STATE POLITICS.

WHAT ONE OF THE CANDIDATES FOR STATE
AUDITOR SAYS.
The politicians left for their homes last night
and the lobby Of the Pacific was dull and un-
interesting in comparison with its enlivening
scenes Of the past week or more. One Of the
candidates did not get away, however, but will
leave tonight. This gentleman is one Of the
prominent candidates for State Auditor, DR..
Needles, and q TRIBUNE reporter found him
last night in the best Of "pirits, as he sat with
some friends counting up the probable result Of
first and second ballots and other mys-
terics. As to the Goye1norship,
Mr.. Needles had only one opinion. That
was thnt Mr.. Beyeridge won1d not be the neAt
Governor, but that the Hon Shelby Culiom
would receive that honor. As.to the candidates
for the office of Secretary Of State, the rnce
was close one between Harlow and scroggs,
and the Lieutenant-G G Goyernorship lay between
Jones and Shuman. In reference to
the nomination OF State Auditor, 1t
is thought that Mr.. Needles will go
into the Convention with about 80 votes, while
Lfppincott will probably not have more than
IT'S, Powell 50, Hampton Co. and scattering. in
the neigfborhood Of GO. After the first ballot
the Powell and Hampton men will, it is now
supposed go over to the Needles side, and these
votes, added to the scattering ones, which it is
expected will follow suit, will give this gentle
man clear majority in the Convention

Speed, late Attorney General of the United
States, will, think, be OF interest to the Re
puDlicans Of Illinois, who arc looking to Mr.,
Bristow to lead in the great and radical reforms
necessary to the preservation Of the Republic.
Mr.. Speed, as is we'll known in this State, was
tue lifelong and devoted friend OF Mr.. Lincoln,
and the ,Attorney-Ge during portion OF
his administration. His statements in relation
to Col. Brfstow will. command the fullest con-
tidence Of the people Of Illinois. Very respect
fully yours, ISAAC n ARNOLD.

When the Rebellion broke out he was practicing
lawfn Southern Kentucky, that part OF the State
being occupied by Southern troops lie left his
home and assisted In recruiting and organizing a
regiment, OF which he became the Lieutenant
BATTLES Of Fort Done1son, Shiloh, and shared in
other movements Of the Western army. At Shiloh
he was wounded. He remaincd with his regiment
until It was mustered out On expiration OF term
In the summer Of 1869 he WIS elected to the
Senate OF Kentucky. In that body he ever showed
earnest devotion to the Union ca1se, giving active
and able support 70 every measure adopted for the
overthrow Of the Rebellion.
lie aspoused the. cause OF Mr.. Lincoln against
Gen. Mcclellan for President, In 1851 and labored
for his election,
From 1865 until 1870 he was Districs Attorney
for tho United States in Kentucky, in which posi-
tfon By reason Of hissbllity adelity and courage,
he made great reputation, In the then condition
of the country, and particularly Of Kentucky, it
required those qualities for faithful discharge OF
the duties Of tllAt office.
He was Solicitor General OF the Treasury Depart
ment, about two years; then nominated for the
pizce Of Attorney General; then made Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Col. Bristo,g's course and conduct az Secretary
Of the Treasury is no surprise to the friends who
knew him; the high position he holds only Afford
ed him the opportunity to develop his character.
All OF his feelings symPathics and convictions
have been up and abreast with the enlightened scn-
tlmcnts Of the times. the great principles OF hu~
man freedom and equality before the law, which
were born to the eonntry In the foRr years tEaratl
OF Mr.. Lincoln's Administration, lay as close to
the heart Of Bristow ~ Of any man. aud In his
place and according to his opportunities, he did all
he could to establish and perpetuate them Most

ART NOTES.

The New Academy Gallery.
4 corps Of busy workmen, equipped With
hammers and SAWS, paint-pots and brushes, are
putting the finishing touches to the new gallery
Of the Academy Of Design, in the Pike Build
ins, ut the corner Of State and Monroe streets.
The gallery is composed Of two large salons, SO
lighted from the top as to distribute an
even light On all the pictures that may be hung
on the walls either above or below the line. The
walls are tinted with warm maroon, which will
form rich background, and thus relieve many
OF the canyaees from that appearance Of cold
ness which they might otherwise exhibit. Sur
rounding the gallery the two upper floors Of the
most Of which are already in occupancy.
Among the linners who have already colonized

and, in addition, 1t is expected that large num-
1bcr OF choice works from the studios OF New
York, Boston, md Philadelphia will be placed
on exhibition. Prof. Gookins leaves for the
East Tuesday with this object in view.
It is theintention OF the managers OF the
Academy to open an eyening-school for the ae-
commodation Of those whose arocations will
not allow them to attend during the day. For
this purpose, the school will be open the even
ings Of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Of
each week.
Several Of the artists contemplate making
their annual pilgrimage shortly after the Acad-
envy reception. Ellsins 1eaves shortly for Eu-
rope, where he proposes remaining some SIX or
eight months. Julius Goldman, one Of our best
ortrait-paintcrs, will soon sail for Germany,
where he proposes to settle permanently. He

more Of a.studio picture than finished effort,

PRESIDENTIAL AND GUBERNAToR1AL,
The Third Ward Republican Club held its
/ regular weekly meeting last evening, c. n.
Culbcrtson In the chair,
There being no special business before the
Club, the delegates present who had been
selected to represent the ward in the State
Convention we're called upon for al expression
OF their views.
Jesse spalding said he had attended the Coun-
ty Convention in the afternoon, and had found,
from talking with the delegates, that Bristow
for President, and Ctlllom and Ndgway for
Governor.
James q. Rees, another delegate, said that
Mr., Spa1ding had made his speech for him, and
left him nothing to say.
Mir. E. G. Keith, q delegate to the late Liber-
al Convention in New York, was called upon to
give the Club something Of the history and sem
timent Of that gathering. He said he had notil-
ing to add to what the papers had published.
President, and he thought Tilden was the Sec
ond choice. Individually, he WIS tn favor Of
Bristow, and believed the people Of the State
were, and hoped that the delegates to Cincln-
natl would 60 instructed for him.
Mr.. G. Greeley was In favor Of Baine. He
had the greatest respect for Bristow, but his
birth and education III Kentucky made It dam
gerous to take him up. His election
would be step toward pensioning the
rebel soldiers, etc, aud the power OF the
party to elect him was doubtful for in attempt
ing to carry him the party would have to fight
the entire whisky interest Of the country. He
closed by passing q glowing culogy upon Mr..
Blaine, calling lin The Lincoln OF to-day, and
the only representative man in the country who
had dared to stand up and put his heel upon the
rebel spirit OF the South.
PAHDoNS.
Mr.. Kirk Hawes, IN altertate delegate to
Springfield, said that one OF the objections
urged against Bcverfdgc had been his liberal cx-
ercise Of the pardoning power. He hoped the
Springfield Convention would give some ex-
preston upon this subject, aud he would have
the delegates from the ward instructed to intro
duce resolution there asking whoycr might be
the nominee for Governor to Be more careful in
pardoning than former Executives had been.
Mr.. Greeley came to the defense OF Bever-
idge, and said that he had been abused In the
pardon matter. In the same connection lie
threw out some strong hints rejecting upon the
Judiciary and the Prosecuting Attorneys, who
were to blame far more for the pardons than
the Governor was.
Mr.. Hawes replied that he had nothing to say
against Beyeridge, personally or officially, IN
this matter, aud whatever the ward might do, it
would not affect him, for there was no posi-
bflity Of his being re-clectted.
Judge Carey saw no necessity for the adop-
tion OF the resolution. So far Us Beveridgc was
concerned, the rcbuke that he would receive at
Springfield in failing to be renominated would
be sufficient.
After some further discussion the motion Of
Mr.. Haves prevailed, md the meeting adjourned
for one week.
