FKLLGW CITIZENS:--We approach you with a request you will, we are fully convinced of It, not reluse, but grant gladly and cheerfully, for not only are you going to help thereby a good and useful work, but you also will be plentifully rewarded. The Catholic Community of Jolins­ burgh, with great endeavors and large expenses, has succeeded In building its own beautiful church, the chaste beauty Of which is an ornament to the county, yea, to the whole State. The outlays the community had to undergo for the erection of the building and its furniture were very heavy, but cheer­ fully did each one contribute accord­ ing to his means. Still there could not be done quite enough, and the com­ munity sees itself obliged to look for further aid at the hands of Its fellow citizens. In order to do this In a pleasant way, and still to be enabled to raise the yet necessary funds, It was resolved to arrange a Fair, and full of confidence the various committees elected for the purpose approaclTMieir felljw citizens, requestlug their aid. There is a good work to be done, and no good citizen ought to try to evade It. Every one taking an Interest in the pubHc welfare, every one not put­ ting bis Individual advantage above that of the common Interest,every one wishing that religion and It ministers be supported will, as we firmly hope, take part in the Fair arranged by us. Should anyone be preveuted from put­ ting in his personal appearance, he may at least show his good will by some material aid, which will be ever so gratefully accepted. Fellow Citizens: There Is little asked of you! What you give you receive back again, for it is our firm belief that no one visiting the Fair will ever regret, having done so. The charming boar ride on our beautiful river, a con­ cert given by a skilled and complete military band, the hope or being the lucky winner of a fine present, a deli­ cious supper, and last, but not letst, a merry ball, are attractions well worth their price. Now then, fellow citizeua, come one, come all, pass a merry night in the midst of your friends and bring home with you the happy remem­ brance, also the t;onfiction: It was a good work we helped to further.

Despite the rain the attend­ ance at the show was good both after­ noon and evening. The resolutions adopted at the late McHenry County Republican Conven­ tion have no uncertain ring, and place the party In this County squarely on record as unalterably opposed to brl fa­ ery and bargain-and-sale in politics. Those resolutions say in unmistakable p l a i n n e s s , " N o b a r g a i n a i d - s a l e i n ours ! " I t Is honorable to the spi r i t and moral cuaracter of the Convent ion t o t ake such a s tand .

Brown Daniel Weeks , Wallace Monear , Ed Barnard , Henry Christian , Richard Overton, Richard Lawson, S. R. Ward.' The members present at the County Convention were empowered to cast the vote of the town. Only one mem­ ber of the delegation attended the Convention at Woodstock Saturday, though we could iearu of no grave rea­ son for keeping them at hotne than tiiere was a circtu in town The fact Is, the belief that the Congressional nomination was already sold for money made everybody feel that a County Convention would be useless , and the t i m e a n d m o n e y s p e n t i n a t t e n d i n g i t thrown away . Ere th is r»aches the reader's eye we shall be more enlight­ ened on the true inwardness of tills Congressional muddle. We are Informed that On ttif 6cca- sion of ? l tc"Bennie Gee"entertainment the band were taxed a dollar license. I t w a s a s m a l l a f l a i r , t o b o s u r e , a n d i t Is to be presumed that the band don't cry over the lois of a dollar , and we don't think they ought to have paid it. The bati'l hired the "Bennie Gee'1 com­ pany to come here and give an enter­ tainment ir. order to raise funds for themselves, and it was just about as f a i r t o m a k o t h e m p i y l i c e n s e a s i t would be to make one of%ur merchants pay a license when he hires a man to work i n l i l t s tore . The r u l i n g i s t ha t our local tradesmen and our local en­ t e r p r i s e s s h a l l b e f r e e f r o m l i c e n s e . I f there is a local enterprise here which o u g h t t o b e e u c o u r a g e d a n d h e l p e d , i t Is our band. Their playing has added not a little to the sum total of pleasure which our citizens enjoy, and has done not a little to give the village a good reputation for musical culture abroad. I f the baud boys had ever been nig {ardly about furnishing music on all occasions It would he different--but they have not, and it is looked upon as an unfair piece of business to make them pay a license. We hope the boys will not "lay it up," for th«y can rest assured the sympathy of the public is with them, and th»t public ought not to be blamed for the action of a penny cure aud pound foolish board.

The programme ( to be presented hereafter ) wii . be varied and entertaining, consisting of selec­ tions by the Band and by the Rich­ mond and Genoa^Choruses. The repu­ tation of the local talent engaged, as well as that of the Richmond Comet Ban J is too well known to need praise h e r e , a n d a s s u r e s t h e p u b l i c t h a t I n this Concert they will get the great musical treat of the season.

It is said that several thousand ot liis photographs have been distributed among the faithful in McHenry county. This is a novel electioneering scheme, and E. M. must be very desirous that people shou ld become f a m i l i a r wltb the "lineaments divine" of the would be next Congressman from the Fifth District. Perhaps he thinks no man can resist the seductive sweetness of that classical countenance; that when the horny handed granger looks upon It. all. memory of the unsavory past will vanish, and all opporition melt away like a morning fog before the splendor of a soaring sun . By the way the likeness is said to be a good one, but we cannot giye a personal opinion because we have not been favored with one of the photos--an omission which grieves us to the heart, and which we fondly hope may yet be remedied when the Demo-Repubi can Statesman sees how bad we feel about It . "It looks just like the old Devil, and you can see the Devil sticking right out of his eyes," we heard a man on the street corner remarking a day or two since. "Yes," rejoined another, "and I'd ruth* er see the 'stinkinlst Republican in the State go to Congress than him , for i f he had .stood up to the rack we might a had a Democrat in the Senate instead of such a thing as that ere Jack Logan." This conversation between two Demo­ crats. and it occurred iust as reported, looks rather discouraging to Mr. Haines' prospects with a party on whom he has most reason to look for support. However the Democratic party will be very apt to forgive everything Mr. Haines has done con­ trary to the tenets ot the faith, wheu they remember how faithfully he has always stood by the whisky interests so dear to the average Democratic heart and stomach. But, seriously, those who laugh at the Idea of Mr. Haines' aspirations for Congress, may have to laugh on the other side of their faces before the thing is through with. In view of a possible split In the Re­ publican ranks over the Ell wood-Hop­ kins bargain aud sale, the chance for the Democratic notnluee is good. Mr. Haines sees this as plainly as anybody. He is an astute political manipulator, an expert,and withal nn able man, and 11 he can capture the Democratic nomi- natiou in this District he will make hot work for the Republican party !n case of a split. The Republican vote of the District is not far from 20,000, against a Democratic vote of about half as large. Kane and DeKalb, where Mr. Hopkins is presumed to be strong poll about half the Republican vote . If a s e c o u d c a n d i d a t e i s put i n t he f i e l d I t Is hard to tell where the party will lan 1. The chances, it is thought by many, would be in favor of the Demo­ cratic standard beirer. If we mistake not the t emper of the Republ icans in this part of the District, there Is many a voter who wo.ild rather see a Demo­ crat represent us for Mr. Ellwood'a un­ expired term , than to have a candidate like Mr. Hopkins thrust down McHenry County's throat, willing or unwl'ling. In such a contingency we know a good many Republicans who would not deein it an overwhelming calamity to see Mr. Haines or some other Democrat elected . Heaveu grant , however , that the Republican party of the "Old 5th" have the wisdom to purge i tself of the rottenness ol bribery and jobbery by putting Into t!ie field as its standard bearer 'a man of clear head, clean hands and irreproachable character."
