THE CANVASS for the Governorship in
Illinois is one of peculiar interest this
year, both tickets being headed by vet
erun soldiers-General Palmer, who
achieved considerable distinction in the
war, upon the Democratic side, and
Joseph Fifer, who fought with equal
zeal and patriotism, though in the ranks.
upon the Republican side. Some con-
fdence is expressed by the Democrats Of
carrying the State, but such a result is
not probable. OF General Palmer :
superior fitness for the position in point Of
experience and ability, however, is not
questioned; his great difficulty will be to
capture enough Of the enemy to elect
him.
