JSP'The attendance on the .Elgin Board of Trade Monday wag quite large arid the offeringeof butter aggregated 59,400 pounds. The copious rains and coming grass have lowered the price and bidding wag not brisk ; 15-cents was offered ,for several Jots," but not taken. One small lot sold at 16 cents, the 'remainder sell­ ing at 17 cents. At this latter price 40,800 pounds were 6old for $6,836 40. The price a year ago was 200120\ cents. i&P^One of the finest halls ever design­ ed for any similar purpose is being built at St. Louis for the Republican conven­ tion.

EIGHTH DISTRICT SiSNATOBIAL" CONVENTION,. Delegates representing the counties of Boone, Lake and Mc Henry, * com prising the Eighth Senatorial District, met at 1:30.,p. M. on Wednesday, April 8, 1876, in the opera House at Marengo, r- The convention was called to order by F. K. Grander, chairman of the senator­ ial committee, and R. W. Wright, of Bel- videre, was elected temporary chairman and C. A. Lemmers temporary secretary. On motion the chairman of each dele­ gation was instructed to hand to the secretary the credentials of his delega­ tion, and, in case no coutests be found, that the persons named therein be de­ clared entitled to seats in the conven­ tion. v The reading of the names was waived, and on motion the temporary organiza­ tion was made permanent. It was moved and carried that each delegation select an assistant secretary, in accordance with which. Boone county named F. T. Moran, Lake county named C. A. [Partridge and McHenry county named D. T. Smiley. On motion the roll was called for the nomination of candidates for senator.' Boone and Lake made no response, but W. A. Cristy, of;McHenry, presented, the name of the Hon. Flavel K. Granger, and Chas. Whitney, of Lake, moved that Mr, •Granger be.nominated by acclamation, and it was carried unanimously. * - - .. On further roll call of the counties,. A. C. Fassett, of Boone, presented "the Mme: of D.-A. Fuller, and Chas. Whitney, of Lake, presented the name of George R. Lyon, for representatives, and on mo­ tion ot W. A. Cristy, of McHenry, the nominations were made by acclamation without a dissenting vote. The following resolution, presented by Chas. Whitney, of Lake, was read and adopted: Resolved, That the chairman and sec­ retary of the convention, on certifying to nominations for representatives to the secretary of state, also state that it is desired that the tickets to be used on ejection day be printed one and one-half votes for each of the candidates nomi­ nated here to-day for members of the general assembly.

No one can put himself nearer the barrier than another. They wait. The horses heads are all turned to the gate. All are attention. The gate is lifted and awav they go. That is all there is of it. Rough on Grover. At Frederrokstown, Mo., a few days ago, the Madison county Democratic convention adopted the following reso­ lution: Resolved, That we congratula+e our weighty chief executive, Grover Cleve­ land, upon his newly acquired reputation as a successful duck hunter, and that we greatly regret that he has not given more time to waging an unsparing war upon the flocks of threatening and dan­ gerous mallards, pintails and canvas- backs, and less time to co-operate with •foreign money lenders for increasing the bonded indebtedness of an already over­ burdened people by additional issues of interest bearing bonds payable only in gold. KS" Wm. McKinley has been in public life for many years, has filled with credit to himself and honor to the state and nation every station in public life to which he has been called by his fellow citizens. His private life is absolutely without blot or staip. He is entitled to aspire to the highest honor in the gift of a nation he has served well in peace and war. He commands therespect and con­ fidence of political friend and foe alike. He is incapable of consenting to or con­ niving at the employment of dishonora­ ble means or weapons in the interest of his political fortunes, or the furtherance of his political ambitions.--St. Albans. Vt., Messenger. choice for senatorial committeemen : Boone--W. C. DeWolf, A. C. Fassett and F. 1. Hall, of Belvidere. Lake--Chas. Phillips, Waukegan; John . Ballard, Libertyville; Thos. Strang, Wadsworth. McHenry--Jas. B. Perry, McHenry; D. T. SmileyvW^odstock; Geo, A."' Ben- nett, Marengo. A. W. Young, of Harvard, presented the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the senatorial com­ mittee be instructed and empowered to fill any vacancy that may ocr-ur upon the ticket now nominated because of death, resignation or other cause. Short addresses were made by Messrs. Granger, Lyon and Fuller the nominees, and by Gen. Hawley, of Chicago, who appeared in behalf of the candidacy of m. E. Mason for I'nited States Sena­ tor, and, after the passage of a vote of thanks to R. M. Patrick for the use of his opera house, on motion the conven-. tion adjourned. Igr The movement for the election of senators by popular vote has reached the point of-being favorably considered in the committee on privileges and elec­ tions in the benate itself. Undoubtedly the sentiment of those of the American people who have thought on this subject at all is in favor of a constitutional amendment which shall permit the peo­ ple to vote, for senator as they do for governor. In that case the two senators from each state would be balloted for by all the voters. At the beginning of the government, when it was arranged to choose presidents by electoral boards and senators by legislatures, it was not thought safe to trust the people too far. Experience has shown that the people are the only ones who can be trusted, and the nearer elections are in touch with them the better. Kentucky has just given the country an object lesson on the subject of electing senators. <( A Washington correspondent says. "General Harrison's friends in Congress are unanimous in declaring that there is no truth in the report that there was i combination to bring about his nomina ti°n at St. Louis. Representative Henry of Indiana, says: 'There is absolutely nothing in the stories, so far as I know, and I am in constant communication with those who would be first to know of such a movement,' and Representative Hanly, of the same state, said: 'The people of Indiana have always taken Gen. Harrison at his word. They believe implicitly in what he says, because they know he is not a demagogue or a trick­ ster. Of course we would all like very • much to see Gen. Harrison President again, but we are not planning to have him nominated. Should there be a long- drawn-out fight in the convention, end­ ing in a deadlock, Gen. Harrison's name might be suggested. That, however, is only a possibility, not a probability. When the time comes the Indiana delega^ tion will act as men and aB Republicans.' Other Indiana Republicans in Washing­ ton talk the same way." A Stringent Order, The Chicago & Northwestern this week promulgated one of the strictest orders ever given on account of liquor and em­ ployment by the company. No member of any brotherhood or employe of the railroad, engineer, fireman, conductor or brakeman, will hereafter be reinstated and no grievance orgrievance committee will be listened to on behalf of any per­ son who has been dropped on account of each; Being seen entering or coming out of a saloon, or even smelling whiskey upon the breath of an employe, will be considered sufficient cause for discharge. Spring Fever in the Feet. If that very painful and troublesome complaint, spring fever in the feet, is present, the hot foot-bath should be used every night, adding a spoonful of alum to the salt and mustard, and rub­ bing the feet afterward with alcohol and lemon-juice in equal proportions, or with a weak solution of carbolic acid. This treatment will speedily?, reduce the swell- ing, and the tired feeling and soreness are at once relieved by either lotion. They are valuable remedies and they ought to be on every toilet table.--Fr6m "Spring Ailments," in Demorest's Maga­ zine for April.
