Springfield III. April 27-Never be
fore in the memory Of the oldest poll
ticians has there been 50 much excite
ment and interest in a state convention
in Illinois as there is over the. one to be
held here next Wednesday.
The chief interest seems to center on
the presidential question. A move
ment is on foot among the friends Of
William Mckinley to have the cOnven-
ton adopt resolutions instructing the
delegates at large to vote for McK1n-
lev as soon as the convention is called
to order. Senator CuIlom's friends are
of course bitterly opposed to this as al
so are those favOring Allison and Reed
What the outcome viii be no man, not
even the leaders themselves. can pre-
dict.
The leaders of the different factions
are working night and day, and unless
an agreement is reached before the day
of the convention, one OF the hottest
fights ever known in the history OF lii
nOis politics may be looked for
Arran gements have been made Tor
seating from Il, geo TO 5000 people in the
convention hall, and from the present
outlook it would seem that fully that
many viii be present
At present Their are Is special CORE
spondents from the metropolitan daily
papers and the number will be greatly
1 increased H. w ednesday-
CULLOM IS HOPEFUL.

Cullom. United States senator from III
inOis arrived from Washington at an
early hour this morning and departed
at IL o'clock for Springfield to be pres
ent at the Republican state convention.
He said regarding his chances for the
! endorsement of the state conventions
Il am hopeful because my friends are
/ hopeful. There will be hard fight,
/ however, and no one can definitely fore
4 tell the final result / am still a candl-
1 date, and expect to remain one until
/ the close of the St. Louis convention.
/ One thing / cannot understand, and
/ that is why j am 50 maligned at the
/ present time by the people Of my own
state. I was elected to the legislature
/ in 1856, and have served the state and
/ my party faithfully ever since in var
I iOus capacities. Why at this time
/ should every little thing that seems to
] be against me be taken up and magni-
fed into malignant attack, is be
yond me
Patronage will not cut so much fig
/ ure at Springfield as some people
/ think. No man who is a candidate for
/ the highest honor the people Of this
/ country can bestow, can afford to stoop
/ to any back alley methods The inter
ests of the people VIII prevail, and the
/ delegates VIII govern themselves &C
| cOrdingly."
Mr.. Cullom did not care to express
