The Republicans of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit of Illinois are requested to send dele gates t"> a convention to be held at the City Oourt Room, In the cityof Aurora, Kane conn, ty. at 1 o'clock r- M. on Tuesday, the 6th day of May, 1891, for the purpose of placing in nomination three candidates for Judges of said circuit, to l>e voted for on Monday, the 1st day of Jane, 1891, and to transact such other business ae may properly cqme before : said convention. The several counties com­ prising said judicial circuit will l>6 entitled t<j delegates as follows: Boone 6 Kendall .......... 6 DeK'alb 10 Lake 7 Dui'aga ... 6 McHenry 9 Kane 19 B. W. WRIGHT.

FQB CIRCUIT- JUDGES. Since the call for the Judicial Conven­ tion has appeared the question^ to who shall be the nominees has been qwte gen erally discussed both by the press arid the people, and as far as we can learn a large majority both of the bar and the people are in favor of re-nominating the present incumbents, Isaac G. Wilson, of Kane, Charles Kellum, of De-KaJb, and Clark W. Upton, of Lake. Surely no better nominations conl<fbe made. They are able, honest and tried men, who have occupied the bench with honor to them­ selves and their constituents, and there can be no good reason why they should now be changed to suit the whims of a few Mugwumps and political tricksters whose only aim is to pose as political bosses, and hide the cloven f<Sot under the cloak of "dear people." The Mugwump and Democratic syndi­ cate that now controls the Woodstock Sentinel, in their last week's issue, conies . out with a domineering direction to the Republicans of this Judicial District as to what their duty is at the approaching election, with a threat to bolt the nomi­ nation of the old Judges if it should oc­ cur. This is nothing new for that crowd, ior did they not, by their acts and votes do the same thing last Fall, defeating the regular Republican nominee for the Leg islature, and making the election of a Democratic United States Senator possi ble? Oh, but they are a sweet crowd to tjalk about the wishes of the people. In their dictatorial article they say: There is a feeling among the people of tie circuit that there ought to be a little new, and younger,-blood infused into the judiciary, and that if there was, there would be longer terms of court and shorter dockets. Now while jt is true that more court „,7 -Writ- ought to have been done in the past by our Circuit Court than has been, still it is also true and admitted by four- fifths of the bar of this county that the "lawyers are much "more to blame than the Judge, and there is not a lawyer at the McHenry county bar, who will not admit that Judge Kellum, who presides here most of the time, is perfectly feai less, an able Judge, and above all, an honest Judge. He knows no friend or foe when in the discharge of his duty on the bench. And we believe that we do not exagger­ ate when we say he has the support of nine-tenths of the bar^flSfSHenry county. This talk of "infusing younger blood" is all bosh, and coming from the source it does is humbug. Perhaps the Judge (?) who controls the syndicatehas ambitions that way ? He will do better dictating to his Mugwump and Democratic associ­ ates than talking to the people. They do not so easily forget his treachery last fall. The people should be on their guard •gainst this rule or ruin gang. The people want clean-handed Judges, and no better men can be found in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit than Isaac G. Wilson, Charles Kellum and Clark W. Upton, and we believe they will be nominated by an almost unanimous vote on the 5th of May. •A.O. Honest Dollar. The time has come when those who believe that the free coinage of silver would be productive of the greatest evils to the industry and commerce of the country, should arouse themselves to action. It is not true, if it ever wa« true, that there is a spontaneous popular de­ mand for further legislation in the direc­ tion of an increased use of silver as a money basis. The only strength tho agitation for free coinage ever had was (derived from the action of men who, having silver to sell, were directly in­ terested in making the public pay a large price for it, upon men whom they could persuade that free coinage will make it easier to pay their debts. Timidity is passing away. There have always been a great many men, in Con­ gress and out of it, who believed the free coinage* movement to be based upon most injurious false principles, and who yet dared not set themselves against something that bore the appearance of a popular movement. As soon as the facte are faced it is discovered that the demand lor free silver is a well subsidized and carefully nursed scheme, the promoters Of which are more noisy than numerous. It is seen that there is strong opposition, to free coinage in both the great parties and in every part of the, country. Even in the "silver States," stai called, there are many men who not onlyl see and admit' privately that free coinajce would inflict great injury upon the lui^d, but ttrho do not, believe that it would benefit their own section or even the owners of silver mines.--Honest Dollar.

'TTPHOON* , P&" Some weeks ago Dr. Moore, one of 3ibe F. M. B. A. men, was reported to have said: "If I should ever vote for «ither Palmer or Oglesby I could not escape the suspicion of having beeD bribed, and I would be compelled to leave the State to get away from such sus­ picion. The good name I wish to hand down to my children would be gone, and for that reason, if no other, I can never •Ote for either Palmer or Oglesby. The people would have as much right to suspect me as they would to suspect a Republican who voted for Palmer, or a Democrat who voted for Oglesby." And now that he did vote for Palmer, the <|uery arises in many minds; was he bribed, and will he leave the State? 1 possesses all the requislterf^cfa first-class slock and race horse, having size finish, great substance and speed, Heoota ti­ ed his record of 2::J1X at Janesville, Wis.Sent 12, 1890, in a blinking wind and ram storm,"in I a field of 8 starters, and would have gone [ much faster but for an accident.
