The Greenback men captured tho Btate Conventlon, Aud, as you know, passed a very foolish resolu- tion, which {s satisfactory to inany of the Na-t tionals. Perhaps I ought to explain to you my 0wn positlon. About a year ago I ob- ained control of the leading Democratic news- paper of our State,—the Springfleld Register,— and it has afnce been published as an uncom- promisivg hard-money journal. I do not editit myself, but I do determine what its policy shall be, and occasionally I write an editorial article forit., Unthe morning of the last Btate Con- veation we rcgubllahml tho hard-money resolu- tion adopted by tho Democratic Btata Conven- tion of 1874, and the mpext day we denounced | the Greenback plank as undomocratic, and de- clared that it was not binding upon auy Democrat who still belleved In the doctrincs rprmerlry professed by tho party. Thero isa strong fard-money element in the Nemocratic party of 1llinols, but it Is in n minority,” . “Ifow do you account for the growth of the Greenback sentiment i the Democratic party of your Btatei” I asked. "I witnesscd the flzht over the currency resclution in the Spring- field Conventlon of 1574, and when 1t was won b’y the advocates of honest currency, the: thought they had commiited the party for ai future time to sound theorios fa finance. Now they scem entirely to have lost thelr grip. What has cauacd this revolution i’ #1¢ seems to me,” sald Gov. Palmer in reply, *{hiat the entirc movement agaiust hard money isarelic of the Copperheadism of the War,— that It grows ont of a deslre to injure the credit of the Government, aud destroy confidence In it. Then, besides thls, the Democrats have been out of power so loog that many of them aro remdy 1o scize upon anything which promise to bring them success, c [w rer-moncy people have really had control of the Jemoeratic party since 1874 The bone and sinew of the hard-money element wie furnished then, as you know, by those who nad been Lib- eral Republicans. The same is true to-day. In 1878 the Liberals, or [ndependents, as they cail themsclves, held aloof, expocting that the Cin- clonati Convention would nominate sowme pro- gressive Republican whotn they could support. They flnnXH voted for Mr. 'Tiiden, slthough the financia] resolutlons of the St. Loufs Con- vention wera not as strong as they would have been pleased to have had them, Taking the Independents out of the parly a8 an active con- trolllng clement, loft the Inflationlsts to man- nge things about to auilt themseivea.® **Who would be the Presidential candidate of hto Illinots Democracy if one was to be named ot-day 1" +*Bince his remarkable utterances on tho cur- rency question, Mr, Thurman has become the favorite with our people. fle would undoubted- ly got tho vote of the Democratic party of our tata if the nomination was to ba made now."” **You say that the hard-mouney olement in the Democratic pnrt{ of [linols iaan uncompro- mising one.

A heavy thunder- storm “prevalled at tho time, and the vivid flasties of lightning fllmioated the heavens. Low Smitn’s house und barn, two and a half miles from town, were first struck, and totaily wrocked, Tho wind then took a northwesterly direction acroas the ccmetery grounds, crashing trees and throwiog tho monuwments from thelr foundations flat to the gronnd. e Keeping on in about the samo course, it struck tho treo in front of Mr, Willlam Bishop's residence, dolng consitlerable ‘damage, Hers the wind spread and took fn- some four or five blocks southward, down ns faras the McfTenry House. Then it struck In nn casteely direction, and for sbout a quarter ot a mlle in width swept everything belore it. Quthouses wers blown over, handsome shade- trces shivered to pleces, and fences lald flat.

During the night and early this morning large accessions of delegates and friends of the varl- ous canaidates arrived, and the work was pushed Iorivard with energy by all who had entered the race. The Convention held a short session this morning, when an organization was offected, and arecess hiad until 8 this afterncon. It 1cemed quite probable that some of the varlous schemes to defeat & nomination on the frst ballot might be entiroly succesaful when tho Committeo on Rules and Regulations reporicd, suggesting that o two-thirds majority should bo required to nominate. This mova rather stirred up the Convention, Johm G. Thompson, in s fow remarks, stated that, at this time, to change tho rules that had governed the Democratic conventions for years was un- wise, and would furnish a precedent which might return to the authors ot it st a time which would cause them regret. A motion was then made fasoring the substitution of the word “majority? for the words ‘‘two- thirds,”” which was adopted, Walling and Poppleton did not show the strength that was expected, and, even beforo Walling's county was called, Converse had recelved sev- eral more votes than were required to noml- nate, Beforothe result of the vote was an- nounced, the Hon. E. F. Powell, from Dela- ware, moved that tho nominstion be made unanimons, which was carrled tbrough with whirl. Mr. Converso was then scnt for, and addressed the Convention. He returned his siocere thauks for the honor, and these were the more heartfelt, bo sald, becouse of certaln attacks of a few days nzo, to which allusion meed not be inade now. Among the questions to conelder ~was the ;(enurbl proatration, desplto of the sbundant inrvest, on cvery hand, and to-day there wero men workiog In the Capital for 75 cents a duy. Many of the. misfortuncs of the peopio were owing to unwise- and hostilo leglslation. Tho apcaker then contrasted the wise aud economi- cal policy of the Democrats fn times past with that of the Republicans, and sakd that it would dovolyo on somo other Old Uickury to extricate the people of tho State once more, and to lead them in the return to old-time prusperity, The Conventlon then adjourned.
