Convention elected four electors At large,
and six ps,ric, electors. This makes in

the Republicans in Illinois treated their
German friends.
They nominated 4. Rummcl from Peoria.
for Secretary Of State, elected Thsodess
Ke,er, from Bsllsvil,e, for Presidential
slector al large.
Ludwig Brentsno, for Eector for the

sional gamblers aud their friends who wisl

longer than Saturday !; for it 10 netoiiou
fact in Washington, that the Impeachment
trial has furnished more gambling stoc
than any ten horse races or pugilistic q
counters that ever occurred In the countvy

then suspend, for week or two ct least,
special legislation for the benefit Of the X

some laws Of some use 10 the country
