BOTH PLEASED.
Democrats and Republicans in
Illinois Legislature Happy.


SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Jan. 26.-The
steering committees of 10th houses
were happy this morning. The Demo
Gratis were cheerful because they had
succeeded in contradicting false
report as to pairs in time to secure the
full Democratic attendance, and the
Republicans were pleased because they
had demonstrated their party confidence
by holding every member of the Joint
assembly on Saturday and Monday-a
feat in organizations which has no pre-
cedent in the past senatorial contests.
The first ballot of the day, and the
twenty-third of the joint assembly, re-
suited as follows: Palmer, 10l;
Oglesby, 100; Streeter, 3;-no
After taking the thirty first ballot,
without any change in the result, the
joint assembly adjourned. This after
noon the f. M. 3. A. members of the
legislature received the following con-
gratulatory dispatche from the Kansas
legislature:
''To James CockrelI and Reform Members
of Illinois Legislature: Hold the fort, for
we are coming. Members Kansas house of
representatives. P. p. Elder, speaker"
A decided sensation was caused in
the struggle for the United States sell
atorship to-day. On the thirty
beneck (F. M. 3. Al voted for
Palmer (Dem). Cheer after cheer
arose from the Democratic side, but it
was soon learned that Taubeneck had
agreed for joke to exchange votes
with Rowand (Democrat). The Demo-
Gratis endeavored to persuade Rowand
not to carry out the trade, but he did,
and when his name was called voted for
Streeter, amid laughter from the Re-
publican side. The farmers candidate,
Mr.. Streeter, will have conference to-
morrow with the three F. nj. B. A. men,
at which will be decided the question
Of dropping Streeter and taking up
another candidate who might be more
acceptable to other parties. The
farmers would not say what other man
they had in mind. In an interview to-
| night, Messrs. Moore and Cockrell
both said fatty they will not at any
time support Gen. Palmer. Cockrell
ing with chairman Jones, OF the
Republican state central COM
mittee, and senator Fuller OF the
Republican steering committee.
He was positively Uniformed the
| Republicans would not come over to
Streeter. Cockrell frankly told the
Republicans the +. Nj. b. A. men would
never vote for Palmer if the Republic
ans would join them in the election of
farmer candidate acceptable to both.
The Republicans finally held out hopes
to Cockrell that perhaps ultimately
some compromise candidate might be
found who would receive the solid Re-
s publican and f. Nj. b. A. vote.
A memorial was to-day laid before
both houses of the Illinois state leglsla-
tere from the auti-lottery league of Lou
isiana, citing recent happenings in
North Dakota. and saying the only GER
tain safeguard for states against the lot
terry evil is constitutional amendment.
In the senate the memorial was referred
to the committee on federal relations,
and it is understood that joint resolu'
ton will soon be reported, requesting
the Illinois senators and representatives
in congress to vote for Submission to
the various states of an anti-lottery
amendment to the federal constitution.
