his vote in advance for Senator. But it Is
expected that the people will have some
thing to say about who shall represent
them, aim then again there are disturbing
elements that may interfere with the gen.
tlemen who are trying to ''fix things in
the country. The railroads and
the manufacturers will take a
hand in the game, and try and select men
who will be in favor Of modifying
the railroad laws. While the Changers
and anti-monopoflsts win try and get men
who viii stand by the law and by the Rail
road Board. 1t is difficult to predict what
kind of body the next Legislature WILDE,
but it should not be selected simply for the
purpose of voting for any particular person
for United States Senator. The In
ternal Revenue officers are red hos
for General Raum, and it looks as II
other Federal officers may take hand in to
help him out. That viii depend good
deal on Senator Logan. 1t is generally sup
posed that he can name his colleague;
but it is asserted that he will keep his
hands off, and let the candidates fight 1t
out among themselves. Governor Gull
lom is not exactly in the field, but he
would take It on a silver platter The
State officers, the officers of the various
State institutions, the various Park
| Boards, ETC., etc., will put in their best
icks for the Governor. Sowill Lieutenant
Governor Hamilton, and Senator Campbell.
President of the Senate, who are no slouch-
es in acampaign, If they take off their coats,
roll up their sleeves, and wade in Jake
| Wheeler, United States Marshal for South
ern Illinois, is one of Cullom's right bowers.
There is a runner, which is hardly to be
1 credited, that Senator Logan win be for
Judge Davis, so that the patronage may
| remain wholly in bis hands, which would
not be the case if Cullom were elected.
Cullom would insist on his share. But
| Cullom and Raum are not the only can
didates There are General Henderson,
Mr.. Cannon, Mr. Fort, and Tom Ridge
way wouldn't throw the place over his
shoulders. In this connection. no count is
made of the democrats who, it is not ex-
pected, will have anything to say about
the election-though it is possible that
they may. IF they have Messrs. Palmer,
Trumbull, Morrison, Fuller, Goudy,
Springer, and, of course, Judge Davis will
be in the race. For
| THE OTHER OFFICES
it may be said that General Rinaker is
talked of for Governor in 1884. 1t is un-
derstood that Lieutenant Governor Hamil
ton is in the field, and General Hawley and
Mr. Fort may show up. General Johns G.
Smith is already at work TO secure the
nomination for State Treasurer. He had
it the last ime, and was succeeded by Mr.
Rutz, who may want to succeed Genera
Smith again. They take pleasure in sue
ceeding each other What pity they
{ could not both hold the Office at the same
, time They are both strong men in Ger
tain sense. d. D. Parry, a Representative
, in the lower house from Warren county
is going to try his luck for the most lucra

away with $15, 1000, as was, unfortunately
the case with General Smith, who had t.
