Moore and Cockrell End the Fight.
LArER..-Moore and Cockrell issued an
address last night in which they tell the F.
ID. B. A. that after strong effort to elect
one of their own men to the United States
senate they have concluded that the voice
OF the state has been expressed in favor of
John NJ. Palmer, and that in an interview
with that gentleman they received as
slrances that were satisfactory even be-
yond our greatest expectations. Gen. Pal :
nler has earned our admiration for the
manly way in which he has conducted
his fight, and the persistency with which
he has refused to allow any corrupt means
to influence votes in his behalf to secure
his election. Submitting to the
candid judgment of the people our course
in the general assembly, in view of the
fact above stated, we have decided that
to morrow we shall cast our votes for
John M. Palmer, and bring this prolonged
canteSt to close"

People Driven from 1000 Houses by the
Advancing Waters.
NASHVILLE Tenn, March 1.-THE river
fell slightly yesterday, although it is ex-
pected to rise at least foot yet when the
water from the upper river reaches this
city. From all low-lying portions of the
city the cry of distress is heard, and tho
streets are filled with the effects of those
who are able to move The less fortunate
are compe lied to carry their belongings to
higher ground, and there deposit them
without shelter.
Great Damage in the Country.
Fully Loo houses have been vacated on
account OF the rising water. The greater
part of those who have been forced to
move were unable to rent other houses,
and have taken up temporary abode
among friends and neighbors Reports
from surro unding districts show that the
creeks are out of their banks and great
damage has been done by the washing
away of fences, bridges and inundating
the wheat fields.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, March IA petit
Cion of Danville women was filed in the
senate yesterday asking legislation to per-
NIT women to vote at school elections.
Bills introduced For new election law;
providing for the weighing of coal before
screening. bills passed: Transferring the
delinquent land tax fund to a general
revenue fund; to reduce the rates of in
terest on certificates of purchase of real
estate from s to per cent; to give school
districts acting under special charters the
same po~ er 10 !B7y 3axes fur school pur-
poses as those acting under the general
law. Bills in the house: To regulate the
heating of passenger coaches; to require
unemployed male convicts of the peniten-
tiaries not otherwise employed to work on
public roads; to regulate the disposal of
money received from dramshop licenses;
to regulate the business of mercantile
agencies by requiring them to receive
conform to certain regulations; to provide
for the weekly payment of employees.
Palmer Likely to Get There
Indications yesterday were that the SEN
atorial election is likely to be settled
pretty soon and that Palmer will win. A
meeting was held yesterday morning in
Taubeneck's room, at which were present
a number of Streeter's friends Cockrell
refused to go into the room, in spite of
Moore's urging. Cockrell said that the
time for talk was past; that his constitu-
ents were dissatisfied with Streeter's posi-
tion and that he would vote for Streeter
no more The latter made speech in
which he declared he had made no vital
concessions to the Republicans, ard plead
ed for continued support.
Moore Also Recalcitrant.
Moore, although he attended the meet
ing, was practically in line with Cockre;l,
and was not satisfied with the speech. He
also has been urged by his constituents to
vote for Palmer, because of Streeter's
pledges to the Republicans. This makes
two +. NJ. B. A. men who are as good,
apparently, as pledged to vote for Palmer,
and if they vote that way the jig is up,
for they will make the necessary 103 votes
The conference ended without action.
Owing to this startling development the
Republicans refused TO vote, and Moore
and .Cockren also did nottvote, leaving

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VICTORY.

The election of Gen. Palmer is more
than political victory. 1t is triumph
of principle. for which 101 democrats
have calamity stood firm through one of
the longest political strifes ever known
in this county As far back as March
last when the democratic state central
committee met in Chicago, a resolution
was adopted asking for an expression
from county conventions as TO having the
name of Gen. Palmer placed on county
tickets in the fall election. The response
was almost unanimous in favor of such a
move. and at the state democratic con =
vention in June it was adopted
as the sense of the convention
that Gen Palmer be formally voted for
by the people as candidate for United
States Senator This was radical de-
parture in latter day politics but it
seemed to hold the democratic re presente-
yes in the Legislature in answering de-
votion to the expressed will of a majority
of 30, 900 of the voters of Illinois. The
principle thus established was com mended
all over the United States, and other
states will no doubt follow the example
until United States senators shall be
elected by the direct vote of the people
and the caucus auction system done away
with entirely.

THE TALK WITH PALMER.

What tho Democratic Nominee Said to
the T. NJ. Il. a. Men.
IN the interview referred to in the fore
going DR.. Moore said to Gen. Palmer that
he took for granted that Gen. Palmer was
for the free coinage of silver from what
had passed between them in former con-
versation, and also that under some cir
cunstances Gen. Palmer would favor an
income tax. Gen. Palmer answered that
he supposed it would be necessary in the
adl ustment OF the revenue system after
the tariff was properly reduced to look to
incomes and sources of incomes, and par
ticularly with reference to very large in
comes, bnt that ne should never favor an
income tax that operated upon the earn
iugs that men require for their support
He felt that the large incomes it would be
proper to tax.
Few Glittering Generalities
There was some general discussion as to
the tendency of capital to accumulate and
as to the property of the country, and a
good deal Of talk about agricultural de-
pres sion. Gen. Palmer informed the gen
ttemen that he fully sympathized with
them in their view of the facts, and in his
Judgment there was very grave question
DeODla
determined that they would unite and
settle the question of the accumulation of
property by the capitalist. Mr.. Cockrell
stated there were certain other questions
that were peculiar to him. They were
embraced in the platform of the Ocala.
Fla, meeting. He did not expect Gen.
Palmer to subscribe to them, but he
thought he had the right to insist that il
they elected him senator Gen. Palmer
shou d say he would give them an impair
tial and careful examination.
Promised Patient Consideration.
He was told by Gen. Palmer that he
would give them an impartial and careful
consideration; that, in fact, nearly all It's
questions had been subjncts of previous
conversation. and that he thought that
the suggestions were certainly worthy of
consideration, and that he should f. i
called upon, if elected senator, to give
them most patient consideration, as well
IS suggestions from any other quarter or
upon any other questions where they
were generally Endorsed by such a large
body Of people. When the conversation
ended, the gentlemen expressed great
satisfaction with Gen. Palmer's candidacy
and told him they would vote for him,
and further, that they expected to vote
for him as a Democrat.
But Still He Is p Democrat.
Gen Palmer answered them and said
| that he was Democrat was a Demo-
cratic candidate for senator aud had ac-
cepted the platform of the Democratic
party and made the canvass in its name;
and while he believed the principles of the
Democratic party comprehensive enough
to Include almost all the subjects that Of
fered ground of complaint, he would give
his attention to the views of any other
that were worthy of consideration. But
ne must be understood as being Demo-
crat, and the conference broke up with
the understanding that the votes OF these
gentlemen would elect Gen. Palmer and
they have so determined

Details OF the Vote
SPRINGFIELD, March Especial. i
Long before the house was called to or
der today it could have been known that
verybody expected something un-
usual would happen. The galleries
were packed and every seat on the floor
taken Both sides were in particularly
good humor, republicans singing sacred and
other songs. With some of them the most
terrific shouts of applause and clapping
took place all over the house. Were
Going Homo to Die no More" sang by
half delirious republicans; Marching
Through Georgia" came in for a share,
and as the song Proceeded the older
members took it up and swelled the vol
ume OF song. Slretchers were carried in
BEARING THE SICK.
Crowds became dense around the speak,
er's desk, and it required the repeated
commands Of policemen and door keep
ers to make them disperse, that the passage
way could be cleared When the senate
roll was called 25 members answered TO
their names. The roll of the house
showed 10 names. Loud applause greeted
the answering TO the names OF COckrell
and Moore When the name OF Taube-
neck was called he did not answer at
which there was faint applause on
the republican side. At the
close of the senate roll call it was found
that "a members voted for Palmer.
COCKRELLs INDEPENDENCE.
When the name of Cockrcll was reached
he stopped q moment and the speaker
called the representative from Marion.

Widest KIND OF SCENE.
1t was useless to attempt to quiet the
multitude. The speaker pounded the
deck in vain. he shouted himself hosrse,
but all to no purpose. Finally when
some kind of order was restored, the final
name of the roll was rea ched when an
other tumult took place. A row seemed
imminent among some Of the members.

Chicago Citizens" Nomination.

CHICAGO. March lI-Judge Gresham
declined the nomination of the citizens

1t Is understood the nomination was
afterward rendered ex Senator Farwell,
who also refused to allow his name to be
used. The committee met again last night
and nominated Elmer Washburn, who ac-
cepted. He will also probably be the
nominee of the Republicans. A hot fight
