PALMER WINS THE SEAT

Elected to the United States Senate
on the 154th Ballet.

GOT TWO FARMERS’ VOTES.-

Moore and Cockrell Ended the Great
Struggle by Casting Their Ballots
for the ex-Governor—Taubenbeck
Stuck to Streeter to the Last.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills., March 12.—On the
154th ballot, taken Wednesday at noon,
John M. Palmer was elected to the United
States senate to succeed Charles B. Far-
well. Moore and Cockrell, F. M. B. A.
members, voted for General Palmer. The
154th ballot resulted as follows: Palmer,
103; Lindley, 100; Streeter, 1. Taubenbeck
voted for Streeter. Palmer was declared
elected, and the most exciting scenes ever
witnessed on a representative floor then
took place. When Taubenbeck voted for
Streeter he dropped back in his chair and
cried freely.

The first subject that the F. M. B. A.
men questioned General Palmer about in
their conference Tuesday night was the
Pacific railroads. He replied: “I have
never had any particular views upon that
subject beyond a belief in the enforcement
of the rights \Of
the government in
the matter. I con-
sider those rights
to be simply those
of any other cred-
itors.” Q. TO take
possession of the
property? A. If
need be, yes; meas-
ures should be
taken at once to
enforce the rights
37' of the government
"" against the roads.
My idea. has been
that the purpose

 

JOHN M. PALMER.
of the roads was ultimately to cheat the

government. I think that every honest
man should try to prevent that.

Regarding the proposition to extend the
payment of the Pacific railroad debts sixty
or seventy years, General Palmer said: “01
course such an arrangement ought not to
be made unless it is made with a view of
obtaining better security for the govern-
ment.” 'He had no doubt, he said, that
there was in congress an organized corrupt
representation not only of the Pacific rail-
roads, but of many other corporate inter-
ests, that should be unearthed.

General Palmer’s views were next asked
on the question of money.

The liloney Question.

Q. Are you in favor of the abolition of
the national bank circulation? A. Yes.

Q. You believe that all money should
be issued and coined by the government
and all circulation controlled by the gov-
ernment? A. Yes. As I have stated dur-
ing the canvass and perhaps to you before,
I at one time entertained the view that the
power of the government to coin money
was derived from the constitution, and
was limited to the mere conversion of the
precious metals into coin, but that in the
progress of time the public mind had
reached a point that the government was
furnishing that which served all the pur-
poses of money. I think I stated that in
1874. I took the ground that the govern-
ment should furnish all that was to be
created as money for public purposes.

Q. And should control its volume in the
interest and for the benefit of the people ex-
clusively. A. Unquestionably the govern-
ment is the sole money making power of
the country. I advanced these views in
1874, and they were published in article
after article in The State Register when I
owned it. Some were written by Major
Souther under my direction and some by
myself.

A Graded Income Tax.

Q. I believe you favor :1 graded income
tax? A. I believe I said in 11 former con-
versation that in adjusting the revenues
of this country an income tax will become
a necessity, in my judgment. It will be an
income tax,_ however, that should be so
graded as not to reach the labor and sub-
stance Of the people.

Q. All that we are going to ask you in
regard to certain other questions is that
we want you to say, not whether you in-
dorse them or not, but that you will give
us assurances that you will investigate
them.

Mr. Cockrell then entered into a general
discussion of the condition of the,country
from a farmer’s standpoint, and found his
views in practical accord to a large extent
with those of General Palmer. Mr. Cook-
rell called attention to the fact that Gen-
eral Palmer was already far advanced in
years, and General Palmer said he never
expected to be a candidate for senator
again, and that he would have but one
ambition in Washington—to do the best
he could for the peOple.

“One thing we admire about you, gen-
eral,” said Mr. Cockrell in conclusion, “
that you have stood as the representative
of your party, and have made no conces-
sions 01' offers to trade or barter.”

'The Farmers’ Manifesto.

Representatives Moore and Cockrell is-
sued a long address to their party, setting
forth the efforts they have made to secure
the election of an independent candidate

to the senate—their efforts with. the Re-

dublican party and the attempt to elect
Streeter (F. M. B. A.). They go on to say
that the Republicans have secured from
Streeter such concessions and promises as
would, if carried out, entirely unfit him

for representing conscientiously the prin- ‘

ciples of the Farmers’ party.

Finding it absolutely impossible to elect
an independent, they have concluded that
their next duty is to select a man who,
while not representing the principles of
their organization in full, is in sympathy
with many of their demands and concedes
the need of redress in the legislation that
has grown up under the rule of corpora.-
tions and monopolies. The voice of the
people of the state should be respected in
the choice of a senator, and that voice, so
far as expressed in the last election, was
unquestionably in favor of John M. Pal-
mer.

Decided to Vote for Palmer.

“Becoming satisfied that we could not
elect a. man who would fully represent our
people,” they add, “we called on Mr.
Palmer in the interest of our people to as-
certain what assurances and hopes he
would give us in regard to his future 001-
cial action affecting such legislation as
our people demand. This interview, we
must say, was satisfactory, even beyond
our expectations. General Palmer has
earned our admiration by his manly way
of conducting his fight this winter in 're-
fusing to allow any corrupt influences to

- be used in his behalf.

“While he does‘not fully represent 11s.

 

he has forced us to believe that be is an
honest man. While this has been a pro-
longed contest, we feel that the effect is
good; that it has forced the politicians to
admit there' 15 something wrong. We are
more firmly convinced than ever that the
future prospelity and happiness of this
country depend upon the success and
growth of an independent party. The In-
dependent political movement by the toil-
ing millions 15 the only hope of the people.
In View of the facts above stated we will
cast our votes for John M. Palmer and
bring this prolongedcontest to a close.”

PALMER'S CAREER.

 

General Palmer is 75 years old, but has
all the physical vigor of a strong man of
fifty. He has been closely identified with
Illinois politics for forty years, having
been :1 leader in both parties, and by each
given all the honors it had to bestow. Up
to the opening Of the war Palmer was a
Democrat, but had never held office. He
went into the war as :1 colonel and came
out a major general. After the war he
affiliated with the Republican party, and
in 1868 he was elected governor. \Vhen
the great Chicago fire occurred General
Sheridan, who was then stationed in that
city, without consulting the governor took
it upon himself to guard the city. Colonel
Grosvenor, a. veteran and well known citi-
zen, was shot and killed by a sentry be-
cause he did not answer :1 challenge
promptly.

Then Governor Palmer informed General
Sheridan that when the state needed the
assistance of the United States govern-
ment it could ask for it through its propeI
representatives. He also telegraphed
President Grant that if the Federal troops.
were not at once withdrawn from Chicagc
he would call out the state militia and
drive them out. The governor being clear-
ly in the right the president instructed
General Sheridan to take away his soldiers,
and the state policed the city.

Joined the Democracy.

In 1812 General Palmer's term as gov
ernor ended, and about that time he ceased
all connection with the Republican party
and soon after openly joined the Democ
racy. Since then, while always active in
the councils of that organization, he was
little seen in public life, quietly practicing
law in Springfield unti‘: '1888, when the
Democrats nominated him for governor.
During that campaign he made speeches in
every county in the state. He was beaten
by Governor Fifer, but by only 12,000 votes,
while President Harrison had a majority
of over 25,000.

Last year he was nominated at the Dem-
ocratic state convention for the United
States senate to succeed Senator Farwell,
the idea being that such :1 nomination
came as close to electing a senator by pop-
ular vote as can be gotten at under exist-
ing laws. The ~general again took the
stump as a. candidate of his party, and can-
vassed the state as he did three years agc
when running for governor.

In the conference with the representa-
tives of the F. M. B. A. he said, although
his health was admirable, he had nearly
reached the limit of political activity, and
would regard his election to the United
States senate as the crowning honor.

Italy and the Vatican.

ROME, March 12.—Premier Rndini has
Opened negotiations with the Vatican witl
11 view to bringing about a friendly under-
standing between the papal authorities
and the Italian government. Certain con.
cessions to the Catholics would be prelimi
nary to an arrangement. The premier ex-

plains the delay in bringing forward meas ‘

ures to induce a modification of the existing
prohibitions in Germany against religious
bodies as being due to the excitement or
the subject which has existed among the
Protestants. This excitement, Marquis d:
Rudini declares, is now subsiding, and a
state of affairs is expected which will
enable the German government to make
good its friendly intentions.

A Snowballing \Vhich \Vasn’t Funny.

ALBANY LEGISL ATI UN.

The Senate Deadlock Over the Rules
Broken by a. Compromise.
ALBANY, March l2.—It was almost half

. past 3 o’clock Wednesday morning when

 

 

the remnant of the thirty-two senators
and fifteen correspondents issued from the
senate chamber. At half, past2 the first

‘call of the senate was suspended, and an

attempt made to proceed with business.
The same failure was made, and Senator
Fassett again moved a call of the senate,
and the sergeant—at—arms was 'sent after
Senators O’Connor, Collins, Sheard and

Jacobs, all of whom had departed under'

variouspretenses. Roll calls at that time
were answered from various corners of the
senate chamber, the members being wrap-
ped up in their great coats and asleep on
the lounges. At 3 o’clock the call was
again suspended, and at a quarter past 3
it was agreed to compromise. The Repub-
licans, through 111'. Fassett, offered an
amendment to I ule 3 as follow s:

“He [the lieutenant governm] shall have
the right, when in the city of Albany, to
designate in writing a member to perform
his duties, but not for any longer time
than twenty-four hours from the time of
making such designation, which may be
revoked at any time by the senate.”

The amendment was immediately adopt—
ed and the senate adjourned. The senate
at the time of adjournment had been in
session thirteen consecutive hours, and
had not done any business for one week.

The compromise amounts to nothing, as

both parties have the same liberties as
heretofore.
In the Assembly.

In the assembly the following bills
passed: Mr. Sheard’s, for the relief of the Ro-
man Catholic religious societies at Chitte-
nango; Mr. Acker’s, appropriating $7,000
for the purpose Of building aslope wall
along the canal at Corning.

Another Kink Straightcned.

CHICAGO, March 12.—The VVorld’s fair
transportation puzzle has apparently been
solved by the engineer, E. L. Corthell. By
his plan all the steam surface roads will
utilize the Illinois Central tracks, which
are to be elevated for a. considerable dis-
tunes. The streets crossing the tracks and
entering Jackson park are to be depressed
and the subways thus created will be used
by the cable lines, other street vehicles and
pedestrians. The expense will be appor-
tioned between the Exposition company,
the city and the various transportation
lines. It is said that all the railroads in-
terested have informally approved the
plan.
