Governor Cullom's easy "walk,over' in
the contest for denomination was great
surprise to his competitors; but not to those
who kept an eye on the drift Of public SEN
timent. Democrats and Republicans alike
agree that Shelby NJ, Cullom, as governor
of Illinois, did his duty as he was enabled
to see his duty; and the majority of the
delegates to the state convention, recogni2-

which he thought himself entitled, and the
indications are that the great mass of the
antly satisfed-even gratiiied with the re-
suit Democrats, even those who expect
that the Democratic state convention will
name the next governor of Illinois, say that
Cullom was governor of the people and
not of party, and that if it should occur
that he is reelected, all Of them expect to
summon philosophy enough to put them
through another four years Of Cullom, with
very little cause for rancor, political, or
otherwise.
The enumeration for the next census be-

those who have been appointed enumera-
tors will do we'll to remember the change.
Each business man will be required to
give statistics in regard to his business.
! The farmers will be also called upon 10 an
swer a number Of questions, and should be

committee reported that the net receipts of
the late picnic given by the club,
amounted to about seventY-tive dollars.
Capt. Jas. F. Miller then presented his

was alcohol and what should we do with
him? We had tried to starvc him out; had
tried to withdraw from HIM, but had failed.
As David had killed the giant Goliah, so
We had to kill the giant alcohol and for
that purpose he favored an amendment to
the constitution Of the United States
which would prohibit the importngs

drinks. The reverend gentleman spoke
well and like man who had given the
temperance subject the proper thought
