Resolu­ tions were adopted denouncing the which have proven such R com- plete failure, ami demanding that the "thirty-third General assembly should pass better ones,- An executive., com- tnittee of fifteen was appointed to pre­ pare a bill inconsouance with the er- pressed desire of the conference, and a Organization of the State Road Associ- on was effected.--Ex- 5 * , SSTEx-Governor Ri« ihard J.Ogleslty been spending a day or two In t. ;v, this city on private business, and iias had a warm greet lug from many of ^ * Ills old friends here, who have ji very £?•"« 'warm respect for the veteran soldier iV ; *nd statesman. As r«*2ards the United ip- States Senatorsliip, lie says he is a can- & •. dldate in the sen$e of being entirely fe „ willing to accept it if elected. If the p < " Republicans of the State a', large had |,V ^ an opportunity to decide the questitfU 8 *>* by popular vote. Governor Oglesby . would be elected as successor to Divid Davis by ail overwhelming majority. There is not a more popular man In the State, nor one who has done more either for the State or for the Repub­ lican party. It is not too much to say that the series of strong argumenta­ tive and telling speeches made by him In various parts of the State during the late campaign, did more to save " Illinois to Republicanism than the efforts of ony other man who took an active part in that campaign. The Legislature wonld not go amiss if it should elect our gallant and popular •"Uncle Dick" to the Senate.--Jotwfiat, THR S ITIOS'S MONKV, According to a statement of the comptroller of the currency, the aggre­ gate of metallic and pap«r currency in this country on the fir«t of the present month was•1,488.838.554, as follows: THK WNSTITI'TIHN TI s. SRNATUR. Article V. Section 5 »»f the Constitu­ tion of this state pr ivides that "Neith­ er the governor, lieutenant governor, auditor of puhlfc; accounts, secretarv of state, superintendent of public Inatruc- ttoif nor attorney general shall be eligi­ ble to any other office during the period for which he shall have been elected" Yet Governor Cnllom a*id Lieufenant Governor Homilton are both candidates for United States' Senator, notwithstanding the fact that the period for which they were elected as governor and lieutenant governor, respectively, does not expire for two years to Cf»me. When they were in­ augurated Into their present office# they each, with uplifted hand, took an oath to "support the constitution of the state of Illinois." Are they doing so? A United States Senator can only, he elected by the votes of a majority! of the members of the General As­ sembly. These members of the Gen­ eral Assembly before they take their seats, ami enter upon their official du­ ties, must, take and subscribe an oath (or affirmation) to "support the*eonsti- tution of the state of Illinois." (Const. 1870. Art. 3 Sec. 5 ) How can they jus­ tify tliemselves|hefore their constftu- ents, and before their own consciences, in violating and ignoring a plain pro­ vision of that constitution, by voting for either Cullom or Hamilton, or any other state officer who. hv the terms of tire constitution, are ineligible to any other office '.'during the term for which they shall have been elected ?"' There can be no exeiwe for thus ruthlessly violating the.; constitution. Section 5 of "article 5 was put there for some purpose. The framers. or that consti­ tution donhtless believed that when anyjnnn aspired to. and was chosen to fill any one of these state offices, he ought to be required to serye out his * • time^ and that, he should be. prohibited . from prostituting his high office for personal aggrandizement and political advancement.. They doubtless intend­ ed that the chief officers of the state government should not be permitted to use the patronage of their ollices. to secure' votes for themselves for any iOther office. We do not charge that this has been done. but. any one Ha see how it might be done, if. in the midst of his official term the Governor of' the state should be eligible to a higher office, within the gift of the General Assembly. The. executive'and legisla­ tive departments of the state govern* ment are co-ordinate. Not only does the constitution prohibit the Governor from taking ouy office from the Gener­ al Assembly, hut Sec. 15 i*rt. 4 of this same constitution provides that "No person elected to the general Assembly Shall receive any civil appointment within this state from the Governor * the termjfor which he shall [jjmXL been electnd.*' Showing eoucn^flKfthe Intention that each is to be^jBcly Independent of thP other airr not onlv shall the General c AUCTION SALE.
