As the campaign in the state pro­ gresses the interest widens and deepens. Illinois is now in the full swing of a grand march. Never since 1872 has such a feeling existed. The demands from the various counties for speakers and literature from the republican state central committee shows how thoroughly aroused the rank and file of the party are. The leading features of the state campaign' during the past week are highly instructive. The silence of Gov. Altgeld has been twice broken already. His friends not long ago talked very confidently of his "aggressive cam­ paign," and spoke in a mysterious man­ ner of some remarkable "exposures which might be expected." There have been exposures, but they did not come from the governor. Scarcely had the hurrying and skurrying in the office of the state executive at Springfield ceased over tlie letters of Congressman W. Si Forman, and the demoralization which they had caused been felt in every branch of the state democracy, than Mr. Schurz's speech came. And again Gov. Altgeld felt called on to reply. He will have to reply early and often before he can reach Mr. Schurz's speech, and overtake the speech made the other day at Grand Eapids, Mich., by Postmaster Washington Hesing, of Chicago. Mr. Hesing is not only post­ master at Chicago; he is also an axdent, consistent civil service reformer, a warm personal friend of President Cleveland, by whom he was appointed, and the editor and proprietor of the Illinois Staats Zeitung, the leadingGer man newspaper in the state. Mr. Hes­ ing is an aggressive, independent man of position. He is free to express him­ self, whether Gov. Altgeld likes it or not. The nomination of Mr. Forman by the sound money democrats in place of Gen. John C. Black, declined, is gall and wormwood to the Altgeld-IIinrichseu wing of the democracy. Forman has a bent for "speaking out in meeting." When he was in the state senate, ten years ago he was a member of what was called "The Big Four," a quartette, two of whom were .Henry Seiter, of Lebanon, and Stephenson, of Shelbyville. They never took any stock in the Hinrichsen branch of the party, and the last three years with the "Hickory Hall" domination have not changed them in this regard. To have one of this "Big Four," and that one the particular friend and compan­ ion of Col. William R. Morrison, for­ merly of Waterloo, now of the inter­ state commerce commission, Washing­ ton, chosen to run against Gov. Alt­ geld, has been to make things fairly siz­ zle around democratic free silver head­ quarters. Mr. Hinrichsen is said to construe this course of Mr. Forman as a direct stab at himself. Mr. Hinrich­ sen is the candidate of the free silver democrats for congress from the Jack­ sonville district, as against Gen. Iiina- ker, and is credited with the suspicion that Finis Downing, of Virginia--who thought for a few months that he was a member of congress, but isn't now in it --is ready to see him beaten without, even the formality of a tear. It is charged that, to help the democracy, the employes of state institutions are being assessed for funds to meet the campaign expenses. It is not wondered that the Chicago democratic platform declared against civil service reform. The State Republican League, under the chairmanship of Col. Ira J. Cop­ ley, of Aurora, is in line doing splendid service. The Chicago Business Men's Sound Money club are arranging for a grand demonstration on Chicago day (Oc­ tober 9), the anniversary of the great fire of 1871. Ex-President Harrison will be invited to attend and deliver an address. The Chicago Commercial Travelers' club hold daily noon meetings down­ town. These are held from twelve to •r\e o'clock every week day. Leading speakers address the meetings and the most encouraging results are reported. One of the events of the past few days was the speech of Hon. Bourke Cockran, of New York, who spoke Sat­ urday night, September 12, in the Audi­ torium, Chicago. There were 6,000 persons in the great hall. An overflow meeting in the vast building known as the Battery, was also held, attended by as many 'more. The number of appli­ cations for tickets to hear Mr. Cockran exceeded 40,000. It was notable that- on the same day, Senator John M. Palmer and Gen. Buckner were notified of their nomination by the sound money convention held at Indianapolis. It was also to be remarked that on the same dgty Ex-Senator Edmufids/spoke in Philadelphia to a very large audience on the crisis of the year, and pronounced this election one of the epochs in the life and history of the country. The populists and democratic free sil- verites of Cook county have nominated separate county tickets. There have been numerous efforts to fuse them, but they did not: succeed..--^Two separate conventions and two distinct sets of county nominees are the result. The split seems to be permanent. - The indorsement of the democratic "sound" money nominations of the In­ dianapolis convention by Secretary of V&r Lamon t and Attorney-General Harmon; has tended to further divide tlie democracy. The wings of the party in Illinois are separated beyond union. Democrats, like Mr. Rosette, of DeKalb, who were once very friendly personally and politically with. Gov. Altgeld, are driven away from his ranks, and it is stated that the defection of these stroii g, respectable leader^Of the democ • racy of the state is having an utterly demoralizing effect upon the free silyer- ites. The action a few days ago of the Rochelle fair free silver,directors, in re ­ fusing ex-Gov. John M. Hamilton an op­ portunity to speak, after he had been in­ vited to deliver an address, is further dividing the responsible, sound demo­ crats from the popocratic managers, and adding strength and votes to Mc­ Kinley. and Tanner every day. The country at large is seeing for itself that the claims of democrats flocking to McKinley's flag are true to the letter. Ilere is an incident: On Friday, Sep­ tember 12, 700 members of the Chicago Democratic McKinley club went to Caiiton, O., to call on Gov. McKinley. They spent Saturday at Canton, and returned to Chicago on Sunday. Among the events that will interest many citizens of all classes who are concerned as to the future of the coun­ try may be mentioned the following: Speaker Tom Reed is to visit Illinois aftd will make several speeches in the state. Gen. Sickles, Gen. Siege!,- Gen. Alger, Congressman Guenth<»r, of Wisconsin, and Capt. Tanner speak in the Battery, Chicago, on Monday, September, 21. T. V. Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, is announced to visit Illinois soon and make speches for McKinley and Tanner. , ™ Since the nomination of the demo­ cratic free silver ticket, of Cook county (Chicago), the feeling among local dem­ ocrats has been very bitter toward Gov. Altgeld. It was openly charged that tlie governor not merely interfered in •THE ILLINOIS TANNER." the matter of nominations, but actually dictated them, even to the humblest nomi nee on the ticket. This feeling lia s greatly weakened an already weak ticket, and voters of the free silver democracy give up the battle as hope­ less. They admit that the local fights in the democracy have immensely re­ duced their chances in the 15 senatorial districts of Cook county. When,it was asserted the democrats would elect oue- lialf of the 60 senators and representa­ tive from Cook county, it is now ad­ mitted that they cannot hope to gain more tilian one-third. This state of things is badly stampeding Gov. Alt- geld's political following, who never thought he would be elected governor over John R. Tanner, but had hoped that they might, carry the legislature in jojnt ballot, and thus Illinois send Alt­ geld to tlie United States senate to re­ inforce "Pitchfork" Tillman, Allen and Peffer. The sweeping victory in Maine has added to their already thoroughly rat­ tled condition. They had reluctantly said that Maine would give 20,000 major­ ity, but were not prepared to see Tom Reed elected by nearly that majority. Chairman Hitch, of the state central committee, is in receipt of gratifying advices from tlie Nineteenth congres­ sional district. The republicans there are thoroughly aroused and fully or­ ganized, and are doing enthusiastic work in every county and township. There was a great rally at Paris, Ed­ gar county, last week, ait,tended by dele­ gations from the surrounding country in spite of heavy rains for two days. William E.Mason, of Chicago, and States. Attorne3r I. R. Mills, of Edgar county, made the principal addresses of tihe oc­ casion, and were repeatedly applauded. An effort has been made by the popo- crats to retire from the ticket J. J. Sew- ell, regular nominee for congress in the district, but lie refuses to be side­ tracked. In a circular to voters he says: "You have no doubt heard how the great state committee traded me off after I was nominated for congress by the populists of this district and sold out the entire peo­ ple's party of the district without con­ sulting-any of us. This circular is to advise j you and your friends that I am not to be [ sold or bought off In standing- firm and solid- for honesty in politics I simply ful­ fill the plain duty of every American eiti- | zen. I have worked for free coinage of sil- J ver at sixteen to "one for over 20 years, I ask you to support me In preference to & man of doubtful intent." Congressman Benson Wood, the re­ publican nominee, is making a vigorous canvass of the district* and because of his excellent record in congress, there is ruo reasonable doubt of his return to his seat. There has been a good deal of demand for ex-Gov. Fifer in all parts of the state, and he has made some effective speeches. But for several weeks he was so completely occupied with impor­ tant law business he was not able to comply with many requests to fill ap­ pointments. Republicans everywhere j will be pleased to know he has now buckled on his armor and is in tlie har- i ness to stay to the finish. He will suc­ cessfully meet the arguments of Altgeld on all questions, and wdll take satisfac­ tion in having the opportunity. » Air: "Wearing of the Green." The popocratic party have put Altgeld fn the'lead/ , „ And hope this fall, with John P.'s gall, they may perchance succeed. But there's no use of trying, just as well to step aside, For our man's a Tanner, who will neatly dress his hide. So, come, tell us of the money that you bor­ rowed from the state: Don't wait until w^'ve voted, for then 'twill be too late. Let "Buck" and you tell all the truth; stop making so much noise., . For we are getting tired of you in the state , of Illinois. You are rampant for free silver, yet your n leases call for gold, . Which shows you're only, in it now for of­ fice, as of old; But this fime you will not get there, for • ; the^peopie will decide That our man, the Tanner,will neatly dres3 - your hide, ... ©ur state you've tried to ruin; yes, you've done your very best. . ' Now the voter'll press the button, and John • ..Tanner'U do 'he rest; So you and Buck might Just as well stop making all your noise, - For you'll not be the next governor of the state of Illinois. John R. Tanner, ever loyal, ever to his covin y-y true, His only flag- "Old Glory," with its red and white and blue! For protection and sound money, too, he stands, whate'er betide. He's a Tanner; don't forget it; and will dress John Altgeld's hide. Johnny P., you are nopin it, no, not in it at this time, ^ And your chanc'SsT for election are not worth a single dime. You will learn this in November--that John Tanner has the boys, And he oar governor we'll make him, for the state of Illinois. When election day is over, then good times will come, you see, For McKinley and John Tanner bpth elect­ ed sure will be; And you and Buck will have found out the boys you could not dupe. In the campaign you both were slain and tumbled in th^ soup. Now, dear Johnnie, answer Forman in the charges he has made-- Don't monkey with the people, but Just call a spade a spade; For by dodging of the question you no voters can decoy, And you never will be governor of the good old state of Illinois. COULDN'T STAND BRYAN. Tho Oldest Democratic Paper In Illinois Deserts film for Palmer. The Quincy Daily Herald, the oldest democratic paper in Illinois, formerly the property of William H. Hinrichsen, secretary of state, created the sensation of the campaign by repudiating the platform and the nominees of the Chi­ cago convention and coming out strong­ ly for the nominees and platform of the Indianapolis convention. In its ed­ itorial announcement of its "flop" from Bryan to Palmer, the Herald says: "The Herald has been a democratic paper 61 years. It will remain democratic. The miscegenation with populism accomplished in the Chicago convention was never ap­ proved by this paper, but so long as only Bryan and McKinley were in the field of choice It felt compelled to give the Ne- braskan the weight of preference. But since the day of his nomination in Chica­ go Bryan's democracy has been steadily fading into invisibility, while the popu- listic colors of his creed glare in exclusive prominence. As the campaign progresses it becomes more and more evident that Bryan's only legitimate place is at the head of the populist forces. His Chicago nomination merely advertises the fact that populism is attempting to swallow the dem­ ocratic party. The measure of its success in that great gustatory feat will depend on thfe number of votes saved for true demo­ cratic principles by the unselfish and pa­ triotic movement which resulted in the nomination of Palmer and Buckner by the national democracy at Indianapolis." The action of this old-time organ of democracy will have effect beyond the borders of the city in which it is pub­ lished. For over half a century it has been recognized as one of the leading exponents of democratic faith, and under the editorial management of Austin Brooks, William A. Richardson, John r. Cadogan and other prominent representatives of the party, its ex­ pressions were accepted as pure demo­ cratic gaspel. RAILWAY MEN FOR SOUND MONEY. Capt. John R. Tanner, republican candidate for governor, spent a portion of last week visiting the workshops! and factories^ of Chicago and talking: to the workingmen against free coin-; age. "I was very kindly received every-11 where I went," said Mr. Tanner. "The workmen seemed willing to listen to me, and in a good many places they}! cheered me. I have been led to believe, that the. workmen, especially of Chica­ go, were solid for Altgeld, but I find; they are friendly to me, even if they do not vote for me." ' i Club Organization and Rallies at Sev- erjl important Cities. The Railway Men's Sound Money club at Blooming-ton, a non-political or­ ganization, has a membership of over 1,000. It is estimated that 90 per cent, of the railway employes at Blooming- ton arc for "sound money." A similar | report is given by Freeport, which has ' a club made up of the employes of the j Illinois Central,St. Paul and Northwest- j ern roads, the member? coming fromt both the democratic and republican par- tics. Four-fifths of the employes lo­ cated there have jointd the club and hold weekly meetings. At Aurora a "sound money" league has been formed among the employes in the operating department of the Chicago, Burlington <£r Quincy railroad. Superintendent H. D. Judson, of the Chicago division, as­ sisted in the organization and made a speech which, in view of the charges of coercion of employes, is significant. He said in part: I "I believe that one of the dearest rights accorded to man is the right to vote ex- actly as he pleases. I urge you to studyjthe j question and determine for yourselves where your interest lies, and if, having done this, you decide to vote for Bryan and free silver, I pledge you on my honor that not only will you not be discharged upon so doing, but that you will not be even criticised. " "For my part, I don't think it strange that intelligent workingmen should arrive at the conclusion that what is for their em­ ployers' interest is also for theirs. I do not •think it strange that they should finally come to believe that unless the corporation for which they labor is prosperous they ea|nnot hope to be, and I cannot quite un­ derstand why people should wonder that employers who believe in their men, who keep close to them anc?understand and ap­ preciate their needs, should not, to put it mildly, have as great an interest in them as a demagogue." Grundy Center Tribune: "John R. Tanner is the man who could not make a speech. He's knocking them all out, l^nd if he keeps on he will soon be 'tlie j ifcilver-tongued orator from Clay.' John iX. Tanner will not object to your home imd property being protected by United States troops or any other troops, if in danger. He is fearless, and believes in the right kind 'bf protection. John Tanner "is all right by a large major­ ity, we might say, unanimously," J AN ESTIMATE OF TANK EE Words from Ope Who Served with Him in the Senate. The Direct Opposite of Altgeld In perament. Character and Kespect for Law--His Political Belief. Hon. George Torrance writes the Pontiac Sentinel a biographical sketc'u of Capt. John R. Tanner, in which he- says:- - ;V.'. ' v . V. •' In all positions John R. Tanner hast held he has reflected honor -upon hisf party and state, and his ability audi honesty have not been questioned. He was chairman of the state central com­ mittee, and organized and led the re­ publicans to the-great victory of 1894, and to-day there is no man as much, feared by the anarchists, the believers in riot and the mobs, and the free silver shouters, as John R. Tanner! In tem­ perament, character and respect, fori law and order he is the direct opposite of John P. Altgeld. He has nottheflowl of language of Altgeld, but in honesty* of purpose, judgment and decision isj much his superior. "I served four years with him in tho| state senate and it was during those) 3'ears I formed the respect for himi which I have always entertained. C know his record was for the people; Ma votes always with them. He came from! among them; understood their wants and fought for them determinedly. Whenever an adjournment was had lia> went home, and writh his plow in tho field, his ax in the woods, and his strong! arm at the sawmill, worked to create prosperity, instead of idling away hist time. By a reference to the table oi votes in his race for sheriff, for countyi clerk and for state treasurer, can be seen the esteem in which he is held by his neighbors. "About two weeks ago, with a friend of his, I was seated with him in his room at Chicago. We were talking.oven the campaign, when I asked him what was being done in certain directions^ and I shall never forget his reply. After? answering my question he said: 'B would rather be defeated for governor; than to make any premises to the ene^ mies of law and order to secure their" votes. I shall maintain my self-re-^ spect, though I lose. If I am electedj governor I--shall &ee that every--man,r- wliatever his religion or his politics, hisi nationality or his position, shall be pro­ tected in his rights; and I should feeli it my special duty to guard the rights! of the weak against the strong and see, so far as in my power, that no injustice! is done the laborer, the producer or thei business man, but I will not violate thei law nor falter in my duty." I do notsup- pose I give his exact words, but I do< t he substance, as I took no notes at thei time. This was said without thought! of publication,- and in fact it had nob occurred to me to publish it until since commencing to write this letter. It was, to his friends, an expression of the honest sentiment of his heart. "He is a thorough believer in thafe financial policy which increased the per capita circulation of this country- from $15.32 in 187S, to $24.44 in 1892.; He is against that policy which has de-i creased it from $24.44 in 1892 to $22.93* in 1S95! He is against that policy, nowi threatened, which would stamp $20,-i , 300,000 in silver bullion $40,000,000 in! legal tender free for the owners of thej bullion! He is against cutting the pur­ chasing power of our present dollar in two by reducing it from a '200 centj dollar,' as Altgeld calls it, to a '100j cent dollar!' He is against closing our factories to open those of England;] against foreign manufacturers with foreign labor making what can be made! by American manufacturers with) American labor; against destroying! our home markets to build up the mar-j kets of Europe; against forcing our workingmen to compete with the poor­ ly paid working-men of the old world;} against the free coinage of silver at| sixteen to one with gold. "And to-day, near Louisville, in thej county of Clay, is the old home of John R. Tanner. There, is seen the smallj frame house, built in colonial style,, where he labored from early manhood;; where he was married, his children were born, and his wife died. It is now the residence' of his only daughter. Ai few miles distant he owns a farm of 440 acres, and another near by of 60| acres, composed of fine timber, pasture and tillable land, upon which there is an orchard of 40 acres, unsurpassed in the state. Is ear by. his old home, on the banks of the Little Wabash, stands the old sawmill where he labored for 14 years, now silent, rusting and decay­ ing as the result of democratic tarifS tinkering with fumber a few years ago! From these surroundings camei the man destined to be elected the nextf governor of the state of Illinois byi . the largest majority ever given for thati oflice, as I believe." Minneapolis Tribune: Gov. Altgeld^ in his Springfield speech, says: "The purchasing power of gold has doubled*' and our people are c&liged to pay their* debts in dollars which, as a matter) of facts are 200-ceut dollars. Who gets' the benefit of this?" Why, Altgeld, forj one. Ilis leases oblige his tenants to) pay their rent in gold. If he has faithj in his own prescription for the publid Ills, why does he do this? But if our people are obliged to pay their debtai in 200-cent dollars, do they not, under our present system, also receive, these! same 200-cent dollars for their labor; and theu* products? And is not everyj dollar of American currency, gold,-sil-; ver or paper, of equal purchasings power? If so, how are the people de-j frauded by the present standard? Hon. I. C. Edwards, member at larRT»j af the state central committee, gives! a good report of political prospects'in the Fourteenth congressional district.' He says the divisions which existed! among" republicans of Peoria have allj disappeared, and the party workers &T9j pulling together for victory.
