become very great. 1t would not then
be the responsibility of representing a

people to choose their own rulers. That
right is above all that lies beneath all. for
if the people are denied the right to
choose their own officers according to
their own Judgment, what shall

CHICAGO, July 31.-Chairman Oberly, o.
the state Democratic committee, has beeI
promising a unique" campaign for thi
year, and Tuesday night he unfolded one o.
his plans to a reporter.
''it has always been the CUSTOM" he said
ITO use the railroads to bring the audience t.
the speaker; this year we will reverse thing!
and have the speaker come to his audiences
About Sept. we will get special car anC
an engine and go over the various rail
road lines in the state. We will bill
all the various small towns along tn,
line for miles around, telling the people q
What time Mayor Harrison will be along
and the train will stop, and Carter will
peak to the assembled crowds, and then
.he train will proceed"
"Quite like the advance agent of circusl"
said the reporter.
you can compare it TO that, if you like.
As said, we will stop in this manner at the
smaller towns and fix the time, so
hat we will remain over night at larger
places where mass-meetings will be held In
this way we can cover more ground in less
time, and 60 over the state SO thoroughly
hat every one can have chance to see and
hear Mayor Harrison. For instance, we
have computed that the trip from Chicago to
Cairo, over the Illinois Central, will take
four days"

las been fixed as the day for the grand eel
ebration of the birthday of the Republican
party at Strong. Mr.. Blaine, ex-Vice Presi-
lent Hannibal Hamlin, Governor Morrill,,
Congressman Boutelle and Dingley, ex-
Governor Long and other distinguished
guests will be present.
As far as can be ascertained, the credit for
the formation of the Republican party be-
longs to the people of Franklin county,
Maine who met in convention at Strong,
Aug. z, 1854, and from the union of the Free
Soil Wing, and independent Democrats
came forth the party which the next year
elected Anson P. Morrill, governor, and in
six years obtained control of the government
Of the country. The name of the new party
was suggested by Maj Willard, of Strong,
and on his motion it was unanimously
sdnuted.

once famous Boston preacher, has left Texas,

Mooney, one of Mr. Kelley's warmest and
most trusted friends, when spoken to relative
to the Saratoga conference and the posi-
bility of Tammany supporting the national
Democratic ticket. said:

ago, | have serious doubts that he

reasons which were given then are un-
changed. There is a deep-seated feeling
against him among the workingmen which it
seems impossible to eradicate l have talked
with prominent citizens who employ many
men, and they tell me the same story.
Whether or not they may change their minds

commissioner Of public works, smiled when
the subject of the Saratoga conference was
alluded to, but declined to make any COM

AS regards the prospects of Cleveland and
Hendricks" he said, you can put it down
that their election is forgone conclusion.
Nothing can prevent it. Governor Cleve
