The Cairo bulletin., 1905-08-27

gradually has been supposed 10 have /
been an aspirant for the senate ever
since he failed Of denomination for
The governorship He was strong
candidate for several months after
the state conventions. but the posi-
bility that he will not be in the race
now is admitted.
Yates carefully has RETAINED from
himself but in the call
for a show of hands he is asked TO
at least inform the state organization
what he intends to do
The demands which have been
made Of Cullom are known and have
been published. The governor not on
" wants to know who will be candi-
dates but what these candidates pro
pose to do.
Governor Comes to Chicago.
Gov. Deneen came to Chicago yes
terday. and during the day the exact
relation of the state organization to
the federal was made plain, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Deneen's proposition Is to give the
patronage to the controlling faction Id
each county In counties which Yates
carried AZ the hast primary he IS 70
get il. IL he enters the contest Where
Hamlin won he viii get the patron
age. SO with Sherman and with Gull
| lom
This plan is acceptable to all ele-
ments of the party so far as it APP
plies outside Of Cook county, and there
comes the rub. The governor calls
attention to the fact thar at the last
primary there was change in poll
teal affairs in Cook county. A new
order of things was set up and q
new organization came into control
Senator Cullom is facing the facf
that II he is to get patronage for his
forces down the state he must give
Hit to Deneen in Cook county. The
purpose of the state organization has
been made plain to the federal organi-
cation in these words
There will be either reciprocity Or
retaliat on Cullom can have his
choice"
Sherman's Talk is Characteristic.
Shermans declaration was made in
the style which has come to be char
acleristically his.
" would like to make the race for
| the United States senate" he said
Il am good and ready for another
state fight There Is plenty of tall
about, and am ready to talk abou
lit As between Cullom and Yates, my
friends will occuW strictly neutra
position. II become candidate fol
the senate there will be nothing il
common between me and the othei
two. A contest between them wout
be a contest between an antique ant
dub.
If | should start In on campaign
for myself | should make 1t on strict
. ly state issues AS a matter OF fact
Cnllom Is not in touch with Illino s
except In a. general sort OF way
He communicates with the stat'
] through the machine which he ha
, built up A winning campaign can b.
made against him on this issue alone
so far as Yates is concerned h
s out Of the question with me. coul
g not consistently support him, and th
Estate administration cannot control III
lineup which finally dominated tn
) deadlocked convention. The state az
/. ministration can take up candidat
+ for the senatorship, make him It's car
4 dilate, and elect him but this cand
l date cannot be Yates
When Sherman was asked II
- were to be understood that he was
candidate he said:
y Il am not prepared now to max
r.. such definite statement will tai
ID over matters with Gov. Deneen.
" want TO see the state administratio
- completely successful in all thlne
and to do what can to make It so
y Delays the State Appointments.
Il While Yates and Cullom are maxim
n up Their minds the state appointment
Z. Will be held up. If the limit of tN
n. weeks which has been given them f
Y. this purpose IA not increased, Il
4 names should be forthcoming in abol
N the time Il was predicted yesterda
ng morning they would.
