Medill is a man of honor whose highest ambition is to see his name connected with the reconstruction of Chicago, and just as he in good faith proposed the name of the German Henry Greenebaum, so Greenebaum and all good Germans will stand by him faithfully.

For the office of police commissioner, Jacob Rehm has been nominated in place of Fr. Gund. Not because any member of the committee doubted the honesty and the good will of Gund, but because Rehm's executive ability, practical experience, and knowledge of men seemed greater than Gund's. Everyone of those who voted against Mr. Gund is in sympathy with him and expects that he, who 2has lost so much in the fire, will find a proper position in the city administration. The same is true of Fritz Metzke who had to be passed by, in spite of the zealous boosting by his German friends, for Rumsey who happens to be better known in American circles.
