| successful at the coming election.
A committee of one from each Congress
sional district was appointed to select and
report names of electors from the several
districts and from the State at large.
The motion was opposed by several dele
1 gates on the ground that this matter would
be disposed of by the Conference Commit
tee of the two Conventions, and the motion
was finally temporarily laid on the table.
The committee appointed to report the
names of delegates from the State at large,
and from the different Congress sional dis
| tricts to the National Convention at Balti-
more, reported the following list: State at
large, W. F. Coolbaugh of Cook, j. j..
Phillips of Montgomery, Aaron K. Shaw of
Richland, and A. M. Craig of Knox.
A delegate from Cook rose and prOteste d
against the selection of w. F. COolbaugh as
a delegate, declaring that the wish of the
Cook county delegation was that G. H. Nc
COrmick should represent that district upon
the delegation at large, and moved that the
report of the committee be rGcommitted,
with instructions to strike out tie name Of
Coolbaugh and substitute the name of Nc
Cormick.
After considerable confusion and rather
an excited debate the motion to commit was
tabled.
A delegate moved that the Committee
on Resolutions be instructed to report res
olutiOns instructing delegates to Baltimore
to cast their votes for Greeley 40 Brown.
Adopted by an almost unanimous vote.
Only few dissenting voices were heard.
Three cheers for Greeley and Brown
were called, and given with a will.

asserted that if it was nominated at B<i-
more D. w. voorhees, would support it.
The Committee on Resolution then sub
mitted the following
platforms: ...
Resolved, by the Democrats of Illinois
in convention assembled, That the platform
of principles adopted by the Gin innati Con-
ventiOn, together with the clear interpreta-
ton of the same enumerated in the letter of
Horace Greeley accepting the nomination
of that convention for the Office Of Presi-
dent of the United States, affords common
ground upon which liberal men of all polit
zeal parties can consistently unite in OppO-
sitiOn to personal government and its at
tendant official corruption.
Resolved, that our delegates this day
chosen to represent us in the Democratic
Convention to assemble at Baltimore, be
instructed to act and vote for us as unit
in the spirit of the foregoing resolution.
