Fire at Wilton Junction.

THE ARGUS of last evening (the 20th)
gave a brief account of great fire then
raging at Wilton junction, Iowa, 26 miles
west of this city. and where trains branch
Cor Muscatine. The fire commenced in an
elevator just after the passage Of freight
train, at 2.l5 p. NJ Help was asked from
Davenport, and the Fire King steamer, and
the Rescue hand engine, with thoir hose
and companies, were taken out to Wilton
in 40 minutes from the time of starting.
They could do but little good Tor want OF
water, A favorable change of wind alone
saved the town. The loss is estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000 distributed
between 30 and 40 persons. Insurance

yators, one church, one bank, several stores,

Repres entatiye Men.

Though no special effort was made to
procure a general attendance at the county
convention on Thursday nothing more
than brief notice in The ARGUS, and
that only in one WEEKLY paper, the attend
ance quite surprised everybody, there be-
ing hundred or more present. And
what was apparent to everybody and sub
iect of frequent remark, was the kind of mer
present-old, reliable representative Dem
ocrats and Liberals men of character, in
telligence and influence, from all parts o.
the county. Among the number was Lu.
cius Wells, Esq. of Hampton, elected sher-
iff of this county as long ago as 1889. Mr.
Wells has been suffering for few years
past with partial paralysis, but the McCor
mick call aroused him, and it was grea
qualification to his many friends to see
him and know that he was able to ride out.
Then there was James Taylor, of Edging-
ton, one of the Oldest settlers of the coun-
ty and one of the most extensive and
wealthy farmers; Lewis Wilson and An.
drew Donaldson, Of Rural, also large far,
mers and old residents s. f. Hartman, Of
Coal Valley, also an old resident and great
farmer; r. NJ Grenell president of the
Board Of Supervisors, farmer from Cor
dova, and DIR. Hoke, of the same place !;
Robert Ross, ofAndalusia Thomas Kerr,
of Black Hawk Samuel Heagy, j. w.
Winans and others OF Hampton; Jacob
Norris, B. D. Buford, V. NJ. Blanding, j.
R. Johnston,F. Lucas, and others, OF Rock
Island. And our German-American fellow
citizens in numbers. REPRESENTED by their
strongest and ablest men, such as George
Wagner, Henry Woltman, DR.. Tegeler,
Aug. Hessiug, Geo. L, Quist and many
others. The convention was noted for the
strong, representative character of those
present.

From The Geneseo Republic, 21st.
Mr., Hawley's Position.

A inisapprehension exists in some part
OF the district relative TO the position &C
cupied by Mr.. Hawley on the COMPRESSION
al question, which, in justice to that gen
tleman, deserves a word of correction, and
as the Republic has, unwittngly, bad some
thing to do in fostering the error it EN-
braces the earliest opportunity to set Mr.
Hawley aud itself right Had MIR. Haw
ley been beaten in his own county in iail
and honorable fight it is doubtless true that
he would have needed the verdict and
withdrawn from the field. 1t is patent tc
every one who knows anything of the ease
that it was only by practicing the most
barefaced frauds that he was defeated in
Rock Island. The primaries were con.
Quoted in disgraceful manner, generally
speaking, and it was there that his bitter
personal enemies won their victory oven
him. To Withdraw from the canvass un-
der these circumstances would be cowardly
in him and unjust to his troops of warm
friends in the district This we believe to
be the view taken Of it by Mr.. Hawey
therefore, though he declines to make an
active canvass, he, if the convention sees
hit to confer the honor of nomination on
him. will accept of the same, and take the
stump in behalf of the Republican cause
and party this fall Mr.. Hawley leaves
the business entirely in the hands of the
convention, it to take such action as it
pleases without suggestion Ut solicitation
FROM him and he will abide by its deci.
sion whether il be for or against him This
is honorable, fair, and just what might be
expected from Mr tiawley.

Speaking Of Gen. Henderson and bis
possible nomination by the R.publicansfo for

His unnecessary bitterness during the
late Presidential campaign, and his utter
subserviency to party alienated many of
his warm personal and political friends,
which will weigh somewhat against him
should he be nominated but with all that,
unless the opposition should be more hap

a fair majority, though the farmers party.
II governed by wise counsels, undoubtedly
are masters OF the situation. Should the
Independent Reform party put man in
the field wholly acceptable to the people, a
thoroughly good man, and prosecute the
campaign with harmony and vigor, there
is little doubt that they can elect their
man. But will they present such q candi-
date z And viii they act as though they
were in earnest in the work of reform? ?"
1t remains to be seen whether they will
or not. The Opposition to the Republi-
cans have it in their power to carry this

bring out a candidate will be held at Prince.

The editor Of the Rock Island Union re

The editor OF the ROCK Island Cna0n re-
publishes, from the New York Shipping
List, an absurd and wholly false statement
about the decline Of the order Of T. OF H.;
the dissolution of Hope Grange, etc., etc.
The editor of the Union ought to know
that Grand Master Colder Of the State
Grange, has published letter stating that
Good Hope Grange is not dissolved, but
on the contrary is alive and well, and more
prosperous and numerous THAI erer. -Four
teen Republicans undertook to dissolve it
in order to make political point,-but ut
terly failed in their schemes.
The article also says: "All appears to
have gone well until the State Central
organization concluded to go into politics
and nominate State ticket" Asthe peo
ole who write such stuff are ignorant or
dishonest, we will say that the State Cen
trail organization ofthe ?. of H. never con-
Guided to go into politics. No question OF
politics or religion can be discussed or act
ed on in any Subordinate Grange, or in the
State Grange. Inside the Grange room
these subjects cannot come. Outside the
Grange room the members are free to act
just exactly as they please upon such sub
jects. There is not and never was any
Grange Ticket in the field. People who
assert anything to the contrary are either
ignorant or dishonest.
The organization ofPatrons Of Husband
ry commonly called Grangers) is secret
and non political organization, for social
and business purposes. 1t is as perman'
ent as the organization of Odd Fellows,
and will last as long. Inside the Oranges
the members gain information as to their
social and business interests. Outside the
Oranges the members attend what church
they please. or no church, and vote as
they please, or refrain from voting if they
please, The order is not political one,

impression are either ignorant or dishon
