Judge L. c. Blanchard is candidate
for re re-election. His record on the bench
has been good one-his promptness, im-
partially, good judgment and ability have
made him many friends both among

Judge Mr.. Lewis is a lawyer of Is

man of unimpeachable integrity, sound
Judgment, and good lawyer.
The name of j. X. johnson, Esq, a
prominent lawyer of Oskaloosa, is also
favorably mentioned in connection with
the Office. His unquestioned ability, in

Washington Chronicle.

Great sympathy is felt here for the
President and Mrs. Grant, and for Mr.
and Mrs. Sartoris, in the affliction they
are suffering in the death of the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs Sartoris. The little
one was 10 months old, and was, hear
a bright and handsome boy. Although
Mrs. Sartoris has been received by her
husbands parents as a daughter, in the
great grief which has now come upon her
she must greatly miss the tenderness of
her father and mother. The little son died
upon the second anniversary of her mar
riage. Mrs. Sartoris is very young to
know the anguish of losing child She
is not yet 81 years of age.

Since that time Illinois has elected its
AZ votes, all of which are for Blaine. Mis-
souri, will give him probably 10; Iowa
her %; New Hampshire 10; Minnesota
9; Kansas 10; Nebraska 6; giving him
2s2 votes on first ballot, with several
States and Territories yet to hear from.
There will be 756 votes in the Conven-
ton; necessary to choice 379. If the
above figures are correct, the "man from

cupying the White House, and we hope
the may.

AS fair sample of the feelings of the
reconstructed South, upon which We wasted
so much sympathy and magnanimity, we
publish the following from an address de-
livered in Charloth, n. c., by Rev. S. Tay-
lor Martin, on Confederate decoration
day:
'The South is to-day ruled over by the mis-
erable thrall of Yankeedom; but they cannot
muzzle our chivalry and patriotic devotion to
the lost cause. We fought for our rights, but
in Gods dispensation we are vanQuished but
not cowed. Slavery was a divine institution.
and we must have that institution or the South
will ever be bankrupt. They speak of our
cause as the lost cause" If so, shall it be lost
forever? No! A new generation has sprung
up, and at a not far distant day there will be
"stars and bars" floating proudly over our Sum
ny South. In the next political campaign, we
must, even If in the minority, support South
ern man who will build up our interests and
hurl the Yankee pickpockets from our midst"
