While in attendance at the late democratic
state convention we learned, from democrats
of Peoria county, that they intended to run
v. T. Dowdall, Esq, editor of the Peoria
National Democrat, for the legislature. Mr..
Dowdau is q man of energy and ability, and
a true and reliable democrat Just such q
man as il needed in this crisis, and will make
a popular and useful member of the legisla-
turs. 1t would be just recognition of his
useful lsbors to place him In this position.
Judge Thompson who has been nominated
by the national union republicans and demo-
Gratis to represent the fourth district OF this
state IN congress-, Is at present judge of the
circuit conrt IN the judicial district composed
of Mercer and adjoining counties. He lie Q
gentleman of high character, first rate abili.
ty, and possesses legal and SCHOLARLY attain
ments Of superior order. The convention
which nominated him was composed of tvo
full delegations, one representing the democ.
raoy and the other the national union repub.
licans in the district. Judge Thompson re-
oeived IS votes on the first ballot, and his
nomination was made unanimous. a letter
from him was read in the convention heartily
endorsing the proceedings of the national un-
ION convention at Philadelphia and the dec
laration of principles put forth by that body.
1t Is confidently predicted that Judge Thomp
son will defeat Mr.. Harding, just nominated
as the radical candidate, by more than twelve
hundred majority Chicago Times.

The editor eff the Quincy Hhig, on learn
ing that the democratic and conservative
convention which assembled at Monmouth,
on the Oath instant, had nominated Judge
Thomp soa, spoke of our nominee as follows :
Nothing has occurred to us for years that
has so completely taken US by surprise, or affect
ed Ia with deeper and more painful regret, than
this nomination by copperohnson convention
of an old friend. When use the term friend,
we mean it in all of its significance. We have
been personally AMI intimately acquainted with
Judge John 5. Thompson for the last fourteen
those long years we have worked together first in
the whig, and then in the republican ranks. We
had the honor of first suggesting him for the
position of Judge of the district court, to which
he was elected, and in which he has served with
honor and distinction. But for all and every
thing we have said or done for him. he has re.
turned a doubleiold recompense."
Our neighbor of the Whig is surprised tina,

The Democratic and Conservative Ticket

The ticket nominated by the state conven-
ton at Springfield On Wednesday is one to
which every democrat and national union
man in Illinois may point with sentiments Of
more than satisfaction - with feelings of
pride.
Theophilus Lyle Dickey is native of Ken
tucky, where he was born in 1872 His fa-
Their was the Rev. John Dicksy, a clergyman
of the Presbyteria church, a man of great
eloquence and fervent piety. His sentiments
were lat day when sbolitiOnism had not
come into existence az q disturbing political
element adverse to the institution of slavery,
which he did not, upon occasion, scruple to
denounce with apostolic blows and knocks"
Young Diekey. however, about the period of
his sjority, became, by the death of n ma
ternal relative, the owner of about q dozen
slaves. He took about the same time, wife,
and inaugurated his matrimonial life by
emancipating his slaves and moving to Illi-
nois. He first located at Macomb. removed
thence to Nashville, and in 1889, fixed his
residence at Ottawa, where it has been ever
since.
In 1916, he volunteered in the Mexican
war, and Yves commissioned captain in the
regiment commanded by the brave and inter
pid Col. Hardin, of glorious memory. LII
health compelled him to resign, and he re-
turned before the war was over. In 1858 be

held that position until 1867, when he resign

Judge Dickey entered the recent war, in
1861, as colonel of the 4th Illinois cavalry,
