THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
Letter From the Secretary of the Ma

The following letter, which explains it
self, was received yesterday:
Boston, June 5.
Hon. John G. Priest, st. Louis:
My DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 18th OF
Nav. with diagram of the hall, has been
duly received, for which | am obliged.
The tickets will be furnished in day or
two. | shall bring them with me. :,
| have examined the plan OF the hall
carefully. 1t seems most convenient and
will furnish all the accommodation that
the convenience of the convention
and the public can desire. All
your arrangements are 80 complete as to
leave nothing to suggest and trust that
they will prove suspicious OF the great
political victory that is to be initiated IL
your beautiful city.
Permit me to say that the Missouri
member of tie committee, in pressing
upon the the national committee the claims
l'of St.L9uis as the place for the nomination
OF the nert president Of the United State;
did not exaggerate its hall and hotel ac
commoiations. The people in the cas-
are watching the action OF the Democra
tic party at this time with peculiar interes
and | cannot recall presidential contes
about which so much anxiety is felt by
patriotic citizens of all parties, as the com
ing one,
The country-impatient of misgovern
ernment-pants for relief. and the feeling
obtains that it is only to be found in Dem
ocratic success at the next election. w
have made so many mistakes in the past
that in my solicitude as to the future
| fear what each day may bring forth
Let us of the national committee see tina
nothing on oar part-no portion OF tn
duty imposed on us-shall lave been neg
lected
| expect to be with you about the l5t
inst. Will you please provide quarter

and best place possible at this time.

The New Illinois State Houge

The Cambridge Chronicle, whose editor
visited Springfield on the occasion of the
late Republican state convention, has
the following to say of the new capitol:
The meeting was held in the senate
chamber of the new capitol, and the 600
delegates and crowds of other attendants
filed it full The chamber is far from
finished, and the representatives hall
but little more forward The capitol
building is an immense stl ucture, and
would be, externally, imposing if its loca-
ton permitted it to be seen. But the
limited space between it and surrounding
private buildings effectually destroys its
grandeur, and makes most visitors regret
its location. Especially in view of the bad
faith of the citizens OF Springfield, who
secured the location by executing bond
to secure additional ground. which bond
is unfulflled and cannot be enforced
should every citizen of Illinois visit upon
that city his condemnation. The south
wall Of the building stands upon the line
| of street, with not an inch Of ground for
the extensive porticos and steps that must
be constructed to give access to the main
floor. The state will have to buy the val
liable property beyond, which Spring.
field solemnly pledged her faith to give.
The most of the state Offices within are
completed and occupied; they are mag
nifcent rooms. while the main corridor.
are grander than any in all the publ,
buildings of Washington.

ATTEMPT at Robbery.

Last evening, between | | and IL O. clock,
as Mr.. Doyle, who resides on Illinois street,
opposite the old @. R. /. & p. round house,
was going home, he met man staggering
along the walk, saying: I'm killed, I'm
killed" He caught hold Of him and asked
what was the matter, and the man said
he had been struck, but he did not know
what with The man was bleeding pro
fusely, and blood can be seen along the
sidewalk on Illinois street from Dock
to Union square, where they succeeded in
checking its flow somewhat. When pass
ing Mr., Shay's house, MIR. Doyle stopped
and got help and they then proceeded tC
the Harper House steps, where Mr., Doyle
and the wounded man stopped, while the
other man went to find the police. HI
was gone so long that Mr.. Doyle started
himself to find the police. They succeed
ed in finding Officers German and Taylor
who took charge of the wounded man
He was taken to the Harper House dru!
store and his wounds dressed, after which
as they did not have sufficient cause t
arrest him, they let him go.
When Mr.. Doyle returned home some o
his folks told him that some one ha
attempted to break into the house Of Mrs
Tobin, which is on the alley in the frs
lot west of Mr., Doyle's. The attempt wa
at window on the east side of the hous,
which is just west of barn, leaving
passage way Of about four feet betwee
them. In attempting to open the windo'
the man aroused David Tobin, who wa
sleeping in the room, who immedlatel
! called for a revolver. This frIghtned th
man away, and David jumped out of be
and, dressing himself, followed him, over
taking him near Dock street, where, afte
few words, he struck him, having th
revolver in his hand at the time,
It's claimed that somebody had bee
prowlipg around the premises the nigt
before.
The man was what is called ''heav
SET" and had the appearance Of bein
Y very strong. He was stranger here.

The Illinois Democrats are as much at
sea as ever as regards a candidate for
governor. Their state convention will
meet on the 27th instant. Elk Congress
man Sam. Marshall seems to be the most
talked Of Chicago Journal.
No Democratic state convention will be
held in Illinois on the 9th, and the Journal
ought to know that no Democratic state
convention has yet been called for the
nomination of state officers, and that none
will be held until after the ST. Louis con-
vention, which meets on the 9th.
A Democratic state convention will be
held in Illinois on the 22d, merely to choose
delegates to st. Louisiana after the 81.
Louis convention state convention will be
held to nominate state ticket. If Judge
Marshall is most talked of, we have Dol
heard the news. He would make most
excellent governor, so would Hen. Charles
Durham, of Geneseo; but it seems to u:
that the Hon. John f, Farnsworth, of St
Charles, is the most available man for the
Democrats to run. He is one of the ablest
men in Illinois He has had large ex.
perience in public affairs. He was long
time 10 congress, and his record is un
sulled. He is very able stump speaker
and good deal more than a match fol

Democratic Organization.

Occasionally we are asked why, at the
Democratic county meeting, on Saturday,
the 18th, next week. no delegates are
called for from the various towns, and no
candidates are to be nominated for county
Offices. We supposed that everybody who
read THE ARGUS understood the reason,
but perhaps they do not. and therefore we
will explain it, and urge all who read this
to explain it to their neighbors.
1t is not desirable to nominate candi
dates, for state, district, or county offices
until after the national conventions have
been held, aud the national platforms con-
structed. The people don't care much
for the platforms, however, for no party
lives up to them; they are only made to
gull the people, as general thing,
and never much regarded after election.
The best platform is the man nominated.
Still, it is best to wait and see how the
thing looks, in national point of view, be-
fore we start the local campaign, for there
may be such an accession to our ranks as to
make it desirable to have different local
candidates from those who might be NOM
mated before the national campaign is
opened.
| The state convention is called only tC
choose delegates to st. Louis. After the
st. Louis convention state convention
will be called to nominate state candidates
and the county conventions called t.
choose delegates to that state convention
should be delegate conventions and nomin
ate candidates for county officers.
On Saturday Of next week it is desired
to commence new organization, and ever,
voter, in every town in the county, VIII,
wants to see a change in the administra
ton, is invited to come to the court hous
and help choose delegates to the stat
conYention, and appoint county commit
tee. That's all there is to be done now
After St. Louis has spoken. then let u
organize and open the local campaign
Till then, let every voter keep himsel
uncommitted to any candidate, state, pa
tional or local, and wait till he has
chance to view the whole field. But lie
all who want change in public affair
come to the court house next week Satul
day, without further ceremony or invita-
ton. 1t is to be peoples NEE ting.
