He made first hit with the audience in that Haitian city, the Wabasha. "I judge Bell said he was proud to resent the district which gave to lilius the best Governor, the state capital," Cusat said. Judge Bell called for Twenty-Second district. He referred the Altgeld administration as not being sadd with robbing the state pentarieties, and with robbing the state banks. He said then Chicago and "Egypt" hands and elected John R. Tanner, and was done well.

Mr. Prake told how he absorb a Reconstruction forty-one years ago, while stand-alone voters listening to a speech by Ham Lincoln. the Seventeenth district was represented by T. Taylor of Decatur. He said: "Sound evidence of strong standing of our state administration over the door of Cuba, all of which was by a wise Republican administration." M.

Coltonashington, the state administrator of Tampa. General John I. Rinker spoke for the Sixth district.

Judge Eibridge Haney was the first of the Gubernatorial candidates to address the meeting. The Cook county men gave a hearty welcome to him. He said: "Mr. Chairman and Fellwil Republicians: It is a matter of congratulation to the people, not the Republicians alone, but the people of the state of Illinois, that so many representative Republicians, men and women, have left their homes and come to this love feast, and to this convention, and not a love feast. The men in the district, and not to represent their district; and the great state of Illinois will name the next ticket that will be elected, and will help to carry into power since the days of President Lincoln, more the best President that this country has ever had." (Amblare) "You have heard so much eloquence here today that it is about time the talking homes and the衣着 allowed to go back to your homes and to the clean party. So far as I am concerned as a candidate before the people of this great state, I am satisfied, and my friends are also satisfied. I have delegated 561 delegates, has come down here and done what never was done before—presented a candidate for the highest office in the United States. Presidency alone except—the Governor of the state, the mayor, the gentlemen have been skeptical as to what that means. Some of you fear that because Cook county has become powerful politically, the governor of the state has marketed it or a state great, the balance of the state will not receive its fair share of recognition from the executive of this state, who is named the delegate from Cook county. "Upon that you delegate from Cook county, speak, because that delegation of 561, with the others from the surrounding counties, same the next Governor of the state of Illinois, will treat the state that man will treat the balance of the state of Illinois when he comes down here to springfield and goes into the executive man, who then enters the statehouse of the great state. "No man, while or black, who goes to the executive mansion or to the statehouse will have anybody in it. (Applause.) It will not be necessary for you to send your card by a lively page or by anybody else, except by hand of the man who calls to enter. (Chers.)" "I expect to meet you gentlemen, and the ladies, too, during the coming campaign. I do not expect to meet you in the next Republican convention for the high office of Governor of this great state. I intend to be needed for the election which will take place next November. I expect you that you have been especially fortunate in having such great and good men as candidates as the man who comes from the Elevator. I expect you to be the great Governor of Illinois, Richard Yates. (Applause.) The only regret I have here is that they cannot have as many defenders of the state and in the southern part of the state from Cook county will have. (Laughter.) "But my motives in that must be selfish. I cannot give it to them and keep it myself. I would be come to the Mr. Yates did last night who presented 150 of his friends and stood them he had introduced every one of them. But I want to say publicly to Mr. Yates that when he comes to the executive mansion I will now him all through it (Great laugher). He will have to come to the name, his position, his ability, and that his able conduct have earned for him from every respectable, reputable Republican in the state of Illinois. I have said about Mr. Yates is true of Congressman Reeves. He has been the best Representatives that his Congressional district has ever had. (Cheers.) He is an able Congressman, he has represented his district and his party honorably and well, he four years or eight years from now he ought to be elected Governor of this state. (Laughter). "And I want to say to Mr. Reeves, and to every one of Mr. Reeves' friends, that when they come down to the executive mansion from next January they will and the latchstrain the outside all the time. (Great applause.) SPEACH OF GOVERNOR TANNER. Declares That National Prosperity Has Demoralized the Democrats. Governor Tanner followed Senator Cullom, He was greeted with a great demonstration, by the people. He spoke as follows: "Fellow Republicans: I greet you today as representatives of a political party on which rests, and has long rested, the great burden of responsible political action for the other responsible party in American politics since 1860. Even when a Democrat was in the Presidency he was compelled to appeal to the patriotism of the Republican party to prevent dishonor and disgrace in the management of the party, and to appeal in vain. And now the Democratic party has degenerated into a noisy horde of guerrillas, without order, discipline, or principles. They are mere political ghost dancers, who have actually mistaken Billy Bryan for the true Messiah. The great sachs of Jeffersonian Democracy are discredited, and can find no recourse to vote the Republican ticket. Those now in charge of the country are all with that odious name implies. "Nothing is so painful to the leaders of the Populist wing of the Democratic party as the fact that their country is now prosperous. They are so powerful that all inquiries after his health by saying: 'I am quite poorly, thank God! How ungrateful and mean is the task which now devolves to me, and how much more I am stripe! They are actually compelled to go out before a prosperous and contented people, through a smiling and happy land, where the banks are not so strong, where the wheel is turning." THE APPEAL. JUDGE ELBRIDGE HANECY. The Next Governor of Illinois. and labor all employed, to try to explain away the splendid prosperity of their country. Politicians reduced to this extremity should see from a land of which they are unworthy to join one of Aguinaldo's guerrilla bands in the war against Luzon, where they may meet congenial allies. Colleagues of Calamity. "Sushi men are colleagues of calamity and pestilence. They are sworn allies of the cutworm and the weevil. They are full partners of the Kansas hot wind and the hog cholera, and they are allies of the coward than an early frost. They want 40-cent wheat, 15-cent corn, and 10-cent oats, and if all the bins were empty, even at that price, we would have no concerns these men so much as a full savings bank, and the sight of a workmanaging Christmas gifts home to his waiting children is enough to give a Populus pollination service. We are for laborers and mechanics, and that is to have them sitting idle and ragged in a row upon the curbstone, cursing the administra- tion. "But our country is through with democratic calamity times. The 'holy year' will dawn in three days more, so the Pope says, 'We are the people, the spite of the fact that we committed the 'crime of 1873', and that we have 'subverted the declaration of independence, establishing a desideration of independence, spite of the act of the people, we have outraged outrage of the democrats of the Democratic party for the downtrend of the earth—particularly for the black man, say, in spite of all these things, we have all converging toward the Republican party. "Even old Santa Claus has come into the Republican fold, with his whole kit, reindeer and all, and when he was around the other man, old Santa he swore, in such manner as salutes may be given, he would be guilty of so futile a task as trying to do business under a democratic administration. He says he got enough of that under Cleveland and Altgeld. If these Populus should skich, more year, he proposes to sell his skich, to the tropics, and enter the banana trade. "Seriously, there never was such cause to congratulate the country upon the outlook of the state as now; and to no statesman since the days of Washington has the business of the country owe so much as it now owes to that superb and sagacious and incorruptible patriot, William H. JUD The administration has not only given us prosperity at home, but it has raised our flag in the midst of a new empire of trade and commerce in Christendom, assisted by our own prosperous college professors of the land, can never pull that flag down. Many Things Worry Mr. Bryan. "But a painful circumstance for Mr. Bryan to consider is that a great many better Democrats than he ever was don't want to pull the national instinct for national growth and trade and expansion; the moss is gradually peeling off from their Democratic backs, and Mr. Bryan is now finding out that he jumped into it." "The annexation of the Philippine islands is now an accomplished fact. Only madcapes and simpeleons can talk of giving them up. We must have seen the West feel it must have been, and the East it is ingesting that a few emaciated, dyspeptic, and egotistical college professors, who eat red meat only once in twelve months are not safe to eat. We had controlled the policy of England, she would today be of less consequence than Denmark or Belgium. Education and General Young, in dispersing Aguilardo's army, have the last plank out of the Democratic platform. Free trade dick forever with the revival of the sun under the MKinley tariff, and free silver under the MKinley tariff, the selfsame noose. Then with the instinct of a drowning man who grabs at a straw, Mr. Bryan seized upon anti-imperialism and tried to suppress the scripture, and told how the wry of God came upon King Ahab, because he stole King's vineyard. He declared that President Benjamin American rule over the very lightings of heaven and riveting them upon our own people, because he finished upon extending a benign American rule over Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Illinois has the power from Democratic misrule and bankruptcy, but left in its treasury by the retreating Alleged Militant been made good, and nobody has crested creatibility into the treasury vault at the death of the president, but falsify its condition during the present military administration. The credit of the state, not suffice Mr. Alleged to borrow money to keep the wheels turning at less than from 1 per cent, has been redeemed, and the state institutions are all 2½ per cent; the state institutions are all sterilizing, and there is not one of them that is not today living within its appropriation. the record of Illinois in the Spanish war was surpassed by that of any state in the war. He offered the state a power to offer its services to the President in war. It was the first state to muster into service a volunteer regiment. It was the first state to send forward a full regiment of cavalry. It was the only state to equip a full regiment of colonel men, and officer that regiment, from the colorado down, with men of their own race, to form a regiment, which is the target of Mr. Bryan's "the insurrection" maintains a large per cent of men from this state, and it is gratifying to know that all volunteers, in field and in camp, have followed a guiding duty of duty whithersoever it led. "We are here today, fellow Republicans, to take counsel for the future. I have mentioned to you that we ought to make us hopeful, but there are some challenges that call for wise counsel and precaution. We must guard against the growth and power of the party, but only aim in the party is to boss caucuses and in order to advance their personal interests; must without other visible means of support than through conventions with such delegations only for the traffic, for jobs and plumier, and who, without the semblance of political conviction, seek counsel for their machinery for their personal ends. DGE ELBRIDGE HANEC The Next Governor of Illinois sporismen in Politics. "Such men are not politicians, in the better sense of the word, but spoilism. They bear the same relation to healthy partisan politics that a train robber bears to commerce, or that the chinchub bears to agriculture. They contribute an idea or a doctrine to any Republican platform. They would be with our adversaries just as heartily as they now pretend to be with us if the other party offered them better opportunities to gobble public money. They are people. "A few such men get into the party, and a few such men are now seeking to use for selfish the Republican party of this state. It is part of our duty as Republicans to put the brand of shame and disgrace a brazen foreheads of all spoilism of this nation, as the people will know them throughout the land and for all future time. The Right Kind of Partisanship. about men, but this is a healthy difference, and threatens no disruption of the party. We will not discuss about principles, we will have no differences, and we will not party conventions. While Mr. Bryan is convinced the silver men of the South and North are invading the oppose expansion, and is binging in vain to the anti-expansionists of the East to use the rates of a depreciated dollar, we have nothing to do with the form have been made by proper party authority, but to blow a blast upon the Republican, and the old guard of Republicanism, and as one man and again march to victory." SENATOR CULLOM IS HEARD. Talks of the Evils of Trusts and Suggests Remedies. Senator Cullom spoke of the conditions of the country and its progress since 1769. He told what the Republican party has done for the Nation by the protection policy. He compared the imports and exports of 1898 and 1899 with those of preceding years. He referred to the new pending in Congress. Then he discussed the "Word trust is used very indiscriminately. Aggregate capital is not necessarily a trust, even though it be large. Nothing is a trust, except when different concerns that have been in competition pool their issues, transfer all their property, and a new combination is organized for the purpose of taking control of the business of a monopoly of the business in which they engaged. If that condition of things ever comes to the establishment of a monopoly in business, by whatever means it shall be brought up or however it be named, that thing is harmful and prejudicial to the community. "That brings us to the idea that there must be regulations and control. The exact remedy is the clear. Great establishments, whether they are clear, establishments, or individuals, that are carrying on business, ought to honor the business. If a man in a community transacts his business upon the terms of a lease, or an enterprise, and we say that man or corporation is a blessing to the community. If another man or corporation with the same name transacts his business, we see how such he, or it, can swaddle and cheer him. Y. is. ness, the community will say that that man or corporation is a curse. "It is easy enough to say 'down the trusts,' but that does not help the matter, and the question is whether the man has to be thought out, not by demagogues, but by honest men. Here in Illinois we have an anti-trust law—a vigorous one—and under the decision of the Supreme court of our state, we have a law that any combination injurious to the people's welfare can exist in the state if the law shall be enforced. I desire to add one more word, and that is if such combinations cannot be enforced, the people can be absolutely prohibited. The people will protect themselves against any oppression." LORIMER FOR JEDGE HANECY Chicago Congressman Suggests His Foundation for Correction of Illinois Nomination for Governor of Illinois. Congressman William Lorimer spoke of the loyalty of the Second district, and concluded his speech by urging the nomination of his brother, John. "The Republicans of Chicago, for the first time practically in the history of Chicago or in the history of the Republican party, will be Springfield or to Peoria, wherever the convention is to be held, with a candidate for Governor. They will come to the convention in Springfield, and they will be Republican convention, offering to give them unanimous support, if you will in turn lend some assistance to nominate him. They will be Governor of the whole state of Illinois, and Cook county will only be reckoned by with him in proportion to the population of that county. I have heard from representatives of Chicago here today, that Cook county will present the name of Bibridge Haney." (Great applause). Secretary of State James A. Rose spoke as proxy for Daniel Hagen of the executive committee. Morris of Chicago spoke as a member of the committee and also in behalf of the First Congressional district. Dr. T. N.

SATURDAY JANTARY, 6.1900. The Chicago Chronicle of recent date has an excellent article on the race problem, that is it is excellent down to a certain point, when our contemporary falls into the error of the majority of whites when writing about the race problem, of confusing civil with social rights. Among other things the Chronicle says: "There is a good deal of nonsense talked about the race problem. There is no race problem at least none that is not in process of solution. One or two things the negro has to learn. He must learn, first, that social equality, which never has been and never can be enforced among the whites themselves, cannot be enforced by the negros as against the whites. People, whether white or black, will choose their own company despite all the civil rights laws that can be passed."

Some American politicians are beginning to assert that the Cubans are not at for self-government. The United States by resolution in Congress pledged the independence of Cuba and President McKinley, in his message, says that the pledge must be sacredly observed. There can be no doubt that there are those in this country who would rob the Cubans of their liberty, but President McKinley, Congress and the honest American people will not permit such a perversion of Justice and right. The recent deaths of a number of old-time abolitionists have signalized the fact that nearly all have passed away. John Rycer died in Milwaukee. Calvin De Wolf, a pioneer lawyer of Chicago and secretary of the first antislavery society in the West, died recently in Chicago. His home was a shelter for fugitives escaping from slavery and he was chief manager of the Chicago end of the underground railroad. Rev. Samuel May, another abolition leader, died last month in Massachusetts. These people were the uncommonising foes of slavery. They were courageous and zealous in their efforts to overthrow that hydra-headed monster and they were successful. Their work has been done and they are passing away. Now the Afro-American understands that question much better than the average white man. He has no desire to force himself socially where he is not wanted, but he does claim the right to equal accommodation in all places of public announcement and convenience and on common carriers. There is a great difference between social and civil rights. The very lowest possible specimen of the Caucasian race would be admitted, say to any theater in the United States and given a seat next to the very modest example of that race, yet no one would for a moment contend that they are social equals. All the Afro-Americans asks is justice in civil rights; social equality will take care of itself. It was principally due to the efforts of Bishop Arnett, the resolution which Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin, proposed to introduce at the recent meeting of the Republican National Committee, to restrict the representation of the South to one delegate for each 10,000 Republican votes cast, in stead of Congressional representation, which has been the rule ever since the formation of the Republican party, was defeated. It really meant the disfranchisement of the Afro-Americans in the National Conventions. Bishop Arnett had the assistance of President McKinley and Chairman Hanna and by hard work Payne was induced not to introduce the resolution. Hon. Edward H Morris, of Chicago, is the man who first suggested the nomination of Judge Haney as the proper person to receive the Republican nomination for Governor of Illinois. This coupled with the fact that Judge Haney has always been a great friend of the race leaders. The Appeal to believe that if the Judge gets the nomination and is elected, he will give the Afr-Americans more recognition in the way of first-class places under the state government, than any of his predecessors. The Gridiron Club, of Washington, D C., celebrated New Year's' day by a trip to Charleston, C. S., where it was entertained by the "leading citizens." Among the many means of entertaining the visitors a "training bee" was provided, which was described in the press dispatcher as "realistic but not fatal." Nothing gives a better idea of the lowness and brutality of these "leading" Southerners than this horrible burlesque. The news from the island of Guam to the effect that Capt. Leary, naval governor of the island, has abolished slavery or peonage is very satisfactory. The prologue of the proclamation declares that the Spanish system of peonage, amounting to slavery, is a menace to popular liberty, and a violation of the privileges guaranteed by the American constitution, Good! Capt. Philip P. Powell, who commanded Troop G, Ninth U. S. Cavalry, an Afro-American regiment, says that the Afro-Americans make efficient fighters. One trouble is to hold them back when there is fighting to be done. If the business prosperity of the year just ended is even duplicated this year the Republicans will have things all their own way next fall. It is very evident from all the indications that Mark Hanna will have about as much to do with shaping things in the next presidential election as he had in the last, and that was considerable. JUDGE ELBRIDGE HANESY THE APREAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE BOOK WORLD Messrs. Laird & Lee of Chicago have just added to their admirable collection of reference materials the "Twentieth Century Handy Cyclopedia Britannica," compiled by Alfred B. Chambers, Ph. D. It is a $5% 32% inch volume of $80 compact columns, containing a wealth of alphabetically arranged information. The subjects include history and date, biography, art, and biography carefully reviewed, all the leading facts, theories, and discoveries in medicine, chemistry, physics, botany, zoology, astronomy, and the present generation has been neglected, and even law and business have received their share of the author's attention. The work is written in a clear, clear, clear, half-tone maps and illustrations are excellent. The book is substantially bound, and the value of it is in its well-digested facts regarding the great facts of the past and present. a handsomely illustrated material that it will do every boy and girl a world of good to read. It will teach famous dogs and birds, and show them famous dogs and cats live up to all they know when kindly treated. The stories will educate in kindness to all children, and the lessons to learn. The text is aboundingly interesting, and the illustrations are excellent "The Private Stable" By ~Jorrocke Messra, Little, Brown & Co., Boston, send out a pority, well-illustrated volume upon the management, and appointments of the stable. In the land able to keep a carriage and move in the land able to have an affection for the noble animals, does not have an affection for the noble animals, does not allow them abused or neglected, and yet, as a rule, the owners of the stables do not allow the horses of the horse or the proper means for his care to depend upon the hired help. What is true of the hughes is true of all the belongings of the horse. "The indifference of owners regarding their animals has one very general effect, that of encouraging them to be on the road, due not to any respect for the owner, and according to the characters of the stable servants. The carriages and horses may look on the road, due not to any respect for the owner, and according to the characters of the personal comment. This apprehension does not always exist, and cannot therefore be ignored. The owners indifferent servants up to even a supermarket must their duties. At home the coachman has not the incentive offered to exert himself; the owner has no ignorance, he unwittingly sanctions much, the author once asked a man why he was not doing better work for his employer, to which he replied the crank of the machine to one up all night cleanning harrow and not cared whether it's done or not, or grittin up after the crank of the machine to have the argument From which character the argument an explanation may be found for many instances of good and little pleasure can be derived. The stable. If a person is at the moment the animal is the natural animal, gradually developen "From a general lack of intelligent supervision, Johns, recruited from every walk with the theories run by run with the methods of accomplishing, or appearing to accomplish, their vocations, with the result that to the majority of the public the management of the horse has a vague impression that the horse is kept alive by magic art, indispensable powders, or other unknown knowledge of the state of the simplest order, and the very plixties which confront the owner are the products of ignorance and mismagement. The thicknesses or bad judgement the thicknesses or bad judgement the blind confidence of many who intrust the care of innumerable costly possessions out parallel. Hundreds and often thousands of dollars' worth of property are needlessly burdened by acts of灸疗 or improper care. A $200 bill is obtained by such and such a man, but its owner turns a $1,000 pair of horses over to the care up, while a $1,500 check is carefully locked up, while a $1,500 check is allowably to rot a damp carriage-house." The volume does not teach men to be farrier, but it does teach them to be teachers, teaches duty and common sense, as demanded more imperatively for the stable than any the counting-room. It is a good book for the man who is not a farrier. . . .

A pleasing feature was the playing of Miss Gertrude Palmer the accomplished violinist, of Chicago. Miss Palmer is the best of her race.

WHY SMITH LEFT HOME At the Grand Opera House, St Paul, George H. Broadhurst's Anglo-American success, which has just closed a successful season at the Strand Theater, London, will be seen at the Grand next week. The story of the piece is briefly told as follows: Smith and his wife are recently married. Smith has long been a bachelor, and it is his desire, and that of his wife that they enjoy their honeymoon in the quiet seclusion of their own home, but their relatives seem to seize on the opportunity to visit them from every nook and corner. First comes Smith's sister, then Smith's wife's brother and his wife of a day, then her aunt and her husband, the aunt coming with the express purpose of getting the household started right. All this riles Smith, and, to make matters worse, the servants are now all members of the household and are determined to run the house to suit their ideas. The cook, especially, is an autocrat of the worst kind, but in her Smith finds a friend, and he enters into a compact with her to drive the visitors away with vile cooking. There are many complications. Smith, by mistake, kisses one of the maius, and is caught in the act. Mrs. Smith introduces her brother as an Italian singing master, and later embraces him just as her husband enters the room. All these mistakes are finally cleared up in a masquerade costume when they had supposed the family were to be at the theater; but Smith learns that the masquerade is to take place and returns home with the intention of stopping it. His wife learns of the affair, and attends the masquerade in costume, because her aunt has made her think that Smith is to be there to enjoy a little quiet fun. The company includes such clever players as Tannahill, J. Engen, Redding, C. Jay Williams, Frederick Roberts, Gilbert Gardner, Carina Jordan, Nellie Maskell, Jennie Engle, Lottie Williams Salter, Rose Hubbard, Chamberlain and Lizzie May Ulmer. Not Very Much. Miss Oldgirl—Do you think, Mr. Snifkins is sincere when he writes that he loves me more than tongue can tell? Miss Peachblow —I dare say. He's tongue-tied, you know.—Kansas City Independent. The ship is like to be steered with best certainty when the pilot's eye is to heaven and his hand on the wheel.—Sanderson. It is not so much general notions of Providence which are our best support, but a sense of personal interest taken by Christ in our welfare.—Arnold. New mercies for new returns of praise; and then these new returns, will fetch in new mercies. If the end of one mercy were not the beginning of mother, we were undone.—Henry. On Sabbath and other occasions, I have weared myself with attempts to awaken devotional feeling, by reading compositions of a merely hortatory kind—practical and experimental writings. Our devotion must have a solid basis, and I believe it is in many cases the best thing we can do to go into the argument, and feed upon such strong meat as one finds in Calvin, Rivet, Turretin, Witsius and Owen—Dr. James W. Alexander. WANTED—SEVERAL BRIGHT AND FONDEST persons to represent us as Managers this and close by counties. Salary $600 a year and expenses Straight-line. Our reference, anyank in any town.

James Higgins, and members and friends for the excellent work they have done. Hopes deferred postpone the disappointment of things not realized. Some realize after marriage that the "apple of their eye" is a crapple.
