Governor Altgeld and the present
Democratic administration in the State,
he was accorded no mercy and no SYM
pathy.
The new members appointed to-day
We're: A. w. Barker, F. w. Harill,
Alex J. Jones, Carter H. Harrison and
y. S. Trule.
The committee listened to reports
from the various districts, and these
reports, according to Mr.. Henrichsen,
indicate a majority for William Bryan
Of more than 10000 outside of Cook
County. The meeting was addressed
ty Marion c. Bradford and Major
Pace.
Governor Altgeld appeared before the
committee, but stayed only long enough
to inform the campaign managers in
positive terms that the regular Demo-
Gratis had only to keep their grip on
the State to make sure of Bryan get
ting it.
Chairman Henrichsen was enthusi-
astic over the outlook, saying: No
matter what combination is made, Bry-
an will get more than half the votes
cast in Illinois in November It is
is setting in for free silver in this State.
/ admit we will lose a few Democratic
votes, but in a third of the counties the
detection will not be great Governor
Altgeld's popularity is greatest among
the class that is demanding free silver,
and Bryan is strong in Central and
Southern Illinois. Two of the bankers
in my own county of Morgan are Re-
publicans, but for free silver. The
richest man in Sangamon County, Ben
Caldwell President of the Farmers
Bank at Springfield, is an enthusiastic
silver man and the Democratic nOmi-
nee for Congress-
At the afternoon session the cam
paign assessments were fixed, and the
