Special Correspondence Of the Sentinel.l
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The weather has
changed, and is now more comfortable. Fall
business is beginning to set in, and things
look promising for good business season.
The wheat crop in northern Illinois spd
Iowa is pretty much OF failure, and but
moderate returns will be made for it. At
Milwaukee the railroads are doubling what
to do with the wheat in some parts OF Wis
consin that is rendered for transportation,
through fear Of losing freight charges, so
much of it looks more like chicken feed than
grain for Touring purposes. The crop in GEN.
trail and southern Minnesota is light Whole
fields both in Wisconsin and Minnesota are
left untouched, and in a short time will be
burned.
In Wisconsin and Illinois the republicans
are thoroughly organized, and your CORE
spondent feels sure they will claim that they
will make some gains IN the next congress.
The republican national executive commit
tee. 1 am told have picked out about 80
doubtful districts in which to spend their
money, and capture a majority and obta in
the control of the house. Carter H. Harrison,
of this city, has declined to stand for
a reelection because the nationals would
run a candidate and probably defeat him.
The result Is that bullion republican
friend of John Sherman will now carry
that district. In the Milwaukee district the
Hon. William Pitt Lynde has withdrawn
and a hard money democrat, p. V. Denster,
will be put in his place. The currency re-
formers will lose Mr.. Lynde and Mr.. Harrl-
son by their sheer stupidity or something
worse. They are both able and valuable
currency reform democrats in the present
congress Here are two more instances
when Sturgeon and Shupe are helping cur
rency reform by forcing the election of but
lionists as strong as John Sherman, and at
least one Sherman partisan.
In the two northern Wisconsin districts
represented by General Edward s. Bragg
and General Gate Bouck, both ardent green
back democrats, the nationals haye nOmi-
mated candidates with no other possible effect
than to defeat their two gallant greenback-
ers and elect Sherman republicans in their
places. learn to-day that one, il not both
of them, will pull through without the aid
of the Sturgeon and Shupe pretenders
This same decentralization extends through
out ILLINOIS and Wisconsin, and Illinois,
am told, will probably send them more re-
publIcans OF the next congress than she has
the present. all of whom will be zealousS her-
NANTES Bill Morrison, the only bullion
Sherman democratic member from Illinois,
will have no national candidate now against
hmm, 1 am told. 1t is only the greenback
democrats the nationals are after and seek to
defeat.
In a.late newspaper / find the following:
The following statement was prepared by
Mr.. James Wright, Of Elmira, with the inten-
ion nf QuhmifffnO III tn the SvrQQnGQ W. m
ton:
18th OF April last that he had dined that day
with John Sherman, who had expressed him
self decidedly in favor of the labor cause and
(Sherman) was heartily sick Of the old parties,
their rings, chickering's and conduct generally;
that his sympathy being with the working
ganize q labor league throughout the United
States. This was to be secret organization.
Shupe added that sherman had given him the
figures on resumption. showing that nothing
could prevent 1t. He said IL would throw into
circulation, with gold at par, threa or four
give all the currency required, take the wind
out of the sails OF the national party and wipe
Il out Of existence. 1t wa arranged between
Shupe and Sherman that this party must die.
Out of its ashes was to arise, in Phoenix FASH
ion, the labor league, Sherman debating who
should be It's national leader through Peter
Cooper using the old man again as a conven-
lent cats paw.
am we'll informed that Shupe has held
similar conversations with others. 1 am
told the Mr.. Wright who made this state
ment is the same gentleman. who came with
in two or three votes of being nominated for
supreme Judge OF the state Of New York at
the late national state convention at SYRIA
cuse.
What the democratic party lacks in this
state, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa is Or
ganIzation. In this state and Wisconsin the
republicans are ten per cent. stronger than
the democrats because of their better organ
izaton. Ii would be well for the members
of the national executive committee of the
democratic party to begin to realize they
have something to do besides folding their
arms and quietly sitting down under full
sense of their official dignity. There is inn
portant work for them to dothat they should
be performing il. On the issues now before
the country the liberal democrats can carry
the next congress triumphantly il they are
only equal to the occasion. The hand is be-
fore them. Have they the courage aid man
illness 10 take it up and avail themselvesof
1t?
