The farmers, mechanics, and other la
boring men, as well as other citizens of Il
nlnols, who believe, as declared by the
state Farmers Association, at Decatur,
on the 18th day of December, 1873, that
through the departure from the primary
principles of our government, as premnl-
gated by its founders. and through the mn
prudent exercise of the highest preroga-
tive OF the freeman, the right of suffrage,
we, the farmers Of Illinois, as well as 9TH
er industrial classes, have, by their past
action, aequiesced in system of class leg
islation which makes the great majority.
slavlshly subservient to a minority: that
this condition is clearly traceable to the
fostering protection which has been &C
corded by our legislative bodies, both state
and national, to the financial, mechanical.
manufacturing, and Transporting interests,
enabling them to accumulate an undue
proportion of the national wealth, and en-
couraglng them in the exercise of the cor
ruptlng influences which have become as
ISOLATED with our legislative system that
the preservation of our national life impor-
tunateiy demands that all American voters
shall attend with care all preliminary nom
nations and elections, so as to insure the
election OF competent and honest men to
all offices in the gift of the people that
the recent record of the old political par
ties Of the country is such as to forfeit the
contidenceand respect of the people; and
that we are, therefore. freed from all allie
glance to them, and should act no longer
with them and counties are hereby inyit-
ed to send delegates in the proportion of
one delegate to every 5000 inhabitants and
fraction exceeding half that number, un-
der the census OF 1870, to convention to
be held at the
STATE HOUSE in SPRINGFIELD, on WED
NEsDAY JUNE 10th.
for the purpose of nominating candidates
for State Treasurer and Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, and the transaction of
such other business as may be brought be-
fore the convention.
In each county where County Farmers
Association exists, the President of such
Association is requested to immediately
call county convention of delegates from
the various townships or precincts, on such
other basis as, after consultation, he may
find most expedient, Of the farmers,
mechanics, laboring men and other citizens
OF said county, in sympathy with the opin-
ions expressed in this call; and such con
vention is requested to appoint delegates
to the state convention, to take such other
action as may be necessary to perfect the
organization, and nominate and elect their
candidates.
In each county where County Farmers
Association does not exist, the vice presi-
dent for that district of the State Farm.
ers Association is requested, in conjunction
and consultation with the officers Of the
industrial organizations of that county, to
call a convention in like manner, for like

bomb-shell in a purchase Of old metal.
He thought it defective or condemned

for war. With other metal he put it in
the cupalo Of the establishment. By
and by dull noise broke in on The
mon 9tonous hum Of the foundry; the
whole house shook, and Mr.. Rogers did
not know which way his concern was
likely to go whether up or down. 1t
was the bomb-shell that had produced
the uProar. The cupaio has undergone
extensive repairs since then, and the
next bomb she'll that will get into it,
will not be under the management Of

The Smack in School, by Andrew

say on "The Closing of the Year"
Miss Harman, had scarcely commenced
to read, when the lights began to fail;
there was something wrong with the
gas apparatus; slowly, but as surely
as fate itself the lights died out. There
was q ghsstliness about the slowly de-
clining light that in fancy seemed like
the dying rays Of light that flicker On
the border Of the "Valley Of the Shad-
ow of DEATH" A real sense of danger
did not possess the mind, but there
was an uncertainty about the manage
men. of the gas that was exceedingly
unpleasant. After an adjustment of
the gas "machine the lamps were
relit and the entertainment continued.
Frank Weygantte succeeded 9. The Clos
ing Of the Year." in Little Lifters "a
defamation. Little LIfters" was sue
ceeded by song, "The Sweet Story of
DID," by the Fourth School. The Sweet
Story was succeeded br dialogue, "The
Young Orators" by Harry Mcclellan and
Eddie Watts. The contention of the ora
tors was succeeded by peaceful declama-
tion, ssThe Scholars Mission," by William
F.. ktka. At the conclusion of this we'll
said piece it became us to leave the Hall,
which We did, and that is all that we saw
of the entertainment. The people who
were there are not yet through with The
good talk about it.
