Stephen A. Douglas, Jr.

Stephen A. Douglas Jr., the son of Stephen A. Douglas, the presidential candidate, who delivered the oration in Bellevue last 4th of July, has again achieved newspaper notoriety. He was announced to lecture in Music Hall, Chicago, one evening last week, but just before the lecture began, the receipts for admission were attached at the box office for a $150 board bill due since a year ago. Stephen A. Douglas, Jr., appears to be something of a humbug, if nothing worse.
