All went well until Sunday, morning Oct.

An investigation revealed the fact that they bad vamoosed, skedaddled for parts unknown aud in their fight bad loaded themselves down with more or less plunder in the form of bed clothing, etc. Very naturally Mr. Bean's curiosity as to the means of flight used' by Mr. and Mrs.

While Mattoon baa always been a warm political center, it has not bad its share of conventions and consequently next Tuesday will be a day of more than usual importance. The republican con ventionfor the Nineteenth district is called to meet here oa that day and it means that there will be quite a coining together of the political leaders of, the So far as nominating a gressman ia concerned, that part of tbe convention will not be very exciting for there if every; indication that Benson Woods will receive tbe nomination, by acclamation. However, the convention will doubtless have interesting feature for tbe contest for tbe nomination for the state board of equalization, and the honor of being delegates to the national convention and presidential electors promises to be more or less But these features of the convention will pale into insignificance wbeO the matter of instructing the delegates to tbe national con ventions Is brought up. There is positively no question that tbe Nineteenth district aa far as the people are concerned Is for McKlnlei out and bit 'rem present Indications Itfooks rvi aaauvaa mm i a tuv iiivuuv iu vhiv ex governor will not be able to get a resolution through the convention la strutting tbe national delegates to vote for bim. Of course they will make every possible effort to do so and right there will come the interesting part of the program for tbe opposition will doubt less be just as determined lathe effort to prevent instruction.

As tbe matter now stands, tbe follow log counties bave Indorsed McKiniey, ECQogbam with 8 votes, Jasper 8, Richland 8. making a total of 21. It Is said on good authority tbst Cumber land will give McKiniey 8 more making a total of 82. Coles and Crawford re fused to adopt McKiniey resolutions and of course Edgar county may be counted solid for Cnllom. Lawrence endorsed Cullom and tbs Clark county convention did not consider the subject.

These tablet ars intert in? if they sre intl i-gpolly made, Kew Yoik idiot who gives 56 i votes to McKiniey and tbe western ignoramus who gives him only 233, there is a happ? medium paralleling the facts. Tbe first table prepared tbia. year was by me, and it gave McKiniey tbe first ballot. Major Handy rinds 4 S3, and the opposition now concedes SH.

If McKiniey goes Into the convention with 400 votes be will win aa sure as fate." Since Mr. Wellman made these figures Minnesota bas increased the McKiniey delegation to IV South Dokata to 8, while Texas Is said to be 8 instead of 8, as given by Mr. Wellman.

In 1802 Mc Kiniey received 43 votes from Pennsylvania and it looks reasonable to suppose that the above estimate of 10 is low. Even the' allied opposition coneeedes that McKiniey will bave an uncontested vote of 848.. ALL DOWN BUT Set 'Em Up for the Ten Roll Week After Next. Fot Mopenriaor W. W.

The foregoing was the ticket nomln ated by tbe 120 democrats, who, fearing neither God or man, bad the temerity, audacity and slllclty to enter for the April event. But more anon.

Spme two weeks ago that intangible and unintelligible object, the Star, had letters from Ike Craig, Broncho Heath, J. 8. Hall and other eminent democra tic lights (these letters, It is needless to say, were written in tbe Star' office, for no one ever accused either of the foregoing of being able to write a letter) calling for a primary 'election. And last Saturday afternoon it came off. At tbe primary held by the republicans two weeks earlier 1231 votes were poll ed.

At the one last Saturday just 120 names appeared on the roll, or 10 per cent, of tbe republican vote. As tbe averaee vote at a "town meeting" reaches only about 1400 the result of the event set for April 1 rosy be easily imagined. But that "hope eternal1' constitutes a large portion of the aver age democrat no nomination would bave been made. Democracy always lives in hopes, however, and trusting to to some chance tbat would ring In one or two of it nominees, jeered at by Sumerlln and bis followers, tbe Foley fly-np-tbe-creeks went ahead and nam ed a ticket, witb the result ss above recorded. Tbat this ticket 11I receive as many votes as it got last Saturday no one for a moment believes.

Already two of tbe nominees bave affldavlted them selves oft. their names having been used without their knowledge or con' sent. We refer to Msjor Isam lieail and Capt. Peck.)

Simpson Is a good fellow-forademocract, Uenryl'owell Is an ol4 citizen and is a delegate from Coles county to prohibition state convention, thus being unable to make it interesting for the boys.
