Illinois In Earnest

The fact that the Illinois Democratic
State Convention provided no definite and
original plan to guide the Illinois dele
gates in choosing q candidate for Presi-
dent. indicates u feeling upon their part OF
decisive significance to the national De-
mocrncy. The dcliverance upon the Presi-
dental question was as follows:
I'VE congratulate the Democracy of IllInoi. and the
whole country upon the great triumph achieved by tho
Democrats OF Illinois N the election Of that grand
man, patriot, soldier. and statesman Gen. JonS NJ.
PALMER. to the Senate OF The United States. And
should 1t be deemed exrs lent to come to the great
West for candidate for the Presidency to lead the
Democratic hosts to victory. we commend him to the
favorable consideration Of the National Democratic
Convention and instruct delegates to that Conven
ton to present his md all honorable means
to secure his nomination"
The meaning of such deliberation by q
Convention in which two-thirds OF tho dele
gates had been instructed for Senator
PALMER can be no other than that In the ap-
preaching contest to elect President ILL
nois must be counted as Republican State.
The Democrats there offer u candidate not
In tho conviction that his strength de-
mands tho immediate consideration Of
the National Convention. but only in tho
emergency OF one being sought from
the great plain OF Western Repub-
licanism. In other words. they are not
carried by the local enthusiasm OF personal
relation with popular statesman. to shake
the principle that the candidate Of a hope
full Democracy must first be qualified to
carry the Democratic States.

But the Mugwump seems fated to en-
throne his bugbear after smashing his idol.
Had the Syracuse Mugwump Convention
never been called. the Chicago Convention

and meanwhile tho Mugwump press Is daily

CLEVELAND must be nominated! Down

The Mugwump thus prevents a choice
among "favorite sons" at Chicago. and
forces into their company one who Is not
"favorte son." The Mugwump thus COM
pels tho choice at Chicago to be between
their New York candidate and the "fnvoritc
son" Of New York. Tho Mugwump thus
tars. with his dirty stick labelled Anybody

cratic vote. and to insure maximum DOM
