Oglesby has accepted the -invitation of *'0 "the Republican State Central Committee A 7$o take part in the pending campaign ^ and has placed his services at the dia- . of the committee. He does not consider it necessary to open the speak­ ing campaigu until the latter part of text month. When "Uncle Dick" does take the stump the troubles and tribula­ tions of J. Moses Palmer will soon be piled mountain high. <i, i, ¥3T A urora correspondence Sunday In- ^ i fer Ocean: Congressman Hopkins is |v home from Washington for a few days, liaving been called here to attend to some personal and business matters. He is loot worried at all about local political affairs, having received a unanimous re- uomination something over three months age. He proposes to make a few speeches in the district before he returns to Wash- Ington, and will open the D^Kalb county : ;S3nampaign at Malta next week. It is un­ derstood that he will not confine his . mmpaign work entirely to his home dis "trict, having acceded to requests to dress the voters in various portions of the State. 1ST The 25th annual reunion of the 8th , Illinois Veteran Cavalry will be held at iffethe Sherman House, Chicago, on Thurs­ day, Sept. 18th. Gen. Beveridge wishes to say to the comrades that the State has appropriated money to erect a suita­ ble monument at Gettysburg to com- memorate the services of this regiment in that memorable battle. He has been ap- pointed by the governor to superintend its erection, and there is some question as to ttfrat point on the battle-field this ent should be placed. This mat- be fully discussed at this reunion CS|n. Beveridge especially desires that each comrade will write out his rec­ ollections of the Gettysburg battle, and bring or send the paper to this meeting . * f THE LEGISLATIVE UTHHTtOXT. By request of several in this District we republish the following facts and figures on the legislative Question, which we first published io these columns in our issue of June fttb, 1888; NUTS FOR WEAK KNEKS TO CRACK. As those who are opposed to tike running of three Republican candidates for the Legislature in this District are continually citing the year 1886 to prove that it is dangerous to the Repub­ lican party, we have taken pains to look up the figures of that year, and take pleasure iu presenting them here for the edification of these stickers for. old "customs." At the election of 1886 the Republican candidate for State Treasurer received 6,590 votes, the candidate for Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction 6,601 votes and Hon. A. J. Hopkins, for Member of Congress, 6,620 votes, in the counties of Luke, Boone and McHenry. 11 we take the average of these votes we have 6,603, which it is fair to assume was the number of Republi^n voters who voted that day. Had these voters divided their votes between Mr. Fuller and Mr. Pat- ridge, and not wandered off after strange Gods, the aggregate vote would have been 19,809, but their total vote was only 1:1,773, showing a loss of 4,030 votes. Now what became of those 4,030 Re­ publican votes? The men who cast them were at the polls that day. Did they go home and not vote for legislative candi­ dates ? Let us see. The average of the Democratic vote shows that 3,."198 voters were at the polls that day. They could cast for Legislative candidates only 10,204 votes. The Waite and Haines vote was 13,651, or a gain of 3,487 votes. If we had put up three men iu 1886 what would doubtless have been the result? We should most certainly have saved those 4.030 votes, which were given either to Mr. Haines or Mr. Waite. This would have reduced their ote just 2,01." each, on the theory that the Republican votes were divided equally between them. (There is no doubt how­ ever, but that Waite received a larger part, owing to Mr. Partridge's ftersonal efforts in his behalf.) Deduct from Waite's vote 7,214, one half of,the Re­ publican loss and we have 5,196 votes, ,404 votes less than the number of Republicans at the poll that day, as shoivn by the State vote. Does it not look, in the fa^e of all these figures, that we have the best chance io the world to elecjb three men? Please keep in miDd that in 1884Blainereceived some 8,400 votes, or 1,897 more than were cast for the State ticktt in 1886, and that Cleveland received some 4,100 votes, which is only 712 votes more than was cast for the Democratic State ticket 1886, showing that we can iucrease our vote this year over the vote of 1886 very much more than the Democrats. With these facts before them we chal­ lenge the Ring candidates or their friends to show one valid reason why the Repub­ licans of this District should be compell­ ed by the cowardice of leaders, to repeat this year the folly of 1886. Ton tn LWlSLATUBS Hon. Oh as. H. Try on, of Hebron, has signified to his friends that he is a candi­ date for the third place on the Legislative ticket, and asks of his friends a fair con­ sideration of his name when the commit­ tee or whoever may meet to put a third Republican in the field. Mr. Tryon has served this District ably and well one term in the Lower House, is a sound, consistent Republican, and should he receive the nomination would lend honor and strength to the ticket. Believing as he does that the Republicans can aud will, under the circumstances, elect a third man this year, he will lend all his energies to that end, and should the people see fit to put up no me other good Republican, he will work equally as hard for his success, believing that the good of the party should come before any personal aspirations. We believe the Republicans of the Eighth District could not do (tetter than to put Mr. Tryon as the third man on the ticket for the legislature.

Prohibition County Convention The Prohibitionists of the several townships ot McHenry County are reg quested to send delegates -to a County Convention to be held at Woodstock, Friday, Sept. 12th, 1890, for thepurpote of choosing seventeen [17] delegates to the Congressional Convention, and seven­ teen [17] delegates to the Senatorial Convention both to be held at Elgin, Sept. 19,1890, at one o'clock P.

In addition to the bnsiuet-s of the Convention a Conference will 1 e held as to the work that ought to 1 e donein this County this fall. All who can do so, other than delegates, are re­ quested to attend the Convention. The Chairman and Secretary of the State Committe are expected to be present. E. B. SMITH, Chairman, Pro. Cb. Com. THE THIRD KAK. fWThe greatest phenomenon ever in- trodifted to the spiritual world is being coached by an eminent physician of Kai sasCity, according to a correspondent of the Chicago Herald. Some time ago a caller at the office of the physician de­ sired, as he said, to place himself under medical charge, that hi# mental condi­ tion might be properly diagnosed, as his friends, he alleged, believing him to be iusane, were determined to send him to an asylum. He contended he was as sane as any man ulive, but freely ad­ mitted that at times he was beside him­ self, as he frequently went into trances, during which periods his conversations were of a most remarkable and unnat­ ural character. Soon he enlisted the doctor's interest and curiosity, and was retained about the office. Only a few days had elapsed when the physician up on entering his office observed his pa­ tient's peculiar condition, and was startled and surprised beyond bis power of expression. The man was in a trance, and immediately introduced himself as learned Berlin physician, deceased fifty years ago. This learned physician was the author of many valuable professional works now accepted authority through out the medical world. The patient, rough, illiterate German, who speaks very broken English, used the most pol ished language and professional terms in discussing and reviewing the learned doctor's career upon earth, as well as his medical works. The physician who has him in charge, and who is intimately ac­ quainted with the writings of thedeceased German physician, declares no non-pro fessional, however well acquainted with WOODSTOCK, 111., Sept. 1st, '90. EDITOR PLAINDEALER We are ap­ proaching a very important election All voters (who take any interest in elec tions) must know that the coming N o vember election will decide whether a Republican or Democrat will represent our great State of Illinois in the United States' Senate at Washington, foe the next six years. The election and rote of one Republican Representative, may be the means of electing a Republican United States' Senator. A majority of the Republican voters of this county heartily endorse the course of the PLAIN- DEALER and other county papers, in ad­ vocating the putting up of a third'candi date by the Republicans of this Senator* ial District, and the question is now be­ ing asked by many, " Why don't the Sen atonal Committee start this thing'.' A portion of this committee have said that they were opposed to the putting up of three candidates, and their names can be given to the voters if necessary. This committee, as well as the Republi­ can candidates for the I legislature, must know that a large portion of the Repub­ licans are anxious to have three candi­ dates, and the sooner the voters arise and demand a "third man." the sooner they will get one, but unless some move is made (bv the voters) at once, we will soon hear it talked that there is not time. Do this Senatorial Committee want a fietition signed by 500 Republic an voters from each county askiug them to call a convention to put up a third candidate? If so, the voters will furnish it at once. There are certain Republi cans here in Woodstock who are opposed to having three candidates, but lOOgood names can be ne :ured in an hour, who are in favor of it. I^et us demand three Republican candidates for the Legisla­ ture, let us hu ve them, Committee or no Committee. We can divide our Senator­ ial district into three sub-districts, and each district plump three votes tor the man they are to vote for, and our pres­ ent candidates need have no fear that every Republican voter will not be true to thr part assigned to him. In the election of 1888, llou. G. S. Southworth received in this district 11,716 votes, and Hon. C. A. Partridge 11,479 or a total of 23,11)5. Suppose that we had run three candi­ dates, and divided our district into three parts, each candidate would have re­ ceived 7,731 votes, or 579 more than E. M. Haines who was also elected. The Democrats are having the Haines fight over again this year, only it is under the name of Donnelly and Murch. Of corn ne the full vote will not be out at the No vember election, but enough will be out to secure the election of three good Re­ publicans, if the third man is put up. 05th Ber't. Reunion The Anuual Reunion of the 95th Reg't III. Vol's, will be held at Harvard, 111., Sept. 4th, 1890. The committe on ar­ rangements have nearly completed their work, and it is expected by every one in­ terested that the boys will have oue of the best reunions they have had since the war. The Secretary has notified nearly 200 members living outside of McHenry and Boone counties to come if possible. Reduced rates have been secured ou nearly all the railroads in Illinois, the west and northwest. Parties attending must demand a certificate from the agent at the starting point, and if you have paid full fare one way, you will be return­ ed for one-third fare. PROGRAMME.--Dinuer at the Walker House at 12 o'clock. Business meeting at 1 o'clock. Fall iu under the old color* in front of the ball at 1 o'clock and march to Hart's grove, where short addiet-see will be made by W. W. Wood, Adj't. of the 95th, J. W. Walters' Phil.
