step to greet friends and constituents.
shortly after y o'clock the lively scene
was still more enlivened by the pres
ence of the Thirty-fourth Ward detach.
mcnt of Democracy. The members
thereof had come eight miles to take
hand. and having been obliged to make
a flying start did not hear that all was
off until they reached the rendezvous
AZ I'D street. Five hundred strong.
they unanimously decided to go over
the route on their own responsibility,
The march was taken up and the club
showed its transparencies and tenacity
of purpose throughout the line of lower
state street to the delight and edifica-
ton of the multitude. Evidently the
Observation-Disclosures are sound on the
money question.
Following President Iallas and his
mounted detachment came the trans.
parencies. on every one of which were
legends such as 10 to 1 in 1900" I'VE
must have Bryan" "Silver was good I'm
IN: 1t is better in DS." John +. Ne.
GoOrty. the next speaker" "Our lead
ers. Bryan and Altgcld." and "f,imetal.

a special from Cairo. Ill.,. dated Oct.
=. says: John Il. Tanner has set the
Republicans of Illinois guessing ~ to
what he will or won't do when his term
of office rs Governor expires.
According to some people he proposes
To he % candidate for Governor again.
Others equally wise say that Gov. Tan
ncr wants to go to the United States
Senate to succeed Cullom. 1t Is claimed
that he will name some man of his own
FOR the Governorship with view of 81.
curing help for the Senate.
The lntimation is given out that Tan.
ner does not want to face the gossip
In u fight for the GovcrnOrsliip. Sew.
cral men of more or less Importance are
being talked about as Tanners rcsid.
uary legatcc. Secretary OF State Rose
Is one Of these. II Is u noticeable fact
that Tanner Is sending Rose to the
front when opportunity presents itself.
II. J. Hamlln, Of Shelbyvllle. Il also
gaining nOtoricty In this connection.
Mr.. llamlin Is the attorney for the
Board Of Railroad and Warehouse Com
mlss!oners. This organization has
more or less litigation all the time. AMI
rs Il has quite u contingent fund Ham.
Inns position Is not to he despised.
Hninlin's friends think he Is going to
he the next Governor.
Senator Berry, Of Hancock County.
would like TO he Governor of Illinois.
When 1t was found to be necessary to
pass the Infamous Allen bill Bcrry's
services were In great demand. He was
at that time out IN the cold. cold world.
The Democrats and POpulists had
fused. electing man by the name Of
Manifold by u small majority over Ber-
~. The Senator Is u fighter. as every
body knows. The administration and
the friends Of the Allen bill got under
him and into the Senate he went. SEN
ator Berry has better place than Ham
lin. He Is the attorney for Insurance
Commissioner Van Cleave. The Sena-
tor Is kept busy ana Is doubtless well
paid for his work. Berry will never
get the nomination for Governor. His
record on the Allen bill Is little II any
better than Tanners. He "bOOsted" 1t |
through the Senate while Tanner ap-
proved II.
John Il. Tanner il fighting for every
point OF political advantage that OPP
pOrtunity presents. He has no definite
plans for the future. He wants an
office. to be sure: he wants to In Gov
ernor ana he wants to DE Senator. He
Is by no means certain which will he
the easier fish to land. He Is gathering
unto himself every influence available
ana making all the friends he can. He
Is paying particular attention to the
Republican Senators and the Republi |
can nominees for the Senate to be elect |
ed next month. He Is hOnOring these |
men In every conceivable way, putting |
them on committees ana all that sort OF |
thing. He Is evidently getting ready to
exert big influence In the next Sena-
tOrial election. Senator CullOm's
friends must not underestimate his |
strength. 1t Is understood down here
he proposes to revamp his administra-
ton. Some men enjoying office under |
him have lost their counties and are
no longer entitled to recOgni-
ton.
When Tanner began his campaign for
the GOvernOrship he promised Gov.
Fifer to care for n lot of statesmen,
notably Judge Messick, Gen. Reese. G.
