Ijv Governor Yates lias brought about a sin
gular condition Tor the first time In the
history or the party there Is no active,
earnest, outspoken candidato for a State of-li.-e.
It nnv b srld that Senator Ix-n Small or
Kankakoc is In the race, but his candidacy
Is not regarded is since As the represent
ative or the State administration Mr.
Small's chances coull not amount to a,
rush, anl the leaders in the anti-administration
camp do not consider it worths of
serious notice. Mr. Small will accomplish all
he contemplates 1)5 rurnl-lilng an excuse for
no Instructions on the senatorial question.
The Governor and Mr. Lonmer hue been
grievously disappointed at the frigidity with
which Congressman Hopkins has been re
ceived throughout the State. The Governor
has hul agents at every one or the Con
gressman's receptions and a faithful report
was given hltn of each The nimes of all
who called and their manner toward the
Aurora siitcsniiii were convejed to the ex
ecutive eilllco in this ciu within twelve
hours after the reception concluded In this
wax the popularity and strength of .Mr.
Hopkins was accurate! gauged and h'
chances of helping the Governor and Mr.
I-orlmer in their battle for control of the
parts closely estimated.
Mr. iilvcl's Objection.
All Governor Yatos'! appointees did not
ngree on the Hopkins pr. position Claronco
E Snlvelj, C'.vnil Commissioner, entered .1
vigorous rrotest when it was first men
tioned Mr Snivelv spoke with tmph ists.

by his denunciation of the plan to have "-m
administration candidate for Senito-"
It us" urgid Mr. Snlvelj, go out and
ci'iral a in ijoritv of the li'-lature llrst
Wo can tlo that with east and without
arousing the suspicions of the other f 1
li.v.s. If we can secure control of the
House and Senate the devil himself c.inaot
beat us on the senatorship If we make a
choice this carl it mni.s an open light,
am' it is alnavs i.ndirlnhlo from en ad
ministration standpoint I predi. t that the
support of the administration will awakin

The truth is. candidates for Supiemft
Court cbrk for htste Treasurer and Stato
fcupcrinte-ti'lent of l'libllo Instruction are
timid in announcing thenisUves Most anv
bodj can get encouiagemeiit from Governor
ates nnl Mr l.o-imer. but it is an absolute
certainty that that faction will have little
to suj in th.; State Convention Speaker
Sherman and his faction w 111 domin ite the
eoi.vtntion from the minute Sherman takes
the gavel In hand as lemporarv chairman
until sine die adjournment.
The Sherman-Davves-Cullom faction are
not bothering themselves about the State
olllces. Their llrst duty, a i declared b one
of the loaders to-da. is to "smash ates
and Lorimer." This crowd evinces an in
tense determination to punish the Governor
und his bestfriend so unmercifully tint
thoy v HI not (be recognlzablo in tlie cam
paign of ISiH After all tho countv conv en
ttons aro huld. the Sherm in-Dawes-Cullom
fllement can take account of stock in I sten
ts -four hours and agree on u State ticket
that will be Invincible in the convention.
There has been fome gossip about former
Statfl Treasurer r K Whittemorc of
Hprinpfleld as tli emdidate of the Cullom
arowd, but nothing definite urn be obtained
from ony of the ieidero on the subject
Curls Mamer of Chicago pn sent Cleik ot

the moat remunerative office in the State,

an officeholder for the last twenty ars
hasn't misfcd a da on State or Federal
pay roll. He represents the most vicious
phase of Chicago politics, and If he ever has
lifted an ounco for his party in State or
nation, the facts have been cirefully con
cealed from men in tiie pirty who have
ben liberal contributors of time and monej
in the causo.
Clerk Mnnier' "Inll "
It alwajs has been a eleep mjstery to
country politicians how Mamer hangs onto
the good things, and whreln lies his "pull."
It is a matter of congratulation that neither

The proposed combine started eMrly last

the brokers of the Central Illinois section
? the broom-corn belt were going to buy
109 tons each ot brush, which would be the
same as cornering the supply. This corn
was to be held until the first or April and
then dumped onto the m inuracturers. Manjj
of the brokers rerused to enter the scheme,
as they did not want to get J10.000 tied up
In brush with the uncertainty or realizing

sel has been so confident ho could establish.
Miss Burns's movements have been traced
from the office of Brooks to a point where
ho and the joung woman were Quarreling
in the street; from there to tho hotel, and
from the hotel to her home. In that In
terval she was seen four times, and each
time in a different place, according to tho

bridge. Miss Burns has stated that she left
Brooks In his ofllco at about 6-20 o'clock
on Krlda evening, went directly to the
bridge, where she took a. train for home
and arrived there about 7 o'clock.
This account of the young woman's
movements on the night In question was
not made officially by tho District Attorney
to-day, as he would not discuss any ot tho
details or the ease.
All that could be learned there was that
the case against her was "much stronger."
Arthur Weible. a conductor in charge ot
the train which left the brldgo at 11 13 sas
ho saw the joung woman on his train on
I'rielay night and that she reached her
home, which is a stone's throw from the

Wclblc. with two other conductors, em
ploed on the same line, were examined by
District Attorney Schurman to-day.
The preliminary hearing vIU go on beforo
