Tho Democratic Bute Convention met at
Springfield on Thunday, all tho countiea
la the (Ute tending lull delegation! ex-
cept eight, which were in part represented
by democrats present from those counties,
lion. W. A. J. Bparks was mado tempor-
. ., -rt.A i
, F..u....,
thtcnalr, made an eloquent speech, -
ralgaing tno republican party for Its cor.
ruption and extravagance,
and cztravacAnce, and on tho
prohibition question maintaining that the
democratic party believed In the liberty of
the individual man and would not attempt
to dictate what a man should eat, drink or
wear. 0
After appointing the usual committee en
credentials and organization, tho conven
' tion took a recess to 3 o'clock.
On re assembling the cominlltco on cre
dentials reported all tho delegates In at
tendance reeular. Tho committe on or.
ganlzation reported in favor of John M
Palmer for permanent chairman, and was
accordingly unanimously elected. W. J.
Mizc, of Moultrie, was elected secretary,
with J. J. Crowley, Joseph C. Mackln mid
Phocion Howard as assistants. Governor
Palmer's speecn on taking the chair was
abort, but pointed and energetic. He
branded the republican paity, with its ex
travagant appropriations and llubbell
assessments, as no better than a company
of bandits, while Arthur wns disgracing
himself by coIhc about followed by
snobs.
Then a HiiotiHt minister was invited to
invoke the Divine blessing on the proceed
ings, and tins was his prayer:
O Lord, wo beseech Thee to save us from
the devil. O Lord God, we beseech Thee
to savo us from the star route and other
thieves unon our public treasury. O Lord
Almightv, we beseech Thee to save us from
Republicanism. For Christ's sake. Amen.
For State Treasurer Major Alfred Oren
dort, of Springfield, was nomniatid by tie
clamation. For School Superintendent
eight candidates were presented, thochoieo,
on the second ballot, falling upon Professor
Henry Raab, of St. Clair. Frank Hall re
ceived but 33 votes. Tho truth is, the
nomination of Raab, who is a splendid
man, was made largely to help Col. Morri
son m his fight for congress in the
St Clair district.
A state committee, was appointed, cob
aistiug oi one member from each congres
sional district (A. J. O'Connor from
this district), and tho following for the
elate at large: V. G. Mizc, J. H. Obcrly,
S. Corning Judd, Wm. 11. Green, Herman
Lieb and J. W. Copplnger. Thecommlt-
has appointed J. II. Obcrly chairman, and
fixed its headquarters at Chicngo.
The platform (which we shall publish in
full n our uext), rcailinns the lundaiuental
principles of the democratic party as those
of equal rights for all, free speech, free
press, etc.: declares in favor ot an houesl
civil service reform ; deuounccs tno reck
less extravagance of the republican party
in the statu and nation ; expresses sympathy
for the Irish people; declares m favor of a
reduction of federal and stale taxation and
a revision ot the present tariff: an J on the
prohibition question resolves as follows:
1 bat. while wo have no purpose to in
terfere with just laws in torce in Illinois
for tho regnlation of the traflio in Intoxi
cating liquors, and conceding the right ot
tho neonle to an nmaiiiltniMit. if nirik.nr
"of such laws, to prevent or Correct theevili
to society growing oat of the abuses la the
use ot intoxicating liquors, this convention
declares that It is not the legitimate prov
ince ot government to control tho habits,
tastes, appetites and liberties of the people
so long as they are peaceable and orderly,
and do not encroach upon tho rights of
otners or 01 society ; and we therefore de
dare that prohibition, by constitution or
by general laws, of the manufacture or sale
of vinous, spirituous, or malt liquors
wouiu oe in violation 01 individual and
personal rights, and contrary to tho funda
mental principles ot tree government.
CULLEN-MAYO.
To judge by the Ottawa Republican and
tho little Times tho good republicans of
this county are in a tempest of excitement
over tho strife between Mr.Cullcn and Mr.
Mayo to get tho county delegation to the
congressional convention. The truth how-
ever is, that except among tho leaders in
Ottawa, and a few preachers, tho fcclinr
...... I
mrougnout tho county is one of singular
Indifference, very little concern being felt
as to tho success of either aspirant. On ac
count of this indiflercuce, it is hard to tell
which, is ahead, both candidates, in private
talk, assuming the serencst confidence of
being entirely euro ot the county and that
Jbe other fellow is nowhere.
1 he Uttawa correspondent of the Chicaeo
Tribune, who affects to keep tho outside
... ' I
workl posted as to the progress of tho fight,
regards it as close, but is quite sure, which
ever beats, there will be no bolt of tho noin
inniion by the defeated "faction," but all
win stand by the nominee. "The danircr "
however, he says, "lies in a sentiment
which seems to be gaining ground that the
anti-prohibition clement of the county are
trying to forco both of the old parties to
piace oniy such men on their ticket as ar
Known to be oneu v nnnomul ir ..,i.:
bition movement, or at least indifferent
.
concerning it. This seutiment is stimulaL
ing a retaliatory movement on the sido of
the prohibitionists. Nor is it all confined
to the prohibition party. Tho remark has
been frequently heard that if the party puts
a man in nomination simply because of his
Lit:,.. - .
ou....,, u uibw s popular vole from the
"whisky element" then they the prohibi
tionists will repudiate the nomination
and vote for some other man or not at all."
If there is "danger" to tho republicans
in the nomination of a candidate "opposed
or indifferent to prohibition," tho danger
la upon them if cither Cullen or Mayo is
nominated; for Cullen is so "indifferent"
that he thinks prohibition has no business
in politics whatever, while Mayo 'is an out
spoken anti-prohlbitionist and relics ou
that fact for a large proportion of his sup
port. It may be as well, however, to say, that
however "dangerous" the thrcatenings of
the Proliibitionigls may be to the republi
cana, the democrats build lew hojies on such
dissensions. In spite of its cowardice and
multitudinous hypocrisies on tho subject,
the republican parly is at heart for prohl
bition, and only awaits its opportunity to
proclaim itself as such penly. The "Ism"
is as ingtain ia the creed of that party u.
any other ot Its cumerous paternalisiic aoT .
hypocritical "God and morality" preten
siona. With the democrats, on
the Other
'
hud, opposition to prohibition legislation
M equally ingrain, on the cardinal Jeflcr
isnlan principle that "that Government 11
tost which govern least," and that it enn
J injurious only on the part of govern
men to interfere with the personal ttutut
and habile oi the people what they mmll

beautiful buds. The crown of all, however,
was the gift of the Farragut Boat Club, of

The ceremohy took place in the frent parlor,
In the same spot where all of Mr. Hossack's
live daughter's have been married, Miss Beile
being the lait, the first of the ssrics taking
place 27 years ago. Tho chief floral design,
under which the couple stood during the

At a maetiner nf the Business Men's Asso
ciation held on Tbursdar niht a report was
received from the committee appointed to in
Tcitipate the Simpson boiler project. They
reported that ao far aa they were able to jude
the boiler appeared to be a good one. At any
rate, no serious objection was made to it bv
members of the committee comnetort to
judo of its merits. Aa to the demand fer
the boilers (and engines, which it was aug.
pestad should be mad in connection), they
were, of coarse, unable to determine. Mr.
1'itts, who is very- enthusiastic In his ouinion
of the boiler, Lavioic himself Invusled some
tnoner in them, was of the oninlon that the
demand would equal the supply a shop of the
size contemplated could produce; and taking
Mr. Simpson's figures aa te cost of produc
tion and value of product, a very handsome
margin of profit remained. The nronosition
of the gentlemen is a fair one, they taking in
value of patent and casb one-half the i40.Om
capital and waiving all claims to oillee-bold-lng
in the company, (except that Mr. himp
son ought to be superintendent of the shops,
STilacc he ia no doubt able to till couipe.
tently), the local stockholders having the
right to elect the president, secretary and
treasurer, and control the nianairement. A
committee, consisting of Messrs. T. I). Cat.
lia, 8. E. King, K. W. Buchanan, J. K. Shaver
and A. I.yach, was appointed to solicit sub.
scrlptions of stock. It was thought that the
option held tiy Messrs. fmith and 8impson
on the building here was worth something,
and that a company could safely be orgaulr.cd
to take the shops and run them. The loss on
the boiler, should it prove a failure, wouid be

Coming Kreuta.
The piece for next week Is "Twenty Pays;
r, Buffalo Bill's Pledge," a new play, with
plutity of bowie knives and pistols, wrlttea
fr the famous Iliill'ulo Bill, who will produrs
It at the Opera House ou uext Thursday, the
14th. Ho will be accompanied by his usual
company of Indians, and do the sensation In
the correct style. It is needless to say he
will have a crowded house.
The event of tho season, however, Is the
appearance, on Tuesday, the l'.Hh, of Marga
ret Mather as Julitt. Ottawa Is especially
favored In this by Mr. Hill, for Joliet and Ot
tawa are the only smaller towns that will be
able to hear ber for a long tlmu to come, her
route being to Indiiiiinpois, via l'eorla, and
thence to the great cities only.
The amusement luring public need hardly
be told who Margaret Mather Is, notwith
standing her first stage appearance was onlv
on Aug.'JStb, 1SSJ Miss Mather is one of the
very, very few people In this world who scale
Parnassus with a hound. She was "ilieov
ered" by Mr. Hill, and when be iniide i,is ar
raiue'iunts with heretic hud never been on
the stage. Shc l.ad some loeul Dole as a
reader, and a year or more ao began her
studies, learning stage "business" with Iha
t'r.mktl and company, though no pai l of
it. Before her appearance at all she was
lauded to the skies as the gicab'st Juli. t of
Ihe century, eVc.Ac. Strange to sny, sin
has lived up to her laudation, and the critics
of the daily press announce that, though not
without faults, she is unqiii's'lonahly the
Jiiltit ii I rjtifllnuf of the American stage;
and that though In point of fai t she is but a
beginner, her work slums all tho care and
perfection of a veteran. As the Inter (..ni
says: "Miss Mather gives a better and more
evenly distributed performance o' the part
than any one else we bine ever witnessed,
for not alone Is she equal to the sweet slm
pliclly, the girl;h Ingenuousness and Ihe
loving passion of the earlier scenes, nut bis
the magnetic force, Ihe tragic power, and the
emotional expression to dcline and portrav
the lntener scenes which fellow nftcr and
n aeh to the mournful close of the plnv."
She Is a little woman hiirdlv a woman vet,
In fact, of Via poiiuils welgt.t, nut particu
larly pretty, and certainly not beautiful. She
dres.-is In the most magnificent manner, and
It is said to be tha fact that "Itomeo ami Jul
let" has never In America been so well and
so correctly dressed as is Mr. Hill's. Wo may
have more, to say on the subject, but can now
promise a rnre dramatic tieut in this enter.
