ALTGELD FOR CONGRESS-.
The Ex-Governor Hopes to Succeed
the Lutte Representative Cooke.

the Late ReprSSSnt1t1Se COOke.
Ex-Governor Altgeld expects to come to
Congress from the sixth Illinois district as
the successor of the late Edward Dean
Cooke Although the republicans will make
a strong effort to hold the sixth district in
the republican column, there is such large
&c rman vote there Is to inspire the friends
of Altgeid with the hope of success of car
rying the district The announcement from
Chicago that Altgeld proposes TO enter the
congressional race occasioned considera bic
gossip among the Illinois congressman at
the Capitol today. The sixth district is In
the most thickly populated sections of Chi
c2go. and the democrats and republicans
have elected congressman from that dis
trict alternately for a number of years
past The late Representative Cooke was
elected over Joseph w. Martin, the free
silver candidate, by over 5000 majority
and the republicans believe they can hold
the district in line in spite of Altgelds pop
ularity with the working classes in Chi
cago.
me democrats say that the election OF
carter Harrison IN the spring demon
strates that ii will be an easy matter to
eject Altgeld, and they are enthusiastic in
the idea of the ex-governor making the
race.

Arouses Great Interest.
Many Candidates for GubernntOrial
Observation-Disclosures the Choice for
the United States Senate.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 2S-The candi-
dates and delegates are here in force to-
day for the democratic state convention,
which meets tomorrow and Wednesday.
The delegates meet by congressional dis
tricts tomorrow afternoon. and the COM
mittees tomorrow night, while the conven-
tion proper does not assemble till Wednes-
Gay morning. In addition to a full state
ticket, members of the legislature are elect
ed this year. There have been several as
pirants for the Senate, but John r. Nc
Lean, proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
has secured such a large majority of dele
gates to the state convention that there is
no more opposition to him here than
there was to Senator Hanna at the
republican state convention in Toledo last
week Mr.. Mclean did not expect to at
tend the convention, hut his friends today
say They will try to get him here.
Want No Endorsements.
McLean's friends do not want any sena-
torial Endorsement resolution attached to
the platform. They do not want any in
Gorsement for any other senatorial candi-
date. and are simply keeping clear the
right of way. No democrats have held
state offices since Mckinley was governor,
and a new class of aSpirantS is in the field.
place on the state ticket, and they are all
here today with headquarters open.
Nomina tionS will be made for governor,
lieutenant governor, supreme Judge, attor-
ney general state treasurer, school commits
sioner and member of the board of public
works.
Candidates for Governor.
Among the candidates for governor are
Robert T. Hough. Paul ]. Sorg, John c.

man, John j. Lentz, G. p. Noble, Jonn w.
Winn. Z. B. Finley. F. C. Layton, +. NJ.
Marriott. John G.. Reeves, Frank Southland.
Today Hough is the favorite, but the field
is making a hard fight on him. His friends
claim that he is such strong silver man
that ne resigned solicitor of the inter
nal revenue department. His opponents
say his resignation was asked for and
that he wore Carlisle gold button.
The convention is almost unit for free
silver, and no candidate is consid cred
whose record is not clear on that issue
To Make Silver Sole ISSUE
An effort is being made to have nothing
else in the platform except the one silver
plank. This will avoid indorsing the Chi
cago platform whole and other Ques-
tions which there are differences of
opinion.
Owing to Senator Hanna voting against
the Cuban resolution there are some W he
insist on stronger Cuban resolution than
was adopted at Toledo.
