REV MARTIN DUDLEY.

Rev Martin Dudley died in Lowell, Mass, 22d, at the home of his daughter, Mrs c. II. Wilcox, at the age of 7S years. Mir Dudley was born in Guilford, Conn.,, and graduated from Yale college in 1859, in the same class with Senator Dawes. He studied theology at Yale and East Windsor seminaries. The years imme- ditely after this were spent in teaching and in seeking health by roughing it in the West. In 1851, he settled in Easton, Conn.,, as pastor of the Congregational church. In this, his only pastorate, he remained for nearly 30 years. For the last eight years, he has lived in Lowell, preaching occasionally. In 1852, he married Miss Sarah Rowland of Windsor, Conn.,, who died in 1880. Two sons and a daughter survive, c. R. Dudley, libra rian of the Mercantile library in Denver, k. M. Dudley in business in St. Paul and Mrs Wilcox. MT Dudley's father was farmer in the old town of Guilford and to the end of his life MT Dudley re- tained his love for the farm and garden. While pastor at Easton, he took lead- ing part, not only in the church, but in educational affairs and exerted a deep influence. His influence has been great in the Pawtucket church, of which he was member. Vigorous in his intellect and strong in his convictions, his name is held in high honor by his neighbors and friends.

ILLINOIS GOES INSTRUCTED.

Cullom's State Delegation Will Vote Tor
Harrfson's Nomination.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May 6.-The Re-
publican State Convention reassembled at 9
o'clock this morning and another day OF e4-
citement was apparent from the very begin
ming. The action of the committee to select
delegates at large dissatisfied the Young
Republican League, as we'll as the colored
gentlemen who assumed to represent their
race on the floor of the convention, and 1t
appeared thst the era of good feeling had
passed. The committee to select delegates
at-large reported the following delegates:
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, Ex-Governor
Richard G. Oglesby, Hon. Joseph j. Can
non, DR.. Joseph Robbins James H. Gil
bert, Samuel B. Raymond, George B. Swift
and Miles Keho.
Governor Fifer received GAL votes, on the
first ballot for denomination, as against a
total of 294 opposed to him, and he was de-
clared the nominee of the convention.
The rest of the ticket was easily elected. The
platform Endorses Harrison and instructs
for him; Cullom is eulogized Blaine's ad-
ministration of the State Department is
also commended. and the party pledges
itself to repeal the compulsory State educa-
tion law.
The Republicans of Illinois took j. G. B.
at his word. In a convention where admi-
ration and devotion for the statesman from
Maine were the ruling passions, where
every mention of Blaine was the signal for
wild scenes of enthusiasm, a resolution to
instruct the Illinois delegation to vote for
the nomination of James G. Blaine at the
National Convention was defeated by vote
of over 2 to 1.
