The practice lie It been rather to debar both paitles to 'jContest from participating In the temporar .Jr rganlzatlnn , thus referring the entire mater * * /ter to the convention.

CHICAGO. June SO Tlie Illinois delega tion to the- national democratic contention voted unanimously today to support In the convention a resolution ( or the abrogation of the rule requiring presidential candl < latcs to receive the \otcs of two-thirds ol ( he convention to Insure a nomination. Tli < proposition was eupportcu in nn carncsi ppccch by Governor Altgcld. The governoi declared that the two-thirds rule hnd l > cct a curse to the democratic party ever slnci It came Into existence. Us principal effect ho said , was to enable the inlnorltj to die Into the nominations to be made by tin patty. Furthermore , the rule was undcmo cratlc , as the democratic party was pre eminently a party of majority control. Hi declared also that the abrogation of tin rule at this time was the key to the situ atlon. With the rule In exlstente the part ; might be at the mtrcy of the gold forces with It wiped out there would be no po slbli question of the supremacy of the alive forces. The speech was received with market demonstrations of applaiibC and after Ee\cra others had spoken the motion prevallei without division. The body also dlscusHci at moro length a suggestion by t'x-Con gicssman Williams that the delegatlot should express a preference for prcslclentln candidates MrVllllatns made a speed In support of this pioposlllon anil was sup ported by Mr. Hell , who was temporar ; chairman of the 1'corla convention. Tin temper of the delegation was somewhat op posed to the action on thu subject and Mr Williams withdrew his proposition Mr. WIlllamH la a district delegate am Is Instructed for llland The delegation ex pressed itself as favorable to taking til Btcpa necessary to see-in e n silver man fo temporary chairman ; regardlebs of th chulco of the national committee. If thn choice should fall upon a gold advocate , bu expressed no preference as to aspirants Governor Altgcld was made chairman o the delegation , C. W. Illiss of Hlllsbor secretary and Colonel Huffcron of Bloom Ington wrgeanVat-arms. The dclcgatloi adjourned to meet again next Saturday a 10 a. m. The fact that the Illinois delegation tc day postponed Its decision as to what candl date It would support In the conventlo has created almost as much comment a the decision which the delegation rcache looking to the abrogation of the two-third rule. The only explanations Is that It wn considered desirable to look the field ovc more completely than had been posslbl before taking a position. It Is Intlmatei however , that Governor Altgcld , who I In complete control of the delegation , ha plans of his own which arc not yet suill clently matured to be spning. Those wh have talked with him say he Is espcctall concerned to secure a candidate on th national ticket who will add strength to th party In Illinois. Ex-Congressman Wll llams , who made the suggestion that th delegation should Indicate Its preference said he had Introduced the subject becaus ho believed If the Illinois delegation woul take a position at this time It could prac tlcally name the candidate bccaus of th Influence It would have upon other doubl ful delegations. "I shall renew the suggestion at our meel Ing to be held next Sunday , " he said , "an hope It may not then be too late for th state to make Its influence felt , but th sooner wo act the stronger we shall be. " Mr. Williams admitted that while th name of no person had been mentlonc In the meeting his purpose had been , possible , to secure Instructions for Mi Jllaml "He Is the man for us to nominate we would not be misunderstood , " said M : Williams "The people Know where M : llland stands on the monc > question , an while others may be as rpllablo for sllvc ; they are not so well understood to bi for none others have been so thorough ! identified with the cause as he has bcei No explanations would be necessary wit Mr. Bland as the democratic candidate. " Mr. Williams said also that the dcim ciats of southern Illinois were practical ) a unit for Mr. Uland and expressed tli opinion that llland could carry the staten on a free coinage platform.

D , June 30 ( Special The republicans arc not enjoying a mo nopoly of political Interest Just how. Thi populists arc earnestly discussing the make up of their ticket , and a considerable mmv ber of their candidates are coming to tin surface. The strongest contcsi appears t ( be on governorship. Three candidates an In the field , Grlgsbcy of Sioux Tails , Wjnt of Yankton and Keith ot Lake I'restou The first la believed to have the bcs chance. Grlgsbcy s friends are pushing hln on the ground that he has been n conslsten anti-monopolist nnd anti-gold man fo twenty years , That he Is one of the bee campaigners In the state , and that he cai carry Mlnnehalm county by a heavy major Ity Is certain. In 1877 , while editor of th < Sioux Falls 1'antngraph , he was a strenu oils opponent of the corporations , and li his paper and In more recent times on th stump he has persistently advocated strlc regulations and opposed the trusts. lie ha also been for years a free silver man am before leaving It exerted himself to conver the republican party of this state upoi these Issues. He Is also an old soldier Wynn Is one of the most successful bank crs In the state , a man of good addles and popular at home. Until a short Urn ago he WES generally conceded the posltloi of treasurer He ran for this office tw jears ago 1,000 ahead of his ticket. In cos of Grlgsby'a being nominated for gov ernor , It Is believed that Wjnn will rui again for treasurer. Keith has not been an active candidate but his Klngsbury county friends are push Ing him hard for the place. FOR SECOND PLACE. For lieutenant governor the candldat most often mentioned Is J. T. Kelly of Da county , who was senator In the last legls lature and who made n strong record. H Is also editor of the WcMcrn Herald air president of the Populist league. Crothcrs of Klngsbury Is aho a candl date and Is understood to have the backln ot Loucks. He has been a member of th legislature two terms. The general oplnlor however , Is that Keith has the advantage For attorney gcneial Senator McGee o Rapid City Is being urged more than an other man. Ho Is an ex-democrat , was member of the last senate , and Is rcgardc as one of the ablest as well as most poj : ular populists In the state , having repeat cdly canted Pcnnlngton county. Klpp ot Mound City has been gcnerall conceded the nomination at this time Though In case Dow dell falls iu his eau dldacy for congress he Is likely to conies the place with Klpp. Tor commissioner of schools and publi lands two candidates have appeared. Doug las has Instructed for J. S. Ilean , while 1 the northern part of the state there Is con slderable talk of Alien of Day county. I'OP railroad commissioner rischer c Splnk county and Couzan of Potter hav both secured the delegations. Tor boperlntendent of public Instructlo Miss Taubman ot Aurora county , sister ( the editor of the democratic paper at Plant Inton , Is a candidate. She Is now prluclpt of the school at Aberdeen and presldec of the State Teachers' absoclatlon. In case Wynn docs not secure the gov ernorshlp he will probably be nominated fc treasurer. If not , the strongest candldat Is T. H. Roberts of Grant county , who ra six years ago. He Is cashier of the Tarn : ers1 bank of Mlllbank. Tor congress It seems to be probabl that Goodjkontz of Mitchell and Gardne of Pennlngton county will be the cand dates. Sanborn county , however , has Instructc for Dow dell , and It Is understood that Law rence county will support Freeman Knowles The platform will call tor tree silver.

( Special. ) What promises to be In some respectn ono ot the most remarkable conventions over held by the republican party In Ncbrnskn will convene nt the Lansing thenle-r between 10 a. m. nnd U o'clock tomorrow. Seldom before has there been Riich n showing of candidates nnd such nn absence ot combl- nations. While In one or two canes the man who Is considered to bo the strongest must llc.lit the combined efforts of the field , the candliiites nrc still for the most part In dependent. It seonis to be considered thnt the hour for tlc-uis ( Is not jet nt hnnel. and that when that tlmo comes the ability ot n cnndldnto to make a Rucccxatul combi nation will depend largely upon the Inde pendent and aggressive following that ho can command. So the fight has gone all day. Each candidate has been apparently only striving to make the most of his per sonal strength to serve htm when the Held begins to break up. The morning trains were all loaded with delegates nnd all day the ; headquarters at the Llndell hotel were packed to the doors. Nearly every room on the lower floors was the headquarters of a candidate , and the delegates were at sea In the midst of such a carnival ot ofllce seeking The great fea turc of the da > was the absence of the man who Knows all about It. Under such chaotic conditions even the most astute of the party leaders were unwilling to register n de cided opinion as to the success ot any ono of the candidates. The > only men who were huaid to make a positive nbsertlon that they would win were Jack MacColl's man agers , who declared early In the day that their man would win on the third or fourth ballot E H Penney of Lexington , who U ch'ef ' In command of the MacColl forces , bald "MacColl will br > the nominee. It will not bo on the first ballot , and It may not be on the second , but he will win. Wo expect to have about 350 votes on the first ballot , and wo will gain strength on every ballot. " ASSERTIONS OF OTHERS. John C Watson of Nebraska City Is acting ' . Ho docs as Judge Haywnnl's right-bower. not expect to show as many votes as Moo- Cell or Melklejohn on the first ballot , but ho Insists that Hayward has the best chaneo to win Ho bc'llcves that neither MacColl nor Melklejohn can hold their stiength after the Hist ballot and that sooner or later one of them must weaken. When that time comes his opinion Is that Hayward - ward will win In a walk. Mclklejohn's headquarters are presided over by Drad Slaughter , who considers tha prospects encouraging. Mclklejohn's friends place his strength on the first ballot all the way irom 250 to 3SO. Nothing has occurred during the day to change tlio situation In n single degree. Many of the delegates did not arrlvo until late In Iho aflcrnoon nnd not a single cau cus was bchcduled until evening. Tonight there nrc caucuses galoreThey will ion- tlnue all night In various retired corners nnd the leaders opine that when mornlngj cornea definite cr > Btall7ntlon of sentiment , nnd votes will have been effected. > x * At midnight the first Indications of a ten dency toward combinations of the various political forces are beginning to be apparent. As the crowd of spectatoio and outsiders around hcadquartcis begins to thin out there Is a prospect that the political car penters will spentMhe lest of the night In patching up combinations for the morrow. Hut at this tlmo/it may nbo truthfully said thnt not n single slate IsIn uxlotencc , Onoi > - or two abortive eHoits' ' < Vero made during the day to tie up sonic of the conflicting la- tercsts , but they bore no fruit. Unless something Is born of tccrct conferences that some ot the leaders uru holding In private ) looms the day of the convention will find the delegates In the same condition of political chaos that has reigned nil day. It would Indeed bo nn astute politician who could locate his exact whereabouts la this maelstrom of conflicting aspirations. There Is a widespread ImprcHslou that any slate that Is made tonight will fall. U la feared that the mlnuto n combination Is made the field will combine lo knock It Into a cocked hat. Therefore the leaders nro slow to take chances and many of them openly declare that any candidate will com mit political suicide who enters Into an open combination at this time. DELEGATES NOT ALL IN. The state central committee has selected George " \V Collins of Pawnee City as the temporary clmliman of the convention. So far no aspirants have been presented for the position of the permanent chairman and It IB now the plan to make the tem porary organisation permanent. Rev , L. I' . Ludtlcn of Lincoln will offer the opening prayer One of the first questions on which a con test is promised Is that of the renomlnatlon of Corbctt , Russell , Piper and Churchill by acclamation. This Idea has been practically abandoned by all the candidates Interested except Churchill. His friends InsUt that they will try to force a renomlnatlon by iicclnmntlon , Hut this plan Is vigorously op- poBed by the friends of other candidates , and the Fcntlmont of the delegates teems to bo that every candidate must stand on hlii incritB It IE mora probable that the rcgu- lai order will bo Insisted on and that each nomination will be balloted on except that of secretary of state , tor which Mr. I'lper has no nppnrent apportion. TUN FOR TREASURER. Next to governor , the contest on which most Interest centers Is that of the nomi nation for state treasurer. There Is a field ot ten In which no man presumes to cheese n winner. McNIsh , DroolcH , Casey and Raich uro the leaders. The friends of the Douglas county delegate assert that ho will develop HurprlHlng strength. They neecrt that ho 1ms votes on dozens of delegations from which he Is not aluted for support and that as these votes are those of the most In fluential men on the delegations , he will gain constantly after the first ballot. The nvenlng trains brought In largo addi tions to the crowd of delegates nnd on. lookers , but It is estimated that scarcely tvveMhlrds of the delegates have yet made * their appearance. They will not como In until the morning trains , nnd this operates tn still further complicate the situation. If It was posslblfl to obtain caucuses of the ) entlro forces of any of the leading candl. dates , the formation of u strong combina tion would bo easy , but this la out of the question tonight. Thcro Is only ono really now feature that the day has brought forth , That IB an ap. parent strengthening of Jack MacColl's can didacy. Whllo the light IB for from bolng over , It is everywhere evident that senti ment IB tending toward MacColl , and that his chances art ) materially better than they vvoro this morning. His supporters are cm Phatlc In declaring that his nomination in assured. They assort that tomorrow mornr Ing will find him still stronger , liavlnu gained a number of delegations that had been supposed to bo for either candidates.
