For Representative.

We have heard the name OF y. X. BllSh, |
Esq, talented and promising young law
yer, of Kewanee, mentioned as a suitable
candidate for the assembly at the APP
preaching election. We have known
Jim" we'll on to 20 years, and have no
hesitation in seconding the motion. He is
possessed of fine abilities, is one of the
hest lawyers in the state of his age, a GEN
tleman in every sense of the word, and we
believe there is in him the talent, the appli-
cation, and perseverance necessary to make
a faithful and popular statesman. We
say by all means. put him in nomination,
elect him, and give him an opportunity to
show the stuff he is made of. Think of
this,ye delegates, when you come to make
up your jewels. ''-Canabrldge Chief.
Mr.. Blish is an able and popular young
man, and we'll liked in this region by all
who know him.
Joseph A. Sawyer, of Geneseo, is also
good deal talked of. Mr.. Sawyer was once
a resident of our county, and is very well
known here. He was one of the early set
tiers in this region, and was once the
Democratic candidate for the legislature,
running long ways ahead of his ticket.
R. FL. Human. of Osco,is also talked Of
He was on the ticket two years ago. He
is an active, energetic, good man.
j. NJ. Brown, of Atk inson, is also spoken
of for the place.
If the candidate is to be selected from
Henry it would be we'll for the Henry dele
gates to be united on some one, and not ask
our county to decide the matter for them.
The delegates from this county are as
follows:
w. d. Webster-Cordova.
Mark Hauberg-Coe.
VIM. Beardslee-Moline.
James McBurne-Moline.
| Z. I. McElherne-Rock Island
James r. Johnston-Rock Island.
John L. kenworthy-Rock Island
Thos. kerr-Black Hawk.
John Dicksou-Black Hawk,
Shipman Siivis-Hampton.
Andrew Donaldson-Rural.
John u. Observation-Disclosures
| L. j. Whitney-Buffalo Prairie.
And the proceedings of the conv entior
which chose these delegates reads as fol
lows:
ION motion of J. T. Kenworthy thu
delegates to the senatorial convention were
instructed to present the name of Hon. Il
NJ. Grenell, Of Cordova, as the choice o
this convention for candidate for state leg
, islature.
. This would probably be regarded as al
instruction to our delegates to vote for Mr.
r Grenell and as we have Is delegates ant
] Henry it would be equivalent to nom
ination.
The Henry county people think tina
turn about is fair play" and inasmuch a
5 Henry had the member first, under tn
2 new system, aud Rock Island next, it
: now Henry's turn.
0 AS we look upon the matter neithe
q county has any claim oyer the other, an
d we hope that a man who is not only stron
. before the people of both counties, bu
e who would be strong man in the ieeisls
: ture, will be chosen. When We have tn
= power to send man. he should be a ma
