delivered by General Garfield in the face
OF his constituents, when the charges were
fresh and public sentiment was In the
highest degree exacting, call attention to
the fact that this speech was circulated In
large quantities throughout thst district;
that General Garfield was reelected to
Congress from the Nineteenth district OF

1873; and that In January. 1880, he was

St. Louis Republican.
Illinois shows signs of becoming the
theatre of a desperate struggle between the
partisans of Grant and of Blaine, Two
weeks ago il was regarded as certain for
the former. but in the last few days there
are ominous whlsperings that the auda-
cious Maine candidate intends to invade it
and make an attempt to secure its delega-
ton, Or part of it, for himself Illinois is
the ex- presidents state, and his friends
claim it for him as Shermaa's friends
claim Ohio; and up to very recent date
it was not dreamed that any antagonist
would dare to contest it. But we hear
now that Mr.. Blaine is at work and that
his steadfast friend Col. Bob Ingersoll ls
at work too, ION q scheme to bring Illinois
round to the Maine gentIeman's side.
Illinois is Ingersoll's state as well as
| Grants. and he claims the right to have
word to say about the IMPOSITION OF its
Chicago delegation. In plain, the Blame
partlsans are going to make determined
hight to defeat the appointment OF Grant
delegation in Illinois.
| And well they may. Is is matter of life
and death with them. Pennsylvania has
instructed for Grant, and it is conceded
that New Z ork will follow in the same dlrec-
ton in the state convention that meets next
| Wednesday. Now,if Illinois shall instruct
it's AZ delegates to vote for Grant
also, the ex-president will go into the
Chicago convention with these great states
at his back, and ITO votes absolutely as
snred to him to begin with. This will set
tie the business, for other smaller states
and individual delegates will follow the lead
OF Pennsylvania. New York and Illinois,
and the nomination of Grant will be as
sured three months before the meeting OF
the nominating convention. 1t, therefore,
Grant can secure the Illinois delegation,
Blaine and Sherman may retire from
the field and leave the Grant nomination
TO be made unanimous So. Illinois
is to be made the pivotal state on which
the question of the nomination of Grant
turns. Ii it goes against Grant the tide
will be turned and his fortunes will begin
to decline. Even If the Illinois delegation
shall be only halt for Grant and half for
some one else, this would be serious
blow to him. Both parties the Grant
and the Blaine factions-see this clearly,
and are preparing for desperate struggle
in our neighboring state 1t will not be
child's play. There is no one man in Illi-
nois that can dictate its course, like Cam
eron in Pennsylvania or Coukling in New
York; but there is d number of prominent,
active aud able Republicans in the state
| following the fortunes of Grant and Blaine
| respectively. and the contest between
them will be fierce and bitter

grain-eight thousand bushels of which
was No. wheat, and grown upon FIVE

thirteen hundred acres are under cultiva-
