CURRENT COMMENT.
ILLINOIS FAVORITE SON.
Providence Journal.

providence Journal.
No one need doubt who is the favorite
son of tine Illinois Democrats this year.
Gov. AItgeld was nominated yesterday
by acclamabioh. Such an act as this is a
significant 'indioati Of the temper of
the party in that region. Altgeld stands
for pretty nearly every thing that Is de-
noralizing and dangerous in American
political life.
PLATT STRONGER THAN EVER.
New York Post.
That Platt has come back from the St.
Louis convention stronger than when
he weng is made manifest i'll Variety
of ways, but chiefly by the tremendous
exertion5 of the Tribune to restrain him.
II Platt were actually down as the Tri-
bune vooiterously affirms, much smaller
outlay of strength and wind power
would be needed to keep him within
bounds. Tho fact is that although. he
did not get his candidate nominated at
st. Louis he got his platform adopted,
which is considered of more importance
by most members of the patrty. q
TOO LATE.

ADVICE TO SILVER REPUBLICANS
Detroit Iibune.)
Silver Republicans don't think for a
moment of abandoning your party. Don't
notice the talk about bulting. Instead
take possession of your party organiza-
ton, as your numbers give you the right
to do, and make it say, as your organ,
just what yoH want it to say. Don't let
the fight go by default. No serious
harm has been done at st. Louis if only
you are awake at last to the danger thnt
threatens. The party has boon stolen
from you when you were not looking
Gn afte: it and recover it. Organize at
once. Be diligent in pursuit in order
that the robbers may not escape with the

Havana, N. Y., and was born August g, 1S43. His ancestors were New England people. Aftee secur- ing an academical education he re- moved to Elmira. where he soon be- came prominent politician.
 In 1870 he became a member of the assembly, in which body he ats tracted the attention and won the friendship of Samuel ]. Tilden. In 1877 and 1881 he was chairman of the Democratic State conventions, and in 1882 left Mayoralty chair of Elmira to become Lieutenant Governor under Governor Grover Cleveland. Two years later, when Governor Cleveland was elevated to the Presi- dency. Hill succeeded him as Gov ernor for the unexpired term, and in 1885 was elected Governor for the full term of three years as a reward for his able and earnest work for the party. His great strength was shown by the fact that he was vic torious. notwithstanding the defeat of Grover Cleveland, who was the Democracy's Presidential candidate.
 He soon became the dominating figure in New York politics, and was reelected Governor at the expirati of his first full term in 1888. Tn 1891 he was elected to the United States Senate, and almost instantly became one of that conservative body's leading spirits.
 Mr. Hill is one of the delega tes-at large from New York to the Chicago Convention.

HE'S A GOOD FISHERMAN. WILLIE MAYS GOES AFTER GAME WITH A DEBT

THE RUSSIAN MoNARCH's
Entry into St. Petersburg Marked by the Resumption of Coronation
 Festivities

LONDON. June 2G-A St. Petersburg dispatch says: The formal entry of the Car and Czarina into St. Peters burg today marking their return from Moscow was made the occasion for a display of pomp and ceremony suggestive of the hrilliancy of the re- cent coronation festivities. The couple was received by the members of the Imperial Council of State and escorted by a host of civic and mili- tary dignitaries to the palace. With in a few days the round of court functions interrupted by the sojourn at Moscow will be resumed, not with standing the fact that both the Czar and his consort have been cautioned to rest until both havefully recovered t,,a ,eefse, el1i, tl,,eff ,,,ef ossstration due to -i1e rAnausting duties entailed by tba coronation.

Confederate Veterans and Their Friends Leave Tomorrow for the Reunion at
 Richmond.

Tomorrow at 1;35 D. m, the Cot ton Belt train will carry away the old Confederate Veterans and their friends. They leave for historic Richmond, the old Confederate cap ital, and it is safe to say that more enthusiastic or a more loyal band will never pass through the stately portico than those men and women who go from Arkansas to pay hom- age to a lost but loving cause. They go to be in touch personally with the great brave men, who are as ten derly loved now as ever, and to feel some of that "olden golden glory" which must permeat the gathering. It will be to many pilgrimage not unmixed with pain, and yet the journey will be a sacred one.
 A thousand best wishes and tender thoughts from countless friends will follow them on their way. Those who will make the trip are, Messrs. R. M. Knox, ]. B. Trulock, G. E. Yalient, W. D. Morgan. D. r. Fer guson, John Temple, Mesdames. N. T. White, M. W. Bell, Willis Brown, Hugh Fox, R. NJ. Knox, John Teni- pie, Misses Emma and Julia White, Blanche Fox, Edna Tucker, and Master Dick Knox.

Judge Powers, who today repre-
sents Vermont in Congress, entered
the national house with a magnifi-
cent record as lawyer and Judge of
the supreme court of Vermont.
He is a fine type of the careful,
learned, New England lawyer.
Though but Sc years of age, he
was a member of the Vermont legis-
lature third of a century ago, and
again in 1874, when he was speaker
of the house. He has been State
censor, a member of the constitution
al convention and of the State sem
ate. In 1874 he became Judge of
the supreme court of Vermont. and
remained on the bench until 1890,
when he took his seat in Congress.
Judge Powers presided at many of
the most notable trials in the history
of the State, and is the author of
many of the most important opin-
ions to be found in Vermont reports.
No judge on the supreme bench in
any of our States has a reputation
for more clearly and Enthusiastically
expressing his opinions. His un-
