Republican District Convention Tlie Republican voters, of McHenry and ]<ike Counties, comprising the 8th Senatorial .District, are requested to send delegates to the Republican Senatorial and Representa­ tive District Convention to be held in the Village of McHenry, on Thursday, September 16th, at 1 o'clock p. M., to place in nomination one candidate for the State Senate and two ' for the House. McHenry Comity will be en­ titled to twenty-two (22) delegates, and Lake County seventeen (17), J. Y.

The Republican party In tliis county Is now ready for the conflict, having put In nomination a complete ticket, with the exception of the legislative, the Convention for which will be hehl on Thursday of nest week. The Coun­ ty Convention on Wednesday last nom­ inated for candidates gentlemen who are, In every particular, worthy ot the votes and confidcncc of the people. They are presented as men without •pot or blesnish upon their reputation as citizens. Our candidates are true and tried Republicans, and therefore will command the uul e<l support of the party at th« bullot box iif November. The re-nominal ion of EMERY E. RICHARDS f'ireuit Clerk, by acclamation, was but a just recognition of a faithful and efficient officer. His private and official life have been above reproach and his education and busi­ ness training eminently qualify him for the responsible duties of the office, lie is always found at his post and we venture to say that no man who has ever held this office, since the organi­ sation of the count}', has given 6uch universal satisfaction as E. E. Richards, and we predict there will be as little opposition to his election as there was to his re-noiuination. MAC CHURCH for two terms previous to this has filled the office of Sheriff of this county, and his election the com­ ing November is beyond all doubt. In the discharge of his duties when he held the office before, he treated every wan with kindness and respect, and never has he oppressed any man unnec­ essarily in performing many of the dis­ agreeable functions of his office. Mac Church made an honest Sheriff, and the people of the county will set the •tamp of approval on his past services bf electing him by an overwhelming majority. BON. IRA. R. CCRTISS, the candidate for States' Attorney, was also re-uomi- aated, by acclamation, which of itself Is a sufficient guarantee of his popalar- ity, and a high compliment to his effi­ ciency, to be again selected for this im­ portant office. Mr. Curtiss will receive the solid vote of the Republican party In the county. DR. W. W. COOK was the unanimous choice forJCoroner. As there is more bonor than profit in this office, Dr. Cook win not get rich on the emoluments. However he is a worthy man and will receive the hearty endorsement of his partjrat the ballot box. KOIIHIOB or the OM 05th ItegtaoaL EDITOR PI.AINDEALER.--The old 95th Regiment, HI. Volunteer Infantry, held their Fifteenth Annual Reunion at Harvard, .Saturday September 4th. A goodly number of the "old Vet- erans" assembled around those old tattered and war worn colors they were wont to follow at times when courage and reckless darinjg character­ ized almost "every campaign and battle they were engaged In. The sound of the fife and drum seemed to send a thrill of Patriotism through our great­ ly diminished number, and had the "Long Roll" been sounded such "Rally­ ing around the Flag" by the old War scared Veterans would have seldom been seen Head Quarters were estab­ lished at the \Valker House and why Butt Walker was not made Quarter Master General, Commissary General and Generallissimo long long ago is what we (the boys) would like to know. Rations were issued until all were satisfied, an event that "Boz says" should be placed on record. Immediately after dinner a business meeting of the Association was called in one of the Parlors of the Walker House, the records examined, reports made and received, the old officers of th eassoclation re-electfed fora"Third Term" and the selection of place for next meeting left 111 hands of commit­ tee, , "The fall in call" wa» now sounded and the boys "Fell into Line" as of yore with Capt. Wm. II, Stewart in command, and marched to tire grove where preparations were nicely made for speaking. Capt. A. E. Bourne of Woodstock delivered an address re­ plete with the Patriotic sentiment of the'"Boys" and citizens assembled. After which Hon. M. L. Joslyn made a few remarks followed by Mr. Marshall "One of the Boys," all of which was well received. A brief Biographical sketch of Col. L, S. Church was read by the secretary, a feature and purpose of the association that should receive a proper recognition by the Press of our county. The 1 iving: are here and can speak for themselves, but the "Noble Dead" should speak upon our records. We again fell In and marched back to the Walker House, when a general Re-Uue was the order of the day. The best of feeling prevailed among the Boys, and their social uatures were re. vived, their memories refreshed, and old stories again rehearsed. As the sun sank in the west one after another fell out for his camp, feeling well pleased with this day's enjoyment. These Reunions among the old soldiers should be encouraged by one and all and our citizens aid them by their counsel and countenance. B. The Inter-State Exposition oi Chicago. The Eighth Annual Exhibition of this Institution in announced to commence September 8th, and close October 23d, 1880. FUR CONGRKSS. Notwithstanding the opposition by political tricksters, both open and se­ cret, the Hon. John C. Sherwin was re­ nominated for Congress from this, the Fourth, District, at the Convention which was held at Elgin on Thursday last. While the outward opposition to Mr. Sherwin has been very weak, the machine politicians have secretly left no stone unturned to prevent his re. nomination, and that they have sig­ nally failed in their dark designs, we consider a glorious victory for the people as against these scheincrs. Wo venture the assertion that no man who ever represented the Fourth Congressional District, made a better record the flrst term, than has the Hon. John <J. Sherwin. His garments are entirely free from the least taint of the ring, and he is in every respect a man of the people, and by them will be re-elected by uu old-fashioned ma­ jority in November. The people of the Northwest are fully acquainted with the general character and purpose of this impor­ tant organization, and it can hardly be necessary to assure our readers that annua! exhibitions present to them the only Opportunity, from year to year, of keeping abreast of the world in the progress of industry and art. The simple truth is that the half mill­ ion people who regularly attend the Exposition, expect to find there what­ ever there is new up to dape, and the inventors and manufacturers who have produced anything new and important expect to show it then and there to tiie people. For the present year we are assured that returning prosperity to the coun­ try has brought forth its fruits in this as in everything else. The pressure for space has been for beyond the ca­ pacity of the" mammoth structure in which the exhibition is to be held, and the quality of the display in all the departments will be very choice. '1 he management has expended about fifty thousand dollars during the past year in the beautifying and im­ provement of the building, and has spared neither labor nor expense in "preparing for the public a brilliant, at­ tractive and instructive display. Alj railways give their lowest excursion rates to visitors. .. ... 1 ^ 1, & CD'S •' -fi+i N e w G r e a t G o l d e n M e n a g e r i e , AND FROST 'S ROMAN CIRCUS.

And its reputa­ tion nnsuliied. its show possessions are literally enormous. •9"Between the excessive Demo­ cratic majority in Alabama and the Ill-timed speech of Wade Hampton, the Detnocracv is quite sorely troubled just now. Both were cases of over- doing. The Alabamians _ wished to •how their allies at the North that the South was sure, or as the ancient, if got venerable Robt. Toombs put it, •*11 you hear any man say that Han- •^pock cannot carry all of the South, you nay put him down as a d d fool." Of course he can carry it. And that is not all. either. A6 the same indiscreet old man says: You may depend upon it 6ir, that ••Yank" or no "Yank," if elected, the old boys of tiie South will see that Hancock will do the fair thing by them. Or in other words, he will run the machine to suit them, or they will run the thing to suit themselves. They are not to be played with any longer. The Alabama election returns show precisely that spirit. The counters-.! ti of that Jjyjate have "run tiie tilling to Suit themselves." Wauconda! PINE~ TAR BY TIIE BARREL. BY THE HUNDRED LBS.
