ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS

Illinois Democrats will hold their state
convention at Peoria June 23d. The ratio
of representation therein will be one dele
gate for each 400 votes cast for Cleveland
and Stevenson in 1892 and one additional
delegate for each fraction of 200 votes or
more. This provides for convention of
1869 delegates, Cook county's quota being
362.
These matters were determined at a
meeting of the state central committee in
this city yesterday. The question of loca-
ton was not settled until Peoria and
Springfield had indulged in a spirited but
gocd-natured contest for the honor of en-
Pertaining the convention. Both cities
presented strong claims, but the decision
of the committee was in favor of Peoria by
a two-thirds majority. The time for hold
ing the convention and the ratio of repre-
sentation we're agreed to without division,
the free silver managers at the last mo-
ment abandoning their plan to adopt the
vote cast for state treasurer in 1894 as the
basis of apportionment.
The committee is to be commended for
the fairness and justice displayed in pre-
pairing the program for the anteconvention
campaign. More than two months notice is
given of the meeting which will nominate a
state ticket and elect delegates to the ma
tional convention. This will afford ample
time for the democrats in every county 70

come before the convention before the ex-

mally determined upon.
There is one thing in this connection
which should receive the attention of the
state committee. A number of counties
have chosen delegates to the state conven-
ton in advance of the issuing of the call.
The election of these delegates was clearly
illegal, and they may be denied seats in

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-An action
was commenced today that will test the
law changing the terms of county ofiiciats
from two to four years. julius Kahn has
asked for restraining order to prevent
the local board of election commissioners
from spending municipal funds for the
purpose of electing city and county officials
this year. Kahn alleges that the city and
county of San Francisco comes within the
provisions of the law of 1898 which pro-
vides that county officers shall be elected
every four years. He says the election
commissioners have passed resolution
directing the purchase of a large quantity
of ballot paper for an election in Novem-
ber. This election, he thinks, will be con-
trary to law and will entail useless ex-
penditure of public funds.

Performed Them
A Record Of Which Los Angeles May Justly

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


On Monday the very dangerous opera
ton of abdominal section" was per-
formed on Mrs. Kate Brink of San Ber-
nardino, at the Los Angeles Sanitarium.
Until the past ten years, only about
five patients in q hundred recovered
after this operation. In this case there
was no possible chance for the patient
to live many months in her terrible con-
dition and she cheerfully consented to
the inevitable.
The operation lasted two hours, and
was a triumph of modern surgical skill.
The large arteries were ligated securely
and the entire operation was attended
with only n trfling loss of blood. 1t was
the first time 1 had ever gazed into the
abdomen of a living person and 1t made
a lasting impression on me. The opera
ton was done according to the modern
antiseptic rules, and / can easily see
why antisepsis is the great keystone to
successful surgery. watched every de-
tail of this wonderful operation, till the
great rent in the abdomen was closed
and the patient carried unconscious
back to her bed.
CANCER OF THE BREAST.
The following day 1 attended an ope-
ration for the removal of a large can
cerous tumor from the left breast of a
prominent Los Angeles lady, who pre-
ferred not to have her name mentioned.
AS in the previous operation, every
thing was done antiseptically, and a
cancer weighing three and one-half
pounds was skillfully removed. The
disease had gone so far that few
months more would have made the case
hopeless.
Surgery saved this life, too. After the
operation you would hardly believe that
the big tumor came from this patient.
as only a stitched line was left across
the breast.
TAPPING THE SKULL.
Wednesday 1 was invited to attend
an operation for abscess in the mastoit
cells. This patient was Captain w. w.
Broadway, manager of Severel large
mines near Calico, Cal, owned and ope-
rated by an English syndicate.
Captain Thomas had contracted a Sc
we're form of ear trouble from the alkili
dust of the desert, and 1t extended into
the mastoid cells of the skull just be-
hind the ear An abscess had formed in
these cells and, having no means of es-
cape, the condition of the captain be-
came very serious. This operation was
most delicate, as the skull had to be
drilled till the matter was reached. L
watched the process carefully, and when
the instrument reached the seat of the
trouble a big jet of pus Squirted across
the room with much force.
1t struck me that had rather been an
humble scribe than a surgeon at such
times. 1t was certainly a very skillfull
opera tfon, and like the others, was per-
formed under strict antiseptic precau-
tion.

RateS elected against whose credentials no
1rregularity can be urged.
Although the party in this state is
sharply divided on the financial issue, no
harm should result from the controversy if
both sides be given full and fair oppor-
tunity for expressing their preferences in
the matter of selecting and instructing
the delegates who will represent the var-
GUS counties in the state convention. In
every county ample notice should be given
OF the date and place of holding the local
convention, and the primaries should be
held as far as practicable under the Craw-
ford primary election law.
The democrats of Cook county who stand
for honest money and who believe they
constitute an overwhelming majority of
the party in this county are gratitied that
the state committee, though dominated by
free silver men, has shown disposition to
afford opportunity for fair expression on
the money question. Let the Cook county
committee follow the example of the state
committee and there will be no just cause
for complaint. There must be no attempt
to elect the delegates to Peoria from this
county by machine methods.
There will be no contest in Cook county
over the selection of candidates for state
offices. 1t is conceded that Governor Alt
geld or any other member of the present
Democratic state administration who de-
sires denomination can have it by ac-
clamation. The only issue to be fought
out among Chicago Democrats is the ques-
ton of indorsing the proposition for free
and unlimited coinage at ratio of 16 to
with gold.
To the end that this question may be
fairly and definitely determined, according
to the will of an unquestioned majority of
the democratic voters of Chicago, the coun-
ty committee should order the primaries
for the election of delegates to Peoria to
be held under the primary election law. At
least thirty days notice of the primaries
should be given and the officers appointed
to serve as judges and clerks of election
must be men of good repute and undoubt-
ed integrity. BY proceeding in this way
the committee will show itself worthy of
public confidence and support. Any sug-
gestion that the delegates be selected by
ward meetings or at free-for-all primaries
held without notice will not be tolerated.
The true democracy of Cook county
must be represented at the Peoria conven-
tion.-Chicago Chronicle.
