fantry hall the Thursday preceding tho
Republican gathering and II is well under
stood among the leaders that as yet the
nomination for governor has been lender
ed TO no one although several prominent
names have been mentioned as men who
would not only be strong but would be men
whom the party would be proud to see in
the executive chair at the state house.
Among these former Gov. l.. F. c. Gar
wins name is. of course, prominently
mentioned. II the nomination is ten
dered him he will probably accept, for It
is understood he is I'm the hands of his
friends as before and ready TO do his best
for the state.
The central committee has met and with
Chairman Col. +. III. Quinn has discussed
matters pertaining 10 the welfare OF the

expected within a very few DAYS.

when asked by the News man what
he thought Of the enrolment by the COM
mittee OF IL he said he had hardly placed
himself I'm touch with affairs as yet. From
what he could ascertain II was an attempt
to cut off renegade Democrats and crooks
from the party and prevent Republicans
voting I'm Democratic caucuses. II that
was true he said. he could do nothing ex-
cept express himself as heartily In favor
OF Il. as he considered Republicans had
