tendent Of public instruction, at spring.
field on Thursday, April llth. This
action OF the committee will be approved
by the great majority OF Democrats, and
will place the party on an aggressive
basis, and give 1t an advantage OF all
opponents. In the past the policy has
been to wait until all other party tickets
have been placed in the field, and as a
consequence much valuable time Las
been lost. We believe the action OF the
committee to be wise, and that II good
ticket Is nominated 1t will be elected.

THEjury in the Rande trial returned q
verdict OF guilty, and fixed the punish

imprisonment for life. This verdict
was such a disappointment to the people
OF Galesburg and Knox county that it
was feared an effort would be made to
lynch the murderer, to prevent which,
the sheriff. In less than one hour after
the verdict was rendered, was on his way
to the penitentiary with the prisoner.
