ILLINOIS SAFE.
I
In all tl»econflicting statement
of political condition* in Illinois
one fact stands out prominently.
«nd that is the solid popularity o
Governor Altge d with the mas*e»
of the State.
This popularity means Votes for
the D tnocra ic party, becausei i
not founded upon a fancy which
may vanish in a day, but upon u
firm f undation o' proved wisdom
and honesty in the ada.inis' ration
of State government. The admin
istiat'on of Governor Altge’d. in
mark'd contrast, with Republican
rule, is the gmrran'ee to the peo
ple of I linois of the efficiency and
the in egri y of Democratic gov
eminent. It has given to the II j
tiots people a taste of the economy
and sound administrative judge
ment which has established and
maintained the faith of th** people
of Missouri in the Democratic
party of this State.
Our neighbors acr as the river
find at the close of the Democratic
administration every institution
Jn the State and every department
of public business in better con
dition than when the Democracy
went into power. Not only have
they seen the Democratic admin
istration attempting great reforms
a,'feeling the welfare of the p u c pie,
such as the equalizatiou of tax
ation and the prevention of tax
dodging, hut they see practical
I *»nd beneficent reforms accom
plished. <
This record is a t >wer of
stre. gth in the Democratic cam
paign . It adds the evidence of ex
perience to the force of conviction.
It convinces the peoph? who favor
th* movement of the Democratic
party that performance fellows
Democratic promi es and that the
men at th** beau of it in Illinois
can be intru*ted with the interest
of the peoble.
The- demonstrations attending
the tours of Mr. Bryan and of
Governor Altgeld, taken with the
unmistakable signs of the st mi
ni nt of the people, give emphasis
to the remark of the overnor
hat nothing but H nna boodle
stands tn th? way of Democratic
-access in Illinois. There is good
r isoii to believ*- that the majority
>f honest citizens supporting the
Democracy this year is too great to
be overcome by the vote which
Hanna can control with boo lie.
The late election again dem n-.

irztrnent. The peop'e know and
discern the truth and they are not
easily to be led away by misrepre
rentation. That candidate who
would aeh'eve success by heaping
opprobrium upon the h-ad of Ins
opponent but digs the grave of his
own poli'ical carcass.—Black,
shear Times.

More often than not the man
who is constantly prating about
the “ring,” is one who is so un
popular personally that he can
never get into office; hence, he
lays the blame on the “machine”
instead of his own unpopularity,
where it rightly belongs.—Chat
tooga News.
Judge J' el Branham, of Rome,
has announced his candidacy for
the supreme court. Judge Bran
ham. by reason of his ability and
popu arity, will make a strong
race, and there is little doubt
his election.—Brunswick Tinies.
The fa'e of Tom Watson in
Georgia and the lack of interes- in
the campaign of Palmer and Buck
ner indicate quite clearly that the
people are in no mood to experi

The Fourth Congressional dis

Wright a majority, and that by

of.the Hon. Ti n Campbell,who is

Sirdar Kitchenei’s return io
C iiro indicates the abandonment
for the pr sent of the Anglo-Egvp
tian Nile expedition. Il will prob
ably be claimed that the anounerd
object of the expedition, the recon
qu st of Dongola from the Mah
dists, having been accomplished,
there was nothing else to do; but
it is very clear that m the present
instance British military po icy on
the Nile has been obliged to yield
to considerations of diplomacy,
'■real Britan has too many irons
n 'he fire to run the risk of being
embarrassed by a complication in
the heart of Africa. She has need
o her whole military power at
other points where the interests of
her Empire may be more vitally
affected.
