DAVID DAYS. SUCCESSOR


The shrewdest and best informed pol.
iticians throughout Illinois are begin
ming to cJncedc that the Republican
senatorial contest will be between Coy
Cullom and Lieut.. Gov. Hamilton, both
of whom for some time have given their
friends to understand that there is no
foclishness about their candidacy. Gen.
Green 3. Raum, who had made several
flying trips from Washington in his
own interests, does not seem to "catch
on, so 20 speak, and his strongest fol-
lowers are not among the most infuen-
tial Republicans with the people of the
state. 1t may be said that he is not a
very popular man, and with the party
he NAV be considered weak candidate.
Lieut. Gov Hamilton, who came to H.
linOis about fifteen years ago from Ohio,
seems to be the coming man. Only IS
years of age, he is yet bright and bril-
liant in his abilities. From the present
outlook there seems To be every chance
in favor that he will step into David
Davis senatorial shoes.

EXTRA SESSION Talk.

The Democracy has boom and a
victory, and it wants 10 use them. 1t
can hardly wait year, So the talk of
the pressing necessity of an extra ses-
sion IN the spring has already com
menced Of course the Democrats
would not think of such a thing unless
there was a pressing necessity" for it.
The existence of the present congress
which meets the first Monday in next
month, will end at noon March 4th 1888.
The term of the representatives-clect
will then begin; and if there should be
an extra session of congress called the
newly elected representatives would
organize the house. As everybody
knows, the new house of representatives
will be largely Democratic, and its
speaker, clerk, sergeant-at-aEms, door
keeper, and numerous chairmen
of committees, clerks, employees,
&c, will all be Democrats. The
mere statement of this fact is enough
to make the average Democrats mouth
water. That so much patronage should
be Just within reach is indeed tantaliz-
ing to the place hunters and oflice-brok-
ers who hang on the skirts Of every pol
itical party. Shall the day for the re-
distribution OF this plumber be set SO
far off as the first Monday in Decem-
Der, 1888, when the regular session OF
the new congress must begin? or shall
II be made necessary that the new con
gress be convened early in the new year
Shall the Democrats enter into posses
sion at once or will they see the Re
publican office holders complacently
keeping their places from March until
December? These are questions which
W i'll agitate the bosoms of the Demo
cratic congressmen-clectd during the win
ter more than any considerations for the
good of the country. As a partizau we
could hope for the extra session, bat for
the good of the country we hope twill
not be held.
