PALMER LOYAL TO CLEVELAND

PALMER LOYAL TO CLEVELAND.
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, is
quoted by correspondent Of the
New York World as saying: II
would rather have the credit of
helping to carry Illinois for Grover
Cleveland than to be President my
self. l have never asked our dele
gates to instruct for me, and II any
one sh 1uld ask mo what the nation
al convention is going to DO should
reply that | do not care. The res
olutions adopted ut our convention
are very complimentary and of
course afford me no little graLific =
tion appreciate the Endorsement,
but | have not asked it. The rcso
lutions are framed with q very hap
py choice Of language, for while in
dorsing me they did not lose sight
of Cleveland. While in effect they
recommend my nomination, il the
party goes West for a candidate,
they leave it clear for MS t. believe
what we all think, and that is tina;
/ Cleveland is the choice of the dem
ocrats ofIllinoIs." In other words,
Senator Palmer is only his own Sc
cond choice as regards Mr.. Cley
land, and evidently regards the con.
vention's Endorsement as useful ia
him only in the event OF Mr.. Clcvo-
lands failure to receive the nomi.
nation. Asked "Who is the right
man Z" he replied, "Grover Cleve-
land " The Senator's only ambi.
ton, no declares, is to make Hi
nois democratic, and there seems
good reason to expect that, guided
| by him. the Illinois delegation will
cast its votes for Mr.. Cleveland.

Hon. w. l.. WILSON FOR VICE
PREsIDENT.-Hon. w. l.. Wilson
is one OF the brainiest men in Con-
gross. He IS also very popular with
the members, likewise IS he we'll
known and highly spoken of In al
most every State in the Union.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and from FLORIDA to Maine, he is
favorably known. There is not a
prominent meeting, celebration or
banquet where the literary exercis
es partake of the great political is
sues of the day, that Mr.. Wilson is
not in demand.
Why, then, should not the twelve
West Virginia delegates to the Chi
cago convention cast their votes
first, last and all the time for w .
l.. Wilson for second place on the
Democratic ticket ? Cleveland and
Wilson, Palmer and Wilson, Rus
sell and Wilson, or any other name
for the head of the ticket with Mr..
Wilson as his running mate would
be strong combination. 1t would
make West Virginia doubly sure in
the Democratic olumn.-Wheeling

but he did not have to go about the
country with badge on the lapel
of his coat inscribed 81 am q dem

well known for that. At this indi-
rect hit at Senator Hill there was q
tremendous uproar on the floor Of
the House, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis uniting in applause, while
some of the ayowed friends of the
New York Senator looked rather
uncomfortable. Continuing, he
said it had bsen charged that be was
warped by his preference for cei :

MED that this preference had any

lines whose patriotism knows no

plause that followed this reference
to Mr. Cleveland was loud and
long, and extended from the floor
to the galleries.

The RUSSIAN FAMINE MAY
PROVE A BLEssING.-An English
newspaper correspondent who has
been travelling in the distressed
provinces of Russia makes the in
teresting statement that the famine
after all, may prove blessing in
disguise. 1t is regarded, he says,
las one of those calamities that are
inevitably succeeded by reforms.
There can be no doubt that The
distress has been the means of IL
Illustrating in many striking ways
the rottenness OF the whole system
Of government. An immense
amount of corruption has been ex-
posed and is being checked, and
the governing classes have been
stirred up to a sense of their duty
toward the destitute peasantry.
These are important results, and
they are regarded by many as the
silver lining of the dark cloud
which now hangs over the Russian
empire" There seems TO be no
doubt that the Cars government,
whatever its shortcomings, has dis.
played great energy in its efforts 10
relieve distress and correct abuses,
but it is embarrassed not only by
the inherent defects of 'pattrnal.
ISM but by the apathy and i'm
providence of the peasantry, who
have so long been dependent upon
local functionaries and the rura
nobility that in times Of emergency
they cannot be induced TO exert
themselves or take thought for the
future.
