InduIges in Some Predictions.
Says BOies and Bland Could Not Carry .
State-Third Term Talk.

State-Third Term Talk.
The comptroller added that all the elect
oral votes of all the silver sure states
would not equal that Of New York, and
proceeded: "Boies could not carry Iowa,
Kansas or Nebraska, and Bland could not
win in Missouri. do not know that any
Democrat could be elected on any plat
form, but I'm certain there is an oppor-
tunity upon a sound money platform,
while there is absolutely none ON a free
silver one.
The result in Illinois would be simply
disastrous. If Altgeld compels a free sill
yer platform and runs for governor the
strength Of his state issue campaign can
not save him. 1t will not do for candi-
dates for county places to flatter them
selves with assurances that the governor
candidacy will save them. He cannot
carry his views to the extremes he does
and dcnouncc all who differ from him as
| corruptioniStS and not find many self
respecting Democrats resent such treat
mcnt.
IF Democrats are given fair opportuni-
ties to express their convictions unawctl
by threats and free from machine abuses.
they can have little ground to complain if
beaten; but If threatened on one hand and
denied rights on the other they are justi-
| fled i'm going to very great extremes in
Furnishing those who commit, authorize or
approve such wrong"
What is said at Washington concern
ing Cleveland and third term"
Il hear but little Of it. l don't believe
Cleveland will be a candidate or take "a
nomination, and do not believe those i'm
Illinois who are making the statement
that ne will know anything about it or
state il because they themselves believe it. -

A Boom That Is Likely to Burst.

KANSAS CITY, May 1.-THE boom for
governor of ex-Mayor Webster Davis is
liable to burst on the ground of his incligi-
bility to fill that office. The faction of the
Republican party headed by Major Will
lam Warner has, it is claimed, decided to
make a strong fight against Davis, on the
ground that ne has not been continuous
resident of the state for seven years, as is
required by the constitution.

ILLINOIS POLITICS.
A 6roadside on That Subject by
Comptroller Eckels.
AIMED PARTLY AT GOV. ALTGELD.

SOyuc Proceedings In the Democratic Ranks
That Are Severely Criticised as Challeng-
ing ReprisaIs That Will Not Help Matters
i'm ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Money" Declared
To he Necessary Plank in the Platform
Reply Of Gov. Altgeid.
CHICAGO, May 12-James H. Eckels,
comptroller of the treasury, who, as al
legged, has come to Illinois to look after
the sound money interests of the Demo-
Cratic party Of this state, said last night
when asked what line of action he in
tended to pursue: I'm in Chicago today
simply on my way to Ottawa, where 1
purpose spending a few days mt my home.
My stay In this city has nothing whatso-
ever to do with politics or the sound
money movement. l imagine that those
who have that matter in charge here know
the local conditions best, and will be able
to devise ways and means to show what
the real sentiment of the Chicago Democ-
racy is on the subject.
Disappointed with the Cook Democracy.
II am free to confess that Democrats in
Washington-and especially those from
Illinois-were disappointed and chagrined
mt the action of the Cook county commit
tee in refusing to call primaries under the
Crawford Law. In advising and aiding
In preventing such n primary election
Governor Altgcld cannot but have driven
from him many who have heretofore held
that, whatever may Ike his views on any
question, he honestly entertained them,
and honestly believed that n majority of
the Democrats of the state supported him
therein. The question is one that ought
tn he decided on principle. and the attempt
here to make it n question of whether or
not Governor Altgeld will run again for
governor introduces an element that gives
| many an opportunity to shirk the real
issue.
A Slap at the Governors Methods.
$50, too does making continued attacks
| upon the federal administration. The
principle involved and the wisdom or I'M
wisdom of free coinage of silver remains
the same irrespective Of the attitude Of
either President Cleveland or Governor
Altgeld towards it, and an attempt to
arouse determining factors is confession of
weakness on the part of those who resort
thereto. There is nothing to be gained by
abusing every one who disagree1 with the
state administration on this purely ma
tional question, and charges of corrupt
methods employed is, to say the least, in
very bad taste.
1ndulges in Some Predictions.
81 do not know whether those who are
engineering the free silver movement in
Illinois consider the course they are pur
suing winning politics; but if so I'm Ger
tain they will be disappointed in the re-
suits on election day. 1t means ut the out
| set the complete abandonment Ofimportant
states like New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut. 1t involves the loss of Mary
land, Delaware and Kentucky. 1t could
not save Indiana. To make this loss good
enough thoroughly silver states would
have to be won to give us Il majority in the
electoral COLLEGE,
