All the newspaper statements regard

nothing whatever to do with the contest.
The road that 10 to pass the Canadian Pacific

Illinois More Than Doubtful.

The claim made by the Democratic Com
mittee OF Illinois that they can carry that
State for Cleveland may be o~verconadent,
but it is not without O solid basis. Such
changes as are specifically enumerated in our
Chicago dispatch indicate something very
much more like o political revolution than
anything poor Mr.. Blaine has yet run across.
To mention only q few oil. the names given,
there is Mr.. John Fl. Clough, a Republican
State Senator UP to 1884; Mr.. s. III. McCrea,
Republican Treasurer of Cook County; Mr..
Deering, the maker ofharvesters; Mr.. Wright,
ex-President of the Board ofTrade; Uriah Dex-
ter, Esq. the well-known lawyer, and others
outside ofChicago ofequal prominence. Besides
individual cases like these there are two
classes in which there has been O complete
change since 1884, one, the Germans, who
are extremely interested in the question Of
tariff reform, the other tho Blaine Irishmen,' y
who have lost faith not only in the party to
which they temporarily went over in 1884,
but in the leader whom they followed. To
the influences that nave made themselves felt
by these classes must be- added the very gen
eral discomfort with the Republicans among
the immediate friends of the late Gen. Logan
and among those of Judge Gresham, both of
whom had o large following among quite
different classes ofthe community. Illinois is

Indiana, thereby belittling Harrison and
making 1T an Eastern State administration.
For that reason the national committee had
treated the Indiana committee worse than
any State committee had been treated in the
history of politics. No money had been fur

nothing. Mr.. Huston is also credited with

licans Of Indiana from disgrace, to carry

Illinois Considered Safe.

According to the st. Louis Republic, there
is no longer any doubt about the election of
General Palmer as Governor of Illinois. The
only question is as to the size ofhis majority.
Some of the shrewdest politicians in the

few of the well informed now have any doubt
of a majority of 5000 to 5000. The truth
