Coon News FROM ILLINOIS. A let
ter from Illinois gives the following
cheering signs and tidings:
The campaign has opened here with
a will on our side. Seymour will carry
more votes than any other man who
could have been nominated Pendleton
not excepted. He was the man the
staunch Democrats wanted but it was
generally conceded that he would not
accept the nomination. When Lhe
news came that he was nominated and
would accept, the people were almost
liantic. You can sec by the Republi-
can journals how coldly the nominations
were received in the West but tins is
simply political talk. The Radicals are
not making any effort at all. There arc
no public meetings and no public meRf to
address them. I believe they intend to
come with rush just prior to the Octo-
Der election and endeavor to make q
short sharp and decisive campaign;
hut l believe we will have enough am.
mnnition for them, if Pennsylvania and
New York do as well as they did one
year ago.

"No, sir, ! did not.' -.
Now, sir, [ put it. to you OF you%
