heats whom it is an insult 10 the farmers
to call their representatives or spokesmen.
And who attended that convention? The
only delegates that had the remotcst sho" OF
an appointment were those from Bureau,
Henry, Knox, Putnam Warren and Grundy
counties, six Of the thirteen counties in the
district, and not including the large counties
of Peoria La Sale, Rock Island, Woodtord
SC, &c And yet it is affirmed Of the AS
delegates appointed by the six counties above
named two.thirds were in favor OF the nom
ination of Judge Lawrence, and his name
was only Withdrawn from the convention
when it was found that some 60 odddclegates
were foisted on the convention by the maneu-
verine of the railroads, like the 1G from
Peoria, 10 from this county, and so on.

attorney because he is the farmers candi-

farmers can only properly hurl back by cast

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION,
High Endorsement OF Judge Lawrence.
Judge ThOrnton-GOv. Palmer-HOn. G. V.
Dietrich.

The reckless accusation having been made
against Judge Lawrence that he is the friend
and candidate of the railroads, and opposed
in sympathy to the farmers in their warfare
against railroad extortion and injustice, such
cloud of witnesses has promptly arisen to
protest against and disprove this SANDER that
even the Chicago Times of Wednesday con.
cedes that the impeachment of Judge Law
renee on that point has failed and must be
given up Among the numerous voluntary
witnesses in Judge Lawrencc's behalf who
press for hearing, we can only find room
for Judge Thornton, Gov. Palmer and Hon,
G.. V. Dieterich. But while hundreds more
are anxious to be called to the stand these
ought to be enough, in all conscience, to show
that the farmers in Judge Lawrence have
real and reliable friend committed in their
favor in hundred ways, while they really
know nothing Of his opponent except that,
up to the day of his nomination, he was a
railroad attorney

THE FARMERS ASSOCIATION,

The proceedings of the meeting Of the La
Sale County Farmers Association, at Ottawa
on Saturday last, are published on our sec
ond page. At the meeting in February, a
constitution had been adopted, and the differ.
emf societies and oranges in the county invit
ed 20 send delegates or members to constitute
thc County Association. The meeting on Sat,
urIay was therefore the first real meeting Of
the County Association proper. Hence the
delegates got together without knowing each
otl!ar or without any regular order or pro
gTammc of business before them Under The
circumstances the business was somewha,
confused and unsystematic, yet il must be ad
mi''ed that the strong, natural good sense o
The members enabled them TO do the business
properly before them in q prompt. practical

COULDN'T MAKE 1T WIN,

Mr.. w. W. Gilman's little game to smuggle
an Endorsement of the Princeton judicial
fraud and its nominee, Mr. Craig, through the
Farmers Association at Ottawa, last Satur
day, almost deserved success for its ingenuity.
He knew that thrcefourths of the delegates
present were republicans, and setting up "A pit
eouS howl of having been slandered by the
FREE TRADER, paper for which republicans
generally have no special liking, he thought
he could deal Judge Lawrence an effective
blow over our shoulders. But unfortunately
for his scheme, Judge Lawrence's friends
were too earnest to be fooled by howl against
the FREE TRADER.
But did the FREE TRADER slander Mr.. Gil
man? 1t said that neither the Farmers Asso-
citation of La Sale county, nor any meeting
Of the farmers of this county, called for that
or any other purpose, had sent delegates to the
Princeton convention, and that the 1S dele
gates who pretended to represent this county
in that body were virtually the appointces of
Bill Gilman Is this not strictly true?
Has Mr., Gilman, or any other white man in
tIIt ''uHtN, tilt NIlNNh w iuslSt Coluty
meeting of farmers oranges, associations, or
of farmers in any shape or name was ever
held, or even called, to send delegates to
Princeton for any purpose? 1t is possible
two or three oranges may have held meetings
and appointed delegates, but few oranges
are not La Sale county, and it is conceded
that of these even none appeared at Princeton,
save only the four or five whom meeting of
such stawart farmers as W. w. Gilman and
D, d. Guiles had appointed at Mendoza.
When these four or five gentlemen appeared
at Princeton, W. w. Gilman was put on the
committee on credentials, and by him the
names of the 1S pretended delegates from La
Sale county were handed in, of whom but 5,
we are told, were actually present. Now by
whom were these 1S delegates "in buckram"
appointed if not by "Bill Gilman"
We have the sincerest respect for Mr.. Gil
man as ahigh.toned, courteous gentleman, the
soul of honor in every social or business re-
lation; but as a political fugler in rs despe-
rate case as that he was engaged in last
Saturday, he is a shocking failure.

THE GRAIN DEALERS.

Following are the proceedings of the meet
ing of grain dealers and Shippers, referred
to in our last as having been held at the Cliff
ton Hotel in Ottawa, to protest and adopt mea
sures of protection against the unjust discri
mination" made by grain inspector Harper
at Chicago, against grain shipped to that city
by the river and canal The gentlemen sign
ing these proceedings, it will be seen, handle
about half of all the grain that reaches Chi
cago and pay the heaviest end of the tolls
collected on the canal, They are in aposition
therefore, to make themselves felt, as well as

Resolred, that in selecting men for office of

the conditions and workings of the canal and

And in justice to those patronizing the canal
a material reduction in tolls will have to be
made or they will be obliged to abandon the
use of it.
Resolved, that the grain dealers of the river

the present outrageous assessment which
compels the assessment of property at its full
value, taxes a great deal OF it twice, and al

meeting in question recommends the asses

The Canal tolls show falling of some
$4,000 for the month Of April, as compared
with last year, which is attributed to the dis
satisfaction of the shippers by the canal and

CIRCULAR LoGIC-The FREE TRADER last
week ventured to express its surspise that the
editor of the Ottawa Repubfcan, especially
since his recent shabby treatment by Presi-
dent Grant and his party managers, should
continue TO defend so beastly an outrage as
Grants treatment of Louisiana. The ground
upon which the Republican placed its defence
of Grant-"that the highest judicial authority
in the state.'had recognized the Kellogg gov
ernment''-we showed, by quotations from
the senate report, written by Senator Carpen-
ter, of Wisconsin, and endorsed by o. u. Nor
ton, to be utterly false and Kellogg's exercise
of authority pure and shameless usurpation.
To all of which the Republican makes this
indignant reply: The Republican does not
apologize for Grants course in Louisiana. -.
against Il state government recognized by the
highest judicial power of the state" But
this is reasoning in a circle. The point is,
that TIE highest authority of your own party
affrms that the highest judicial authority
aforesaid was sham and fraud.
The Kellogg usurpation in Louisiana is as
fiagrant as it would be tor Gov. Koerner with
a band Of bummers to drive Gov. Beverdge
ont oispringfield and set up his own authority
there. The people of Illinois would end the
usupatlon IN day by handing kocrncr and
his rui'ians over TO a sheriff; and the people
lof Louisiana would wind up Kellogg in
three days by the same peaccabc means but
Tor the support he receives from Grant.
