IlIimois Republicans.

SPRMGFIELD, H., May 2.-The Re-
publican State Convention assembled
at noon and temporary organization
was effected with Congressman Pay
son as Chairman. AT the conclusion
OF Payson's opening speech and after
the appointment of different commit
tees a recess was taken until 3 O'Clock.
After assembling, Joseph w. Fifer,
Of Bloomington, was nominated for
Lieutenant-G Governor ON the fourth
ballot. A resolution endorsing
Gresham for President was enthu.
siastically passed.
Resolutions were adopted express
ing just and honorable pride in the
public services of Senator Cullom and
approving his course in the Senate,
also a lengthy resolution that the Re-
publicans of Illinois regard the record
Of Walter @. Gresham as a soldier
and statesman and jurist with satig.
faction, knowing him to be pure
man and faithful servant, and believ.
ing that in the event of his nomination
for President, by the Republican
party, the campaign must be con-
tested solely ON the principles Of the
great party OF which Judge
Gresham is true representative,
and that he certainly can lead to
victory that party. at is therefore
resolved" said the resolution, "that
we declare our preference for Judge
Gresham as candidate for the Pfesi.
Dental nomination, and recommend
the delegates to the National Conven-
ton to give him hearty and faithful
support"
The following delegates at large
we're elected. Col. Davis, Horace S.
Clark, Senator B. B. Farweli and w.
F. Hadley. Alternates, j. II. Lott,
Payton Roberts, H. G. Judson, L. g..
Wilcox. For Secretary OF State I. N
Pearson was nominated and for State
Treasurer Charles Becker.
THE PLATFORM OPENS
With declaration that the party
deems it unnecessary on the eve Of
the National Convention to make an
extended declaration of its principles,
more than to reaffirm those laid down
in the national platform OF 1884, and to
express the conviction that the public
interests would be greatly promoted
by change of Administ, alton. 1t
then arraigns the Democratic Admin
istration for failure to carry out the
pledge made in the platform in 1884,
denounces the Civil Service acts oi
the President and denounces the Dem
ocratic party, which, while protesting
attachment to State sovereignty and
home rule denies both to American
citizens Of Dakota for fear that the
votes of that body OF people might be
cast for the Republican candidates at
the coming election. 1t refers to the
fact that the President who commit
ted himself to the one term principle
is now using federal patronage to
secure reelection.

Hartford, Conn, May 2.-The
Democratic State Convention was
called to order at 1905 this morning.

A Practical Demonstration.

asked how she liked the situation

SALT LAKE, June 10.-A singular shoot
ing afiray occurred at Mount Pleasant
the other night, the sequel to which was
a marriage. Andrew Romarro had
called on young lady to whom he had
been paying attention, Miss Mortensen.
While engaged in slight scuffle, she
drew revolver from his pocket, and
pointing it at him said, in a joking man
ner, that she would shoot him il he
did not let her alone. "Look out, it is
loaded" said Romarro. Just then Miss
Mortensen pulled the trigger, when the
bullet entered the left side Of his face.
Almost wild with frenzy the girl flung
the pistol away and began to run. Ro-
mario, bleeding profusely, fell but got up
and went into the house. A doctor was
summoned and the wound dressed. The
shooting was done about Z p. NJ, aud ut
midnight they were married. The doc
tors say that though the wound is dan
gerous, the young man is likely to re-
cover.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Dr. Pepper
arrived from Philadelphia at $40 this
afternoon and was joined by DIR Lincoln
and the other physicians interested in
General Sheridan's case. A consultation
was held and the following bulletin
issued this evening:
7P. M.-General Sheridans condition
continues at least as favorable as it has
been for six days past. His respiration
is still irregular. Cough and expectora-
ton are less. Heart action is improved.
His nervous force holds out well, and his
mind is clear. There is no present in.
dication Of any serious combinations
impending. His appearance is better
and he expresses himself as feeling hope
ful OF recovery.
CONSIDERABLY IMPROVED.
Midnight-General Sheridans condi-
ton is considerably improved, and there
Is again hope that he may yet be able to
get about once more. The constant fear
Of a relapse and another attack OF heart
failure remains omnipresent, however,
and hangs like loud over the house
hold. All the symptoms have become
more favorable, and the General respira-
ton and strength had improved SO much
that Dcctor's Pepper and Lincoln, who
joined the four regular doctors in con.
sultation at about o'clock in the even
ing, were able TO make a more thorough
and extensive examination Of the patient
than heretofore. 1t is understood that
they found General Sheridan better in
every way than on their previous visits
The history of the case has shown q
constant tendency to recurrence of
heart troubles, and this causes the ap-
prehension and dread that the General
may become much worse at any time.
Bat for this fact all would feel quite hope
ful. 1t was thought the attacks showed
a more or less periodical tendency to re-
turn every third or fourth day. Three
days have now elapsed since the last
attack, and the doctors are anxiously
watching to see it these will recur. Rigid
treatment has been prescribed with the
hope Of warding off any threatened at
tacks. Should the General continue
forty eight hours longer without return
OF heart trouble, it is believed he will
have good fighting chance to get we'll.
12:20 A. M.-General Sheridan has
been resting comfortably for the whole
period since the last bulletin was issued.
He has taken nourishment and has good
sleep. There is no change to record.

UNHAPPY MAN.
A Travelling Salesman Driven to

Weiss, one of the best known statesmen
travelling out of Chicago, was found dead
in Golden Gate Park this afternoon,
with bullet hole through his head
and revolver by his side with two
chambers empty. The developments
proved that it was case OF suicide, and
letters found on his person showed the
cause was the loss Of money from gam

wife and children Among his other
papers was a contract entered into
with his firm, Kuh, Nathan & Fisher,
