in the field without convention. There

A number of democratic papers in central
and southern Illinois have mentioned Hon.
X. Z. Goodell, Of Springfield, as their con-
gressman-at-large on the democratic ticket.
his PERSONAL POPULARITY"
From the 81. Louis Republican,
We observe from our exchange, 10 Him
ois that a large numter of the papers Of
that state are urging the claims Of Hon.
r. Il. Goodell Of Springfield, as candi.
date for congress from the state at large, TO
6ll the vacancy occasioned BY the resguation
Of the Hon. John A. Logan. We are sat-
isfled from what we know Of Mr.. Goodsll,
that no more worthy or popular standard
bearer could be selected by the gallant de.
mocracy Of Illinois. He Is thorough DEM
ocrat, an active and energetic gentlemen,
and we have no dout from his long resi-
dence in the state and his very popular
manners, coupled with the fact that he has
never been political aspirant, would make
him one ofthe strongest candidates before
the people that could be found in the state.
His personal popularity would no doubt
enable him to draw largely from the radi-
cal party, which at this time is very i'm.
portant.
. From the Jone.ber 70 Gazette .
There is no man in the st ate whom we
would more cheerfully or heartily support
for this position than Mr.. Goodell should
he accept the nomination. The press OF
the state are under many Obligations to
him for favo1s he has always proven to
be be friend indeed to the corps edi-
toria,, and they would be glad of an OPP
portunity to reciprocate. Egypt had the
| nominee for this Office at the last election
the gallant'and eloquent Gen. Anderson
and she will go into the canvass with a
will for Mr.. Goodell, or any other ''live'
democrat which the convention may pre-
sent for their support.
"a CHEERFUL AND LIVELY CORPSE"
From the Decatur epublcsn-Radicsi.l
bet Goodel be the candidate by all
means he will prove TO be the most cheer.
full and lively corpse that could be foun
for heading the annual democratic funeral
We are tired Of the dreary, doleful stone
which has pervaded these affairs for sew
eral years past and trust that our friend,
on the other side will take our advice and
put more iovisl fellow in the hearse.
Goodell is the chap.

the resignation of Gen. Logan. The Reg

From the Joliet Signal
Governor Oglesby Will probably be tn
nominee of the radical convention, 70
ongressman-at-large, and we believe,
the Democracy will select the proper man
and place him upon a platform that I
