POLITICAL.

The Illinois Democratic State Convention, In session at Peoria, nominated Carter H. Harrison for Governor, Henry Seiter for Lieutenant Governor, Michael J. Dougherty for Secretary of State, and Alfred Orendorff for Treasurer. John M. Palmer, Will iam R. Morrison, John C. Black, and Lambert Tree were chosen as delegates-at-large to the Chicago convention. The platform denounces the present high protective tariff as a masterpiece of injustice and false pretense, favors a tariff for revenue only, and heartily approves of the course of William R. Morrison in his earnest efforts to reduce the tariff taxation.
