G. W. CLARK & SON.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT!
MORRISON CAPTURES THE ILLI¬
NOIS CONVENTION.
Gray's Name First, Bui the Great
Reformer ia the Back¬
ground.
Washington, May 28.--(Special)
■ A Chicago special to the World
says: “Exi Congressman W. R.
Morrison has every reason to be well
satisfied with the result of last weeks
contests in the Democratic Stale Con
ventiou. He won them all. He was
elected to head the delegation to Sti
Louis. He blocked Gan. Black’s
scheme to get the indorsement for
Vice President. He showed himseif
the most poweiful influence in the
Democratic party of Illinois. More
than that he could hardly desire.
“Assistant Postmaster General
Stevenson could have had the nomi
nation for Governor, but he positive
ly refused to take it. Col. Morrison’s
supporters hit upon ex«Gov. Palmer.
They uaited for him the support of
every other candidate, except Land
Commissioner Sparks, and he went
through the convention with a rush.
•‘The delegation to St. Louis, to
the immeasurable surprise of the
Black and Stevenson men, will go
without instructions as to the Vice
Presidency. Under Morrison’s di
rection they will vote for Gray, until
it appears he is not likely to be nomi
nated. In that case they will spring
an Illinois man on the convention.
He is most liaely to be Col. Morri
son himself. Gov, Palmer is a very
strong man, perhaps the strongest
that could have been named. He
will make a rattling canvass whether
he is elected or not.”

J. L. M. writes as follows about
the Stonawalls in Sunday’s Americas
Recorder:
‘•Universal aro the regrets express
ed that the‘pony • utd of the
Stonewalls of Griffin,did not carry off
at least one of the prizes at the toar

if they had beaten our \\ ide-Awakes
Americas would have forgiven them.
T bey coaid have taken the town with
them if tb y had asked for it,and the
knowledge of this fact should and
doubtless will compensate them for
the failure to carry off any of the
