Notwithstanding the fact that Illinois Is
classed among the states that are reliably re-
publican in the coming presidential election,
there is active and aggressive competition
among democrats for control of the delegation
to the Cincinnati convention. The fight over
the primaries and nominating conventions Is a
triangular one. Ex-Governor Palmer has boldly
taken the field In his own behalf, while Con-
gresham Morrison and Senator David Davis
are relying upon friends to take care of their
respective interests. Palmer is heavily handl-
capped by the report that his candidacy is only
side move in the interest of Tilden; that his
purpose is to secure as many delegates to the
state convention as possible and at the last mo-
ment withdraw with the view of turning them
over to Tilden. Mr.. Morrison has assented to
the use Of his name, and he said at the Capitol
a day or two ago that he intended to make the
very best fight for the state delegation that
was In his power. Senator Davis friends are
counting largely upon having him accepted
as compromise, or rather as harmOnzing
candidate after the convention shall have
wearied of a contest between Morrison and
Palmer. Therefore, the Davis men are not ag-
gressive. They urge, in behalf of their candi-
date. that he could carry Illinois by drawing
support from Independent republicans of
the old school who were friends Of Lin
coin. But it Is patent that the democrats do not
repose the utmost confidence in the politics of
Senator Davis They are afraid that he is not
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of democracy,
and that, If he were elected President, his old
republican friends might have more influence
with him than anybody else. The active fight
for the Illinois delegation to the Cincinnati
convention is, therefore, between the Morrison
and Palmer men, though the Davis men are
looking on and, In mild manner, getting dele
gates where they can. Should the republicans,
at Chicago, nominate as their candidate popu-
lar man, who would command the entire sup
port of the party. then possibly the democrats,
at Cincinnati might take Senator Davis as their
candidate; but they will not be apt to choose
any but tried and true democrat unless the
fight before them shall present the aspect of a
foriorn hope.

The President Upon Capital Punish
ments

The President is reported by the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial as
saying recently that an erroneous impression
had been made public in regard to his position
on the subject Of capital punishment. He said
that not only was he not opposed to capital
punishment, but to the contrary he was stanch
advocate OF it. When he was governor of Ohio
he had said that no woman should be hanged
during his incumbency of that office, and he
supposed 1t was from this that the idea had
been conveyed that he was opposed to capital
punishment. In regard to convicted murderers
In this District, present or prospective, the
President intimated very plainly that no merely
sentimental considerations should have any
weight. but that any mitigations or commute
lions OF sentence would be due to reasons which
properly should weigh. SO far as any Of the
convicted murderers now here are concerned,
ever for any belief that there will be executive
Interference.
1t is satisfactory to know that the President
entertains these wholesome views upon the
punishment of crime at least where male GRIM
inals are concerned, and it is to be hoped that
none Of the desperate class of women afioat
here will commit capital crimes with the eX-
pectatton of executive clemency saving them
from the gallows. His position as President Of
the United States is SO different in relation to
criminals under the death penalty from that
held by him as governor Of state that it would
be very unsafe to count upon his interposing to
save either sex from the sentence OF the courts.
This view Of the case is supported by his state
ment quoted above, "that no sentimental con-
siderations should have any weight" with him
In regard to convicted murderers in this Dis
trict, present or prospective.

A statement was recently made in Congress much
calculated to mislead the public mind 1t was as
serted that S60,00000O was paid for pensions last
year. Now while this is fact let it be understood
that 1000 of this for arrears of pensions
which have been accumulatiag almost ever since

not thus be charged At the outside limit it does
not exceed s4O,oOOOOO per year Now what is

A Warning to Persons Who Are Entitled to, But
Have Not Applied for, Pensions.

Under the provisions of the pension law of Janu-
airy 25 1879, pensions (or the late war only) date
from the discharge death of the soldier, if ap-
piled for before July |, 1880 If the claim should
not be filed prior to that date pension only
mence from the date Of filing the application.
Widows of soldiers, who have remarked, will for
felt pension from the date of first husbands dis
charge death to the date of their remarrage un-
less they file application therefor before July l. 1880
The children of deceased soldiers who were under
sixteen years of age at the date of their fathers
death or mothers remarrage and for whom a guar
dian has not drawn pension until they arrived at
the age of sixteen years and who have attained the
age of twenyone years will forfeit all title pen
sion, unless application therefor shall be filed in the
Pension Office before July l, 1880.
Brothers and sisters of diseased soldiers, who
under the age of sixteen at the date of their
brothers death, and dependent upon him wholly or
in part for their support, and who orphans at
the date of the soldiers decease will if they have
attained the age of twentyone forfeit all right to
pension unless application therefor shall be filed
prior to July |, 1880.
On the first day of July next the old statutes of
limitation, the operations of which are temporarily
suspended by the pension law above referred to Will
again be in force, and fear that many persons of
the above classes and other heirs who are entitled
will find themselves cut off from large sums of pen
sion money, which can now be collected
All persons having title should at once employ
competent and reputable claims attorney and in this
connection we refer to the advertisement page 80
