ILLINOIS DEMOCRACY.
Silver Delegates to the State Convention
Are in an Overwhelming Majority.

Peoria, ILL.,. June 21.-It is highly prob
able that the Illinois state Democratic
committee will complete its work of nam
ing state ticket and delegates at large
to the national convention in one day. All
the plans have been arranged with this
end i'll view, and w. III. Heinrichsen,
chairman of the state central committee,
said today that the free silver men had
decided to this and that they had the
strength to carry their point. He sAys
that 954 of the 1869 delegates are instruct
ed for free silver, and that they will adopt
a free silver platform. AS yet there has
been no one talked of for governor but
John L. Altgeld. 1t is conceded by
every one that he will be the head of the
ticket.
Governor Altgcld arrived this evening
from Springfield. He found a large num-
Der of free silver Democrats awaiting
him. An informal conference was held
in the governors rooms in which the pro-
gram for Tuesdays state convention was
discussed and reports were made to the
governor of what had been done. All
were agreed that one day would be enough
to transact all business that would come
up before the convention. No one here
believes the gold standard men in the par
t. will bolt the convention.

Hugh Sprotson. Jr.. the leading figure

and that his financial affairs had been
left in Il most unsatisfactory condition,
caused run on the bank and the panic
became so great that people sold British

store public confidence the government
summoned the legislature. which, after
discussing the matter behind closed
doors, agreed to sanction n government
guarantee of all bills of exchange drawn
or accepted by the British Guiana bank,

liabilities are said to have been over

man. He made speech warmly
eulogizing the course of the silver men
who walked out of the St. Louis con-
vention. The platform was adopted
unanimously. although one of the dele
gates wanted to insert Il resolution IN
structing for Bland.
The convention took no action on the
suggestion, preferring to leave delegates
free to act as they saw fit
The following is the financial plank:
"As question overshadowing all
others which today engages the thoughts
and affects the welfare of the people OF
the United States we are in favor OF
restoration of silver as money as it eX-
listed prior to its covert decentralization
in 1873. For this purpose we demand
that the minis of the United States be
opened to the free coinage of silver as
well as gold at the ratio of IL to l with
out awaiting the action of other nations.
"We declare it our belief that the de-
monetizatiOn of silver is the prime cause
of its depreciation and also of the stag
nation that exists in all branches of in
dustry and trade throughout the coun-
try, and that permanent prosperity can
be restored only by restoration of silver
to its proper place of money equal with
gold. We believe the free coinage of
silver will not only revive the dropping
industries of the country, but the natural
and inevitable result of free coinage.
will be to enlarge and extend the foreign
commerce of the country, particularly
with nations having a like system of
currency as our own.
1--WE believe that the use of both gold
and silver as money will put it beyond
the power of any combination of capital
lists, whether at home or abroad, to so
concentrate money as to be able to raise
or depress it at will. condition not only
possible, but probable if gold is the only
money by which values are measured"
The platform also declares for Il tariff
for revenue only and opposes assurances
of bonds in time Of peace.

called for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the national Democratic conven-
ton. The state convention will be held
in this city next Wednesday.
Senator David b. Hill is not expected
here until Tuesday morning, and the
meeting of the committee of the state
will not be held until Tuesday night. The
refusal of w. c. Whitney to accept a
place upon the ticket as delegate at
large has led to complication and sew
eral candidates have sprung up. A line
of policy, it is said has been marked out
to placate the state Democracy so that
there will be united delegation to the
national convention. This led to the pro-
posal of one name from that organization
if Mr.. Whitney still refuses to accept.
EX-Secretary Charles A. Fairchild is

tirmatiOn of the rumor can be obtained

EX-GOVERNOR CAMPBELL OF

1t Would Be Inferred From His Remarks
That He is for Free Silver-Admon-

the Chicago Convention.

Washington, June 20.-EXGovcrnor
James e. Campbell of Ohio delivered an
address tonight that excited great inter-
est among Democrats in Washington. The
occasion was the annual assembly of the
Interstate Democratic association at a
nearby river resort, which was attended
by large number of Democratic office
holders and such senators and representa-
tives of that party as remain in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Campbell's speech was character

features of his speech wcre first his earn

est admonition to the Democrats not to
bolt the Chicago convention; and second
his disclosure of his views on the money
question.
Exhibiting himself in a conservative po-
sition in this respect, Mr. Campbell began
with an admohition to officeholders never
to lose their party utilization nor tn allow
themselves to be corrupted and cmascu-
lated by the somewhat enervating atmos-
phere of Washington. Every man who
loved his country must be a party man.
Turning to the motto of the associa-
ton, "The Democratic party: its plat
form and its candidates-its platform,
whatever it is: its candidates, whoever
they may be-" Mr.. Campbell made it the
text of half an hours most earnest APP
peal to the Democracy to avoid split or
bolt at Chicago. He said that never be-
fore had the party faced crisis when
the ringing call of that motto sounded
so imperatively as today. He recalled
the blunder of 1860 when the Demo
cratic party, with two-thirds of the en-
tire vote of the country, had split upon
the rock of territorial extension of
slavery. There had been a bolt and the
Democratic party, wounded nigh unto
death, had wandered for twenty-four
years in the wilderness of defeat and
disgrace.
He said: as the lesson worth learn
ing? If so. apply it now. Another
crisis confronts the Democracy. They
are discordant and belligerent-almost
hopelessly divided, apparently-ovcr an
economic question that must, in the ma
ture of things. be necessarily settled i'll
the near future The quadrennial ma
tonal convention draws near and its
coming is fraught with the most mo-
mentous possibilities. The conservatism
of the majority and the fidelity of the
minority can alone prevent rupture,
more or less open, and avert a disaster
| beyond reparation.
| IF a singing and lasting defeat would
| be avoided in November, the majority at
Chicago must concede and conciliate,
while the minority must yield and con-
cur. If sagacious, harmonious and
brotherly counsel shall not prevail, we
go to inevitable defeat-and to Il defeat
| like that of 1S60-the result of our own
stubborn and recalcitrant conduct. Let
us pray that wisdom, prudence and
patriotism may govern the Democratic
hosts when they assemble on the 18th day
, of July"
Mr.. Campbell quoted Chauncey n.
Blacks declaration that the Democratic
party must not be disrupted on he silver
! question; that it involved no constitu-
! tional principle, and was a matter of
mere economy and expediency, about
which Democrats might differ with per-
feet freedom. That, said, Mr. Campbell,
expressed the sentiment of every Demo
crat who loved his party and believed
it to be of more consequence to the coun-
try, to humanity and to postecity than
any mans opinion or any mans ambi-
ton.
Mr.. Campbell closed his speech with a
eulogy upon the Democratic party in the
course of which he made this reference
to the party's policy as to the money
question:
1T will uphold both the metals which
the constitution prescribes for coinage,
and it is the only party which can do so
with safety to business, benefit, to the
laborcr and producer and honor to the
country"
