republicans regarding the elections this

ing over the country and wearing face
long enough to eat oats out OF churn.
Cannon, in the Fifteenth district, IS IN
dreadfully bad way and there is very
great probability that he will be defeated,
mouth and all. In the Eighteenth dis
trict things are as bad as can be for the
republican candidate Good public
speakers are being employed to scsmper
over the country and attend TO the doubt
full and desperate districts. Andrew
Ashton, in the Sixth district, is runs
ming Mr.. Hit. the republican, so hard.
that terrifying speakers are wanted and
wanted badly. Boss Reed will 60 there
and give what hope and encouragement
he can Reed will also 60 to Cannon's
district to revive the dropping spirits, but
Ii looks like hopeless case, as Col.
Busey. the democratic candidate there, is
away ahead. The Chicago Herald says:
The same condition OF affairs exists
in MIR, Gest's district where Ben Cable is
proving himself TO be an accomplished
tmixeS Gest is worse off than either

In a little while all the central and south>
ern portions of the state will be up in
arms. and democracy has everything to
be thankful for. Oglesby is making poor
Roadway among the farmers singing his
high taxation songs, and yet "UnGle

attention, and his words looked upon as
gospel truth. His glory has departed.
