THU sTAXK CONYliVlION. ^lifc result of the State Convention in Springfield last week was, to a large majority of thte people, more thau gratifying, and is hailed with enthusiasm throughout the State. We think the ticket is one of the strongest that could have been norainnted, head- «d i« it is by a man who litis been tried and never found wanting, of known in­ tegrity and ability, and against whom not one shade of "crookedness*' can be brought. And it is further gratifying because th« nomination of Hon. Shelby M. Cullom ou the first ballot was tire downfall of one of the most corrupt, ud unscrupulous political riugs that ev«r disgraced the State of Illinois. Daring the entire canvass, in this seo- tionof the St&U at least, they left no •tone unturned to accomplish their ends, and even *t the Convention a great amount of figuring was done by BevcridgeV friends to secure some ©o%y;\i etat by which he could be 110m- t1iated,«r Cullom defeated, through a combination on some other man, but a majority of the delegates had been aeot (hire by the people and not by the rings,and the machine politicians had no control over them.. The Evening Journals Springfield correspondent, in speaking of Mr. Cullom, the nominee for Governor, says: "Mr. Cullom is a banker at Springfield, a "plain common man" in Lie general appearance--of generous sympathies, strict morality, of unre- proachable integrity, and as good a practical •talesman as lives in the State. l!i««lection will secure to the Gubernatorial office a man of unaffect­ ed dignity, undoubted fitness, whose "heart is in the right place," and whose mind is "clear as a whistle." In an era when dirty hands are as plenty as blackberries, it is a happy thing that our candidate for Governor is not only honest, but so surely so that there is no honest suspicion to the contrary." 1 Below is the entire ticket uomina- M|d. e ' & For Governor--Shelby M. Cullom, of Sangamon. For Lieutenant Governor--Andrew 8haman, of Chicago. For Secretary of State--George H. Harlow, present Incumbent. Auditor-^Thomas B. [Needles, of Washington county. State Treasurer--Edward Rutz,of St Clair county. Attorney General--J. K. Edsall, of Lee county, the present incumbent. The delegation to the National Re­ publican Convention are not instructed, but it is understood to be a Blaine del­ egation. E, E. Ayer, of Harvard, !s the delegate from this county. ' NUN PA. F I *I-A IN DKA Lilt:-1- Another week has been borne awiiy upon the outgoing tide of Time, peculiarly marked with many of the interesting change.* and episodes of life. . T» maay perhaps this < '-entehnial year will be remembered by cireumstanfces that seem almost trivial in impoilruue, but which leave an impress upon the mind that Time cannot efiTaw. flatly peiv sous and firms of allluence have been wicked upon the breakers of specula­ tion and the glittering gem of wealth desert them just as the goal of their ambition had been reached. Col. Palmer has removed the saloon building {formerly owned ami* occu­ pied by Mr. Arneson) onto his own" lot fronting upon Main street and near the Nuuda Drug Store. We learn that lit' has been rented by Capt. Kelly, of Woodstock, who intends to open a Wagon and Carriage shop at an early day. Ilis skill as a workman has pre? ceded hitn and many are waiting his coining"to have their orders filled at home. He has also rented a dwelling house and will move his family in this week. He will find plenty of work but greenbacks a little scarce. ' The sale of O. G. Thompson's \v as well attended ahd most of the articles sold brought a good price, the total sales amounting to near four hundred dollars. We hear that Mr. Thompson intends to return to Chicago. Our merchants are constantly receiv­ ing* new goods, and their shelves are crowded with just such as everybody wants, while the sidewalks and back yards are filled with empty boxes, bar­ rels, and evcrv conceivable kind of packages, and if their money drawers are not soon filled it will be because they sell goods so near cost as to leave nothing but the pleasure of selling the goods for their profits. Many unexpected changes «eem to be the order in the Political Kings at Washington/from Door Keeper up. Cabinets are formed ttf-da}^ only to be reconstructed to-morrow. The Admin- istration seems determined to weed out all persons who do not bow the knee to the mandates of Party. The recent change made by Gen. Grant can really only be construed as so many steps taken in favor of some particular Presidential candidate. But let ^im build his airy castles. The people are ripe to break the bands of jparty rings and reassert a Freeman's right, to vote a Freeman's ballot. That determina­ tion, it seems, was made manifest at Springfield the other day,' and poor John L. has been left out in the cold, with a merfc handful of sorry looking officials to keep him company. An in­ dignant people have investigated the situation and declared agahfst their unworthy servants.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER :--Woodstock has enjoyed a reason of quiet since our last writing. The several meetings are kept up. but are .conducted so qui­ etly, and unobirusively that save for the "sounding brass" or bell ringing at the hour of service, one would hardly know of the presence of some half dozen divines besides our resident ministers. For two or three successive- days quite interesting religious servi­ ces were conducted in and around the Spring House, in our beautiful park. Why they were discontinued is not known, hence not herein explained. ijTQpwithstinding these meetings, the sound of the grinding is heard at mills, our merchants *re busy at their .counters, our farmers "drive their *tearns afield," our shops iurnish the usual hum of busy life, the Robins, the Jay, and the Thrush withold not their vesper songs, and if report says truly, "marriage and giving in marriage" is to be continued as according to old probabilities, we are to have several weddings within the week. The invi­ tations have gone forth and in one in­ stance, at least, a beautiful cage has been engaged and a "Singer" unsur­ passed in -song is daily expected to take possession thereof. May her melodies, *ver harmonise #with, and find accordant notes iu Johnny's heart. The Delegates have returned from our State Convention and with the ex­ ception of a few disappointed ones, with whom Bereridge was a special favorite, all are well satisfied with the result, and many of the opposition, who just before the convention talked loudly of Democratic victories in Illi­ nois, this centennial year, nowsoto voce, give utterance to grave doubts and virtually yield the State. To all re­ publicans our State tickets is not mere­ ly acceptable but accepted with en­ thusiasm. And in regard to the action of tlie convention in the selection of Blaine delegates to represent u6 in our national convention universal satisfac­ tion prevailed. And "Blaine of Main will beat the Cains who slew their brother Abel. Our City Fathers are making some much needed improvements upon our street!*and s-icle walk". May they con­ tinue their good w ork that our people may walk the "straight and narrow Path*' There must be some virtue »cven in grog-shops, when some of our citizens, too favorably inclined toward the crit­ ter, -find fault iu very emphatic terms, s,because the)' cannot obtain all.their ap- peti^s craves.
