GENERAL BIDWELL, the Prohibition candidate for President, is several times a millionaire. He made his millions from the sale of wine and brandy from the fruit of his own vineyard. About eix years ago he discovered that he was committing a great sin and destroyed the greater part of his vineyard but held on to his Binful millions. He still sells 150 tons of grapes annually, probable to other winedealers. And yet Prohi bitionists will howl themselves hoarse for the millionaire wine king,
To the Editor of The Journal. DID not H. E. Taubeneck, who figured so conspecuously in the People's Party convention at Omaha, as a member of the Illinois Legislature, vote for Gen. John M. Palmer for United StateB Senator? C.
No. Mr. Taubeneck was one of three members of the Iilinois House elected by the Farmers' Alliance. The other two were James Cocknell and II. H. Moore. The Legislature on joint ballot stood 100 Republicans, 101 Democrats and 3 Farmers' Alliance. Necessary to choice [for Senator 103. Six weeks were consumed in balloting. On the 11th o! March, '91, the 151th ballot was taken and General Palmer received the entire Democratic vote together witb the votes of Moore and Cockoell and was declared elected. Mr. Taubeneck voted for A. J. Streeter. The Republicans on this ballot voted for T. S. Lindsey.
IT cannot be conceived how anyone desirous of the nation's welfare can believe in a return to the clays of wildcat banking and the suffering which that system entailed on the people. It is not understood by the younger generation who no use money that does not change in value and that is worth exactly as much in the morning as it was the night before but forty years ago a five dollar bill would lose its value in twelve hours and the poor man who held it bere the loss. Business of all kinds was unsettled. Banks failed regularly and the deepest dejection prevailed. And yet the Democratic party declares in favor of a return to the days of "wildcat" and "blue pup" money.
IT seems to be a pretty well settled fact that A. E. Stevenson, Democratic candidate for Vice-President, was an active member of the Knights of the Golden Circle during the war. Mr.—beg pardon— General Stevenson, however, denies the charge. That's nothing. We know of but one man that will acknowledge now that he was a member of that treasonable organization, and that man lives in Crawfordsville. It's a record that nine out of ten are ashamed of, and they all with one accord disclaim that they ever had any connection with such villainy.

Decision.
CAMPIJBI.L, IS OUT.
WASTIINOTOA', .Inly 0. William .7. Campbell's intention to rotiro from the chairmanship of the republican national committee \vn.- formally announced Tuesday. Seven distinguished republicans, including Ch:::nnan Campbell, held a three hours' conference with President Harrison at the white house Tuesday afternoon, the result of which was the following statement by Mr. Campbell: "When I was selected chairman of the national committee it was with the distinct understanding tliat my business engagements then pending might render It impossible for me to act in that capacity. 'This contingency was fully understood by the committee and others directly interested. Since the adjournment of the committee I have been unable to adjust my affairs so as to render it practicable for me to act as chairman, and I therefore, as I reserved the right to do, announce that I will not net. Under the authority vested in me by the national committee I will probably announce the executive committee within the next few days, and that committee will meet at an early date. At that moe'.ir.g I will formally tender my resignation and my successor wiil then be elected. My successor will be eho=cn by the executive committee, as authorized by resolution adopted by the national committee."
Carrying: Out Ills Original l'luiis. Chairman Campbell was all aglow with pleasure when a correspondent greeted him in the ante-room of the white house, where he was superintending the work of Stenographer Tibbitt putting upon a type-written sheet the results of the confcrence. "I am merely carrying out my original plans," he remarked, "looking to an organizar tion of the executive committee for campaign purposes. That was all I prom'sed a weok ago when this position of chairman was offered me. At that time I made an acceptance conditional upon a satisfactory arrangement of my personal affairs, and every one, including the president, understood my position perfectly. As to the composition of the executive committee, that matter will be attended to in the course of a day or two, and then I will be at liberty. I shall remain upon the national commits tee, however, but not at its head."
Making Dp the Executive Committee. The executive committee will probably be named to-day. One or two names are awaiting President Harrison's approval. It is known that Fessenden, of Connecticut Manley, of Maine Hobart, of New Jersey: Michener or Huston, of Indiana Payne, of Wisconsin: Clarkson, of Iowa Bradley, of Kentucky, and Kerens, of Missouri, are among the probabilities. Mr. Campbell will be a member of the executive committee, though his appointment will not bo a self-made one. The naming of this executive committee will preclude the necessity of calling the national committee together to name a chairman to succeed Mr. Compbeil. The executive committee chairman will in all probability be chairman of the national committee. At present the pressure is to have a chairman from the roll of the committee as now made up
Not Unexpected.
CHICAGO. July (!.— Mr. Campbell's declination was not unexpected. When he reached this city from Washington a week ago he refused to discuss the plans of action of the committee. His refusal to do so was attributed to his reluctance to discuss plans which would be carried out brothers. He never formally accepted the position. It was well known that his clients here, particularly Philip D. Armour, objected to Mr. Campbell's devoting the whole of his time for six months to politics. Other clients also objected. Then, on account of the health of the members of his family, Mr. Campbell objected to spending much of his time away from Chicago, and the national committee and the candidates were impressed with the idea that the headquarters should be in New York, and could not be made to believe that it was necessary to establish temporary quarters at Chicago.
Sawyer for Chairman.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 0. —II. C, Payne wants Senator Sawyer electeel chairman of the national republican committee, which position is to be made vacant bv the declination of W. J. Campbell. To accomplish this it is necessary that the senator should be a member of the national committee. and to cause this Mr. Payne has announced that he is willing to resign. Efforts are still being made to induce Mr. Payne to accept the position, but he refuses, saying that his private business now demands all his time.
