DUNNE GIVEN OFFICE WITH LITTLESHOW Simplicity Marks Cere mony of Inauguration at the Capital. CROWDS FILL THE CITY Deneen and Successor, With Wives, Ride in Parade in Same Carriage. (S-peclal to The Argus.) Springfield, 111., Feb. 3. Hope de ferred did not make the heart sick in the belated inauguration of Judge Edward F. Dunne as governor of Illi nois today. While the three weeks' suspense doubtless had Its effect in detaining many who would otherwise have attended, thousands of democrats came from all sections of the state, and enthusiasm was not dampened by reason either of the delayed cere mony or the condition of the weather. In ail that attended the coming of Governor Dunne into office democratic simplicity prevailed. The parade was devoid of military display, the first time within the history of the state capital for a generation at least that such a thing has happened. ORDINARY PROCESSION. It was just au ordinary procession, distinguished In Its appearance only by the presence of the retiring gov ernor and the incoming executive and their wives, riding In an open carriage, who, with the other democratic Btate 1 omcer&-6. and their escorts, lent dignity' to the occasion. It was a plain affair, so plain as to be Impres sive. Simple dignity . characterized the Inaugural exercises fn represent-! tlves' hall in the rapitol. The passing of power from the hands of one great pclitica" party to anoJLhgr was nlmost without incident, save ' the political , Fign'fleance that attached. There was j no display and no triumphant acclaim, i It was left lo deeds rather than words to prove the wisdom of the people In giving sanction to the advent of the new regime. HF.VI1MH.II OF AI.TKEl.n. There was a reminder of Altgeld in Governor Dunne's inaugural. The j policies and pledges proclaimed 20 i years before were heard again with ' renewed purpose and earnestness. Gov- ernor Dunne tpoke for the progressive ideals of democracy. He spoke for economy In the administration of the affairs of the commonwealth, and he spoke for honesty in the people's be half. He spoke for the principles on which he was elected and he voiced his own convictions. With manifest courage, honesty of heart and sincere I endeavors he entered upon his great aim re&jioiimuie uubies. There will be no purpose to circum vent the will of the democratic voters of the state In the choice of a United States senator. The talk to the con trary is "bunk" pure and simple. There has been no such design. Col onel James Hamilton Lewis will be elected for the long term, or no one will be elected. BOKXrilE.fftTF.I CANDIDATE. Charles Boeschensteln is a candi date for the short term. In so an nouncing he had made it plain that he would not accept the full term, even if he could win it. He declares with all good democrats that Colonel Ivewls Is not only entitled to It, but has all but the legal right to it by virtue of the primary as well as the general ie'ectlon. So there Is nothing on the : pend two democrats to Washington , t0 represent the state of Illinois In ! the United States senate. MILK PRODUCERS WANT MORE COIN Chicago. Feb. 3.
