"The contractor at Ford's Theater has fin

of remodelling that building, and has
turned it over to the authorities. 1t isnow

violence must bring it to an end quickly. 1t

President was received with great enthusiasm

searches his many off.hand spesches in vain
for the words that throw his radical oppon-
ents into such an eestaey oftury against him.

Samuel Bowles, Esq, 1t Hanpson, for repre-
sentative; Capt. J. W. Ballard, Of Andalu-

was respectable attendance. and an excellent
ticket nominated.
Mr.. Bowles IL one of the oldest settlers of
the county, having come here about thirty
years ago, located the land where be now
lives, and steadily pursued the business of .
farmer from that day to this. About twenty
years ago he opened GOAL on his farm, and
this has been source of considerable wealth
to him placing him among the wealthisst far
mers in the county. Notwithstanding his
coal business, he steadily pursued the oocu-
patton of q farmer, and is, to-day, one Of the
best farmers in the county.
In politics, Mr.. Bowles was always q whig.
until that party dissolved since which time
he has acted with the republicans. He voted
for Lincoln and Hamlin, in 1860, and for Lin
coin and johnson, in 1864, and still adhsres
to johnson, the man he helped elect. He is
an ardent friend of the Presiesnt's policy OF
restoration, and decidedly opposed to the rad
ioal schemes for keeping the Union divided.
He is a firm and competent man-precisely
the man we need, in this crisis, and he ought
to be elected.
Capt. Ballard is a wagon maker, of Anda-
lucia, whore he is now carrying On the bust
ness. He has been a resident of this county
for many years, and is we'll qualified tor the
Office. Early in the war he was q member of

All we have to say about this matter is that
if the radical who wrote the above wants the
t.soldiers of Illinois should know" of it. he
had beat come here and tell this tale to the
soldiers of Dckey's regiment. The proba.
