The Democracy of Illinois have commissioned me in their name to make an attempt to popularize the senate of the United States. I am not, as has been said by some of my friends who write for the newspapers — I am not bound as an expositor or definer of Democratic faith. There are thousands of Democrats in the state who will attend to that job whenever required. It does not need any special champion. The fact is, there is a growing feeling throughout the country, not confined to Illinois, that th...e national senate is becoming an ele- ment of danger, rather than of good. It is the only body of officials who are not responsible to anybody. The president, when nominated by the national conven- tion, although he takes but a small part in the canvass that precedes the election, is made the subject of criti- cism ; his whole life is examined, his business relations are discussed, and at last the people pass upon the men who are presented to them. Not so with a senator. Sometimes, as is found in this state, when the governor uses his patronage while occupying the position of chief magistrate of the state, and later on, secures the ma- jority of the legislature, when the legislature assembles the party caucus nominates him, he ceases to be gov- ernor and becomes senator, and from that time forth he is responsible to nobody.
