or three more than is Necessary to give him
the nominee; but it is suspicious fact that
while this CLAIM, is made with every appear
ance Of confidence, yet the men who have
charge OF the movement say they have no

Root has it, and will bring it here wish him
tomorrow night.
AT LOGANs HEADQUARTERS
the captains and hcnchmcn claim with
equal confidence that they have eighty votes
pledged, but they also are very shy of any
proposition as toa look at their muster
rolls, There are about fifty Republicans
here already, Of whom Logan claims the
most. 1t appears to have beena part of the
tactics Of that astute wire-wOrkcr to brinp
his men on the ground first, and thus gain
the benefit of the bureau. There
is little Or nothing said here tonight about
Farwell, but this fact nor all the others
stated, DO not, it is believed, indicate the
outcome Of the fight The word fight" is
used advsably, because, while the leaders
OF the various factions are free TO swear that
there is no bitterness between the contend
ing aspirants or their partsans, the
EVIDENCE OF A BITTER FEELING
is quite plain, and it is equally clear that
the bitterness is increasing. Another fact
IS that the leaders and operators of the fac
tons are running about to-day proclaimiDr
loudly that in no possible event can there
be any bolt from the caucus, or any other
disorganizing movement. This statement.
1t Is believed, should be interpreted by the
rule Of c0ntraries, which is to say it is ind
eating that those who make il greatly fear
that 1t Is not true The actual state Of the
case in tins view is that, whereas some Of
the opponents Of Logan threatened to bolt
II he was nominated. now sOmeof his supper
icrs threaten TO bolt if he is net nominated.
THE REGULAR REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
is to be held on Tuesday evening, but the
preliminary meeting is to be held on
Monday.
Speaking Of caucusing it has leaked out
tonight that the supporters of Logan are
to hold special and private caucus to.
morrow. 1t will be apparent 10 those who
are posted on Illinois politics that until
all the Republicans get in here and perhaps
until the caucuses are held, the question as
to who Is to be the senator will still be in
loubt.

lerlng from the effects of Dyspepsia, or
dlSordercd liver. The result of these diseases
upon the masses of intelligent and valuable
people is more alarming, making life actu.

OF enjoyment and usefulness. There is no
good reason for this, if you will only throw
aside prejudice and skcpticism, take the
advice of druggists and your friends, and

Divorced women give u curve pretty similar TO
