"A principle which our organizations fully and
earnestly indorse. BY plurality Of 80 90 the
electors OF Illinois have shown the preference
for this candidate john NJ Palmer.
Becoming satisfied that we Cannot elect q

have called on Sir. Palmer in the interest OF
our people 10 ascertain what assurances aud
hopes he would give us In regard 10 tis future
oencial action affecting such lestslatl as our
people demand This interview. we must say,
was satisfactory even beyond our expecta-
tons

pose TO go 10 hell 10y way OF The United States
senate While be does not fully represent us.

man
While this has been prolonged contest We
feel that the effect has been goOd, taai IL has
forced the politicians 10 ADMIT that there Is
something wrong. And We believe that the ST.
teation OF the masses has becn drawn TO the
matter and the result 70 follow must be
good aud beneficial Prom what We have
seen here VIC are more firmly convinced than
ever that the future prosperity and hap
piness OF this country dcpond on the sue
cess and growth OF an independent party. Horo
dependent political movement by the toi,ina
millions OF the country is the only hope OF the
people.
Submitting 20 the candid Judgment ct the
people our course In this general assembly.
and in view OF the facts as above stated. We
will tomorrow cast our votes for John NJ
Palmer and bring this prolonged contest 10 q

H II. MOORE"
The three Farmers Mutual Benef;
association men called on Gen Palmer
and he gave them his views as to what
he would advocate in case OF his eiec-
ton. These are embraced in free coin
age. government regulation of trans
portation, reduction OF the tariff and
grcenbacks as the currency. They had
a long chat. Ia which Gen Palmer and
Cockrell and Moore were apparently
agreed upon all points at issue before il
was determined 10 issue the address
announcing that two at the big three"
would vote for Palmer.
