The RnttIe-Ground

From the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser.
The great battle ground between the
two parties in 1858 was Illinois, where
Douglas bore the democratic and Lincoln
the republican banners. The canvass
then made for United States senator was
before the people. and no other persons
were thought of for that high office. The
legislature was carried by the democrats,
and Douglas was elected. Both, how,
ever. were candidates for president in
1880 Since the death of Douglas, there
has been no great democratic leader in
Illinois. around whom all factions could
rally, until John Nj. Palmer was nomi-
mated for governor last year. He made
a memorable canvass and revived the
party as it has not been since the DAYS of
the Little Giant"
Next year the democrats propose to
formally nominate him in convention as
their candidate for senator on fair and
square tariff reform democratic platform,
and they will force the fighting on that
line. The republicans will have to face
the issue and pit whoever they may agree
upon against him. The fight will be of
most absorbing interest, scarcely less
than of presidential contest. If Gen.
Palmer succeeds, Illinois democrats will
put him forward as their candidate for
president. and Grover Cleveland IN tn at
event is the only man in the United States
who would be able to defeat him for the
nomination. and it is doubtful whether
he could do so. The western democrats
are determined to form closer ranks here
after, and the presidential fight of 1892
will be formally opened in the prairie
state next year.

THE CASE OF MRS. DE Ia HUNT.
Clsrkson Explains a Much Criticised Post
Office appointment.


WASHINGTON CITY, June IA reporter
of the United Press yesterday called the at
tention of Mr. Clarkscn, first assistant post
master general, to the postoffice case at Can
nelton Ind, about which the president has
been crit cised because of the appointment Of
MIR. Zimmerman Many papers have quoted
Mr. Harrison's speech in the senate in 1885
in opposition to the removal of Mrs. De La
Hunt, former postmistress of this office, and
have criticised his action in failing to ap-
point her now, when she was an applicant.
What Garrison Says About 1t.
Mr.. Clarkson said: THE president mad
made memorandum directing the appoint
ment Of Mrs. De La Hunt, supposing the
Office to be presidential, but the appointment
was really of the fourth class, and had al
ready appointed Zimmerman, upon the
recommendation of Congressman Posey,
whose endorsements are usually followed in
the district, knowing nothing of the desire
Of the president for Mrs. De La Huut's reap
pointment, nor of the circumstances of the
case am inclined to think that it will vet
be changed and that Mrs De La Hunt will be
appointed, as it was the intention of the pres
ident to appoint the Union soldiers widow to
the Cannelton pOstOffice "
