Coxconn, N. II., ,Tuno 29. -United

the Senate. The full senato now
numbers ninety members, and we shall
ncftd foity-slx for a majority, though,
inasmuch as tho existing vacancy in
Kentucky will continue until 1800, we

gress with forty-five. Wo havo now
forty-four senators who are nominally
Republicans, but of these, five- Sen
ators Teller, Dubois, Carter, Mantlo
and Cannon refused to act witli us in
the passage of tho Dlngley emergency
tanil'lust winter.aud Isuppose we must
now add to thorn Senator Pottigrcw of
South Dakota, because ho left tho St.
Louis convention with other secedcrs.
This reduces us to thirty-eight
straightout Hepublicansjwho are for
protection as against protection yoked
with free silver, ii'id wo shall need
seven mora to enable us to pass tho
revenue bill, which the country de
mands. Some of our pains arc already
made, us in Maryland and Ohio, and
wo shall elect in Now York, Illinois
and Wisconsin. This will give us
Torty-lhreo, or two snort of a major

must include North Carolina Sena
tor Priteh.it-d's scat is likely to be lost,
because ho was first chosen by a fusion
movement, which prooublv will bo
hard to cfTcct again. In Uta'- also,
thero is dangor of losing oonator
Hrown, who refused to act with the
stiver men in deadlocking the Dlngley
bill, and who now has been confronted
with an issue in his fight for re-election,
which will cither defeat or cause
lilin to coalesce with Senator Cunnon
in a policy of opposition. In Colorado
Senator Wolcott Is iu similar danger,
as he hns been subject to venomous
criticism because he would not go ;o
far as Senator Teller in his devotion
to tho white metal. Add to this tho
not altogether remote chance of los
ing a Republican Senator in North
Dakota and California, and the claims
of the Democrats that we cannot elect
in either Kansas 'or Illinois, and tho
outlook is not rosy. I must admit
thut 1 cannot now satisfactorily out
line the metliod by which we shall be
ablfc to hold tho Senate for a protec

The Illinois Democracy.
Peoiha, 111., Juno 25. John P.
Altgeld is the nominee of tho Demo
cratic party for governor of Illinois.
He wus unanimously placed at tho
head of the ticket. He had uo oppo
nent, and a few moments boforo the
houor was thrust upon him, declared
ho did not want it He said so at tlio
conclusion of one of tho most im
pressive speeches ever made before a
Democratic convention. He said ho
was physically unable to lend the
fight, and his financial affairs were in
bad shape and needed his attention.
No sooner had lie mentioned his do
sire to retire from public life than
thero came an Impassioned shout of
disapproval, not only from tho dele
gates, but frcrn thousands of pcoplo
who were crowded in the hall. It
was n strange convention, and will
not soon be forgotten. It was In ses
sion only a little over five hours.
Nearly all tho candidates were nomi
nated by acclamation. There was no
strife. Theio were no nccrimonious
speeches save those directed against
tho enemy.
The convention came out strongly
for free silver, und so instructed its
dclegutes-at-liirge to the National
convention. The platform was almost
diametrically opposite in all its parts
to that of tho Republican party, and
the 1,0(10 delegates voted unanimously
for its udoption.
The following delegatcs-at-largo to
the convention at Chicago were then
reported: John 1'. Altgeld and Sam
uel P. McConncll, Chicago; W. II.
lienrichsen, Jacksonville, and George
W. Filliian of Jasper county.
No instructions wero given for Pres
ident. Governor Altseld's Address.
While waiting for tho committee on
resolutions to report Governor Alt
geld stepped upon the platform, and
for several rcinutcs there was the
most enthusiastic uproar that had
yet been witnessed. He was called
for, when ho stepped forward und
said, in part:
"Four years ago our people met
under brighter skies. Wo swept the
country bv such a majority that fidel
ity to Democratic principles would
have insured supremacy for a quarter
of a century, llut before the inaug
ural festivities had ceased at Wash
ington the head of the administration
sought strange gods and espoused
alien principles. Tho interests of
money were placed above those of hu
manity. Organized greed was fed
with golden spoons, while tho cry of
the husbandman was unheeded and
the sweat of the toilor brought him
no bread.
"The Republicans had inherited tho
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 owu 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 Hie
earth. Since then defeat has followed
dishonor until we have lost even what
wo formerly had.
"All might have been well if tho
administration had respected repub
lican institutions, and not used its
great powers to increase the burdens
of our people for the benefit of for
eign and Eastern shylocks.
"Hut the spirit of Democracy is im
mortal. "To-day the Democratic hosts are
again mustering on the plain. Un
fortunately, we have pursued a course
which lias led men to question our
Democracy, and to doubt our profes
sions. We have allowed ourselves to
be influenced by men who have not a
drop of Democratic blood in their
veins.
"The first thing necessary for us to
do ic to stand for something definite,
stand fur those principles upon which
the hope of humanity depends. If we
do tills, and once show the people that
we are in earnest, no power in this
land can prevent our shaping the
policy and guiding the destinies of the
reoublic.
Mark Hiinna's Trust.

country.
