REPUBLICAN cAUcUsEs.
Hawley Rspudiated.

The complete decentralization Of the Re
publican party in this county was demon
strated on Saturday at the various Repub-
lican cau,uses, to select delegates to the
Republican Couaty Convention. For
weeks both the Hawley and Lynde sides
have been telling all the truths they could
about each other, until both sides have
been proved land grabbers irrigators,
thieves and villains. The fight eliminated
finally at the caucuses Rock Island Town
ship, met at the Court House. The crowd
was composed principally Of Democrats
and Liberals who had assembled to see
the farce, and, if needed by the under
purp in the fight" to take a hand at vot-
ing. Young Olsen called the meeting to
order and nominated David Halves for
chairman. The Lynde party moved as a
| substitute the name of Thomas Murdoch.
Capt. Robinson sprang to his feet and de-
clared that "a substitute or such a prosti-
tute was out of order" Olsen decided as
directed and put the question, MIR. Halves
was voted out by a prolonged NO.. Mr..
Murdoch was elected. The meeting. was
then organized in the interest OF Lynde.
With the assistance of Democrats and Lib
erals, this was easily done. The farce
of voting for delegates was then enacted,
with the following result, Lynde 437,
Hawley $50.
Some of Hawley's friends attempted to
assist the judges in their duties and were
pitched OYER the railing. The method Of
voting was by all tanning Up into the
stand, no list of names being kept; and the
Hawley men say that Democrats, boys, un-
Inaturalized foreigners, etc, etc, were per-
| mitted to vote for the Lynde delegates and
| that some of them voted several times each.
This was keptupfora an hour. TWAS ahot,
sweating, swearing crowd and many Of
| Hawley's friends went home sick. Furth'
err returns from the county have not made
them feel any better,
After the result was announced the ma
liority of the victorious went off to beef
up, some being already drunk. Other:
visited Judge Lynde at his residence, anC
held a mutual admiration meeting to con
graduate each other. Judge Lynde thank.
ed his friends for their expressions of con
Gdence and respect and hoped to deserve
them. He didn't consider himself a can,
| didate for Congress yet-but should he bf
he would try to merit the continued
confidence of his friends. The speech o
| Mai. Beardsley was the only one remarka
| BILE for originality, the gist of it being tina
Hawley had missed his calling in being the
attorney of the few instead OF the repre-.
sentative of the people in Congress ano
that as a member Of the bar he was happy
in the thought that Hawley was to be re
turned to the practice Of the law where
Can't, Robinson would have a chance tC
pay for his services out of his own pocket
The other speeches were of that thin sort
usually made on such occasions.
A few guns from the Rock Island Light
| Artillery, a band Of music, some sing'ns
at the places of r~efreshment, etc., etc.
finished up the night.
The Lynde party claim to have carried
the delegates in every town in the count.

enough to explain further the reasons for
his motion, and II give his views Of the
policy which should be pursued. lie was
hardly given a chance to explain and ad-
vocate his motion when Geo. W. Einton,
who is not a Republican. and who was noun
mated by the Democrats aud Liberals fer
