1'HfCACO, J.iij.. t!'.— Judge Samuel
I' McConnell i», It ie said on good
authority, to be placed In nomination
and supported for president by the
11 lino s delegation to tha Democratic
national convention. If he is not
landed in brat place, it Is the inten
tion of Uovernor Aitgeid and his asso
ciate delegates to continue the tight
and secure for Mr. McConnell the
nomination for the vice presidency.
When the emissaries of lllsnd and
Doles worked up so much interest at
I’eoria that the Diiuola leaders went
to Uovernor Aitgeid and asked him
concerning the advisability of iclting
the two candidates have a show in the
state convention he said no, much to
tbe disappointment of the local poli
ticians, who anticipated a lively tight
between Lbe followers of tbe two frea
silver candidates. The governor
promised his political followers then
that if the Illinois delegatioon was
left uninstructed for a presidential
candidate, he would make it the most
conspicuous figure fn the Chicago con
vention.
It is not believed by the greater
number of free silver Democrats that
Mr. McConnell will be named for
president by the convention. While
they believe that Governor Allgeld,
with the forty eight votes of Illinois
solid behind him, will be of great
force In the convention, they do not
think that he will he able to name the
candidate for president Ho far as
can be ascertained, the Illinois dele
gates, to a man, are for Mci'onuell
for vice president. Home of these
from the Hou i hern part of the state
favor Bland for president, and many
of the < ook county men favor Boles.
They will be held in line by tne unit
rule. But wheu the fight comes for
tne nomination of vice president, it is
claimed by the Democratic leaders
that the entire forty-eight will be
workng in the Interest of Judge Mc
Connell.
The governor denies most positively
the statement sent out from Spring
field last night that he was planning
a coup to seenre the nomination of
ex-Congressman W. It. Morrison for
president.

that Mr. Whitney's letter is “entitled
to the sincere respect which It re

Morgan discusses somewhat the quea
tion of an international agreement
and says:
'•It srem* to be a vei y vague and

States a real participation in her
financial policy by treaty agreements.”
Senator Morgan assumes that no
American statesman can present such
a plan as our goverument will c-ver
consent to adopt or can agree to.
under the constitution, and m e* the
friendly challenge to Mr. Whitney to
state the plan “which yon would ad
vise the Democracy to accept as a
basis, at least for an international
agreement.” The Senator concludes
as lot lows: A* you seem to agree
with the Democracy of the South aud
West that silver should ire fully re
monetized. I respectfully aubmil to
your candid judgment whether thla
restoration of the rlghta of our people
la not more justly to be expected
from the actiou and power of our own
government, that lias never failed in

of the kind, except upon the induce

lie was unanimously placed at the
head of the ticket. He had no oppo
nent. and a few moments before the i
honor was thrust upon him, declared I
he did not want it. He said so at the
conclusion of one of the most im
pressive speeches ever made iiefore a
Democratic convention. He said tie
was physically unable to lead the
fight. and his financial affairs were in |
bad ehupe and needed his attention
No sooner had he mentioned iiis de
sire to retire from public life than
there cauie au impassioned shout of
disapproval, not only from the dele
gAles, but fri in thousands of people
who were crowded in the hail. It
was a strange convention, and will
not soon he forgotten it was in ses
sion only a little over five hours.
Nearly all the candidates wpre nomi
nated by acclamation. There *vas no
strife There were no accruuonious
speeches save those directed against
the enemy.

for free silver, aud so instructed its
delegates-at-large to the National

diametrically opposite in ail its parts
to that of the Republican party, and

for its adoption.

Governor Angola's Address.
While waiting for the committee on !
resolution* to report (iovernur Alt
geld steppe.i upon the platform, and
for several irinule* there was the
most enthusiastic uproar that had
yet been witnessed. He was called
for, when he stepped forward and
said, in part:
“Four years ago our people met
under brighter skies. We swept the
country bv such a majority that fidel
ity to Democratic principles would
have insured supremacy for a quarter
of a century. Hut before the inaug
ural festivities had ceased at Wash
ington the head of the administration
sought strange gods and espoused
alien principles The interests of
money were placed above those of hu
manity. Organized greed was fed
with golden spoous, while the cry of
the husbandman was unheeded and
the aweat of the toilor brought him
no bread.
“The Republicans had inherited the
principles of Hamilton, according to
which the government should be a
convenience for the rich. Our Presi
dent tried to crowd them out and to
place his own feet on this ground. As
the months rolled by, every principle
that is vital to republican institution '
was violated and every precept of Jef
ferson, every doctrine fundamental to
Democracy, was trampled into the 1
earth. Mince then defeat has followed
dishonor until we have lost evert what
we formerly had.
“AH might have been well if the
administration had respected repub
lican institutions, and not used its
great power* to increase the burdens 1
of our people for the benefit of for- 1
eign and Eastern shy locks
“Hut the spirit of Democracy is im- 1
mortal.
“To-day the Democratic hosts are
again mustering on the plain. Un- j
fortunately, we have pursueci a course j 1
which has led men to question our ! 1
Democracy, and to doubt our profes- I 1
sions. We have allowed ourselves to
be influenced by men who have not a
drop of Democrat'c blood in their
veins
"The first thing necessary for us to
do ie to stand for something definite,
stand for those principles upon which
the hope of humanity depends If we
do this, and once show the people that
we are in earnest, no power in this
land can prevent our shaping llie
policy and guiding the destinies of the
republic.
