neen as governor of Illinois yesterday

VIII Have No STAFF.
Springfield. H.. Jan. 10.-There will
be no 'sunburst cOloncls" under Gov.
Charles S. Deneen. The glory<of shin
ing in gold lace. and the wearing of
ong swords, is to be denied those
whose martial instincts and social am
Dition hitherto have led them to seek |
places on the governors staff. If il
becomes necessary for the chief execu- |
i've to surround himself with a war-
ike display on any occasion. the regu-
ar officers of the Illinois National
guard will suffice.
Such is the news given out at
Springfield last night-news which
will blight many fond hopes. For
years the governors staff has been a
fxture. 1t was an honorary body, not
provided for by law. but yet not pro-
hibited. and each congressional nis-
trict had a representative on it.
