At this time we have neither rlie time nor space to follow their personal slurs and Insinuations, but shall speak of them at no distant day as they de­ serve.

CurdwilL a well known young lawyer of New Albany, who will l^ive the matter diligent and iinmedi- ate attention. Mr, Cardwill is nofw trying to And the heir*" of Whitman Cobb*, who form*re­ lived ill Cfizenovia, New York, anil afterwards in McHeury county,Illinois. He and William Cobb, who Jived iu Cook county, Illinois, in 1838. are sup­ posed to be the heirs. The preneut residence of the heirs -- or most of them -- is qiikuown. but Mr. C'ardwill will do all thiit may be done to discover ther whereabouts. It is believed it the heirs can he found there will be no difficulty in es­ tablishing their claims to the estate. The exact value of the estate is not known, but ^t is very large and weli worth an extraordinary effort te re cover. Mr. Cardwlll Is In communica­ tion with able lawyer* in Kngland, so that when the heirs of Whiteman and William Cobb are discovered and their i jentity it-caiiy established, there will be little difficulty" in the way of secur­ ing the fortune to which ..they are en­ titled. The newspper'»< -War In McVTeni^ County continues, regret to note that the Woods tocic Sentinel fan flhd nobler Vine of defense for Its do.nothlrtfc course than the descent to |w?tty p#iF«onalIties and abuse of tthe editor of the McTf^nry PLAiKtikALKR. In doing so however the former jour­ nal took its weakest ground, as Mr. Van Slyke has a dozen points to Its one on that very Hn«* of argument ff). In last, week's Is^ue' the PLAIVDKALER ; gives the Sentinel editor some pretty hard rubs, and, as we happen to vknoUf, has more and harder ones In atfcre. The least said in that l!ne by the Sen­ tinel, the better for It and Us publish­ er. |n taking to personalities, however, the Sentinel only follow* In the foot­ steps of Its patron saint the Elgin Advocate* ^7»r some reasonfe best known to Its editors, the latter paper Irtis conceived a strong dislike to our present member of Congress. % If the Advocate has ever advanced a single clearly defined, open, logical argument against Mr. 3her\y?n's re-nomination we haye failed, to discover It. Its col­ umns ere loaded with low personal flings at him every week--that are far beneath legitimate jburhaiism--and with quotations of personal abuse of the Congressman frpm every demo­ cratic paper in ,the district. It has been presumed that the Advocate failed to manipulate Mr. Sherwln as it desired, but that sheet has never ac­ knowledged or denied ihe truth of it. Perhaps it is jealous of its cotempc«rary editor In the race for the postmast'er- shif*. At any rate, those who are able to read between the lines can see that great pains are taken to avoid the real animus, and--as usual with baseless and II leg leal positions--the only re­ course is to personalities. If the Ad­ vocate is dissatisfied with our con­ gressman's official record, let us have some manly, straightforward argu­ ments or statements of facts in regard to the matter. If he was guilty of wronsr practices In dividing the spoils ol4office, let us who are outside of Elgin hear who was misused aad all the facts In the matter. At any rate do not longer play the boy, or give us any more "you're another's," that are every day-ralslu^; the object in. che es­ timation of fair, winded, thi nking peo­ ple. V If an editor is too Ignorant *or^man­ age his own paper,-tliat'is his misfor­ tune. If lie Is too lazy, that is his own affair.

From the foregoing table persons can figure out almost any point they desire to post themselves upon. The assign­ ment of delegates is upon the same basis as that usei by the Republican committee in 1880, i. e.. a delegate to every 400 Republican votes .and for each remaining fraction of 200 -or •oyer. While it Is not at all pfoba.ble that the Democrats will, adopt that basis, the figures above show, the relative strength of the several eountles in both Democrats and Republican conven­ tions, Our district ought to embrace DuPage cpunty. and even then weuld have only a population of 148.590, but It is not likely that DuPage will be counted in with us. From tlie above figures It will be seen thstt.fn a Re pub llcan Co|weutlon Kane and beitalb'or Kane and McHenry could control. A vote of twenty-four gives n majority, and Kane and McHenry together give exactly that. In order to effect any. other controlling coinbinatien.it would necessitate the union of at least three counties. In the Democratic convention Kane Is even more supreme than in the Republican convention.--Elgin Envoy. A dispatch says prairie fires are raging over portions of Kansas.. When they got through the floods.the drouth and the grasshoppers alive, we all hoped tha*, there was no other calam­ ity which could befall Kftnsa*,' /but It seems now she has got to burn. In about ten days subscriptions will be asked for to keep the burned out set­ tlers of Kansas from starving, and we shall chip in op north here as- readily us we have before on account of the other calamities. If Kansas could skin through one year without taking up a collect Ion. It'would encourage emigra­ tion to that State.-- There Is more truth than poetry In the above. It seems as though not only>Kan*«t>i bnt the western country generally, Is afflicted with one thing or another ei'cry svaton; while In the south epidemics and floods are the trouble.
