Young, of Ohemnng, (wh» by the way always seems to have his pockets full of scheme* to suit his own end*) moved that a committee of five be appointed to select the Jludclal delegates, which being voted down he attempted his District game, which also failed, when a committee of one from each town was chosen who re- parted the following navies as dele­ gate* to the Judicial Convention.

The government has announced its readiness to listen te the complaints ot the dlsaflected population, and re­ dress any real grtrvanoei under which they may be suffering. MTLaet fall Democratic papers all over the country rent the air with the sterotjrpe quotation, MTurn the rascals out." They meant by this that the people should elect Cleveland, in which event the rascals (Republican office­ holders) would be kicked out. New then the question arises, are the rascals being hart!bred by a Democratic presi­ dent, or was it a mistaken cry? Per- Jiape Mr. Cleveland did not find as many liseal* holding office as his friends let 1ST Mr. Cleveland's cabinet officers appeir to b« satisfied with their own appointments. Attorney Geaeral Gar­ land to! 1 a Missouri Senator, Tuesday, that there would be no removals of Halted States district attorneys. Unit­ ed States marshals, or other federal officials classed under the department of justice, save for causes other than political. That Incumbents would be al.t lowed to serve out their terms, secure in their commissions, and that it was useless to talk of appointments to such places until vacancies occurred natur. ally or until charges of Incompetency or wrong doing were sustained. Pretty coon It will be a question whether it is the Republican or Democratic party that is sorry Mr.Cleveland was elected. • - SKtig's Shameless Conduct. • Of all the trifling and recreant politi­ cians in the Illinois legislature, Mr. Eu­ gene Slttig occupies the most shame­ less position. He was elected as a Republican; be repudiates his duty to Ills party. He Is the representative of a district; be fails iu his duty te the people of that district. He eats, sleeps and talks, and yet he is paired with a dead nan. For his neglect of doty as a representative he offers no reasonable excuse, If Mr. Sittig has an honorable objection to voting with bis party in joint convention, let him state it and vote for some one else. His pair with the late Representative 9baw is a farce Insulting to the dead and dishonor able to the man who plays it. In declining to exercise bis functions until Shaw's successor is elected, Mr, Slttig grossly violates the purpose of his own elec­ tion. Our only regret Is that the gov­ ernor cannot issue a writ for an elec­ tion to fill a vacancy caused by inex­ cusable absence from the post of duty. •j<~4Mcaffo News, Illinois Democrats. ThO Democrats of Illinois are not particularly happy over President Cleveland's way of running the govern­ ment. So far there has not been a single Important appointment within the state. The situation in Illinois Is 'pictured in a recent article In the Washington Star, as follows: The Illinois Democrats are trying to get Cleveland te remove "Long" Jones, the mar­ shal at Chicago, before the Senatorial contest Is settled. They wanted the removal made before the local election took place, but failed In that. A congressman-elect waited upon the president and teld him that Jones nad been away from his post at Chicago fer nine weeks at Springfield working to elect a Re­ publican Senator, and doing all in his power to hurt Merrison, and declared that popular sentiment demanded his removal at once. Morrison's friends say that Jones is using his official position to tiie injury of the great tariff reformer, and are very much annoyed that the president allows him to retain his power. They charge that he has prostituted his pow­ er for political purposes ever since he has held it, an't think there can be no excuse for his retention. The president, it is understood, does net look at the thing just as they do. He intends to appoint a good men and a good Democrat in the place of Jones, but does not ese the necessity of'making the change with reference te the Senatorial contsst. He has no doubt that the matter ought to be looked into, but he has not had time to consider it properly, and he does not comprehend the ne­ cessity of making a sudden change without consideration. His idea seems to be to ignore political reasons for the removal, and to con­ sider it from a business standpoint only. Mr. Jones' term expires about the middle of May. They (the Illinois Democrats) want all the postmasters in the state changed, as soon as possible, too. There was one postmaster they felt pretty sure of getting upon the offensive­ ly paitisan "racket." They told the president that this postmaster had' got a half-decom­ posed dead bull-dog when the state of New 10 York was claimed for both parties after the election, and propped it up in fro.it ot the i label on it, "This is Grorer that Democrats had to held postofflce, with a Cleveland," |so their noses on going for their mail. This, they thought, was a clear case of offensive parti­ sanship. Mr. Cleveland, however, seemed to think it a matter that should have been re- portea to the sanitary authorities, and has net yet bounced the postmaster. I9»A very close obseryer Is tit* Washington correspondent of the New York Herald. Me has been watching the President's method of shaking hands, and announces that Mr. Cleve­ land Mbas but one hour's work of this kind every day, and he seems to like it. It is oertaln that bis lady callers do,tor nearly eyery one of them think [«fc] that he gives their [sic] hand a, kind of a special squeeze." This Is a sublet sort of flattery, and the wonder Is that the President has become so proficient in It with only an hour's practice a day. No wonder the "lady callers" ge away pleased, evrey one ot them deeming herself specially welcomed by the President's "special squeeze** of her hand. But the gentle men callers do not fare as well. None of them Is sure of a special squeeze, and indeed, it would probably rouse too much envy if anj body were to be epecially favored In that way. The •President knows that the ladies don't Wint office, and so he Is particularly glad to see them; and beside*, it must lie much more interesting to shake hands with a delegation of *iady call- era" than with a delegation of Mis­ souri Colonels or Massachusetts Mug­ wumps even. But wo snppose the Mugwumpe don't like to have the President hands with ordinary people. It's too democratic a habit to suit !. ^^ ̂ v * 1 " rtac the S-: -* t *' & \." f .jr"-;-. hW*®-1"' £> J"--- • TreeeafeveftlM TisMtowiitb fyearamofwe •f the Tovrn ef State eforesaM, ©i received and expended ta •fist1 J1®***. of Mareh, tttO, showing _©» thesis!day _ >BvwraV*M amountof MMM foods en head at the eeanaeaeemeat «r said flsoal year, the amount of public fands re­ ceived, and from wast Sources received, the amennt of pnbtle funds expended, and for what purposes expeued. during the Mid flsoal year ending as aforesaid.

His letter is straight forward and manly, and his course will be en­ dorsed by the people of the state. Here Is the letter: To the committee: It has been more than two months since we first met it joint session for the election of a United States senator, During the entire time we have taken but a fe w ballots, and when wc did ballot it was with almost a positive knowledge that there weuld not be an election. Dur­ ing that ti jae the law required that we should elect or at least make an hon­ est effort to do so. This duty we have not faithfully performed. I am sure a large majority of the members of both parties prefer to do otherwise, but a few scheming members who had not any regard for their duties, have plac­ ed each of us in the unenviable light of obstructionists. It is useless te dis­ cuss why this has been so. The fact remains that it is; and it this fact only that we have now to deal with. It it will kuewn to members of ycur com­ mittee. or at least a number of them, that I have for weeks PROTESTED AGAINST THIS POLICY, and insisted that vigorous measures of some kind should be adopted to pro­ hibit further delays and force the Re­ publican member to be present or fix the responsibility where it belongs, that the people may deal with them In the future. I believe you have hon- Istly endeavored to discharge your duties in this revpect, but have beeu enable to enforce attendance. I desire to say to you now that I am neither In sympathy with the policy that at­ tempts, by desertion or sllehce, to de­ feat the present nominee of the party, nor the policy that would postpone the election of a Senator to the next session of this General Assembly. We have a duty to perform and should at least make an effort te perform it, or acknowledge ourselves incapable of filling the position to which we have been elected. I regard it not only as a betrayal of a trust|coiitlnued to us to purposely defeat the election, but I re­ gard It as suicidal, from a political point of view. Unless something un­ expected should happen the next Legislature will necessarily be close politically. If it should be republican, then the postponement of an election now would probably be excused by re- publl^.ane.Jbut if it should be democratic we would justly be condetned for not making a fight worthy of the party we represent. For these reasons 1 say to you as the representatives of the re­ publicans of this general assembly, I shall consider myself at liberty alter this date to act as my judgment dic­ tates upon this question, at leasn, until ail the republcans are consulted as to our future course. I will not say I shall vote every day, but I will say that all members who desire the election of a republican senater had better be pres­ ent. It is their duty to be here, and If by their absence a democratic senator Uelected the responsibility must be theirs 1 believe there U a conspiracy te defeat an election this session, and I do not intend, so far as I have power, to allow it to succeed. With great re­ spect I am, gentleman, truly yours, , GEORGE TOBBAXQM.
