CilioAoo, dune ''. .ludgu Samuel
I'. McCniiuell is, it is said on good
authority, to be placed iu nomination
and biipported for president by tho
Illinois delegation to thu Democratic
national convention. If ho is not
landed In llrst place, it is the inten
tion of (ioTuruor Atlgeld and his asso
ciate delegates to eoutiuno tho light
and secure for .Mr. McConnell the
nomination for tho vice presidency.
When tho. emissaries of filaud and
Holes worried up so much interest at
I'eorla that the Illinois lenders went
to liovernor Altgeld mid asUed him
concerning the advisability of letting
the two candidates have a show iu thu
.State convention he said no, much to
the disappointment of the local poli
ticians, who anticipated n lively tight
between tho followers of tho two free
silver candidates. The governor
promised his political followers then
that if the Illinois delegation!! was
left iiitiustructcd for a presidential
candidate, he would make It the most
conspicuous figure iu the Chicago con
vention. It is not believed by the greater
number of free sliver Democrats thai
Mr. McConnell will be named for
president by the convention. While
they believe that (inventor Altgeld,
with tho forty eight votes of lllinoin
solid behind' him, will bo of great
force lu the convention, they do not
think that ho will be able to name the
candidate for president. So far as
can be ascertained, the Illinois dele
gates, to a man, arc for Mel onncll
for vlco president. Some of these
from tho Southern part of tho state
favor llkind for president, and tunny
of the Cook county men favor Holes.
They will be held in line by tne null
rule. Hut when tho fight' comes for
Die nomination of vice president, it is
jlaimed by tho Democratic leaders
that the entire forty-eight will bo
working lu the interest of .lodge Mc
Connell. The governor denies most positively
