CAMPAIGN NEGOTIATIONS.

"A correspondent OF the Chicago Times,
writing from Springfield, INDUCES in
some speculations concerning State poll
tics and next falls campaign. 1t is al
ready settled that there will be three
tickets III the field: the Republican,
Democratic and Independent. The prom.
inent candidates for the governorship of
the Republican. party are Bcvcrdgc,
Shelby NJ. Cullom. of Sangamon county.
and Mcdill OF the Chicago Tib-
we. Mcdill's name is 10 be the Sec
ond on the ticket with Congressman
Fort or Hon. Milton Hay to head it. In
case OF success, the head OF the ticket
will be made United States senator and
Medill will succeed as governor. Me-
ans desire to be governor, says this re.
doubtable correspondent, explains the an
linus Of the attack made in the Tribune on
various administration acts OF Beveridge
Cullum be charges with being inter.
ested in the Pekin whisky ring,
which if proved, will materially in.
jure his eligibility as a candidate.
For Lieutenant governor, Sanford of
Knox county; Sheldon Of Champaign,
Ridgewav of Gallatin, Terrell OF Hardin,
Jones Of 10 Daviess, and Shuman of the
Chicago Evening Journal, are probable
candidates. For secretary of State, the
present incumbent, Harlow, and Scroggs
editor, Of Champaign, are talked OF
with the chances In favor of the
former. State Auditor Lippincott will
be weakly opposed by Gardner of Cham
paign and Needles of Washington. III,
two Republican candidates for stat,
treasurer are Ruiz and Hamburger
Garfield of Kane, Callahan of Vermillior
and Steele OF Coles, would each like Il
step into Attorney General Edsall',
place, who will retain it 1t he can.
The candidates of tho Democracy fo
governor are soon counted by the Time

The Argus-JoUnoi says that "the man
behind Davis cndcavors to amusc the
people with the idea that the {. and 81.
l.. railroad company cannot get right OF
way inside the new levec, but will have
to build levcc of their own outside"
The AZ. then proceeds to say that If the
Narrow Gauge Is pushed aside and has
the means to build levec outside, 1t will
be suited. OF course II has the means to
build such a levee, since the friends OF
Mr.. Canda and Searls are proposing that
the road managed SO miscrably by those
gentlemen shall pay the cost of the city

United 10 run on top Of it. Since. then,
the 49, and its friends assert thai the
little road has enough money TO
build levce outside the city lcvee, and
that they wish the road to build such q
levee, what Is all the fuss about? We
want the railroad between the new levec
and the river, and so say we all of us.
But, says the AL, the road will Get

tempting to compel the Trustee 10 sell 1t
the right Of way by condemnation pro.
ceedings which he is resisting. And now
the A.-J. says the Trustee is anxious to
do what the company Is anxious to COM
pei him to do, and which he Is stub.
bornly refusing TO do. This Is peculiar
logic.
Why is the Trustee refusing to permit
the company to have the right of way
through his lands inside the leyee. Be-
cause he Is anxious to have the road run
outside. This is evident from the fact
that his lawyers proposed in open court
to withdraw all proceedings and give the
company all its old rights unquestioned

had been assured that the city council OF
Cairo did not want the road to fight
the river, but would take that contract
upon its own shoulders. The I,-J.
knows this, and knows that by permit
ting the railroad company to get upon
the new levee, the city will, by that per-
relieve the road from all obliga
tons to resist the assaults of the river
upon the levec, and will take upon itself
that duty.

The clerks OF the Lindell Hotel have
been subpGned as witnesses in the Bah
cock case to testify to the receipt ana de-
livery of certain kilograms received by
Colonel Luckcy during the Avery trial
last fall. 1t is alleged that regular tele-
graphic correspondence was kept up dur
ing that trial between Babcock In Wash
ington and Luckey in st. Louis that
Colonel Luckcy was sent here To keep
General Babcock posted. These tcle-
grams are all in the hands OF the prose-

difficulty has been obyiated, however, by
Colonel Dyer's having subpnned a wit
