erman was broken open by burglars last
night. They effected an entrance to the
office through the side door. The lock Of
the safe was cat of order aud it was ouly
locked with Il paddock which was easily
picked. The iron cash box in cue corner
OF the safe was taken ont and carried off.
This contained only some private cores

The Same old Trick.

The Independents have called state
convention to be held at Springfield on the
9th of March. The object appears to be
the old trick-to tOrstall democratic action
to dictate to the state democratic con-
vention, which meets on the 18th of April,
who its candidates shall be. The last effort
of the Independents in this direction,
aided by the mistaken Interpretation of
Don Morrison's speech before the conyen-
ton resulted in the nomination of Lew
Steward and the defeat of the democratic
party. A few old tricksters like Kewanee
Smith professed to have As, 900 Indepen
dent votes in their pocket but when ii
came to the election they did not pan out.
We hope the next democratic convention
will mind its own business and put ur
able representative men. We believe the
vote OF Illinois lie democratic to-day, aud
can elect democratic candidates.

exert a deleterious influence, and the
