The Sangamon county Republican county convention win held yesterday. The result if as: 4 delegation tq the State convention was |«lected unani­ mous for Oglesby for governor, and E). T.

The delegation selected are unanimous for Hon. If. X>. Demet} for Secretary of State, and Hon. S. P. Swig- ert for State Auditor. The delegation will be divided on Attorney General. McCartney's friends, however, claim a majority, 'pils delegation will pR- pose the placing of llop. David Davis at the head of the Illinois delegation to the National convention. Spring­ field politician favors Senator S. M. Cullom. They want a man who has through these years been a true blue Republican. Man who straddle the fence upon important public questions are net IN detcand. Gov. Hamilton presents a yery se­ rene front. He says: "Possibly I may be defeated, and If f do, you will find me doing M much work for republican success In Illinois as any man." MEMOKAL HAI.L, at the State House, was dedicated to­ day. Tl^e dedicatory address was de­ livered by Gov, Hamilton, and the historical address by Gen. I.H.Elliott. Tlie attendance was quite large. The hall is elegantly finished.

' R ASH ADVICE. One blowing day last week, when the sidewalks were slippery as glass, a' woman stood In front of a door on Clif­ ford street, and strewed some ashes from a pan she held on the icy walk. As she did so. the wind blew tlie coal- dust rather freely ojrer her, an^ a tuau going past said: "If you will turn your back to the wint} it will blow the ashes frpujf you instead of over you." The wpinan thanked hiqa with her eyep, out did net move. Indeed, she oould not without losing her baiauue aud the ashes both. "Let me show you,!' said tt)4 m«n klmll}'. as he removed a fur glove and grasped with a determined gpr the weli-filitid ash-pan. "You can throw them over the walk in this \jrav, and not be liable to put your ove$ out. It's as easy as rolling oil a Iqg." »nd he braced his baek against the wind *iul gave a generous flop to the#ajil{-.pan.
