To preside over a great common
wealth, like that of Illinois, surprising
in wealth, Importance and resources
many of the minor States of Europe,
and greater in population than the
whole United States when Washing
ton was elected President, in such
a way that every department ana
bureau shall work in concert in the
development of the moral and material
progress Of mighty people, requires
not only the guiding hand of practical
experience, but also rare wisdom in
the selection of men and measures best
adapted to secure the desired result.
His was recognized as the very best
of administrations, and so satisfactory
to the people of the State was this
thoroughly patriotic and business-lilSe
administration that he was renominat-
ed and reelected in 1880, and he was
the first and only man ever SO honor
ed in the history of the State.

The Japanese seem to have the
white brother in a panic over the
world. In recent speech, Congress-
man McKinlay of California said:
"The Japanese are making lead
pencils in imitation of the American
brands and are selling them as the
genuine article, they are putting count
erfeit American bicycles on the mar
ket, and are even reproducing Amer
lean labels and revenue stamps on
boxes of cigars"
The Congressman did not seem to
admire these evidences of Japanese
enterprise and ingenuity, and event

IN the administration of the State
government Governor Cullom develop
ed the highest qualities of statesman
ship, combined with the greatest de.
gree Of business sense His was a
business administration, and by the ex-
sIclse OF the strictest economy in all
branches of the public service during
his administration the public debt of
the State was paid
1t was during his administration,
too, that the additional penitentiary at
Chester and the additional hospital for
the insane at Kankakee were con-
structed.
He was faithful friend of the State
institutions and not a breath Of scan
dial attached to the construction or
operation of any of them while he was
in the executive mansion.
Men of the highest character and
standing were selected for important
departments of service. with a spe-
c1a1 view to their executive ability and
fitness to perform the duties of their
respective positions.
There was no executive interference
with the several boards of trustees,
commissioners and heads of depart
ments in the organization and in the
appointment and removal of subordin-
ates. The various boards were held
accountable for results and were given
the fullest powers by the executive.
Wherever the interests OF the State
fell within the purvieW of the execu-
tive department, the most patient and
Thoughtful attention was bestowed upo1
them.
