WnEREAS, While the Republican party stands nut in the history of the nation as the I*rt y of intelligence, progress and patriotism: it is its lii£he«t glory that it has ever shown itself ready and able to correct and put down wrongs and evils whenever they have raised their heads in its ranks. It has been the courageous censor of the conduct of its orga­ nization in all its parts, and the fearless maintainance of its purity. Therefore, Resolved. That the Republir^ns of the Sth Senatorial District of Illinois, in Con­ vention aasombied, viewing with appre­ hension a tendency in some quarter* towards a».un-republican exercise of political power, now known throughout the country as "l>osg- ism," here record their earne-t opposition to anvthing and everything bearing this char­ acter. Retolved. That we shall do all in our power to avert here in Illinois, the state of tilings now existing in the Republican party In Pennsylvania, and that to this er.d it is the duty of every true Kepublk-uu to vote for no man for office who will not tilt it as the ser­ vant of the people, instead of for personal ends and personal advancement. The following District Central Com­ mittee was appointed^ Boone County--VV. F. Hovey, W. R. Dodge and G. W. Lufkin. Lake County--C. A. Partridge, John Stearnes. and George N. Gridley. MeHenry County--G. K. Bunker, A. W. Young, and Henrv Keyes. C. H. Tryon was introduced and thanked the Convention for ihe honors conferred upon him. Charleg E. Fuller was also introduced and thanked the Convention In a nice little speech. Adjourned. C- A. PARTRIDGE, Chairman. 6. 8. SODTUWORTH, Secretary. It is well for young men starting out in life to know that when a voca­ tion is once selected it is best to stick to it. If the task is disagreeable. !t should be remembered that there is no position in life without its unpleasant surroundings. If one task is dropped to pursue another, it also may be found unsatisfactory. The young man, for instance, who Is at one thins? to-day that disappoints him. and at another to-morrow which aflords no greater de­ light--now manufacturing, then farm­ ing. to-day reading law, to-monow studying medicine--sooner or later finds himself '"Jack of all trades and master ot none," Such persons gain no confidence in themselves and inspire less in others, and In the end have no reputation. It may he set down as an axiom that, having deliberately chosen a line of life. It ts ordinarily best to stick to it.--Ex. The Farmer's Friend. Published at South Bend. Indiana.

November 25th to December 3d, inclu­ sive. 1882. as authorized by joint reso­ lution of the SejRiatjMi-nd House of Rep­ resentatives, August 7. 1882. The ob­ ject of this undertaking is to raise funds with which to erect a statue in this city to the memory of General James A. Garfield, late President of the United* States, which work is in the hands of a committee of the Socie­ ty of the Army of the Cumberland, who have already collected for this purpose twenty thousand dollars, and expect, with the results of the exposi* tlon, to have a sufficient sum with which to erect a work befitting the great name it is proposed to commem­ orate. The art exhibition will be under the direction of the leading artists resi­ dent in Washington. It is hoped that artists throughout the entire country, professional and amateurs, wiH aid the work by contributing some otie t\!ork;-- as a gift to the fund--to be sold for its- belfieflt, and b° willing to exhibit oth­ ers, under such rules and regulations lis may be determined by the Board of Direction. All persons desiring to contribute In any way to this great work are cordially invited to do so, and to proceed in such manner as their judgment may dictate. Contributions from the ladies in the way of needle and fancy work are es­ pecially invited and anticipated as one of the more prominent features of the exposition. To manufacture^ this Exhibition of­ fers opportunities second only to the Centennial Exposition. Occurring on the eve of the.asseinbling of Congress, and at tho season of the year when all the foreign representatives are at their legations, every exhibit will have the attention, not only of our owu rep­ resentatives, but of the representatives of all the civilized nations, as well as the representatives of the Press, who will gladly make full mention of all worthy objects; this, with the fact that each donation or exhibit contrib­ utes so much to a work that must com­ mend itself to every patriotic citizen. All exhibits will bear the name of ar­ tist. manufacturer, etc., and will re­ main in place until the close of the ex­ position.
