An election for Governor of Illinois takes place the
first Monday in August and thsrs IL very little doubt but
that Political revolution win sweep through that State
Not that there viii be change In party les the s>as 10
strongly democrac) but the reform branch Of the
party will probably como into power The abuses prao
uced under the present government In the management
Of the finances Of the State, particularly in relation ts
canal department, have been numerous and great
that complete change in the State government loud
ly called for. The delay exravagance and iansnags
ment, In the progress Of the canal since the loan
secured have been papabs that the bondholdsrs
getting alarmed, and fear complete failure Of the
new arrangement made for Its completion. There n
great danger Of the amount Of the loan being used b
fore the canal completion and the whole object
aimed at In negotiating loan lost There y q
very great responsibility attached to the executive
and government Of the State In relation to this matter
and some account should b rendered to those Int
rested The parties who otated the loan and who
became personally pledged to completion Of the canal
in about two years from the time Of the Arst advance
have been compelled to stand by and SEQ the whole con-
grossly mismansged without the power to move In
the matter and without the slightest hope Of seeing their
promises carried out We have letters from the
bond-holders, in which the greatest anxiety was mani
tested for information In relation to the present position
of the work. and in which the grsstes solciuds was
expressed for the Of tho enterprise only On
account Of the amount at issue. but Of he
principle involved II with the greatest dnoulty.
and only with the most determined perseverance, tae
the loan raised to carry this canal completion, and
certainly very greet thing to Greats con6dsncs
enough in the minds Of those already holding bonds Il
delinquent States to large amount to obtain sddt
tonal loan for large sum- The conditions upon which
the new loan was raised and the circumstances under
which negotiated such that particular care
should have been taken 70 carry the object h view.
and proper officers should havs been appointed to super
intend the expenditure of the lean negotiated ThAAa
precautions not taken; the parties have been a
pointed manage the who involved the State In
the financial dculues she y s suffering from, and we
have every to expect results now similar TO those
experienced years ago. There appears to have been teo
much political vorsm in the appointment Of persons to
superntsnd the progress Of this work. and this abuse has
been carried into every department connected with the
concsrn. So glazing have been the abuses that strong
party has been organized throughout the Stas for the
purpose Of putting into ONCE from the Governor
down, pledged to thorough overhauling Of this depart
ment and in favor Of speedy and economical compile
ton of the canal The gubernatoria candidate Of the
democratic party 10 opposed to the present supsrnsen
dent of the canal and his election complsts
change in the government Of that important work. 30
far are able Judge from the facts IN posses
sion we can assure the bendhodsrs that ct prsssa the
defeat Of those holding the rsns of power In that
State amounts to nearly certainty. This h The only
favorable account give Of the position Of aAirs
in Illinois Every thing depends upon chsngs b the
management Of the canal.
