Cleveland Men win Bitterly Oppose the
Senator AT Spring field.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 25.-Delegates
to the democratic state convention are
already In the city In large numbers. It
is generally conceded tonight that John
P. Altgeld, of Chicago, will be nominated
on the first ballot, as his only actual COM
petitor, John G. Black, ex-commissioner of
pensions, does not seem to be making any
appreciable Roadway. Joseph B. Hill Of
Murphysboro, Trainer of most of the
mining legislation of the last assembly,
is believed to be certain of the nominal
tion for lieutenant governor, although
Eddy, of Mclean. and Coppinger, of
Madison. are also In the race.
For state treasurer, Rufus A. Ramsay,
of Clinton, seems to be far In the lead,
BENZ. Warren, Jr., of Peoria, not having
seriously entered the race. J B. Brinton,
of Tuscalo, and ex-senator David Gere, of
Macoupin, are active candidates for state
auditor, and for attorney general, Morey,
of lroquois, Masters, of Fullerton, and
Maloney. of Lasalle, are candidates,
with the last named apparently in the
lead. There is every indication of lively
contest over the presidential question

ever to the delegates to the national
convention. Congressman Forman,
Fithian, Wike and Williams are under
stood to be in favor of the convention
declaring unequivocally for Grover
| Cleveland, and no endorsement whatever
being given Palmer and his candidacy.
There seems little doubt of the spirit of
| the delegates to give Palmer a cordial en-
dorsement, the only question being
whether the delegates shall be instructed
to vote for him in the national conN ention.
Palmer himself has distinctly stated
that he would be satisfied with a
general endorsement, the delegates being
merely instructed to vote as a unit at the
Chicago convention for whoever they
may deem the most available candidate.
Many of his friends, however, refuse to be
satisfied with anything less than
an instructed Palmer delegation.
while the opposing faction will
even combat a complimentary resolution
and insist on expunging everything but a
direct and positive endorsement of Grover
Cleveland Although the convention does
not meet until Wednesday, the members
of the coming committee on resolutions
are at work tonight on the platform.

Tor many a long day Sylvia lay III,
dangerously i'll As the sick girl lay in
her bed, and heard the windows rattle be-
hind her curtains, she fancicd that the
carriages rolling past were bearing An
ME and George 10 their wedding. This
fancy brought on paroxysms Of nervous
weeping, which puzzled her mother and
the doctor.
Finally, her youth and good constitution

Of her mother and Dora. who by this time
had learned the sacrifice that had been
made for her, Sylvia rose from her sick
bed but the girl was weary Of her life.
Sometimes she talked Of travelling. Of
taking some situation; at other times she
spoke of entering a sistcIhood. All her
friends watched her tenderly. more anX-
iOus now than when her allnent mao Deen
merely physical. Suddenly she acknow-
lodged her secret to her mother. She
loved the elder Florence; she had never
dared to say so, but it was he whom she
always loved, and not his brother. Every
body was astonished at this Florence
more than anyone else; bat the young
girl was so pale and pretty, she looked at
him with such tender eyes, that II was
not long before the good fellow wor'shilped
the very ground on which she stood.
Perhaps this affection had only lain dor
nant in the dim reees ses of his heart.
And now, dear reader, you understand
why, on the evening of her wedding-day,
Mrs. Florence, in her gIistening white
raiment, looked forth with smile Of tri-
umph at the window where for the last
ten years she had passed so many sad and
lonely hours.
That naughty, contemptuous smile was
evidently bestowed on her former SELF
whom she fancied she could see opposite,
through the darkness of the night and of
the past.
