RESIGNATION OF A REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE IN
lLLINoIs.-An examination of the constitution
OF the State of Illinois brings to light provis
ion in that instrument that no one who is not at
least Mitty.fre years Of age, and has not Leen a
citizen of the United States fourteen years, and IA
resident of the State for ten years, can hold the
office of Lieutenant Governor, for which Mr..
Huffman, the Republican candidate far Lieuten-
ant Governor. has been named. Mr. Hoffman
came to Illinois in 1877. was naturalized ia 1876
and is now but thirty four years old; consequent
~ his ineligibiIity ceases to be matter of dis
pute, and he has followed the course which hon,
or and prudence dictated by rcsigning.
