The Press has both named the issue of this year's campaign and predicted the result. The people want protection and will declare for it by an overwhelming majority. The malformed and mon strous thing called Wilsoniem will be cast into outer darkness. Republican State Convention. John R. Tanner for Governor; The' Republican Stntl Convention; which was held at Springfield last week, was one of the most exciting ever held in the history of the State. Heretofore One day has been sufficient to do the busi­ ness necessary, but* this time the close of the first day only found the convention fairly organized and fully two days were occupied in its proceedingand it was late on the night of the second before an ad­ journment was made. . As was said by an exchange, "although the ambition of the McKinleyites was thwarted in the opening of the conven­ tion it was only a natural, result that the popular will of the people should be recognized $nd the name of Wm. McKin- ley, of Ohio, he placed at the head of the Republican column of t he State of Illi­ nois. The Hon. Shelby M. Cullom had a strong following but he has never had "the popular support of the people." The nomination of John It. Tanner for Governor, and W. A. North-cotl; for Lieutenant Governor, Was what had been conceded by most of the people for pome months past, and the State ticket which they are to head next November canuot be otherwise than a sure winner. The following is a complete list of the nomi­ nations : . ' A - * v '" t •'. ' For President. ....Win. McKink'y For Delegates-at"Large...Robt. W. Pat­ terson, Win, Pehn Nixon, Jos. W.

While the money plank is not as strong as we could have wished, it cannot be mis­ construed : We, the Republicans of Illinois, are un­ yielding and emphatic in our demands for honest money. We are opposed, as we ever have been, to any scheme that will give to this country a currency in any way depreciated or debased. With McKinley the nominee for Presi­ dent and the above strong Stare ticket, Illinois can be set dowji for 150,000 Re­ publican majority in November. -XXheafiJlxoarglfms-to the We-at-Rid Son!h- On April 21 and May 5, 1896, the Northwestern Line wil sell Home Seek­ ers' excursion tickets, with favorable time limits, to a large number of points in the West and South at very low rates Eor tickets and full information apply to agents Chicago ik Northwestern R'y. 40 w 4 $ I 50 Op IN GOLD GI VEN For Selling11 Story of Spain and fcuba " -TlH>^!i^rivational News & Book Co., Baltimore, Mdk, offer $150 to anyone selling in three months 175 copies of their new book, "Story of Spain and Cuba.'* Premium and liberal commis­ sion given for any quantity sold.

Seems to us that Thomas Jefferson ought to be taken care of nest.--Chicago Dispatch, , Perhaps he w ill be endorsed by the Democratic National convention --Troy Press. A party as dead as the Democratic party is just now might as well have a dead candidate. The living man who tackles the Democratic nomination this year will be buried in November. tesT'Perhaps relief for our farmers through enhancement in prices of their products, mu6t come by indirection. 11 all the trades and industries of the country are revived and the masses who seek toil are given work and wages the demand for farm products will be so in­ creased as to give them better values. It is not the comparatively few rich peo­ ple who make good times; but the many poorer ones, who spend money freely when they earn it readily. The,, confi­ dence of the capitalist in good money is a means to an end. He must be induced to risk his capital in enterprises giving employment to the many. Wooed Wheu 123 Years Old, Was Jilted, Yet Lived Seven Years Longer. Two remarkable cases of longevity were recalled recently byta conversa­ tion between several gentlemen in this city,says the Shelbyville Gazette. They were, discussing the death of Rev. George McCall, the veteran Baptist preacher, when it was authentically stated .that Mr. McCall's great-grand­ father lived to the ripe old age of 127 years. lie was a bachelor at 300 and took a notion to get married. He car­ ried out his idea and was married. Three sons were born to him, and he lived to see the oldest son old enough "to vote. This was considered remarkable!., but a gentleman in the crowd, whose character and standing religiously and socially are above reproach, told an authentic account of the life" of his great-uncle, who was one of Georgia's pioneer citizens. This old gentleman lived to be 130 years old. He lived in a log cabin, in the northern end of which was cut a spuare hole. The old man turned the head of his bed to that hole, and slept that way in the warmest and coldest weather. His wife died when he was about 90 years old, and for manyr years he lived as a widower. At the age of 115 he cut an entirely new- set of teeth, and at the age of 123, one morning, he saddled his own horse, sprang into the saddle, and rode 30 miles to address a widow and to ask her to be his wife. He evidently was re­ jected for he rode back that day and lived seven years longex. REPAIRING Promptly done and in a workmanlike manner. of the best quality made, put in for 50 cents and warranted. JOHN P. SMITH. McHenry, April 28, '1890. I. • IS^A Democratic exchange contends that because Andrew Jackson was a pro. tectfohist the Democratic party is now in favor of protection. But the party of Jackson has been so transmogrified since • his time that "Old Hickory" wouldn't recognize it if he were to rise from his grave. Jackson demanded "adequate and fair protection ' that "our own man­ ufactories and laborers might be placed on a fair competition with those of Europe.", But the Democratic party to­ day stigmatizes protection as "robbery of the many for the benefit of the few," and insists that tariff taxation should be for "revenue only.', tSTOne of the shrewdest politicians in . the Republican party, an Indiana ,man, who achieved a national reputation dur­ ing the first Harrison campaign, but who has feince retired from politics and devot­ ed himselt to the practice of«4aw, was asked, says Walter Wellman, for his pri­ vate opinion of the ante-convention cam­ paign. "One of the candidates," said he cautiously, "has something like .350 votes dead certain to start with, accord­ ing to the admissions of his opponents. He is also tjbe second choice of about400 ' more. To win he will need 450. All I nave to say, is that if his managers do not nominate .him under these circuni1^ stances they will do well to retire from the field of politics iforevermore." JOHN J.
