A dispatch to the Journal from Washing
ton says of the domination of Charles s
Deneen as the Republican candidate for
Governor OF Illinois:
: Great eIation is manifested around Re
publican circles tonight over the news OF
the Deneen nomination for Governor of IL
linois. Chairman Payne, of the Repub-
lican national committee. received a tele-
gram from a leading Republican in the
State saying the nomination of Deneen
means that Illinois will give 10000 Repub-
lican majority Not only is the situation
much clarified by the result in Illinois. but
the impression is general here that the ef-
feet will be good in all the States OF the
middle West, even Wisconsin. where there
is so much controversy oyer the state tick
ct as to- cause dismay among Republicans
generally regarding the electoral ticket.
Already the talk here tonight is that
the nomination in Illinois makes Senator
Fairbanks the logical and certain candidate
OF the Chicago convention for Vice Presi-
dent and eliminates the names of Speaker
Cannon and Representative Hit. The basis
for this opinion is said to be OF a varied
character One point is that Speaker Can
non injured himself materially in Illinois
by his opposition to Yates and his efforts
In behalf of Lowden. Another point, and
Ouc VI llOIc consequence, Is lndI the DOpQ-
larity of Deneen in Cook county will have
the effect to hold down the Democratic
vote there and make Illinois more certain
ly Republican. The fact that he was victo-
rious against the Lorimer machine in the
city is accepted as evidence of his personal
strength. This being the situation, it Is no
longer regarded by the politicians here as
important to make a vice presidential Sc
lection from Illinois. The news had de-
pressing effect in the Democratic headquar-
ters, where high hopes have been enter
- Of ho
troubles in Illinois.
Among Eastern politicians generally
there has been no change in the convic-
ton that took root several months ago that
Senator Fairbanks can have the vice presi-
Dental nomination if he wants it, The
HIT boom was short lived. 1t did not
take There was no enthusiasm over the
illinois statesman. The Evening Star says
tonight:
According to authentic unofficial
tor Fairbanks has in no way belied the
Silent attitude he has maintained from the
beginning as to his nomination for the
vice presidency on the Republican ticket.
he is not candidate and will not permit
a hand to be turned for the honor. He
Will accept the nomination II IL comes to
him without a fight and with the evident
desire or the Republicans of the country.
He Will not allow the use of his name for
the place If there is to be a fight. The
indlana republicans will do nothing for
MIN at Chicago except to vote for him.
| They will understand that they are not
to do any booming and soliciting of votes.
Their loyalty to and support of Senator
Fairbanks must be full Of dignity as his
own position That describes the vice presi-
Dental situation IL revolveS around the
senator from Indiana
Word has been received here that Rep
resentative Hemenway is his way 10

controversy has arisen in the joint SEN
atorial district composed of Fountain, War
rem and Benton counties that may be car
ried to the Republican state committee. z.
| III. Nebeker, of Covington. who was in the
city yesterday, said that w. T. Malott, OF
Malott, the chairman of the Fountain coun-
ty organization, would register a protest
against the holding of the convention Mon
| day at Fowler, claiming that the conven-
| ton was called on too short notice, but
| Mr.. Malott has not as yet taken the matter
up with the state committee. The contro-
verSy grows out of the contest for the SEN
atorial nomination. Fountain county has a
candidate in the person of o. p. Lewis, OF
Covlngton, former representative, and War
rem county Republicans are working for
| the denomination of Senator Fremont Good
wine, of Williamsport. The latter has not
formerly announced his candidacy, but his
name Will go before the convention. A few
days ago the county chairmen of Warren
and Benton called on Mr.. Malott and asked
him TO join them in calling the convention
| for next Monday. He declined, but, as they
constituted majority of the district com
mittee, they issued the call over his protest
