THE COLLINS CASE AGAIN.

mittee of the Democratic state Crn-
trai Committee.
The executive committee of the demo-
cratic state central committee held an in
teresting meeting at the Sherman house.
Chicago last evening. Todsy's Chicago
Herald in speaking OF various matters
which received the attention of the COM
mittee in which among other things the
election of Gen. Palmer to the senate was
conceded on the first ballot, and of several
contests that were considered. it says:
In the Rock Island case no action was
taken. but everything was left to the Rock
Island democrats themselves. They want
10 fight. Backed up by legal opinion,
they have arrived at the conclusion that
w. G. Collins. the republican who was
elected to ill the seat, had no right to re-
sign an office which he never held and
that Governor Filters call for q special
election to name his successor was illegal
The members of the executive committee
did not seem to care to fight for the dis
trict because they do not need il to assure
General Palmer's victory. and were rather
inclined to call of the Rock Islanders,
who are pushing the contest. But in this
they were not successful. j. W. Potter,
who attended the session on behalf of
John A. Wilson. the democratic csndi
date. said that Collins legal disability is
not the only ground on which the contest
can be based. He claims that the repub-
licsn5ballots which were used on election
day were not printed in accordance with
the provision of the general election law.

FOR Collins ought not to have been count.

Rock Islanders will carry the contest into
the house, notwithstanding that Collins
successor will be elected on Dec 80, aud
will 60 to Springfield armed with certi.
