TOO MUCH CHICAGO. THE (ftUNTY CONVENTION. O. H. GILLMORE THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE. Nominated by Acclamation ! Tha People of the State Pay for Chioaffo^ Agg-randizemen t, The state ot Illinois has voted $45,000 j for the Omaha exposition in 1898. It, is but an indication what Chicago and Illi-j nois will do upon that interesting occa­ sion. They must back up the money by a public spirit that will be of greater value than the dollars. The young cities of the West are a part of Chicago, and the more they prosper and grow the bet- j ter for Chicago.--Inter Ocean. To this the Kankakee Gazette very ap­ propriately rejoins: "The sole idea of Chicago papers is what will benefit Chicago, and the test of any proposition is what effect will it have upon Chicago. The Omaha exhibi­ tion is a companion piece to the Nash­ ville exhibition, and the state of Illinois is to be taxed to support them because I Nebraska and Teunessee contributed to to the Chicago World'B Fair. Chicago is a likely and growing child, but she is an expensive and clamorous member of the household.- > (((^ SIMON WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1897. FOR COUNTY JUDGE, O. H. GILLMORE The Republican County Convention, at Woodstock, on Saturday last, done their work well. It was a convention con­ trolled by the people and machine rule received a black eye. O. H. Gilmore, the People's choice, on the morning of the convention, had ninety-nine instructed delegates, one hundred and twenty eight being neces­ sary for a choice. The balance were divided between A. W. Young, of Har­ vard, aud D. T.- Smiley, of Woodstock, the machine candidate. Could they have combined their strength Judge .Gilmore would have beew defeated, but the facts were there were many men on the Smiley delegations who were Gilmore men at heart, but through machina tactics their town bad been instructed, and while they would honestly carry out their instruc­ tions they could hot be used farther. The machine fought desperately and died hard. They were ready to promise For the next 30 dm s we will offer all kinds of Summer Goods fit extremely Low Prices.

England sells Japan goods to the value of fcwentv millions, and buys less than five millions worth.

Instead of using the money at its disposal to make con­ tinuous stretches of good roads as far as the money held out, it has alternated good roads with bad, each being one mile in extent. Thus, the driver hauling a heavy load to market, spins merrily along for a mile over an admirable roa«l, and then strikes a mile Of muck and mire. This makes him swear, of course, and when he finally gets through to the next mile of the good road, he appre­ ciates it all the more. The committee claims by this method it can more easily and rapidly arouse a general interest in road improvement. every office in the gift of the people for the next six years, the office of Master in Chancery being promised and offered to no less than four different men, that know of, with several towns to hear from. By these promises for now and in the future several towns were carried which would naturally have been for Gilmore, and it was these towns that were a thorn in their sides. From early morn until the convention was called at about 2:30 the fight was hot and fierce, the friends of Judge Gilmore standing nobly by their man and the result is in­ deed gratifying. As soon as the conven­ tion was organized an informal ballot was taken which resulted, as near as we can remember, as follows: Gilmore 107, Smiley 89, Young 58. On the first regu­ lar ballot being called Smiley and Young in neat and well timed remarks withdrew their names from the convention, and Judge Gilmore was then nominated by acclamation. There is no one man who can claim the honor of this victory. It was the people against machine rule, and the people have won, as they always will when they take hold of the matter in earnest. Judge Gilmore has just cause to feel proud of his nomination under such cir­ cumstances. No abler or more popular man could have been found in McHenry county to fill the most important office in the county, that of County Judge, than O. H. Gilmore. will be nearly as unanimous as was his nomination. of the spirit of socialism and all that it implies, including communistic anfl chimerical schemes for a "social democ­ racy," so called; there is too much toler­ ation of disrespect for courts and consti-1 tuted authorities; there is too much clamor for class legislation; too much inculcation of the idea that men can b< - j come rich without effort--by the mere Hat of the government, instead of earr-1 ing wealth in the good Old-fashioned way; and there is too much attention paid to cranks, blatherskites and politi-1 cal adventurer?, entitled to no consider­ ation, but who seem to have obtained the public ear, and are seeking to pull down the pillars of society.--David \ Bennett Bill.

All seats, except the one for which Corbett, of Oregon, in a claimant, are now filled. It thus requires 45 votes to furnish a majority in the Senate. The recent state­ ment by the Washington Post analyzing the membership politically shows that the Republicans have bnt 43, the Demo­ crats 34, the Populists 7, and Silver Re­ publicans 5. This shows that the Repub licans have not a majority in the Senate, and cannot hope to have one during the Farm Fagots. Farmers have commenced harvesting their rye.
