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-. 3traten that, the g .od people of Georgia are not to be influenced bv abuse and misrepresentation. With the average ci'izen of this great commonwealth abuse is not. 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 ment wi'h decoy candidates.—New York Journal The Fourth Congressional dis trict gave Gov.

Dr. Carl I’.-teis, tne explorer, is *aia to have left Germany for good and to have l*sft directions to have all his affairs there wound up, since, the sentence of Herr Schoder, 'he East African admin istrator, to fifteen years’ imprison ment at hard labor for brutali’y to the natives. * If there is one man in Si. Louis, „ho knows anything about the strength of the free coinage senti ment in that e : ty it is Dugald Crawford, th** millionaire goldbuz dry goods mercl.a -t who discharg ed twelve of his employe* for be ing advocates of free coinage. He was only a day in discovering tha» if he wanted to continue in busi ness be would need those very free silvei fellows, and he quickly apol ogized. He did lot* of good for Bryan, however, before the apology came. —Columbus Ledger. The New York Sun tells this one of.the Hon. Ti n Campbell,who is running for Congress there; “ ‘Fellow citizens,’ he ‘ye s have har-M toime*, nut vote for McKinley’n Tim Campbell an’ilict thim, an’, mar-rk me wor-r-ds, th’ pararies’ll b ossom loik th’ rose, an ( th’ face of th’ whole country’ll become loike th’ vargin forrest.’ “G’wan.

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.
