rebel a traitor and a conspirator that he was as then in league for the admission of new mexico as a state in or order der to establish polygamy on the IRISH isibue ISSUE the tribune has changed its course entirely while op the mormon question it alberes to the unities would it not be well to ask why opinion changes so why irishmen Irm limen who were denounced as ai murderers murderer sa and nd rebels in 1876 are presented with medals for bravery and and are held up as the bulwarks bulwa of american liberty in am 1886 in 1876 when newspapers detec tives and preachers calse a cry against irishmen the roman church charch kept very quiet and in fact rather joined in in the gene general at condemnation in 1866 when a do dozen ren irish policemen emeli were killed in this city in defense of law aud and order the roman church immediately claimed them as its children while the newspapers the detectives and preachers were praising irishmen the ROMAN CHURCH authorities put themselves forward in one night they raised for the construction ot of on an orphanage not a sunday since the haymarket affair but has witnessed the dedication of come new structured structure to romanism since that time have been crea created teil cardinals archbishops arch bishops and bishops innumerable Is not this an instructive study for the sociologists what I 1 have said to is not with a view of establishing the orthodoxy of any system or party among us it is rather with the view that the people of utah should hould profit by the lessons now being augh there they can see the folly and ana a even criminality of secret societies a and ought to resolutely resolve to for swear forever the toleration of such EVIL AGENCIES I 1 they ca see flee what chaos chaos what anarchy can be brought about by the capital and libor labor theet can see how a little misunderstanding between employer and employed can be ing magnified unified and developed into something thing gigantic they can an see how a trivial affair can be settled if handled in time and the aid of ef a few honest disinterested neighbors called in instead of the complicated machinery of lawsuits law suits injunctions organizations mass meetings ete etc what I 1 have bave sald said is only a plain statement from one who is among the crowd but not of it one who is present but not a participator Is ia the proceedings one who is entirely untrammeled by sectarian ethnological and political influences if socialism and confiscation are the alms aims of the uneducated mass can we blame the people for this if tucker of virginia trampled qu on thomai jefferson can we blame blaine dynamite Flu fenerty Fl nerty erty of chicago for DOING THE SAME SAMA it I 1 edmunde of vermont Vermo Bt and ingalls Ingal lB of kansas make confiscation a legal enactment can we blame botner parsons and august spies for doing the hume bume this forenoon I 1 dropped into farwell hall to see how mormon stock was quoted it is certainly dull at present I 1 danced over a file of the interior the presbyterian organ here h ere t and it really does not take the cognizance of 11 mormonism or monism whick which the question deserves I 1 noticed a little item from mt pleasant utah stating slating that two preachers the rev argil lespie lespi and the rev mr wishard eon averted tareo mormons cormons Mor mons and that bibles were badly wanted out there there is no appeal tor for money unless tb that at for bibles can be construed as such in prohibition towns cider means whisky and perhaps among christians BIBLE MEANS BOODLE there is ia a long article on jose joseph ph smith partly artly biographical and partly critical critie al ft it is a rehash of what has been written a thousand times with the exception that the solomon spaulding theory as to the or origin in of the boot book of mormon is e entirely g ti rely repudiated the writer of this article states that the book originated with the smith family I 1 attended the noonday meeting at the hall it was a big day agy moody conducted the Bervi services ees and francis murphy aRs assisted isted on the platform were a num number her of local prea preachers chera there was quite a respectable attendance considering si the time of day dinner hour moody and murphy are men af national reputation afta it is a sad commentary on our colleges universities and churches that these two common men can draw audiences and make themselves felt and lard 1 while doctors professors and rew rends can only oo 00 tain taia a hearing by masticating masti cating a mormon or ruminating polygamy MOODY is a stout stumpy person with lib liberal development of abdomen he might be mistaken for a retired sailor in ia the saloon tu business siness ile he has a coarse rough brough voice at first it is difficult to see in him what gives him his popularity but as he enters on his bis work one soon finds out in religion he is a hustler or as some same have it a rustler he reminds one of a railroad section boss boas at a washout he points here there re and everywhere he calls to this man laan and to that man and aad endeavors in every possible way to get a up p an enthusiasm in his audience franell murphy seems a very quiet quie person and in appearance re reminds one of an bullish english serving man after a few years in ia udia india or china aba ata distance his bis eyes seem cavernous pockets in fact they look like the mouth month of f clara morris when it is distended to its full extent and that looks like a black hole bole at first one is apt to regard murphy ds overdoing things and likely to put him down as A HYPOCRITE he indulges so much in lame amens ra 11 thank the lords and bless the lord and such ejaculatory phrases that it looks as if he were burlesquing religion though when you come to extend your observations you will find others just as demonstrative in this respect as mr murphy but somehow howee age have come into the habit ol of an irishman if he ap appears ears on any platform outside of a ca catholic one that perhaps this is avy mr air ae murphy u rp hv h v at first strikes one ond as not genuine ile he has a soft musical brogue and when warmed up to the pati pathetic throws considerable feeling into his lau language guage in tact it is only in his favorite fv topic temperance that mr murphy impresses one as aa really in earnest at all events mr moody r spoke poke on OB money mr murphy took toek round the hat and a right good goad collector he makes charley horton gave 10 bless you brother charley according as the money rolls in MR MB MURPHY punctuates the operation with such phrases as the one quoted it seems to me that murphy took special pleasure bolding in before the reverends and doctors present and mood moody took special pleasure in tellin telling g the doctors doctors to show a good example examples exam i this collection business gives a religious meeting a flavor of the mercenary and yet these things cant be carried on without money yet it seems to me that a min man who can go around with a hat could never arise to any height either in religion or morality mo ralty if one of the ol ordinary preachers could be trusted to take around the hat bat it would b be ee better and more dignified lor for the central figure to in his bis remigious reft ious flights while the money is being collected but of course mr moody knows his 0 own w n business best and he knows the preachers ebers too and perhaps he wants to reap the fruits of own labor A sum of was collected THE discourses of these men are entirely made up of little anecdotes and experiences moody gives his hia a matter of fact common sense tone which render them pleasing murphy is alternately on the witty or humorous story aal nl on the pathetic now he be evokes tae loudest and most uproarious mirth and again tie be moves to tears ile he Is id certainly the soul and spirit of a meeting he is more true to nature than any of his bis compeers com peers and his oratory ory is like real life a mixture of laughter and tears atil chicago ago still holds toe the palm as convention city in this line it is likely to income more fadow qan than cintra lat last week we had bad a of anti secret society people it was composed of representatives of churches and educational education il establishments all its members were doctors and Prof esbers of course they dwelt on the enormity of the SECRET SOCIETY but you might as vell ell try to christianize an at alderman erman as try TO suppress mip press the secret society with au an oration in fact a mans success in life from a worldly point of view depends an the be number of secret societies he is into in the police in business even in railroading unless you are a 3 82 32 degree degi ee mason or a HO 26 feather sachem yoa will have to remain at the bottom round of the ladder in fact you can hardly expect decent burial except you belong t toa society or er two and it you get ao inlo any litigation if you have bave not a club or society at your back yo you may as an well deliberately commit suicide if you have not a grip or password of some kand kind you are of no standing even in crime there is often i a tinge
