Tn. Senatorial Convention.

The democratic convention of the
Twenty first senatorial district meets at
Cambridge tomorrow 10 nominate q cam
dnste or candidates for representative
and also state senator. The deep-
rooted and spreading opposition to the
republican nominees in their own party
should have the effect of making tomor>
rows convention proceed more cautious
ly and with greater deliberstion than
usual. A judicious nomination for state
senator would serve to draw hundreds of
republican votes from candidate who
is confessedIy incompetent to represent
the district at Springfield in the state
senate. 1t would be more credit to the
party to defeat such man than it possi-
bly, could be to elect him, and if thesin-
telIigent and thinking republicans at this
time set the stamp of disspproval on such
an inexcusable mistake as that committed
by the late convention, it is not likely
that the party will again make such an
egregious blunder.
The nomination of G. W. Collins was
equally inJudicious and unsatisfactory.
and the present indications are that he
will never go to Springfield as member
of the general assembly. While previous
to his nomination the ARGUS favored the
selection of two democratic candidates,
the situation has been made manifestly
more favorable to the democrats on &C
count of his candidacy. The policy of
nominating at least two candidates for
representative in each senatorial district,
has been generally adopted by the de-
mocracy of the state, and the ARGUS be-
lieves this plan should be followed by
the convention at Cambridge tomorrow.
hessrs. G. W. Vinton. of Moline,
and j. A. Wilson. of Rural. are
looking for the nomination of
minority representative, and as Henry
county comedies the candidate to Rock
Island, the honor lies between these two
gentlemen. Both have their friends on
the delegation, and if the old plan of
nominating only one candidate is adhered
TO it may be that Henry county will be
called upon to express preference in a
matter that really belongs to this county.
In view of the obvious duty of the con-
vention, however. the ARGUS can see no
cause for contention between the oppos>
ing forces, as the situation plainly re-
quires the nomination of two candidates.

The south Doesn't Need

A. V. Dockery late editor of the South
,osst PrOtectionist OF Carthage, s. c.,
writes as follows to the Washington Post
in regard TO the Lodge election bill:
Congressman Ewart was quite right in
denouncing the Lodge election bill and
equally right in opposing 1t as caucus
measure, and should he have the back
bone TO oppose it as party measure be
will again be right, and merit and receive
reward. | say this as republican. who
lives in the sO,cslled black belt. My
county has 5000 white voters to 700
black, and in politics it is about evenly
divided. Eections-and | have had
much eXperience-are fair, but where
courage u.s. they are bound to be so. and
both parties have 1t here Every
reconstruction measure has been a
failure, more or less, in so far as
it attempts artiiclally to boost
the negro above the Caucasian. The
following up of these measures upon
measures but serves TO make an Ireland
of the fairsst part of this nation. 1t does
not desire to be an Ireland; it wants rest,
to be let alone.
Pass your silver bills, gold bills, tariff
bills. pension bills-the south is uncon-
cerned, the masses caring nothing. But
let her alone without exasperating and
useless, and what will prove bitterly
fruitless measures like this or any other
force bill. Give her chance TO develop
her resources, and she will be loyal to the
nation. You cannot force loyalty, but
she is loyal now. The greater hearts of
the north. of whatever party or condition
know this, and as a republican who never
faltered and born a southerner | affirm it.
The negro can take care of himself, and
he is doing it. He loves the south, he
loves his people, he loves the whites
here-even democrats, far more intense
ly than he does any northern man, and
l speak advisedly-fsr more intensely
than any northern man loves him. He
knows that our administrations admins
ter few of the crumbs of office to the ne.
groes; he is also fully aware that that
bold statesman, Mr. Cleveland-who, by
the way, promptly turned me out or Of
flee gave more such to real negroes than
had been done before or since. Force
bills retard everything south, and the
prosperity of the negro race more than
anything else. Sentimentality, whether
1t refers to the so called negro question,
civil service hypocrisy or gushing anti
presidential nomination pledges, deserves.

honest men and predestined damnation
