Senator Cullom says that he is firmly of the
opinion that there will be no senatorial election
in Illinois. There must be, it is stated, under

him. Thus the fact that one or more on either
side might remain absent, or cast scattering
votes, is of no consequence. There must be 1903
votes for the man who is to be elected. The
soundest Democrats will solidly unite on Moulton,
for whom one Republican is said to be pledged
There is it is held, no prospect of an election

will be no election; that Gov. Oglesby will ap-
point senator, probably Logan, and that the
