SPRINGFIELD, Ill June 1O.-The Dem
ocratic state convention convened in Rep
resentative Hall at the State house, at
10:45 A. NJ. with full attendance of dele.
gates; the galleries also we'll fled with
visitors. The convention walled to order
| by Hon. Geo. McNelly, chairman OF the
state central committee who. after the
call had been read. nominated Hon. Sam
Ell S, Marshall of Hamilton, temporary
chairman. Marshall was unanimously
elected, and made brief speech araigning
the Republican party and predicting the
success,of the Democratic party in the COM
ing campaign.
Hon Lyman Trumbull who had just
entered the hall was loudly called for and
finally responded with speech. He said
he was q practical man and believed the
party had before it hard and difficult
campaign. No matter what objections
could be raised to the Republican presi-
Dental nominees, they will command the
votes of the Republican party andithe Dem
ocracy had the Republican party to defeat
and not its nominee. The Democrats had
in the past listened too much to the
advice of their adverssries. Mr.. Trumbu
then proceeded to review and criticize
Hayes administration and urged the con-
vention to put forward the best men of
the partv. If this should be done, he
predicted victory. as the last presiden-
tial election had demonstrated that the
party we're a msjority OF the people of the
Unitsd States.
