M'ENIRY IS NAMED
Appointed by Democratic Sena-
toriaI Committee to Fill Leg
isIatiVe Vacancy.
BE Is THE UNANIMOUS CHOICE
Andrews Given Five Days to Elect
Which Ticket He Wishes
to Remain On.

NJ. J. Mekniry, of Moline, was last
night appointed to I'LL the vacancy in
the legislative ticket by the demo
cratic committee of the Thirty-thiId
senatorial district. He was the unani-
nous choice of the committee. The
meeting was held at the Harper
house. The committeeman present
were John Schafer. Jr., and L. d.
Nudge, of Rock Island county, and
A. B. Anderson and Z. d. Mayhem,
of Henry county. Charles Buford,
the third member from Rock Island,
is in St. Louis, and was unable to
attend.
The committee choosing Mr.. Me
Entry was elected by the democratic
senatorial convention of two years
ago, and, it would seem, ac-
cording to the decision of the
Judges who heard the McEniry-
Andrews contest, is still in exist
ence by reason of the illegality of the
proceedings of the recent conventions
at Cam bridge, and viii continue until
its successor is regularly appointed.
There seemed no other way to pro-
coed than that followed by the sena-
torial committee, which evidently
buried, for the time, at least, what
ever differences there may have been
between the democratic leaders of the
two counties, and acted as one for the
best interest of the democrats of the
district.
Nomination Papers Filed.
The nomination papers were for
warded last night to M. j. McEniry at
Springfield, where they were filed to-
day with the secretary of state.
AS heretofore told in THE ARGUS, j.
II. Andrews, of Kewanee, Monday
filed at Springfield his certificates of
nomination as a democratic and an
independent candidate. He has been
informed by the secretary of state that
he must elect within five days of which
party he desires to stand as nominee.
In the meantime the clerks of Rock
Island and Henry counties have been
notified by the secretary to withhold
from the state ballots, with which
they have already been supplied, the
name of Mr.. Andrews, notice to this
effect having come to County Clerk
H. B. Hubbard yesterday. In case Mr..
Andrews elects to stand as demo-
cratic candidate the supreme court
may yet be called upon to determine
who of the two aspirants shall stand
as the nominee of the democracy.
From legal standpoint there are
two reasons why Mr.. Andrews is not
entitled to go upon the ticket as a
democratic candidate-irst, because
the committee that appointed him
was the creature of O convention
whose proceedings have been held by
the courts to have been irregular, and
second, because if it belonged among
it's provinces to act, there was no meet
ing OF the committee, only two of the |
five understand both of them from
Henry county-having certified to his
