The New Constitution.
IL lie Lteil I;ttrs ~ Cnok Coan,y:
Next Saturday. Jult 2, the new constitution
will lie submitted to the legal voters Of Illinois
for adoption or rejection The polls will be |
opened 1t o'clock r. m, and close at sunset |
OF said dag. At the same time there are to be
elected four new Judges Of the supreme
Court, and tll.re Circuit Judges for tho County
OF Cook. In regard to the latter, the new con-
stitution provides that each voter shall he
limited to voting for two candidates, in order
that all the Judges may not belong to ono
party. The Seventh Supreme Judicial Dis
tfict i. composed of ths ,Coun.iea of Cook.
Lake, VIII, and Kankakee, and the Republican
nominee Of said district is Hon. Charles Hitch i
cock. the able and accomplished President Of l
the constitutional Convention. For Circuit
Judges, the Republican nominees are Wu. W. 4
Fxrwell and Henry Booth, Esqs-, both gentle
men Of large legal attainments, pure charao-
ter. and unswerving integrity. Your commit
tee trust that every Republican ,who goes to
the polls viii support these three judicial
candidates. They are worthy, and well

posing candidates are superior to them in any
respect, and their Democratic friends only
prefer them on political grounds q.

cellent nominees ct their own party, as it is
btt71 to conreya nf tr,v rsrsA .rr m nj "a That

any Of them. What re wish to impress upon
catizens ia the absolute and imperative neces-
ssts that exists for the adoption OF the new
constitution
1he present Constitution Of Illinois is uoto-
Houai1 the worst md poorest organic Law IN
is now administered It may have answered in
the people uere poor, and their St4te Govern
meut bankrupt; when dollar WIS harder to
procure than five dollars now; when there
were neither cities, railroads, corporations,
manufactures, banks, capitalists, nexsp.pers.
Or pnblc improvements, and only a scattered
handful Of impecunious ag1icultural pioneera
Almost any kind Of constitution would do In
these dass-syen one framed on generous con-
haenoe principles, leaving everything to tho
discretion of the LeSislatura But those pio-
neer days have passed nlinois is now tho
third State in the Union In population and
wealth, md the first IN railroads and progress,
ind Chicago ia looming up TO the very front
rank OF great cities IN cnmmeEce, enterprise,
sad inhabitants. The old cquat;tut;on Ia
