HALEY

Our next congressman, =. G.. Haley, had
quite an ovation on his return to Joliet
after his nomination at Ottawa. He was
met at the depot by large crowd, headed
by Boyne's Band, and escorted to the
Shurts Hotel, from the balcony of which
congratulatory speeches and responses were
made. The Signat says:
The honored candidate was loudly called
for and responded in his usual brilliant
way, heartily thanking the people and ur-
gently calling upon them to work for the
good cause.
Hon VIM. Mooney, of Braidwood, made
some very fine eulogistic remarks In sup
port of the nominee, (and to the point they
were too the substance of which will ring
the death knel of the rich monopolist from
Streator
f. Meers Esq, Hon. j n Fryer and the
redoubtable J, r. Flanders added zest to
the ratification meeting in timely remarks,
and all agreed that the Plumb would be
leveled next November.
OF Mr., Haley the same paper says:
He has resided in this county ever since
his childhood, and for the past fifteen years
he has been "A resident of Joliet, actively
participating in the public AS we'll as the
political affairs of the county and city. His
private character is without II blemish,
while his honesty, frankness and candor in
all his dealings with others have marked
his course and won him the respect and
esteem of all AS an able lawyer and an
orator of great power and eloquenCe he has

Oglesby's speech at Mendoza is said to
have been quite decent and respectable
1t was-as all his speeches are-confused
and rambling, but there was no profanity
in it, and. it was free from obscenity and
vulgar stories. In this respect it was Ger.
tainly great contrast to his speech at
Rockford, where his audience was so dis
gusted that they frequently Kissed him.
His eyes are said to have overlooked with
maudlin tears as he exclaimed, in one part
of his speech: "How | would feel-oh my
God, how ! would feel-if | should get
lefty The most charitable construction
put upon his bearing at Rockford is that he
was drunk. AT the close of his speech he
was taken in tow by John A Logan, who
gave him a good, round cursing, which
sobered him up.
