During the dinner hour and for an hour succeeding it he engaged in social converse with his family and with such guests as might be present. Then he retired to his office in the basement and labored frequently far into the morning hours.

In spite of his 74 years his movements were as lively as those of a manbf 55 or 60. He was of giant mold physically as threatened casiontoget him into serious trouble.

It is an open secret that on two occasions Justice Miller's name was earnestly discussed for the office of Chief Justice.

He spent Saturday even ins with friends who live near the building in which be bad an office and a bedroom; which TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1890 TWELVE PAGES. he occupied in the absence of his family from the city.

He called at Justice Miller's house Saturday afternoon, and when he became convinced that there was no hope of recovery he seemed to be very greatly depressed.

A dream which he dreamed on the night of Friday, Oct. 3, exactly a week before the sud and imagination, and, al though he was a man of sunny, cheerful temperament, by no means given to indulgence in superstitious or morbid fancies, he related the dream to several friends and dwelt upon it with considerable seriousness, He said that in the dream he was engaged' in conversation with Justice Miller, and that the latter suddenly dropped to the ground, stricken with apoplexy. A week later when Gen. Belknap heard that his old friend had been stricken he became more deeply concerned than ever, and remarked to several I haven't heard the last of that there is more to come."

Mr. Taylor was elected in the First by a majority of almost 4,000, and his vote will not be less than that cast for him two years ago.

Mr. Mason about 2,500 majority in the Third, and Mr. Adams the same number in the Fourth. These three districts are not giving the Republicans any uneasiness, and it is be Congress by the usual majorities. The Republicans will make a fight for the Second, and some of the more sanguine are hopeful of success, owing to dissensions among the Demo crate.

The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and distrkte bound N'inth are Republican by majorities ranging from two to ten thousand. All of the incumbents renominated, fears of the result. There is a brisk fight on in the Tenth between Gen. Post and Dr. Wilson of Peoria.

Gen. Post redeemed the district some years ago by defeating a popular Democrat, Nick WorUiington, by a small majority, which he increased in 1888 to 2,600 and better. Gen. Post has every reason to believe he will maintain his hold in the district and defeat Dr. Wilson, who is as good a vote getter as Worthington, by a majority not less than that of two years ago.

Ben Cable of Rock Island is the Democratic nominee in the old Marsh McClaughry district against Congressman Gest, who has been renominated. Mr. Gest laid out Congressman Neece, Democrat, in 1888 by about 400, and increased this majority two years later to 2,100 over Mfc nominee of the Democrats and labor organization. Mr. Cable hopes to mass the vote of the railroad employes in the district and beat Mr.

Gest. He will hardly be successful. The district will iroughiy canvassed, and many of the Speaker Reed will make a speech in the Eleventh at some point yet to be selected. This meeting will be held on the night of the 25th. Scott Wike, Democrat, has probably 5,000 votes to spare in the Twelfth, and Mr.

Springer of the Thirteenth a trifle over 2,000. Wike is sure to be elected, and Mr. Springer reasonably so, all depending on the vote of the F. M. B.

A. Mr. Rowell of the Fourteenth pulled through two years ago with a majority of 1.900 to his credit. He is opposed this time by Mr. Owen Scott of Bloomington.

It will be found when the votes are counted out that Mr. Rowell has been reelected by a couple of thou In 1888 Joseph G. Cannon beat Bob Mc Kinley. the Democratic nominee, and as popular a Democrat as there is in Illinois, by 2,693 votes. He is opposed this year by Col.

Busey of Urbana, a clever gentleman, by the way, but he does not possess the vote getting qualities of li Bob McKinley. Some Republican papers in the district are opposing Mr. Cannon, but the losses occasioned by this disaffection will be inconsiderable. Afraid of the Preacher. Uncle Jesse Harper is a candidate for Congress in the Fifteenth, and will get a thousand or two votes, and moat of them will come from the Democrats.

There is a fight in the Sixteenth, and a scorcher at that George W. Fithian the member from the district, beat Ed Harlan two years ago exactly 705 votes. Fithian is exceedingly popular with the people and is a good politician. He is in deep, deep trouble now, because the Rev. John W.

Reeder of Newton, the nominee of the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association and the Republicans, is giving him no end of trouble. Mr. Reeder was nominated by a convention of the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association, held at Olney. Mr. Fithian'9" friends were exceedingly anxious to prevent a nomination, and to secure that end, attempted to stock the convention with Democrats.

All the prominent Democrats from Olnoy were at the convention and it was presided over by Mr. Sheplor of Cumberland, who is an ex member of the Legislature and an avowed Democrat. Mr. Reeder is a regularly ordained Methodist preacher and has been stationed at Olney and other points in the Sixteenth District. At present he has cnarge oi a pastorate to inure to the benefit of the farmers and other industrial classes.

Mr. Sheplor and the other men did their best to get an adjournment without a nomination, but their efforts were of no avail. Mr. Reeder was nominated, and true to his word he is giving Mr. Fithian a tight battle.

Mr. Reeder has always affiliated with the Republican party, and has always been regarded as such by his intimate friends, although, like many others, his sympathies are with the Farmers' Mutual Mutual Benefit Association and there are 2,000 or 3,000 membership residents in the district Mr. Reeder will get a great part of this vote, and he has been indorsed by the Republicans of the district, too. Mr. Reeder has better than a fighting chance of beating Mr.

Fithian. He has many friends, particularly among the young men. The gentleman is exceedingly It will indeed be strange if Mr. Reeder does not beat Mr. Fithian.

The contest is exceedingly interesting and animated, and the intensity of the struggle will constantly increase Democratic nominee almost 5,000 majority. There does not appear to be any probability of bis defeat, although has made a no ward Roessler. A Bitter Fight The Eighteenth, the old Morrison district, is the scene of a bitter fight. The Repuolicans have nominated one of the brightest men among the young Republicans of Illinois, Cicero J. Lindley, the County Judgeof Bond county.

Mr. Lindley is one of the principal officers of the state organization of the Farmers' Mutual Benovolent Association and the town of Greenville. operates the es sides there Lindley is a splendid campaigner, one of the best in Illinois. He will get the full vote of tne Republican party in the district, and in addition thereto will draw largely from the Farmers' Mutual Benevolent Association. The Eighteenth Uke the Sixteenth has within its borders several thousand members of this organization and Mr.

Lindley can good vote from His opponent, Mr. Forman, nly beat Jehu Baker, Republican, by votes. Mr. Lindley ought in all reason to run as well as Mr. Baker and with all ease get enough votes from the Farmers' Benefit Association to elect him 1,000 majority.

This district is being fought from one end to the other. Gov. Oglesby opened the campaign down there a couple of weeks ago, and the contest will never stop until the close of the polls on election day. The Nineteenth is sohdly Democratic. Dick Town shend used to carry it by 4,000 or 5,000, and Mr.

Wifliams, present ne district, has an aln ion. Capt. Morris, a the Twentieth, seen how of beating Congi fron to think he stands i ed by 1,821 votes over Mr. Robinson, Democrat and Union Labor, two years ago. He will defeat Capt.

Morris by at least 2,000. In al to wit: the Sixteenth and the Eighteenth. They have a chance of winning the Second, and there is a possibility that Capt. Hanon, the Republican and Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association man in the Thirteenth, may give Mr. Springer a close rub.
