The Republican County Convention, which WM held at Woodstock on Sat­ urday last, was one of the roost harmo­ nious gatherings of the kind held for many yean. Every town was fully represented, and It seetned to be the aim of each individual delegate to do that which would be for the best Inter­ est of the Republican cause. Although this la what i« called an oil year in pol­ itics, every Republican seems to be in dead earnest, and the result will be an old fashioned Republican majority in November. Ia the nomination fur Conntj officer*; there was no opposition except for the office of Sherifl, for that office there being five contestants before the Con •entlon, but the prize was captured by Captain Oeo. Eckert on the thirteenth ballot. The balance of the t icket was nominated by acclamation. Otthe different candidates it is use­ less for us, at this early date, to make particular mention. They are all well known, and tried men, and in ourjudg ment |the strongest ticket that could have been made. Later in the canvass we shall have something more to say in relation to the nominees. Trie following la the ticket nomina­ ted: Fbr County Judge--O. H. Gilmore. County Clerk--William Avery. County Treasurer--Wm. H, Stewart. Sheriff-- George Eckert. Superintendent of Schools--Lester Barber. Congressional Convention. ' At the Congressional Convention. Cpr the Fifth Congressional District, held at Elgin, on Tuesday, June 1st. our present able member, Hon. A. J. Hopkins, was renominated br acclama­ tion. Every county was fully repre­ sented and the best of feeling pre­ vailed throughout. Stirring resolutions were parsed which we will publish in foil next week. Mr. Hopkins tenure to be c.leoted by nt least 12000 majority. 19* W. P. Morse, who announced himself as a candidate for County Treasurer, withdrew his name from be fore the Convention, his friends think ing that he entitled to anil should rrccive a more lusrative position Even the opposition to him in the Convention on Saturday were open in their promises that he should receive their undivided support for the office of Circuit Clerk two yeirs hence. Whether these pledges are kept or not remains to be seen in the future, but WO qpine shout I Mr. Morse live and re­ main in the County, the people will tee to It that be is not cold out by any political Ring, great of small, (^Congressman Hopkins was again called upon by the Republican minor­ ity of the Election Committee of the House of Representatives, to present tha legal phases of the contested elec­ tion case of Page vs^Pierce, of Rhode Island. His speech on the question is a keen legal argument, and the proofs therein exhibited are convincing in fa- tor of Mr. £Pierce, the Republican in­ cumbent, who was fairly elected. It speaks well for Mr. Hopkins* eminent legal acumen that he has twice within - three months been charged by his com. pi It tee with the duty of reviewing the Ipgal points of election controversies which, under the House rules, are at tfte best very intricate--Beacon. J(^*ln a vigorous editoral in its issue of the 24th, in which are discussed •ome of the probabilities of the next Presidential campaign, the Utica N. Y. Herald says of President Cleve­ land: "He will be tested by the promises and the failures, the assump­ tions and the blunders, the expecta tions and the disappolutments that mark his administration. By a tainted eablnet,by Ignorance and imbecility In foreign aflairs, by varlence with his party in Congress, by inability to ad­ vance a single measure of public poli­ cy, be will furnish abundant material for his own condemnation In the tribunals of his own party, so that the people will be denied the chance of visiting their Indignation upon him at the polls." (SruThe land or the free, and the home of thfc brave," 1» where America stands to day--the brave, dead; the assassins free. Governor Oglesby, the noble old' Commander, now In his dotage, is bu*l y engaged in setting tho assassins free, or granting respite to the condemned and convicted mur derer in order tiiat some expert may have time to step in and discover some germ of insanity which lias been lurking in the family, and has been In­ herited by the doomed assassin, that it may be the m^ans of procuring for him a full pardon and set bim free. Only a few days since he granted a sixty days respite to Pauton the brutal Elgin assassin. Who wasno have been luing May 14. and a day or two later he respites Dacy, the murderer of Alderman Gaynor. He pardons Max well, tho brutal murderer, from a life lorg sentence, because some one had represented to him that Maxwell was liable to die in prison. This was ore of the most inhuman and brutal cases of man -slaughter on record, no cause for it but a few dollars that were In the pocket of his victim. Dacy and Panton hhd both been tried twice for murder, and twice convicted, and In each case the plea of insanity was made part of the defense, and on that plea ably defended by counsel, a jury of twelve men In each case had de­ clared both men guilty; and the court on that verdict had sentenced them to be hung May 14th. Governor Oglesby now grants them a respite on the ground that a spark of insanity mar be discovered lurking about them, which may result in setting these two guilty wretches free. Twk»e tried, twice convicted, twice sentenced to be hung, but Governor Oglesby steps in and prevents what the court lias decided to be justice, proper and right. While the authorities of Chicago are now engaged in suppressing crime .by bringing the anarchists to justice. Governor Oglesby is cleaning our penitentiary of the most brutal mur­ derers that ever inhabited its walls.-- liocheUe Herald, fgrln view of the present troubles respecting the fisheries. It is of inter­ est to read what Daniel Webster, when secretary of stale, «aid 36 years ago when he beard that cruisers were to be fitted out by Great Britain to en­ force her supposed fishery claims under the treaty of 1818. He said: The fishermen shall be protected in all their r.ghts of property and in all their rlglus of occupation. To use a M&rbleheMd phr*?e, they shall be pro­ tected book and line, bob aud sinker. * The treaty ot 18 8 was made with the crown of England. If a fish­ ing vessel :e captured by one of her vessels of war aud brought in for her adjudication, the crown of England is answerable, and then we know whom we have in deal with. But it is not to be expected that the United States will submit their rights to be adjudi­ cated upon in the petty tribunals of the provinces,or that they will al.ow our vessels to be seized by constables and other petty officers and con­ demned by municipal courts of Canada and Newfoundland. New Brun-wick or Nova Scotia. No! No!! No!!i Furth­ er than this, gentlemen, 1 do not think It expedient to remark upou this topic at present; you may be assured it is a subject upou which uo one sleeps at W ashington. MOBB INDIAN OfTTRAOT.fr JUfe In Arlzono is not very pleasant. A few score of savages find good picking there among the tens of thousands of whites who are trying to conquer homes out of the wilderness, A fresh band of the red desperadoes have burst loose from Geronlrno'g band end are going about searching for women to disembowel and children whose eyes they may gouge out. These pastimes of the noble red man, •tlr up indignation In the west, but by the time the news reaches Washington Officials they are ready to weep over the fact that the Indian only got ten white blankets last winter instead of twenty«five, or the supply of canned peaches and "A1' (Ugar had been lessoned a little In quantity. The troops have been in hot pursuit of the Indians, The trouble with the troops is that they are always in pursuit-- they never catch them. In otder to stop tbe horrible outrages •f Geronitno's Indians they should" be •arrounded and every one put to tbe sword. The lives of a white mau and 'women are worth more to civilization than the whole nation of greasy. lousy grates. We learn Capt. C. A.

NEW PATENT COOLER 9 H*. •' The boycott has been pretty thoroughly tried. Tbe laboring men have boycotted their employers, the employers have boycotted their hands, railroads have boycotted o.her rail roads, the newspapers have boycotted and been boycotted, and in fact we have had a wide-spread and destructive epidemic or boycott. Most of us have had all we want. The boycott was a new craze, and bad to run its course, the same as the fifteen puzzle, roller skating and the Mikado. We do not hear so much of it as we did. There is nothing illegal in the boycott, and the action Of the New York authorities in arresting men who organize a boycott hardly seems justifiable. It heeds no law to do away with it. It will depart of its own accord. If a body of men choose to refuse to buy goods of any person, no power on earth except des­ potism can compel them to do it. But the boycott has been placed upon firms and individuals for such trlvai causes thCt it is in disrepute. It has gone out of date. We bid it farewell gladly. It will remain one of the curious fea­ tures of the labor agitation. Our Chicago Market Report. Prepared Expressly for the PLAIKDEALEK by Our Own Correspondent. CHICAGO, May 31.1886 Weaker markets in the east and abroad, and excessive offerings at home has causcd a weaker feeling, and a lowering of prices in all the grain markets, , Wheat is active at the decline, but the prices are unsettled and have dropped over a cent. Corn rules weak under heavy re­ ceipts and in sympathy with the de­ pression in wheat. Oats are lower in price nnder moder­ ate demand. Vegetables are in fair request. Armour & Co.. during the last few days have sold 7,000,000 lbs of canned beef to the French government, about 1,000,000 lbs of bacon to the United States government, and 200,000 lbs of meat to the Canadian government. Cattle are active but prices are rather low in common grades. The receipts fell oft to 6,000 bead, bring 2 300 less than came in the day before and 1,000 less than the receipts for Friday of last week, and to the smaller ofierlngs was the strength entirely due, Tbe arrivals were Jighter than were looked for, but the decline of 25 Having recently purchased and lit ted up the Shop in Nicholft* Block, we are now pre. pared to furnish our customer* with Fresh aid Salt Head O F .
