THE ILLINOIS NOMINEE.

The nomination Of Richard Yates for.
governor by the republicans of Illinois
is favorably received by the members of
the party in that state. The Chicago
press speaks of him in warm terms of
approval. The Tribune says:
Yesterday the representatives of the
republicans Of Illinois in9convention as

fore to a day his father was picked out

publicans The latter, who was governor
during the stormy days of war. showed
himself equal to the arduoua duties he
had to perform, and vindicated the
wisdom Of the men who nominated and
elected him.
So far as one can read the future, the
convention of 1900 will no more repent Of
Its choice than did the convention of
1860. II the younger Richard Yates in
herits the mental characteristics Of his
father he should make an excellent gov
ernor. It is his good fortune that ne has
made no pledges in advance. He has
contracted no entangling alliances. He

given the republicans OF this state a
nominee whom all of them can vote for

The REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The republican state convention in.
Des Moines yesterday selected dele
gates to the national convention that
will be acceptable to the party. This
initial meeting was harmonious and
enthusiastic one, tho it did not have
the personal interest TO members that
the later convention TO nominate state
officers will have. The leading point
Of interest in it WAS centered in the adj
dress Of the temporary chairman, Cons
gresham Robert c. Cousins, OF our
own district, Who, coming from the ma
tional councils, with which he is in
close touch, spoke with the prestige
and authority of leader. AS a Iecog (
nized orator of national fame he was
greeted by great audience and cor
daily received. His address was not
mere oratorical flight of fancy, gar-
nished with oxerwrought figures. liz
reading it one is impressed with its
substantial character, its breadth Of

national outlook. He took up and re-
viewed the Mckinley administration
from its inception in the depressing
period when democracy left the seat of
government TO the present full tide of
prosperity; and, incidentally, he scored
and satarized the present opposition as
it appears from rational point of
view. The address was one Of his best
efforts.
The resolutions adopted are brief and
to the point. Several Of the planks are
almost Identical With those adopted by
the Tenth district congressional con-
vention. drawn up by George Z. Rob

force and yet without flourish Or osssn-
