SULLIVAN WINS.
After Red Hot Fight Retains Grip on
Democratic Machine.

Peoria. H., Aug. 21.-Thc Democratic
state convention met today for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for state
treasurer, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction and for three trustees of
the University of Illinois. In reality
however. the convention was more Of
fig ut for tho control of the state party
machine between the faction headed ny
National Committeeman Roger c. Sui
livan of Chicago and the immediate foi-
lowers of William ]. Bryan. the indica-
tons before the opening of the con-
yention were for q long and hard fight.
Hv a vote Of 1898 to SO. the Dexlo-
cratic state convention placed upon the
table the request of William j. Bryan
for the resignation Of Roger Sullivan
from the national committee. Despite
the fact that Mr.. Bryan had declared
that he did not wish to be endorsed
unless Sullivan was repudiated. the
convention declared him to be the one
and only man capable of leading the
Democratic party to victory IN lJoS.
The endorsement of Bryan and the ia
bling of the motion calling Tor the res
ignat;on of Mr.. Sullivan came at the
close of a most exciting session Oh the
convention in which there were sew
eral fights and throughout which con-
fusion reigned supreme. The commit
tee on resolutions declined to report
plank calling for the resignation OF sui
livan and the debate followed upon
motion made in the convention by
Judge owen Thompson of Jacksonville
calling for Sullivan's resignation. Judge
Thor,pson was the first advocate OF
of the cause of Mr. Bryan. He aroused
the hostility of Sullivan's friends by
the ursparing manner in Which ne
dwelt upon the last Democratic con-
vention at Springfield. He s'rooe up
and down the platform, his race "hite
