eating all proper means to lessen the evil
of iutempeFanee and promote morality.
The subcommittee on the miscellany Of
the committee on resolutions agreed to re-
port that the Nicaragua canal should be
built by American capital and controlled by
the United States. The silver plank in sub
stance fayors the legislative department of
the government adopting such measures AS

equal in debt and tax paying power.
Al midnight the committee had adopted
the planks submitted by the sub committee.
on tariff, silver, elections. and foreign re-

Some OF the Prospects.

The sentiment in the Illinois delegation
is very much mixed and il is hard to say
how the vote of this state will be divided
when the ballot is finally reached.
The Chicago Blaine Club, about 500
strong, is here and formally called upon
Senator Cullom and the Illinois delegation
and presented resolutions declaring the
Illinois state convention instructed the dele
gates to the national convention to support
the candidacy of President Harrison, merely
because it was then believed that Mr.
Blaine's name would not come be.

claiming that certain contingencies have
arisen in Illinois which render ii supreme
necessity to nominate for President the man
who will arouse the most intense enthusi-
asm of every Republican voter, and whose
nomination will make the victory certain :
asserting that reciprocity as an issue will
command in connection with Mr.. Blaine 3
name, the enthusiasm of the entire Republi-
can party, and likewise the support of thou
sands of voters who heretofore have been
arrayed against the party; calling upon the
entire delegation from Illinois to heed the
voice of the people in their almost unani-
nous demand for the nomination of Mr..
Blaine as the Republican candidate in the
coming national contest.
1--WE feel that Blaines nomination will
elect greater number of Congressman in
Illinois, said Hon. George Harmon, one of
the club, indorsing the resolutions This
is a practical question and we feel the con.
ditions are such that we need every vote we
can get in our state
Senator Cullom, in replying, said he re-
cOgnized that every American citizen had
the right to speak and he would take pleas
