I hereby Announce myself as a candi­ date for Sheriff of McHcnry County, subject to the decision of the Republi­ can County Convention. D. A. STEDMAN. 70S C0H&BXS8, 4th DISTRICT, HON. & A. HURLBUT, OF BOONE. Sutyect to the Decision of the Republi­ can Congressional Convention. We are happy to announce to our readers this week, that, by the urgent solicitation of friends from different parts of the District, Hon. S. A. Hurlbut has consented to allow his name to be used as a candidate for Congress in this Distirict, and conse­ quently his name will be brought be­ fore the Congressional Convention for that office. Gen. Hurlbut does not seek the nom­ ination, but the diesatisfaction in the District is so strong as to compel him to answer the peoples call. The peoplo am unwilling that the fraud of two years ago shall be endorsed again this Fall, and what better way to undo the wrong already done than by electing oar former able Representative, Hon. 3. A. Hurlbut. In Congress Lathrop has proved himself, vacillating and Incapable. The consciousness that he was elected by fraud took out what little backbone and ability he ever had, and his masterly inactivity in Congress was so apparent that he gained, and Justly to. the not very envious title of 44 William the Silent" For a District that has heretofore been so ably represented, this is indeed a disgrace. Besides the times demand that we shall be represented in the llalls of Congress by men of known ability and known courage. Such a one Gen. Hurlbut has proved himself to be on all occasions, and for this reason the people demand that he shall be put forth as the standard bearer for the 4th Congressional District at the coming election. f Two years ago Gen. Hurlbut was. by the voice of the people, honestly and fairly nominated, but was cheated out of that nomination by one of the most damuable frauds ever ^perpetrated on a free people. Bnt two years trial of this Winnebago fraud has convinced many that while he <rnny be a good lawyer lie is certainly a poor Congress- that in these.times it is most accessary that we be represented by none but our best men. This being the feeling all over the District the people have naturally turned to one who has been tried and never found wanting, and the resfllt is that Gen. Hurlbut has been forced to announce himself as a candidate, and we predict will be nominated by an overwhelming majority. He is now, as he was two years ago, the peoples choice, and every voter should see to It that he does what he can to help rebuke the pot boose politicians who run the Elgin Convention two years ago, and by their acts cast such odium upon our once Banner District. WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Another >hot term during the latter part of last week prepared us to greatly enjoy the "cooling wave" ushered upon us by the refreshing shower of Saturday night. Perhaps it is due our School Board that we make a slight correction in re­ gard to their chursh preferences.-- While our statement last week would have been strictly the truth, as to their status with reference to churches, a few months ago, we are informed that a the preseut time two are patrons -o one church, two of another and two] scattering as politicians say. So that the theory, so commonly advanced upon our streets, of auy one denomina tion attempting to control our school which we admit to have been the foua datlon of our la6t weeks statement, can not be malntined and we take pleasur in giving the above explanation. We see by Bath, N. Y., papers TOkWhek&a. ORAFTON, AUG. 5th, 1878. ^OtTQR PjLAINDEALER:--11 COmeS us through Chicago papers that at last we are to have a candidate. The people of Kane send t*.« greeting and propose the name of Gen. S. A. Hurlbut as the standard bearer for the 4th Dis­ trict. How fitting that Kane should cet the ball rolling, and if we mistake not, the Lord, g. p. lord we mean, will not get an opportunity to" play the fraud of two years ago upon Kane in particular and upon the whole District as a consequenoe. Now let the people see te It that Satan takes a back seat In this campaign whether he assume the name of Lord or come In his own grab. "When the I)--1 was sick the D--1 a Honk would be. When the D--1 was well a D--1 of a Monk was be.* They played the Monk two years ago successfully and if correctly reported they have been sick ever since, of an overdone of nothing as a reward for theTr labor. South Caro­ lina Is at hwr old nullfying, secession tricks again; Let us hiive from the 4th District one whom she has learned to fear, and fearing to respect. There is not, perhaps, In the whole District the peer of Gen. Hurlbut for the de­ mands ot the times. And if we righv- ty read the signs of the times, we shall be able to gain this fall, by honest, united effort what two years ago we lost through treachery and fraud.-- Exit Lord,Smith & Co. JUNIUS.

"A little leven, leveneth the whole lump." That is what our articles on the Congressional question seem to be doing. We have been advocating the re-nomination of Gen. Hurlbut for Con­ gress for many reasons. The first and principal reat&n being his universally admitted qualifications for the place, as we deem it no exageration or unfair­ ness towards our many able men of the district to state, that for the troublous times that are upon us he has no peer in the district and few if any superiors in the nation, and we are uot alone re­ sponsible for this opinion as we hear it advanced by many, not only in our own humble ranks but in ranks ol position and more extended influence. And we bear it from Boone and Kane that with McHenry counted In his favor, his nom­ ination is sure, Sentinel quotati ons from Kane county papers to the con­ trary notwithstanding. If the speech of the people, whose voice should be and mill /be '^respected, /Is ,»any dadcx, ^he Republicans of McHenry county demand his nomination provided he is now as two years ago the choice of a majority of the Republicans of the District. Secondly we advocate his nomination, that with .him as our standard bearer we could wipe out the frauds of two years ago, while with any other man those frauds would stand uncancelled and virtually approved by the party. The General visited our city last Wednesday in a very quiet way. He came at the request of cer­ tain of our citizens before deciding •whether he would be a candidate or not, and it is seldom, that though quietly done, a candidate has been more cordially greeted than he by our citizens. And since his departure we have yet to hear the first expression from a Republican antagonistic to his {^success, but on the contrary all are en- tan thusiastlcally in favor of his nomina- Itietion. Such is political life. Two J™ years ago the manipulators an t agon I s- dor the town and carried H tnifi afi>a'n8t him.

There is a curious story at>out some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa­ days, and have only recently been put upon Ihe market. Dr. Underbill, the well-known grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeedcd in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, ana being wholly unlike any other ^vine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and Doth physicians and wine- fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in anj? con­ siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the hands of the well-known wholesale grocery h o u s e o f t h e T h u r b e r s . -- i V . Y.
