In his article headed "Oath Bound Duty" he tries to mislead those who may not be posted on court matters, by having them think that the clerk of the court has something to do with sheriff's sales; that the clerk has the power to say that this man's bid or that bid shall be accepted or that the clerk has the power to say when the bid shall be paid or costs paid. Now anyone that knows anything about these matters knows that the clerk of the court has nothing whatever to do with the sheriff's sales. An order of sale is ordered out by the attorney for the plaintiff. All the clerk has to do or can do is to issue the order On Saturday last, according to the call of the committeemen, the republican county convention met for the purpose of placing in nomination a county ticket. Early in gress, and will use all honorable means for his election, believing him to be an energetic, stalwart Republican who the day it was plain to be seen that will labor to his utmost ability at all the republicans had not all been absorbed by the alliance as claimed by their secretary and lecturer, Mr.

The clerk has nothing more to do or say in the matter than any one else until after the sale is made and the sheriff returns the order of sale into the clerk's office with a record selection of Mr. Teele.

Resolved, That the question of prohibition having been settled by constitutional amendment, any re-opening of the matter by a constitutional convention would be unwise.

Resolved, That we demand by our next such enactments as shall protect the interests of the farm the first district met one hour before the county convention and proceed Four of the six candidates are union soldiers. ed to nominate a candidate for commissioner. Three names were placed The convention was a perfect model of fairness, not a sign of fraud or trad before the convention, Messrs Geo. ing in any way. Mr.

Hooper's addresses proved him paid, if the land is bid off by the plaintiff in the order of sale or if sold to some one else besides the plaintiff, the amount of the bid is paid into the office, when the sale is entered on the docket for confirmation at the next term of court. The clerk has not one word to say about the amount to be bid or accepted or when either the amount bid or the costs shall be paid, and all this the Hon. Dr. knows is true as well as I do. I have not heretofore deemed any of the various slurs the Dr.

has been aim ing at this office since he has blossomed out as a friend of the people worthy of notice. The people of Rooks county know whether this office has been conducted in their interests or not, and I do not believe that the flimsy misrepresentations of Dr. Powell will have any effect on them.

Mr. Hooper had never been mentioned this connection till the day of the convention. James Dougherty is one of the best men in the county and the convention made a wise selection in nominating him. The alliance wished to dictate one of the nominations but it could not do it. We would judge from the little off handed speech made by our candidate for representative that he is a very well posted man and fully able to cope with any of the alliance talkers in this or adjoining counties.

We will not chal-lange them to meet him in debate because they would say we were trying to get them to draw a crowd for him, but we will state that he is the winning man. The renomination of Messrs Farr, Mullin, Graham and Ham by acclamation was a just tribute for their faithful service. No better set of men can be found anywhere than these gentlemen. They are always found at their posts ready to perform their duties. Sunday School Association, atBaily school house, Wednesday, October Yoxal, Geo.

Benedict and James Dougherty. Ballot was then taken and the convention saw fit to nominate Capt. James Dougherty of Corning township. After the commissioner convention adjourned the delegates proceeded to the court house. The chairman of the central committee called the convention to order and read the call; the secretary then read the list of the delegates entitled to seats in the convention.

But four or five vacancies occurred in the list. On motion E. J. Donnell was made temporary chairman, and J. H.

Mitchell temporary secretary. Mr. Donnell made a few remarks in the interest of the republicans of the county, and eulogized Plumb, Ingalls and McNall. A motion was then made to allow the delegates present to cast the entire vote of their township. Carried.

Motions were then made to allow the chair to appoint the following committees: Resolutions, Order of Business and Organization. The chair asked a few minutes time to arrange the committees, which was granted, and the convention called for a speech. Calls were made for Mr. Hooper, who respounded in a very impressive and affective manner. The chair then announced the following committees: Resolutions: I.

O. Middaugh, A. G.Muir and W.H. Hooper. Order of business: J.

B. Kelley, ers against all trusts, combines and corporations, alloting equal and exact justice to all, and also that a proper regulation of freight rates be made. Resolved, That we demand a liberal revision of the tariff in favor ot western interests, and instruct our representatives in congress to work toward securing the same. 'Resolved, That we commend the Republican party in its past liberal pension legislation, and that we demand of our representatives in congress the most liberal pension laws 'consistent with the general condition of the nation. Resolved, That when a piece of real estate is given in mortgage to secure the payment of a debt and the mortagee accepts the same as ample security, and from any cause a foreclosure ensues, we believe it to be an outrage of the most infamous character to allow the mortgagee to bid in the land at one-fourth its value and obtain a judgment against the person of the mortgagor for the other three-fourths of the debt; and we demand the enactment of strict laws prohibiting this nefarious practice.

Resolved, That we are in favor of the free coinage of silver and such other legislation as may be necessary to increase the volume of currency adequate to the needs of the people. Resolved, That we demand such laws as will prevent the alien ownership of large tracts of land. Resolved, That we favor the election of our board of railroad commissioners by a direct vote of the people, a uniformity of text books for all of our schools, and a wise and judicious curtailment of official salaries.
