There will be Greenback convention in
purpose of nominating county ofiicers.-Polo
PUo NOHhener. You are mistaken, Mr..
NOrtherner, they will only nominate hungry
cdadid0tes for county officers. The Repub-

officers about three weeks ago.-MesseH9er.
Correct, Mr.. Brown. 1t was lapSus styli.
The case of the People VS.. Healy, who was
charged with incest committed with his
daughter, young girl of twelve years, came
to sudden termination at the examination
on Tuesday last. The daughter testified to
the commission of the offense, but said it
was committed in Antrim county instead of
Van Buren, county as alleged by her grand
father, who was the complaining witness,
consequently the case was not triable in this
county.
Frank Thomas, our hardware clerk, and
Alb. Showerman, our most remarkable slen-
der Chief, started down the Crooked Paw
Paw River" on an exploring expedition the
other day. They were out two days, and on
encountering so much drift wood, sand bars
and other obstacles between this harbor and
Lawrence, they, on reaching that port, placed
their outfit on the Narrow Gauge and came
home, as they say, fully decided to vote for
Burrows. Do yoN see the point? -
At the coming election the following
! special questions are TO be submitted to the
people, viz: The question of general re-
vision of that antiquated document, known
as the constitution of the State of Michigan
the question of raising the salaries of the
Circuit Judges to the sum of $4,000 pei
annum, and the question of empowering the
Legislature to provide for board of county
auditors in any county in the State. we
shall present some reasons in the next issue
why we think the amendment increasing ths
Judges salary ought to be adopted.

Destructive Fire at Lawtoa.

About = o'clock a. IN. Sunday morning last,
the east end of the Odd Fellows hall. near
the entrance was discovered to be on fire.
The flames spread so rapidly that all access
to the interior was cut OF. This involved
the destruction not only of the Odd Fellows
quarters, but also of the Presbyterian chapel,
which has likewise been the village hall.
This building costing about $4,000, was
built by Mr.. David Powell, and soon after
passed into the hands of the Odd Fellows,
who secured the upper part, and Messrs. G.
w. u G. ID. Lawton who charitably devoted
the lower floor to a chapel for the Presby-
terian and Episcopalian societies, and other
religious purposes. From this It became, by
the further liberality of the owners, the chief
hall of the village for lectures and the better
class of public entertainments, including
political meetings. 1t was opened with even
handed impartiality to each party at the bare
cost of lighting and warming it. Thus it
had become a public institution, and deep
regret was manifested on all sides at its de-
struction. The fire spread from this build
ing to the adjoining ones on each side of it,
viz. to the shops of II. G. Watson, the village
undertaken, and also wagon maker and
blacksmith. His loss is considerable, not
only in the two buildings, bat in damage to
his stock; also his dwelling house was nearly
involved in the fire and only saved 10y per-
serving efforts The furniture was removed
and the house nearly stripped of doors and
windows. The total loss and damage done,
probably exceeds $4,000. The Odd Fellows
saved nothing from their hail. and the chapel
organ and other furniture in the bali below
was burned. There was no insurance on
any of the property destroyed, as Watson's
shop prevented it, or rather being placed on
the lot adjoining the hall, raised the rates of
insurance so high as to practically cut off the
Odd Fellows and the hall owners from secur-
ing its benefits, nor could Watson get insur-
ance at practicable rates on his two buildings.
The beautiful shade trees about these build
ings we're also destroyed or nearly SO. The
Odd Fellows are now without a home and
the village without suitable hall. and it will
be long before the loss viii be replaced
Others, besides our Lawton friends, will re-
gret the loss of the hail. The room where
for many years enthusiastic and friendly
audiences have gathered, to cordially greet
visiting lecturers and speakers, does not fall
to ashes without awakening the sensibilities
of those who have Known and shared in it,
hospitalities.

young and what his ability is for holding
the purse-strings of the county we are un-
able to say; and it will probably never be
known because his opponent CThomas J.
Buford) is 80 universally popular aud a good
business man that Mr.. Avery's chances for
promotion are certainly slim.
Mr.. Davis, the old commissioner, and Mr..
Vanderpool. of Soap Creek, were made the
nominees for County Commissioners. NJ.
Davis has made fair Commissioner in the
past, so far as we know. His co.nominee,
however, Is almost stranger to this part of
the county at the present time, but long
resident of the north end Of the county.
John Scott was nominated for Assessor,
which is certainly q nomination without
any qualifications whatever for the position.
Edgar Millner was nominated for School
Superintendent. He is one of the Bosses I"
strongest men. It was he who run tn. old
Blade, a. co-e,litor with the "Boss," with
its columns full of the scum and filth of Gre
alton. His knowledge of books is perhaps
sufficient to qualify him thus far for the po-
sition. But according to our notion of such
matters, he does not possess the moral
strength and force to qualify him to build
up an educational system for the young
Without the young being strengthened by
thorough ideas of morality, the other parts
of an education will be of little service to
them.
Alonzo Locke was renominated for Coun-
ty Surveyor. He has served the county in
the same capacity for the last two years,
but George Mercer will likely serve them
for the next two.
Quite number of the delegates, after the
convention was over, were free to acknow-
ledge that the whole thing had been badly
''set up" and their impression seemed to
be that the BOSS" was the leading spirit in
setting it up.
1t is certain that most. if not quite all. of
the nominees on the ticket are McFadden
men, which looks very curious to casual
observer and savors very strongly of the idea
that any other kind of a person could not
possibly have received nomination
1t is certain and sure that the ticket bur-
dened with all the former sins of the BOSS, ="
which the convention placed upon them to
carry, are destined to certain defeat.

Els Democratic Convention and bis FFant
Tool WHO Ceres to mis- Rescue iu the
Last ksc1IGs Of Political Dca. h.

After the last April fools day experience
of the Democratic county convention o
Benton county. On last Saturday tho dele
gates assembled in this place and the con
vention was called to order at about ter
| o'clock i'll the forenoon.
After the reports credentials and order
of business hal been submitted and alopteJ
and motion having been made by Mr..
Parker to the effect that q committee of five
on platform be appointed, business appeared
to come to s,andstin, no one seeming al
the time to have any thing to offer; where
upon Mr. W. S. McFa lden, whom we some
times term Boss" although not delegate
to the convention, rushed forward from the
crowd OF observers and suggested to Secre-
| tary MilIner and assistant manager Joseph
Liggett that motion to adjourn until one
o'clock in the afternoon should be made in
order to give the committee ON platform an
| opportunity to report; whereupon Mr.. Lig-
gett Immediately made the motion as sug-
gestei, which was put ly the chair and car
ried, before any committee on platform had
been appointed.
During the recess "Boss" McFadden met
us on the street and demanded the reason
why We used his name SO prominently in
our issue of last week in reviewing his po-
litical ort;omings. We frankly informed
him that as a citizen and neighbor we had
no fight to make against him; but, accord
ing to oar way of looking at matters, his
political history and political wire working
anu manouvering was tu us contemplate,
and, while running a pnblic jonrnal, We
should give his public and political record
to the public. H immediately replied that
we could take our own course, AMI that b.
would take his; he thereupon asserted that
he thought he could hold his own with US
in response to what we wers inclined to
publish about his political career and, as we
understood him, intlmating that he would
get even on us-his willingness to do so be-
ing verified by the action in the afternoon
trolling interest upon a resolution to whit
wash him; but, not unlike many of his
political jobs, in this instance he seriously
mistook the effect of his remedy.
Soon after one o'clock the convention was
called to order and, before the regular order
of business as adopted had been called up,
the Boss introduced a small '.si>le show"
FOR the amusement of the spectators and to
the injury of his whole party ticket, and

den, as was stated before. not being dele
gate to the convention, in order to intro
duce his ''performance" and get his ''magic
lantern" affair to go off, it became necessary
that he should have help-a spokesman. lie

TIE ATTEMPTED ASSASSIN OF THE IA
QUiNA RAILROAD ENTERPRISE,

Are the farmers and producers of the Sec.
ond Judicial District who, for the last
twenty or thirty years, have been paying
exhorbitant prices to the monopolies. for
transporting their produce to market, going
to cast their votes for w. s. McFadden, the
Democratic nominee for Judge of that Dis
triet, when during last summer in series
of articles which the said w. S. McFadden
wrote and published in the old Benton Coun.
ty Blade in which he assaulted, denounced
and condemned the Yaquina Railroad and
its management; and in those articles he
attempted to the utmost extent of his feeble
ability to break down and sqnelch that rail-
road enterprise, when at the same time Mr..
McFadden knew of the necessities of the
people for competition in this line of traffic
and when be also knew that the Yaquina
