Futility of Division is Plain.

Anderson, Ind., June 2.—James O. Lee, on whom the progressive nomination tor clerk of Madison county was ‘'wished,” today sent the following letter to the chairman of the progressive organization: "My Dear Sir:—Enclosed you will find attached my resignation as candidate for clerk on the progressive ticket. I wish to thank my many friends tor their good wishes, but at this time I do not think it is prudent to enter Into a campaign where there is no possible Chance for an election. I am still of the opinion that in Madison county we should lay aside our petty differences and get together on a ticket which in my opinion we could elect. Again thanking you and the progressives of Madison county, I am with best wishes, Very truly, JAMES O. LEE.” Charles S. Deneen, former governor of Illinois, will be the principal speaker at the Madison county republican convention to be held lere next Saturday.
