THE ILLINOIS CONTEST.

Illinois has been usually regarded by
Democrats as about as hopelessly Re
publican as Ohio-not that the latter is
absolutely and irretrievably lost since
the gallant Old Roman was put on the
ticket. But while other Republican
states have occasionally broken the
record, these two have meyer swerved
In the presidential year, and Democrats
have not demurred at their being placed
III the column of certain Republican
states. The Democrats are not likely to
need Illinois in the electoral vote, but
only three states show larger figures,
and its twenty-five votes will aid in Civ
ing cheerful amplitude to the Demo-
cratic accomplishment. 1t is not in
sisted that Illinois is safely over the
danger line and can be counted Oh
the side of tariff reform and low
taxation, but the recent and growing in
dicatl0nS are vastly more favorable than
the early anticipations. Prominent
among these is the vigorous and brill
liant canvass being made for governor
by the gallant old soldier. Gen.
PALMER, who was among the first to go
into the war and was the last soldier
mustered out He belongs to class of
men who figured III Illinois quarter of
century or more ago, when the public
mind was conyulsed with great issues,
who had wonderful power before pop

LINCOLN, DOUGLAS, BAKER. YATES.

others. They were men who touched
the popular chords with master
hands. TRUMBULL still lives. but
does not take an active part
in politics. OGLEsBY.i is in the yellow

Democratic Talk.

Mankato Free Press.
A Free Press reporter corralled several
of the prominent Democrats of the city
to-day. including some of those who
participated in the st. Paul convention,
and among others obtained the follow
ing Interviews:
Hon. Daniel Buck, Nominee for Lieut.
enant GovernOr-YeS, l suppose | shall
have to make the run. / confess did
not know what to do in the matter.
Strenuously refused to accept any NOM
ination at the hands of the convention,
but l could not help myself when both
friends and enemies pressed the nom
lnatlon for lieutenant governor upon
me. Mr.. Ludwig, of WinOna, the Doran
candidate, got up and withdrew in my
favor, and | could hardly do otherwise
than accept under such circumstances.
Our delegation accomplished all we
went to st. Paul for. We wanted
the convention to elect its chair
man, and we also wanted the central
committee selected by judicial districts,
all of which was accomplished. The
people are now represented on the cen
tral committee, and if it should be a
Doran committee under those circum-
stances it would be all right. But l
think the committee is about eveuly
divided. | think there will be few bolt
erS from the ticket, unless there will be
some in ST. Paul and Minneapolis The
ticket will receive the full vote of the
respectable part of the party, at any
rate. The convention was composed of
brighter and more intelligent delegates
than ever before. 1t eQualed the Dem
ocratlc national convention of '16, which
L attended, in this respect. Blue Earth
county furnished one of the leading
delegations"
w. B. Davies-We got all we went
for, and come home feeling satisfied
with the result. The people rule in the
party to-day and not the bosses. The
nomination for lieutenant governor was
forced upon Mr.. Buck. All factions
united in urging him to accept, and for
fifteen minutes there was nothing but
cries of Buck" "Buckv' This fight
has been as a shower upon a parched
field, and the party in the state will be
freshened and frightened by it, and
will work all the more enthusiastically.
There was more fun in the convention
than you could imagine.
Judge j. <. Porter-The firm of ME,
Mike d john has gone out of business
in this state, and will not be revived
very soon. If it was not a victory for
the anti-Doran men don't know what
you what you would call it. We got
everything we wanted.
j. c. Wise-it cannot be called de-
feat for Doran. The central committee
will be about even, think.
Mayor A. r. Pfau-The anti-Doran
men got all they wanted at st. Paul,
and l don't see how the papers can
claim it is a Doran victory. The Doran
men acceded to the Bowen resolution
after we had accepted slight amend
ment, and that resolution was where
our fight was made. don't see why
any one should not stand by the ticket.

Eugene M. Wilson, who was nomi.
mated for governor at the Democratic
convention Wednesday. and who will
be the standard bearer OF that party
during the present campaign, was not,
by any means, the selection of the Re-
publicanS, who recognize III him man
who will furnish them an opposition
from which they might well shrink. He
is man whose life, ability, character
and public service will never be brought
in question. Foremost among the hon
est and able men of the state, his is in
dee1 fit name to be placed on the ticket
with that other bright name, Grover
Cleveland. The Herald has advocated
that name for more than year. and was
first to propose it. and is indeed proud
that our choice has been that of the
earnest. thinking Democrats of the
state. The name of Wilson signifies
victory this fall, and he will be the ''cy-
clone which shall sweep the Republican
party from place and power'' The
Democracy of Minnesota may well feel
proud of their selection.

There is no reason why the Republican
state central committee should not be Sc
lected by the delegates in the respective judi
clal districts. 1t would doubtless be so in
Minnesota if it were not for the personal use
to which party organizations are put in this
state. Any partisan ought to be honest
enough to work for the ticket he supports,
and his personal relations with Boss so and
SO should not be brought into question. In
the st. Paul GLOBE we find an excellent ed
ltorial on the matter under discussion, and
the remarks will apply with just as much
force to the Republicans as to the Democrats.

THE OLD TRYST.

Like the scent of flower in blooming
When the dew drops on blossom and tree,
memory comes sweetly perfuming
The dead past to me.
And the sounds Of the words that were
spoken
Come floating afar to me now.
Like the leaves that are borne from this
broken
And delicate bough.
AS walk through this forest where quiyers
The siivery bloom from the stars,
And the moon, who hangs waning DER rivers
Wind-rippled in bars.
For their kiss takes me back to the tender
Sweet lips that faded too soon,
Like the gleam of the stars or the splendor
That dies with the moon.

Rochester Record and Unien.
Eugene NJ. Wilson, of Minneapolis, is
the nominee for governor. Mr.. Wilson
stands at the head of the bar of the
northern part Of the state, and no man
possesses higher order of ability than
he. His private and public character is
stainless. He commands the respect of
his political opponents, and is in every
respect man who will make model
governor.
The nomination of Daniel Buck, of
Mankato, for lieutenant-governor, is no
less pleasing. He is leading lawyer of
the state, an able and upright man, and
a fine speaker.

the platform is an able, straightforward

their duty as Democrats, the result in
