SENATOR CUILOM.

ILLINOIS GOVERNOR WOULD LIKE TO SUCCEED
SENATOR CULLOM.
Chicago, Jan. II (SpeciaD.-The positive an
nouncement from Springfield that Governor Tan
ner IS a candidate for United States Senator and
intends to try to defeat Shelby NJ. Cullom. caused
little surprise among Republican politicians. When
the question raised some time ago, the story
doubted but to-day, in view Of the news from
the State capital. It accepted true. The
opinion now prevails that the Tanner and Cullom
forces will fight to the finish. The fact that Gull
lom's best political friends have been working for
Congressman Reeves as gubernatorial candidate,
has been sufficient convince most observers that
serious trouble brewing between the Governor
and the Senator, especially when Tanner was
bitterly opposing Reeves
There was renewed activity at the Reeves head
quarters to-day when 1t became known that actual
warfare had been begun between the Tannar and
CuIlom men, and 1t pointed out that positive
knowledge of the feud is likely to help the Con-
gresham materially all the Culom supporters
are now expected TO line up for Reeves, for the
purpose of fighting Tanner effectively.
Charles Linn, Cullom neutenants. have seen the
contest coming for some time and have been pre-
pairing for 1t. They are Reevess chief managers
and while working for the Congressman have not
neglected to look after the Senator's political
interests

lowing paragraph referring to the purchase OF the
Custom House Building:
We shall make the above payment of S3,215OO0
upon the understanding, of course, that we are not
be liable for any taxes water rates upon the
property so long you remain in possession and
the balance of $4,000 remains unpaid and the deed
is undevered.
Il do not wish to make any comment the
letter" Mr. Fetner said, but I expect that
shall collect the taxes on the Custom House Build
ing in Wall-st. The assessment against the prop
erty is on our books, and | have yet to hear of
any step to prevent from collecting the taxes
the ground that the property still belongs to the
United States Government and is exempt from
taxation"
