EDIYOK PLAIN DEALER 4 OL renter with the above heading is being sent ns a campaign document over this part of tho Stato. So (ar as that paper refers to the •tying* or doings ef Governor Oglesbv personally, I hAve nothing to say, well knowing lie needs no defense at nriy hands, nor have I one word to gay against Gov. Hamilton, personally, knowing him as I do to be fully com­ petent to discharge all the duties of tlie high and honorable position he now holds, shonid tlis peoplo of ttiis State see fit to continue hi in there, and in every sense ef the word the highest type or a gentleman. But there are statements In that «fr* cular personally Implicating the friends of Gov. Oglesby who were members of the last Legislature, and placing them In a false position' so far as their ac­ tions there relate to the election of a U. S. Senator. I quote tbe following language found therein: "The selfishness of tlie patrlotio and popular 'Uncle Dick' was shown at the last session of the Legislature, when he and his friends tried hard te defeat Culloui. Oglesby went on the floor of the House and helped tne Democrats to pass a resolution declaring that Cuilom was net eligible for the Senate, and all the Republicans supporting It were Oglesby men. Then after (Juliem was fairly nominated in the caucus the Oglesby men met every night after un­ til tho vote was tftken and tried te get their men to bolt the caucus noaiina- tlon." I confess to having been favorable to Gov. Oglesby in the caucus nominating a (J. 8, Senator, and therefore claim the right to a heaflng so far as the above criticism may be construed to refer to myself. First, then, I deny the faet that •Oglesby went on the floor of the House and helped the Democrats to pass a resolution that Cuilom was qot eligible for the Senate." On the oontrary, I know from pergonal conversation with Gov. Oglesby at his headquarters at tbe Leland hotel that he opposed any such action on the part of his frieQds as the supporting of tho ineligibility resolu­ tions introduced by the Hon. Mr, Her­ ri ngton, 1 lie Democratic member from Kane county. wain i ly nominated In the caucus the Oglesby men met every night after until the vote was taken and tried to get their men to bolt the caucus nomination.11 This statement I also deuy and chal­ lenge proof of its correctness. On the cbnirurv, when 011 the iifth ballot Gey. Cuilom was declared nominated, on motion of Senator Morris tlie vote was ! *y mn<u uiii&Mimsys, f Oglesby man supporting the motion, and it any efforts were made by tbe "Oglesby men" to organize a belt of the caucus nominee tbat fact never oame to tlie kuowledga of the writer and 1 deny that statement also aud here make the assertion tbat Its truth can not be verified, Oue word in regard to Gov. Oglesby "sulking under defeat, and tlie story of "tbe school boy who took bis ball and went homo, breaking up the game be­ cause tliey would not play it his way." and I am done: Gov. Cuilom was nom­ inated on the fifth ballot. The candi­ dates were Cuilom, Oglesby. Rauot aud Henderson, the names of Messrs. Rlna- ker and Payson having b^en dropped after the first ballot. A committee was sent out to invite the'damlfdates to ad­ dress the oaucus. Senator Cuilom spoke first. Gov. Oglesby following, approach ing Senator Cuilom who had taken his seat, and taking him by the hand his first words were ; '"Gov. Cuilom, / con- gralutale you." He then addresfed the caucus, and ooneluding his remarks he> referred to the grave and responsible duties of a Senator, aud declared that "in submitting his uame to tbe Legis­ lature lie realized the magnitude of the labor to be performed. As a citizen re­ lieved of those responsibilities he should remain In private citizenship to stand by the grand old Jinpubtican party? He then returned thanks to the gentlemen who so heartily and cordi­ ally supported him, and "urged a for­ ward movement to victory enco more to bury alt bitterness and disappoint- ments and unite for a common cause.'* If there is anything that sounds like "sulking" I11 that, the author of the cir­ cular in question is the first to discover it. The truth is the friends of Gov. Oglesby supported him fairly' and manfully, the game as .the frieuds of the live other candidates did the man of their choice, and when the result ef the caucus showed a majority iu favor of another, gave him their united sup­ port.

SPRINOPIELD, March 24:--J, Carroll Powers, custodlaa of the Lincoln moan- meat, following the action of tho Sen> ate of the United States,sent President Arthur a dispatch, dated from Lincoln's tomb, saying in substance:--"If you would Immortalize yon rue If in the minds aud hearts of these western sol­ diery, who make frequent pilgrimages to this shrine, veto the Fltz John Por­ ter bill." . As far as known President Arthur baa not yet responded, and all the while Gen. John A. Logan Is being boomed for the Presidency. Logan vs. Treason sad Traitors will be tbe fesne The feeling here Is that should Arthur sign the Fftz John Porter bill and re­ ceive the Republican nomination for President, the next President of the United States will be a Democrat. Western Jsoldlers will Hat endorse one who upholds men l&ho, In the trying hours of the rebellion, found themselves to be traitors, and In consequence caused the sacrifice of so many of their noble comrades. Powers' voice from Lincoln's tomb is the voice qf {Ul the Illinois soldiers. In regard t| ' STATE POLITICS but little has come to the surface ifrlth- In the last week. In our last letter it was stated that the Governor on the Republican ticket would be nominated before tbe "MV were reached In the call of counties, which ef course meant that Oglesby would receive such an en­ thusiastic boom that further calling would be unnecessary, Sangamon coun­ ty is claimed for both oandidates and a boated contest la expected between the respective friends. Hamilton's exhibi­ tion of bad temper towards tho news­ paper men, especially towaris the Springfield correspondents, has not been forgotten, and the recent Inter­ view, published in a Chicago paper, io which he claimed ho referred only to tho State Jtegister, has provoked a re­ vival of tho matter, which Is being worked to Hamilton's serious damage. The machine politicians hereabouts are somewhat discouraged. The flattering prospect of Oglesby's nomination gives them the blues. He has made no prom­ ises. entered into no bargains, and has steadily refused to be a party to any 00mblnation. Tho Oglesby boom seems to be one swelled by the people, #hioh the machine men, those who make pol- smlltan ftt Home" Is hard to Bad. He is continually moving from plaee to place lo the State, talking te soldiers and telling them that ho might liavt been a general,had it bten possible for one who was ouly 13 years of ago #hen the first tocsin of war was soundad. Uon. J. N. Carter, of Qui ucy, ex-mem ber of the Legislature, was in the city last week. He bas been spoken of for Attorney ueueral, but says lie wiii uot be a candidate. Being questioned in regard te the Governorship In Adams county, he said: "Our peoplo are about equally divided," which led this corres­ pondent te conclude that Carter was after all lucliued toward tho Attorney General's ofQoo. Since our last tbero bas boon a largo number of Republican politicians ia tho city, among them being HOB, T. B. Needles, Gen. James Martin, Col. Ike Clements and Gen. Rlohard Rowett. Tbe said gentlemen at once concluded that they were hers for the purpose of sliapiug political matters. Part were for Hamilton and part for Oglesby, The former were very much down I11 the mouth, bat the latter were in high glee and showed a disposition to have created a political machine. The better Republicans, Oglesby's ardent support­ ers, however, protested, olalming that the people had become tired of such work. Oglesby, taiuus a machine, Is their cry. The gossip In political circles here embraces the names of Gen. Rlclisrd Rowett, of Quincy, as one ef the Re­ publican delegates at large from Illinois to the National Convention. In this Congressional district Hon. William Jayne, of this city, will be supported as a delegate. It Is also announced that the friends of 8enator Cuilom will urge his selection as a delegate at large wi tli a view to having liim head the delega* tiou at Chicago. Geu. Charles 15. Llp- plncott aud Gen. Green B. Raum are also spokeu of for delegates at large. Cullum. Rowett, Llpplncott And Raum as headers would no doubt make a good showing for Logan. J. Otis Humphrey, a yaung man of considerable oratories) ability, and an active political worker, Is being urged by his friends for Presidential elector. Col. Jonathan Merrlam, of will no doubt be retained A* member of the State Central Coiiimlltes, These three last mentioned pesltiuiis will bs dlslgnated by the Republican emigres* sionai Convention, which conveues at Petersburg, Menard county, April 0, ILLINOIS' BATTLK JM.AU*.
