The subject of County officers Is oc- fiHpylng considerable attention at present, although somewhat early, as the election Is nearly six months away. The officers to be elected are County Jud«e, County Clerk, Treasurer, Sheiif! and Superintendent of Schools. The PLAINDEALER thus far has taken Slut little interect in the contest that has been going on for the different offices, but in justice to Us readers mast at least mention the names ol the different candidates. For the officej of County Judge at Ibis writing we think there is no op­ position to the re-nomination of tbe present able Incumbent Judge O. H. GUmoie, He has fll'ed the office the past four years to the entire tatisfac- tt*n of the people. He did yeomans service on the stump durfcig the last Presidential campaign a*d is deserv­ edly popular. Be will be te elected bj: an almost unanimous vote. r For County Clerk Col. Wm. Avery, Who has held tho office for the past four years, is a o*°dldate for re elec. tion, and has rot now and probably Will not hare any opposition. The most arduous duties of any office in the County is connected with this office, and as it has been customary to give this officer two terms we can see u« gofld reason for a change at this time. Co). Avery has made an able and efficient officer and deserves, as he will M doubt receive tbe unanimous vote •Itbe County Convention. For the office of County Treasurer We have beard but little, and person­ ally know of but one candidate for tfeftt offioe, vlz: W. I*. Morse, o! Nunda. Mr. Morse Is well-known in tbe county ftltd seeds no Introduction at our hands. ||« w*vl>l fill the bill in every respect •»<! by his strict integrity and business Mwtlfl nations would make as good Treasurer as McHenry county over had Wm shall expect to see him unepi •KMisly nominated. fTor tbe office of Sheriff, ah. there comes the strife. It must be the fact that Grover Cleveland stepped from the tfftetiff office Into the Presidential chair, almost at one step, has made this offi* so snxioualy sought after. Be that as It may we hear the following names prominently men­ tioned for that offioe. Capt. George Xckert, of Woodstock ;D. A. Stedman. Marengo; Henry Keyes, Algonquiu; W. B. Walker, Harvard; C. N. Culver, Richmond; besides a number of others. In speaking of the first named, Capt. "Eckert, the Sentinel of last week says: For the Sherlfl's place there are eeveral candidates--but none strikes tbe Sentinel as forcibly as that of Capt. George Eckert.

Commissioner of Highways of t'ie town of Wauconda, Lake County, be­ fore the State Convention of Road Commissiuers, held at, Spring­ field. III., April-27th and 28th,"lSS6. Mr. Hogan said: I am glad to meet such a large as­ sembly this evening with such a strong desire to attain the best po«si le de­ vice lo accomplish the success of their desire to obtain permanent roads, have reason to believe that it is a sub­ ject that interests the close attention of every citizen that travels over the highway. We are all a lover of good roads, and cannot ailord to be without them. Tnis important subject has been lpst sigiit of under our old way of repairing Roads under the super vision of path masters. Gentlemen 1 have seen good straight farmers when called on to work on the road bring a garden hoe. Had he not been ashamed to do so he would probably have brought a meat fork, and I be lieve if this old fogyism of working roads Is pot aban loncd some of us on the flats of IlLnols will get drowned attd as I have ofiered a resolution to p*y our tax in money, think that we are coming nearer to the attainmen of good roads. First wo want money Second great care, should be taken in the selection of men to entrust with this money, who will expend to the best atvantage and put it where it will do the most good to the greatest number. Next is to have some knowl edge of selecting tin proper tools for the section where he lives. Those tools are like medicine. The tool that is good for one section of the country is no good for the other. The same medicine will not cure the same di3 ease. We are all here from different towns and counties and we must be our own judge to choose the tools thai is the best adapted to the soil where it is to be operated. Gentlemen this puts me in mind of our milling conventions, i lie only way we could ever obtain our great advance of milling of.to-day, was to hold meetings and squeeze the sense of every mind to its utmost capacity. It required difierent cons'ructions of mills to obtain good results from the difierent grades of wheat, soft and hard. Wheat mills that would be adapted to one would not be adapted to the other. So we find in road making. In the sections where them is plenty of gravel there Is no reason for not having good roads; only drain the surfice water oft. Io other sections wh- re gravel is scare it would be a great expense to get a permanent road. Road making Is a science and we should learn its re­ quirements before we can hope for much success. It is my experience in our black poru* soil, roads where gravel is too scarce, that to raise our road bed as high as we can con venientJy over the surface of t<>e road bed, round it In the middle, then tile each side of the road leading to some natural or artificial outlet, and keep the roads smooth, that in time we would have a passable road most of the time, but It would not go under tbe head of a permanent road. It. would take a great many thousand dollars in our town to make a perma­ nent road. But in this way we could keep it passable and it Is about time to go to work on the loads, so as to get them well beaten down before Fall rains. I suppose I am speaking to four hun­ dred men this erening who have had the misfortune to become a Road ».om- missioner like myself. I will say to you, gentlemen, go to work with a nerve and a system. Do not get dis couraged by crank, chronic, faultfind­ ing grumblers. Highway men can stand a great deal cf grief. Go ahead and what you do do It well. Let the benefit of your labor be seen for year# to come. We learn by this Convention that the old way was not a profitable way of makiug roads. A load of Some­ thing here and a load of nothing there, and like the Irishman's Ilea, when you wanted to find it It was not there. It had disappeared In the mud. Thus tlie adoption cf a practical system of road improvements has be­ come necessary to our beautiful State of Illinois. I have faith to believe that each Comml-sioner and each In­ telligent farmer will show a willing­ ness to learn the requirements of our roads in tha difierent sections where he is located, and it wi.l be but a few years when we will have passable roads and I believe that the influence of this meeting will, in a great measure, in­ vite application. saw ?
