«, 1886. SkXfttor. Convention I Coatenilon, held at SI «u MI of tbi on record. Net thet nomination* vu dif- « u e x p e c t e i , M I t W W weeks ago that the old Judges wonld rtMivf the 1 o' a re-nonBlnstlon, but from tho tttte viivpotlinud nwhlM or Ksne County outraged made the Convention a stupeideu* firce, and Insulted eve IT delegate who did not agree with their : HI ni Bvhi judge W. D. Barry, (old Broad horns; the Heine*of Kane County, was In tho chair, and he had learned Haloes' tac­ tics so well that everything was "out of order* exoept such motions as were made his Ring masters. What these rinf«ters gained, or expected to gain by thus insnlttng the people, wo cannot see, bnt If we natstake not their chick­ ens Will MM IMMM U roOSt In due time. There are muttering* alt over the District similar to the following, which we clip from an Elgin paper: The Aurora Boet thinks that an inde­ pendent Indlcfal ticket composed of Judco B. H. bmltb. Judge R. H. Giry and Judge Sans toad would poll a great Mtajr votes In Aurora. Evidently the end 1s not yet. The ticket nominated at Elgin was as follows: For Circuit Judges.--Hon. Isaac G. Wilson, of Kane, Hon. Chas. Kellum, of DeKalb, Hon. U. W. Upton, of Lake. For the fourth placo, providing the bill becomes a law before the flection* Judge K. H. Gary, of DuPageiP i MP* Elgin Every Saturday has the loliowing to say of the Judicial Con­ vention, hold at that city on Friday last: "The judicial convention met In Elgin yesterd ty, elected W. D. Barry, of St, Charles, chairman, and. after the usual routine business, proceeded to carry out the cut and dried program. The three present judges of this, the twelfth judicial district. Messrs. Upton of Lake, Kalian of DeKalb. and Wll- son of Kane were nominated without expressed opposition. A bill Is now ponding In the legislature providing for four instead of three judge* to a circuit, and if this bill becomes a law it would be necessary to call another convention to nominate the fourth man. In order to avoid this the con­ vention yesterday nominated E. H. Gary of DuPage for the fourth man. The spice of the convention centered In the fourth nomination. The third and deciding ballot stood: E. H. Gary of DuPage, 33; B. N. Smith of Mc- Hcnry, 10; A. B. Coon of Mchenry, 6; Chas: X. Fuller of Boone, 1. The treat- went received by XeHenryj oounty was very ahabby and may cause "re­ grets" at eome future convention. The chair appointed a district committee as follows: Kane couoty.T.C. Moore; McHonry, M, L. Joslyn; Boone, R. W. Wright;Kendall, H. W. Hudson; De­ Kalb, C. W. Marsh; Lake, C. Whitney; DuPage, M. L. Raftree. There was talk of an independent candidate.after the convention adjourned. =K" - t • U: m 16 W Mi 19" Wo hope that no false sense of modesty will prevent our esteemed Mugwump friends from speaking their minds freely about Mr. Cleveland,* violation of the Civil Servloe law in his purchase of a pair of seal brown horses with long tails for tho White House stables. There should have been a competitive examination. Why shouldn't the Missouri delegation have bad the privilege of entering a team for the test? And why shouldn't the Kentocklens, after failing to get any man appointed to effioe. at least have - bad a ehanee to furnish a pair of Blue O™" horses to haul Mr. Cleveland out to the Soldier's Home? Besides, who knows but that a pair of piebald Mug­ wump roadsters might have shown the greatest staying qualities In a fair trial? If this sort of thing continues, we shall have the President picking out men as well as horses according to his fancy, and the Mugwumps know that would never do. MF'The Mormons ore gVowing dis­ couraged; the toils are dosing around their Institution of polygamy; many of the younger Mormons are becoming weary of the contest and in favor of compromising with other parts of the civilised world by rejecting polygamy. The Spring Conference of the church has this year for the first time been held out of Salt Lake. The Federal o(Boers are pursuing Presidents Taylor and Cannon with warrants anl they say In their annual address that there Is a reign of terror in Utah and that the hope of receiving justice from the Gentiles is like the hope of getting from the Algerine pirates. The "Saints'1 have also been greatly discouraged by the decision of the Chief*Justice of Idaho, who has ruled that Mormon; impanelled on a Jury are not eligible. In another case before court In Salt Lake City last week, prominent Mormon pleaded guilty en a charge of having more than one wife and declared in open court Lis Inten­ tion to abandon polygamy and obey the laws. M^By command of Gov. Oglesby four companies of the Fourth Infantry I.N. G„ with a gatllngrgun detach neat, left Joliet Monday morning for it. where the striking quarry men trouble. On reaching there liVifps were assaulted with stones I clnbe by the strikers. The troops I^Sir five until fotbearance ceased > • virtue when they opened fire pAKiill two or three men were killed 13iiM*ber wounded. At last ac- •11 was quiet, . f*lt.. terminable (jjftftttpbek on the ^fWlftlMs Scuatorslil.', the W# w York It ent mggpsts tht following sonslhlt and (awful method of fxittHtg a atop to such foolishness: The Legislature of Illinois has been for about three months bickering ar.d fooling aw«y its time »ver the question of the Untted States Senuorshlp. If the matter is not speedily settled, the house in which the Republicans have the msjority should fix upon a day for final adjourn­ ment; and if tho other rfoase falls to concur therewith, then, upon being properly notified of this efleot. Gov. Oglesby would, trader the constitution of the State, have the power to wad journ tho General Assembly to such time a* he thinks proper, not beyond the first day of the next regular ses­ sion." This power, the requisite con dltion being supplied, the Governor should exercise; and having done this, he should appoint Gen. Logan to rep­ resent the State in the Senate of the United States, until a new Legislature shall be elected and a Senator chosen thereby. Illinoi* is a Republican State by a majority of twenty-five to thirty thousand; and there Is no doubt that Gen. Logan Is the man whom the over whelming majority of Republicans In that State want for United States Sen­ ator, Give them a chance to vote on this question in the election of a new Legislature, and they will settle the dispute In a way not to be mlsunder stood. It is very certiln tint neither Mr. Sittig nor Mr. McMillan, both of whom claim to be Republicans, but have persistently refused to vote for Gen. Logan, would be re-elected. They have, on the score of personal animosi­ ty, betrayed their party and ay«r££re sented their constituents. I^On the 21st inst. Senator Evans introduced "A bill for an act to estab­ lish and maintain a Soldiers' and Sail­ ors Homo in the state of Illinois, and making an appropriation for the pur­ chase of laud and the construction ot the necessary buildings* We have carefully read the bill in question and think there should be little hesitation iu passing it. There are not a few old soldiers and sailors in every state who served their country faithfully %nd cheerfully, that are now in needy cir­ cumstances. Old age is upon them; other disabilities. Induced by exposure and active service, perhaps have dis­ qualified for labor, and who, under ex­ isting rules are unable to gain admis­ sion to the National homes. There seem8, under the present provisions, nothing l>efore many of them but beg­ gary or tlio poor house. To obviate the impending suffering and shame In our own state. Seuator Evans has Intro, duced the above named bill. It pro­ vides for the purchase of lands contain­ ing not less than 40 acres nor more than 330. For the land purchase and the erection of suitable buildings there is appropriated 9800,000. Should the measure receive savora- ble action, commissioners are to bo ap­ pointed to locate the home and receive all donations In the aid of such Instl* tution. Once located, Its management will be by a board of trustees, as tho other state charitable Institutions We think the people of this great and wealthy state will generally approve of the miasure.--News. 9* Otto Funk, otherwise known as John Talbot, a young medical student of Chicago, was arrested a month or two ago for stealing books from the public library, and was believed to have been plotting to blow the library up, explosives being discovered in bis room. He was afterwards released. Last week on Monday night a man waa found digging a ditch on the Chicago University grounds, and on being ar­ rested claimed to have been employed by Funk, who waa also arrested, and confessed that he was preparing to blow up his sweetheart. Miss Jennie Gibson, with dynamite, as she ap­ proached the University along a path she was accustomed to take. Be bad concealed two death traps beneath the surface, and was connecting them by wires extending through a trench to a pit near the observatory, two hundred and forty feet distant, from which point of observation he was to fire them at the right time. He should be confined for life in an insane asylum. 19*Far JDere raise horses In this sec­ tion of the country and for years past all have run to heavy Normans, Clydes and English Draft horses, for their colts have brought goo^ prices. But the question arises, will not the market soon be overstocked with that class of animals. Certainly the demand for good driving lioises Is greater than for heavy draft and the eastern buyers seem to want them almost exclusively. This is the latest quotation of the horse market In New York. The city trade for harness horses has been fair during the past week and value) steady but comparatively slow. Ordinary quality harness horse sold at 90@135 per head; roadsters at $176(&500 per head according to the quality; phaeton horses, $600(3800 per pair; heavy draught horses of coarse quality, 9140 @170 per head, and when of choice quality at $500@800 per pair; stylish cairlage horses little more than nomi­ nal at |90®(ai,&00 per pair.--True He- publican, In* are to ft* tea*** that tin ooneeolloa bo l»>d Igtc le tho eeaaon.
