And who wouldn't see right, sure they blackenet
his eye
At last both the factions as positive grew,
That each kept birthday, 90 Pat then had two.
TIL Father Mulcahy, who showed them their sins
SAID, "No one can have two birthdays but twins"
Says he, "Boys don't be nghtin' for eight or fo

Don't be always divldln'-but sometimes com

Of that holy religion which was planted
on the shores of Ireland by him who died
on that day nearly fourteenhundred years

There is much in the present situation

The RuTLERITES.

The Greenbackers and Ant Monopolists
of Illinois met IN separate conventions at
Bloomington on Wednesday, and after
some preliminary negotiation decided 10
metas one body, the aggregate of both be-
ing about 100 delegates, representing some
81 counties in the state, A platform was
adopted, in which the mames OF both par
ties was dropped and the fusion christened
with the new name of peoples Party"
A state ticket was nominated, headed by
Jesse Harper for governor, and state cleo
toral ticket selected, but a resolution was
adopted authorizing the state committee
appointed by the body to form fusion
electoral ticket, with either the Democrat
ic or Republican party, on the Michigan
plan, of giving a certain proportion Of the
electors to Butler in case the ticket was
elected. As no such fusion of course, can
be made with the Republicans, who must
carry all the Illinois electors to succeed
with Blaine, the only hope of the peoples
Party" Is to effect a fusion with the Dem.
ocrats John II. Oberly, the chairman of
the Democratic state committee, was pres
ent during the convention, and is under
stood TO have assured the body that the
Democrats were not averse to the proposed
fusion, and strongly favoring it himself,
he agreed to do his best with the Demo
cratic state committee to bring it about.
The peoples Party" claim to control So
600 votes in the state, and of course such
vote added to the Democratic vote would
beat Blaine higher than kite.

LoGAN's RECEPTIoN.-The Logan re cep.

corted into town In due form. The special
train of four or five cars from Pullman
reached the 22d street depot about 8 o'clock,
and its arrival was duly announced by the
firing of cannon. Then a procession was
formed, consisting of about 5000 torch
bearers with two or three bands, and John
was escorted to the stand erected in Lake
Park, where he RECALLED the audience with
an hour long stump speech. That a dem
onstration, got up with so much labor and
" regardless of expense" in a city of
100000 people should, on pleasant Satur-
day evening, call out gathering OF thirty
or forty thousand people, was surely moth
at the same hour with great heralding in
advance, would have attracted an equal
crowd
The speech of Logan was a purely cleo
pioneering stump harrangue, of the most
commonplace order,-such a speech as
Wilcox, the Mendota carpenter" is wont
to make and get very little credit for it

he has promised to rest awhile.
