CoL RICHARDSON. At recent cOmpli'
mentary dinner given to military compa.
ny in Chicago, or something of that sort, it
appears that Col. Richardson was toasted
and thercupon some one arose and proposed
to amend the toast by adding, "mdy he be
the merit Gocernor Of illinois," The amend.
ment was received with applause and more
thad that. When an account of the dinner
aud the toast got into the papers, in view Of
his great personal worth and popularity
and eminent fitness for the station, nearly
every democratic paper in the state also ap-
, plauded the toast, and expressed in no
equivolant terms the pleasure it would afford
/ them to support Col X. as our next demo.
cratic candidate for Governor. Purely I'M
premed,ated and accidental as every scnsi.
bic man knows this naming of Col. r. in such
a connection was, we confess we have no
/ terms in which to express our disgust at the
leader in the Chicago Press of Saturday, in
which all this is represented as part Of a
| programme agreed upon at Washington
that it was aglorilication meeting got up by
Judge Douglas; intended as a caucus, &c
The Press need give itself no uncasiness
about the next democratic candidate for
Governor Of Illinois. 1t is an affair about
which the editorial STAFF of that concern
will not be consulted and with which it will
have nothing to do The democratic party
are abundantly able, as they always hav,
been heretofore, to manage their own affair.
without the aid or advice Of abolitonists
know nothinys, or fusonists. II Col. r. i.
deemed most worthy to be the STANDARD
bearer of the democracy in our next guber

rest assured that no less true democrat

He recommends the establishment Of a pei
organization Of the militia. From the ccH
sus returns he places before the Legislature,
the population consists Of 3, 1873 males, an

the officers succeeded in getting him to the
Court House, where he received the sen

penalty being abolished in Wisconsin. Blu.
on his way back to the prison the mob made
rush for him, and desperate struggle en-.

to preclude the possibi i,y of his entrance,
and then the fight commenced. They
fought about two minutes, aud the mob sue
ceedcd in getting rope around the prison
cr's neck, and then he was dragged through
the streets, and then taken to a tree on the
public square, where they proceeded TO
hang him. 1t said that about two minutes
