| Macvcagh Nominated.

| Cable In the PreIiminaries.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June 97-It Is about
rs certain as anything in politics can be
than MacVeagh will bc nominated for
senator by the Democratic state conven-
ton today. Ben Cable. who has led the
opposition. and stoutly opposed the nom
ination of anybody-and that of Mac
Veagh in particulnr-has practically given
| up the fight and will throw his strength
to MacVea0h. Cable controls. pract ically,
all the delegations from the southern part
of the state and these with Cook cotnty's
big delegation voting for MacVeaaAh un-
der the unit rule will bc enough to secure
him the necessary majority.
| Cable is not expected To declare himself
openly. and personally declares that he
does not know wha: he will do. Ii is also
about certain that Henry Raab will nc
cspt the nomination for superintendent of
public instruction. No name is mea-
Ii. L. t.aN -
Peter kiolbassa, of Chicago, and nobody
seems to know anything about him or his
wishes In the matter.
When asked If he had any doubts as to
whether any nomination would be made
Hopkins hesitated n moment and then re-
piled with much emphasis: ''MacNeagh
will be nominated for senator. / say that
without any qualification whatever. There
will be nomination and MacEeagh will
get Il. I guess that is specific enough"
The Cook County Marching club, of Chi
cngo, $50 strong, has arrived. After a short
parade through the streets, headed by the
Pullman band, the club halted in front of
the Leland hotel where cheers were given
for Mayor Hopkins, of Chicago. The
mayor then placed himself at the head of
the column, which marched to the cxecu-
tive mansion and serenaded Governor Alt
Helu, who DOweO ana tuankeu tne CluD IOr
the honor, but made no attempt to deliver
a speech.
II is almost impossible to give any accu-
rate forecast Of the platform. but it is Ca
sonably certain that it will avoid con-,
initial ON the silver question, and give IA
modified indorsemens of the national ad
n,iaistration. Beyond these two things
othing appears to be settled. Franklin
NlacVeagh. who came to the city with the
Cook County Marching club, is sanguine
Of his success.
General Black is no less confident of sue
cess than before the union of Gable and
the MacVeagh interests. He declares
that Cable cannot swing enough strength
to elect MacVeagh and relies strongly on
the Morrison element refusing 10 rs
sist the Chicago man.
Ben Cable at ~ o'clock last night an
nounced that he was out for McVeagh
and would make every effort to nominate
him. This in the minds of the Cook coun
ty men assures the nomination Of the Chi.
cago man. His opponents. however, deny
this with emphasis. A strong effort is be.
ing made to consolidate on Hunter OF
Black against McVea9b.
