PALMER FOR LEADER.
Illinois Democrats Will Nominate
a Ticket To-Day.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 25.-The
Democratic state convention opens to-
morrow and a majority of the delegates,
together with nearly 1000 adherents of
the party that are not accredited to the
gathering, are on the grounds. Indi-
cations tonight point strongly to the
selection of eX-Gov. Palmer as the gu
bernatorial standard bearer. Ex-Land
Commissioner Sparks has failed to
gather the strength expected and his
henchmen are almost willing to confess
tonight that it is losing cast. Assist
ant Postmaster Gen. Stevenson could
have the nomination If he desired it.
There are doubts as to the sincerity of
his recent declination, and reports are
current that delegate will tomorrow
inform the convention that he is willing
to become the standard bearer, pro-
vided a nomination comes by acclama-
tion.

But Predicts the Election CT
Cleveland With Ease.

New YORK, May 22.-The smooth
viSaged statesman of Maryland. Senator
Arthur p. German, is given credit in
his party for a gread deal of far-reach-
ing sagacity and wisdom. This has
partly come about from his reticence
and partly because he was the manager.
as chairman of the Democratic eXecu-
tive committee, of the successful cam
paign of 1884. So much difference do a
few votes make that if 600 residents of
New York had transferred their ballots
to Blaine, Senator German would be ey-
ecrated as nu.nbSiull in politics. He

keen judge of men and a thorough

him to-day in which he said he would

In 1884" he remarked, "there were no
Democrats holding federal office from
whom the committee would receive con-
tributiOnS. There was then no imprO-
priety in my position. But there was so
much question whether senators, men,
berS of congress and federal appointees
were not liable to prosecution under the
civil service act, if they were members
of committees receiving money from
federal Officeholders, that the Repub-
olution that no such officials should be
appointed members of the national COM
mittee. We have now to face the same
allhcuity. While L see no impropriety
in holding position Oh the committee
and receiving voluntary subscriptions,
1 SHALL RETIRE,
so that there may be no question
raised" Senator German chatted freely
about New York and national Demo-
cratic politics. Said he: 1.-The united
condition of the Democracy in New
York seems togive the Republicans the
idea that there is trouble underneath.
They say that the Democracy always
does best when it quarrels most fiercely
internally, and the observation is true
enough. but l apprehend there will be
quarreling enough on local matters
among the Democratic leaders to make
up for any lack of it on larger matters,
and that the results will be eminently
satisfactory to us. In our party there is
really but one presidential candidate.
There is no opposition to him, and his
reelection may be safely predicted.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Guenther, of
Wisconsin, the great oratorical leader of
the German-Americans for the Republi-

support and will uncompromisingly OPP
pose Gresham, because of his former
Know Nothing affiliations andlhis unpar-
donable illusions to the "llZy, lop-
cared, dirty Dutch" in speech deliv-
cred prior to 1860. He claims to have a
copy of the New Albany, Ind, Ledger
titled TO by eighteen reputable citizens.
This attitude of Guenther is regarded as
a dangerous, if not fatal, thrust at the
Gresham boom. The Chicago Tribune
will deny that Gresham ever made the
speech, or was Know Nothing, and will

In this count Clerk Clark gives the
bill the support of three Independents
and one Republican, Mr.. Fitch, of New

following Democrats: Randall and
Sowden, of Philadelphia; Merriman
and Stahlnecker, of New York; McAdoo

will not give to the public. His esti-
mated majority for the bill is six. Mr..

defeat it, even with the votes of Nelson

TO KILL WILD BUCKwHEAT
One of the Best Methods Is
Believed to Be to Sow Millet
or Hungarian Grass.

one OF the BEST MeChOQS is
Believed to Be to Sow Millet
or Hungarian Grass.
Farmers who tried the experiment
last year, says one of the papers, claim
that the best and surest way to COM
pletely eradicate that pest of the farm
ers' life, wild buckwheat, is to sow the
land to millet or Hungarian grass.
Those who sowed these grasses last
year claim that there is not a vestige of
wild buckwheat plant left in land sowed
to these crops. The sowing of these
forage crops is certainly the best, the
cheapest, and surest way to insure a
winters supply of hay, and of that kind
upon which all stock can be wintered
with none, or at least but lit
tie grain added. And if either millet
or Hungarian grass is allowed to mature
the yield per acre will be handsome
source of profit to the farmer, exceed
ing the profit from wheat both in yield
and price, as can be testified to by those
whose raised it last year. Of course it
would not be wise or good policy for a
farmer to SOW his whole farm to these
grasses in any one year; let him sow
from ten to twenty acres per year, COM
mencing with the foulest land on his
farm, and it will take but few years
on an average-SiZed farm to clean out
the wild buckwheat and other weeds.
1t certainly is worth while trying, eSpe-
cially so when there is no danger of loss
to the farmer while making the expert
ment. Both hungarian and inlet stand
drouth exceedingly well, and are rea-
SOnably sure crop every year.
