WEDNESDAY, .H'N'E 12, 1895, [n true, old-fashioned style, at McHenry, after rigging up for . the occasion from the many cool and comfortable summer goods we now have in stock. - ELGIN, ILL mm® v.. PJftESIDENTIAL FIGURING According to the estimates of the New York CompM'cial Advertiser, McKinley will have a long lead over all other cau- dates in the next Republican convention. That paper figures that the Ohioan will have 300 -delegates in the convention. It gives Reed 168, Harrison 134, Allison 70 and Lincoln 74. It states ^that the figures given were furnished by national committeemen. McKinleysupport ac­ cording to the paper will come from every section of the count ry the south being estimated as being particularly strong for him. Reed is given the New England states with the exception of Connecticut, which is placed in the McKinley column, and some scattering delegates. Harrison's strength, outside of Indiana, is estimated as being largely in the north, while Allison's following is figured as coming from west of the Mis­ sissippi river, with Georgia aud Rhode Island delegates in addition. Lincoln is givei? the solid delegations from Illinois and Tennessee and fourteen delegates from Kentucky. Morton is given the New York delegation and.nothing more, according to the. Commercial Advertiser, while Hastings, Alger, Elkins, Davis and Spooner are given their respective state delegations. ' The figures as given by the New York paper will have to be revised so far. as Illinois is concerned at least. Lincoln will not have the solid delegation from this state it'he should be a candidate. If any Republican oflllinois has the solid delegation it will be Shelby M. Cullom, C but it is not probable that he will have it owing to McKmley's large and enthusi­ astic following in this state. HOPKINS FOR GOVERNOR- A correspondent oi the Freeport Journal wrote from Springfield last week the following comparsion of Fifer's and A. P. Hopkins' qualifications for Gover­ nor. "In paying a visit bo Springfield at this V. time a Journal reporter finds politics the all absorbing topic of conversation,' and ----party leaders are congregated here from all sections of the state. The presence of Private Joe Fifer in the city is said to be an indication that he would like to be once more Governor, and his admirers say his ambition is sure to be gratified. His visit to Springfield at this time set­ tles all doubt as to his candidacy. • He is very active among the members of the legislature, and while he states to the newspaper men that he is here on legal business, it is a well known fact that he is looking after his political fences, and is asking both senators and representa­ tives for their support. In his confiding way Joe tells them that he is bound to be nominated and they had better get " into the Fifer band wagon early. Not. withstanding this sage advice on the part of the ex-governor, the statesmen here are a little slow in committing themselves. The state convention will not be held for a year and a good many things can happen in a year. Then, too, Congressman Hopkins has many warm friends, and while he is not a pronounced candidate as is Fifer, his friends think he will be in the field before long, and should he become a candidate they do not want to be pledged to , another as­ pirant for that honor.

There will be no admission fee to the hall, it has been decided to put one hundred seats on sale at ten cents each, for the accom­ modation of citizens whose business pre­ vents them from going early, and hence are unable to get a »comfortable seat. Persons who wish these seats kept may have them reserved at the above price as long as the hundred last. However, no seats will be sold after the evening of the 13th. Those' who have flowers or other presents should be sure to have them tabled as there will be but one col­ lection for all graduates. This is for the purpose of saving time.

The Marengo Republican has this to say of his eloquent oration on Decora­ tion day: Of Mr. Spitzer's address we but voice the sentiment of all who heard it in pro­ nouncing it one of the grandest, most eloquent and thoroughly patriotic Me­ morial day addresses ever delivered in Marengo. The speaker paid a magnifi­ cent tribute to the soldier-dead, to the Grand Army, to the J martyred Lincoln, to Grant, Logan, Sheridan and others of the great leaders and heroes of the war in the Union ranks, and his whole speech breathed of a loyalty to the "land of the free" and a love for the soldier that fully merited the tumultuous ap plause which time and again punctuated his utterances and nearly drowned the voice of the enthusiastic young orator In an eloquent peroration that held the audience sDell-bound, he eulogized the old soldiers of the Grand Army, and at its finish there was scarcely a dry eye among the grizzled veterans who occu pied front seats and gazed up at the speaker in silent admiration. He im pressed upon the sons and daughters of veterans the greatness of the heritage that was their's, and to the latter 6aid that no duke, no prince, or marquis from across the sea could bestow on them TARIFF OPINIONS. The new Republican members of the new congress have been polled on the tariff question by a Cincinnati paper. Of the 242 Republicans 105 have expressed positive viewsas to what action congress should take regarding the tariff. Eleven declare for the reenactment of the McKin­ ley law, one for the McKinley tariff on agricultural product^ nine uncondition­ ally in favor of a change, one for reci­ procity, twenty-one for a protective tariff, twenty for a revenue and protect­ ive measure, fourteen for a revenue meas­ ure, three for conservative revision, three for a provision for protection but not a general revision, six for a change as soon as possible, and six for a change to correct the mistakes in the Wilson law. Five favor a change but do not ex­ pect one. One declares for a tariff com­ mission.

The Libertyville Independent has the following to say in relation to the im provements now being made on the grounds of the Lake County Fair, at that place: '•The race course is nearly completed and we venture the opinion, without fear of successful contradiction that it is the best half mile track in the state. It is a level course with long stretches, easy turns, on beveled grades and layed out on the most approved scientific princi pies. There will be a thirty'foot drive all around the outside of the race course thus furnishing access to every corner which will all be occupied ami not an inch of waste space on the grounds. Secretary 0. E. Churchill, who is time keeper and has charge of the carpenter work, with his force has completed 100 box stalls. The Dining Hall is now per­ manently located right at the left of the entrance, is conveniently arranged and will be a valuable privilege. It ought to bring at least §200. All the horse stalls stock sheds will be located at the east end, leaving all the west end and half the north side for privileges and the crowd. The ampitheatre will be enlarged and set opposite the judges stand and fitted up with booths underneath. The Fine Art, Ladies and Agricultural Hall are now on the hill at the right of the gate and will be more roomy, bright and airy than before. 1.
