? Mil WEDNKIDAY, HAY SSTH.IEW. jr. wam ei-YKje, ••©"""The County Conten TfoodstocS, OH Saturday last, for ft purpose of choosing delegates to I Judicial Convention, was the m harmonious gathering of the kind that has been held in this county for many a day, and was unanimous in Us ex­ pression of preference for Hon. T. D. Murphy, as their candidate for one of the Judges of this Judicial Circuit. BeMtattoa «f imtrnetions were passed, the Olive Branch was thrown offt to Lake and Kane counties, in the Indications of our preference for their favorite candidates, and the Conven­ tion adjourned with the utmost good feeling. The few sore-heads Who were present went away Reeling that where Judge Hurphy was best known ha had no lack of real and sincere friendi. MTThe last veto message «f the President struck the Democracy he- tween wind Mid water, and they have net been so badly demoralised ilnce theytsaumei eontrol of Oongrsss. ~ They are not only disgusted With everybody else, but with themselves and are looking about with much anx- ifty for a scapegoat on which to saddle their triple blunder. The fact is, they eould not have played more surely Into BepuMlean hands had they sat up night* devising a plan for so doing, and we assure them that|however great their own disgust Is, It cannot equal that entertained for them by the great body of the American people.-- The latter can admire shrewdness and ability, even while opposing the pos­ session ot these traits, but there is a universal feeling of contempt for fools in politics, even though they be of a mail's own household of faith.

I«aac G. WLI-I •on, of Kane, Hon. Clark W. Uptoii.of j Lakp. and Hon Charles Kellam of Da- Kalh. M candidates for Judges of the Circuit Court of this District. The! first two named were undoubtedly the] choice Of the people of the district] for two of the places named, but thai strongest man before the people, Hon.1 T. D. Murphy, of McHenry, was beaten] In a manner and by means that should! stamp the concocters and perpetrators! therof with infamy for *11 time to] come. - • • Wef do not propose at this time to go I Into or recite the particulars that! broiight about this result, but merely to] say to our readers that it was oonsum-] mated through a trade put up andoon.( cocted between, parties in Katie, Lak< t>e Kalb and Boone Counties, who jealous of the growing popularity Judge Murphy, and without the know! edge of the people, who, had they fc an instant suspected«the design 01 these scheming politicians, would have| put their seal of condemnation upoi them in such emphatic terms that thei would have been no mistaking theii meaning. And this base treacherj from counties like Kane and Boone who are to-day under so many obliga tloos to McHenry for past favors, comei to aay the least, in very bad grace. We may have more to say in relatic ttf this matter in the future, as we ca neither forgive nor forget such ba political trickery, but for the present we refrain. On Moiiday next, June 3d, the Elec-| tlon will take i>lace, and'the Republi­ can ticket that will be presented for] your suflrage will be "for Judges, Cir- [ cult Court, 13th Judicial District Clark W. Upton, Isaac Q. Wilson, Chas.| Kelhim." f ' i^The Bavarians, people of a little town in Ohio, endeavored, a few nights ago. to lynch a man for eloping with another mau's wife. That the victim was from St. Louis bad no in­ fluence, strange as it may seem, in the decision as to the death penalty. The rascal had stolen a pretty wife. Now the thief could not have committed the theft without the assistance of the woman. She, too, ran awav. She was doubly guilty, because she was a wife. Did the fastidious Bavarians lynch her? Of course not. Her beau. rather pleased them. Doubtless they, one and all, would have been glad to run away with her. But they could not with the male eloper in the way. So they gracefully hung him over a river, into which he dropped and escaped. If the man fad been a murderer, a defaulter, a seducer, >a horse thief, or anything honorable in crime, he would have been safe. But to steal a wife, who was willing to be stolen, was too much. Bavarian jus­ tice choked with the idea. Bavairia is too finliealihy a plaoe to be near Cincinnati. C. F.
