THE sOREHEADs GO HOME DISGUISED,
The Lynde County Convention to nom
mate delegates to the Republican Congress
sional Convention, met at the Court House
at 2 p. NJ. to-day. From early morning
till the convention was called to order, the
various delegates were assembled on street
corners canvassing the chances for the
minor offices Of sheriff and coroner, and
six delegates to the Senatorial and Repre-
sentative convention. This canvass was to
weed out and spot any one tinctured with
Hawleyism and be prepared to slaugh-
ter them. All were looking out for
a post-ofhce, a guager's or col
%lector's berth and were %tireiess in their
hunt for Hawleyites. Deep and earnest
were the protestations of the many aspir
ants that they were always Lynde men
never did ike Hawley. And as the hour
arrived for business the number of Sheriff
payne's successors had reached five, Geo.
Mcneil, of Hampton, Geo. Brown, of But
falo Prairie, Alex Owens, of Black Hawk,
Aaron Thompson, of Andalusia, and
Col. Beal, of Rock Island, to
whom the Office was promised by the
Guyer ring two years ago. Nobody want
ed to be coroner, as far as could be learned,
except that old-time champion office-hold
er, Charlie Knox. There was some delay
in calling the convention to order, by rea-
son of the last years chairman of the cen
trail committee, DR.. Gregg, being a Haw-
leyite and not in the ring. At
go
they permitted him to call the iug-handle
to order, which he did, by reading the call.
and before they were aware OF it, the Doc
tor, contrary to his usual modesty, rushed
out a speech explanatory of the action of
the committee in calling the convention
and the harrassing he, as chairman,
mad been subjected to. lie then
advised them to instruct the new commit
tee not to call future County Conventions
until after the Congressional Committee
had apportioned the delegates. He then
asked the convention to pass upon his &C.
ton, either to commend or c%ensure, as a
matter of%justice. in view of the criticisms
Of the Union. AT the close of this speech,
j. q. Wynkoop, of Cordota, was elected
Chairman, and Riley Hayford named for
Secretary, but this gentleman was excused
because he couldn't see well enough to de,

Moline, was then elected Secretary.
On motion of j. Ross Mills the follow
Ing named were appointed a committee on
credentials, viz j Ross Mills, Rock Island,
Judge Gould, Moline A. F. Russell, Iu-
ma j.. X. Glasscock, Cordova; j. W.
Lloyd, Edgington. While this committee
were consulting the democrats, Liberals
and Dead Beats" as to who were properly
elected to vote for Judge Lynde there
was had a
SUPPLEMENTAL SPEECH BY DIR. GREGG.
He privately informed the reporters that
his object in asking the endorsement was
to quiet" the abuse he had received, for
fear both parties would drop their candi
dates and nominate him for Congress,
thereby s%taining all the character he has
left, after the harrassing he recei. ed for
not calling the Convention at the dictation
of outsiders. While the committee were
performing their duties, all sat In silence,
At last Judge Gould announced that they
had authority for declaring that the follow
ing named would vote tor Lynde dele
