the individuals who composed it
were mostly republican officeholders
who have been heard Of before, and
frequently at that. Indeed, about
every time they have bobbed up in
the past it was with their hands in the
public treasury in some way. These
individuals compose the republican
machine Of Illinois and. presumably,
are getting ready to enter the prom
ised land. This "panic Of love-"
with its accompanying oratorical
contests, was remarkable for the
reason that there was no occasion
for it; yet, notwithstanding the bar
renness apparent everywhere about
the scene of festivities, there was
much roofing and grunting. and
some vigorous squealing on the part
Of some persistent individuals to get
both feet into the public trough.
This republican machine. by long
series Of tricks, has set up the pins
to force the nomination Of certain
candidates for state officers. and it

one OF the features OF the Democratic
gathering here to-day was that all the
candidates for the vacant United states

ling for their respective selves. There
are several besides those mentioned In
this mornings Washington dispatch to

He has been busy shaking hands with

strings in his own original way.
1t Is question whether Senator
Faulkner or Postmaster General VIII

Marshal Gardens successor. In either
event It is conceded that Captain Wells
has the best show. but as has been OBJ

Acting Marshal PrIddle. OF Hunting

OF resolution endorsing his candidacy
among the state committeeman to-day.
but the ide1 was abandoned as unpo-
lltic.

working hard for endorsements and
getting them. He says he stands n
show. Taylor Vinson, son OF eX-Marshal
Sam" Vinson. is. on the ground max
ing strong fight. He is, according to
his friends, in the way Of being u "loGi-
cal candidate" Ex-Shcrlrf W. c.
Handlan is another logical candidate,
logical because he halls from Ohio
county. But Captain Pannell Garden,
brother OF the late marshal is also here.
He Is also an Ohio county man, and
Mr.. Handlan's claim is badly dlshgured
In consequence.
Edward L. Nash. OF Wood county, is
the latest Richmond in the field. 1t
seems that Postmaster General Wilson
has declined to take any part in the
fight: possibly because II is beneath
the dignity OF q cabinet officer: possibly
because he does not desire to be mixed
in n scramble OF this sort in view
OF future possibilities.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 95.-The imme-
diatc effect Of the attitude of hostility
assumed by the Prussiun government
towards American insurance companies
is a rush Of German policy holders to
the American consuls in Germany for
Information concerning the standing OF
the companies. United States Consul
TIngle, at Brunswick, reports TO the
state department that scarcely a day
passes that he does not receive such In
1uIries, indicating doubt OF the sound
ness OF the American companies that is
simply absurd. The consul says that
outside OF the proscriptivc requirements
made OF tho companies by the Prusslan
government, certain agents OF other
companies In their zeal to secure busi-
ness did not hesitate to picture the
American companies In the blackest
