In the Peoria district-the ninth Illinoi.
the Grecnbackers have placed Hon. A.
L. Stevenson in exceeding hot water by nOmi.
mating that gentleman for Congress. Being
so nominated Mr.. Stevenson would like to be
elected, aud his sole possible hope of success
lies in his being also made the candidate Of
the Democrats who are understood to be will

the Greenbackcrs will not allow such dua
candidature. If Mr.. Stevenson accepts the

they caunot do. So poor Stevenson is doomed
to political death anyway.
