The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1875-06-19

Hon. ). ). MARSHALL OF Illinois, was re.
Gently in st. Louis, and was interviewed by a
reporter of the Times, with the following
general result:
He expresses the opinion that there will be
very little objection to the national conven-
ton of the party meeting next July in the
city of st. Louis. He thinks from iRdica,
tons that Illinois will present the name of
Judge David Days, of the Supreme Court,
for the presidency, and says that Davis has a
following in the South, and thathe will prob.
ably show very considerable strength IN the
convention. Judge Marshall thinks the drift
of things is favorable to Davis, and that he
has wonderful power in judging character
better than any public man of the period
ana would select capable officers Generally
speaking, Mr.. Marshall thinks that Tilden
has the preference of the masses for"presi,
dent. Judge Trumbull of Chicago, will act
with the Democratic party hereafter.
John Logan appears to have the whip hand
of things in Illinois, and his right bower is
Cullom, of Springfield. Oglesby does not
like Logan, but is more moderate and retir.
ing. Beveridge, the governor, does not drill
with Logan as much as he did, but is setting
up for himself Logan is figuring after the
presidency.
Mr.. Marshall thinks Blame has more
friends than any republican, but also bitter
enemies, amongst them, Conklng and Lo-
gan. If Hamilton Fish is nominated by the
Republicans it will be a more decent selec.
ton from them than he expected.
We have considerable doubt as to the accu.
racy of Judge Marshall impression that the
democracy of Illinois will present Judge
Davis nc thair condi Iotn for rho proe;lono,,
The Greedy fiasco naturally leads them to
distrust the tactics of going 20 the opposite
party for presidential candidate, Judge
Davis being, SO far as we are advised as
Iilden is more probable choice of Illinois
than Judge Davis, though there are western
men, sucn as Hendricks, Judge Breese, Thur
man, &c, who would probably be preferred
to either.
We are decidedly of the opinion that, with
the great mass Of the people of Illinois
there would be a tremendous demonstration
of applause should friend Oberly, of the CaiIC
Bulletin, make the following utterance, which
we find IN his paper, before grand forty
| thousand democratic mass meeting
The use of salt and soft soap with anti
! Republicans will not avail us much any
Longer. 1t will be of no use longer to take
1 Liberals by the lapel Of coat and say
l"Vote this ticket. 1t amt Democratic 1t is
an Opposition ticket. We don't want you
! Liberals 10 come over to US Democrats. We
are going over to you. All we ask is that
you will vote Tor us, or if elected by US, you
I will do as we want you 10. This Is not a
1 Democratic ticket It's yours We have
4 come over To you, and are anxious TO have
you vote your own ticket" The political
wayiarcr, though tool, would understand
this to be bosh, and lie would say: 1t won
do. Ii is a Democratic ticket, and you are
asking me to 90 into the Democratic party
So, therefore, 1t Is best to let the salt and soaT
business go by, and say distinctly: Let il
be organized. Throw out the true colors and
rally once again"
