arguments andinnuendoes of the representatives
of the syndicate firms against the adoption of
the Bancroft Readers may be summed up as
follows:
l. The money paid for their preparation was
paid to educational men OF California, and has
been invested where it is paying taxes in this
State, and not in Ohio ana New York.
;. The money paid for the composition of
these readers has supported two California
families for nearly two Years.
8. Thirty Young women, residents of Califor-
MIA, are employed constantly in their manu-
facture They should be turned upon the
street.
l. The money paid for plates has gone to
foundrieS in California instead of Eastern foun-
dries, and supported California workmen in
stead of Eastern WOTkmen.
>. The profits accruing, if any, viii be cX-
pended in building up California industries, and

Poets.

Peoria has couple of gushing poets
within the confines of her corporal limits.
Their cognomens are John Downs and
Martin Kaufman. They are daisies from
the word go. When the reporters gel
short of news, they fly to the haunts OF
these rhymsters, and come back with sew,
eral stanzas OF blood curdling poetry,
which they fire at their readers without a
word of warning This is one of the
drawbacks to life in Peoria We knew
the citizens were compelled to breathe dis
titled air waited from the bung holes of
dozen whisky mills, drink the deadly
water of the muddy Illinois, and spend
half their time in the police court, but
never did we dream that one poet, much
less two, was allowed to ply his nefarious
calling in the already suffering commu~
nifty. Surely Peoria is burdened with
more than her share of unadulterated
woe.

these wonderful dogs. and many Older
persons, as well, have waited for the
show with much interest. The high an
ticipations were fully realized, for the
performance was simply wonderful The
sagacity and intelligence displayed by the
several dogs was very remarkable and
some of their acts indicated long and pa
tient labor on the part of the trainer
The appearance of MIR. and Mrs. Schnei-
der and their baby Bulge was the sig
nal for boisterous applause, and their
graceful Waiting was greatly admired.
Major, the clown dog, keeps up an un-
limited amount of fun with his clever an
tics, aud the dog that walked the tight
rope was the wonder of the evening

more than pleased with the entertain

The Republican Convention.

Elk Senator Ford, of Galva, was ready
for a fight in the republican district cons
vention yesterday, and then again he was
not 1t was sort of betwixt and be-
tween case with him. He was for bounc-
ing Cleveland as his frequent and sarcas>
tic remarks about the rights of constitu
ents showed. He had a few followers
but not enough to risk revolt with.
John P. Hand, of Cambridge, counseled
moderation. He had evidently been won
over to the Clevelandites and he welded
a strong influence Ford's opening
speech pretty definitely outlined the feel
ings of the Henry county delegation. He
said in substance, that there was no use
to attempt to conceal the fact that the
Henry comfy delegation was not in har-
mony with the Rock Island delegation so
far as the denomination of Henry C.
Cleveland was concerned. He warmed
up to his subject and doubtless would
have caused a tumult but for E. c.
Graves, of Geneseo, who choked him off
with the remark that he was outside
the question then before the house
Mr.. Ford snapped out that he would
probably get there if allowed to proceed,
and then sat down In disgust. 1t was
evident that the Henry county delegation
had become divided within itself. The
unite rule it had decided to exercise at its
county convention had in some way been
broken. Probably at the Harper house
caucus. 1t is understood that Mr.. Movers
said yesterday that if Cleveland would
withdraw from the convention as a can
didate he would also, and the convention
could the nominate two new men. He
wanted to do this for the sake of harmo-
ny, but his friends wouldn't listen to such
a proposition, neither would the friends
of Cleveland consent to withdraw his
name.
After the nominations has been made,
both dtshe candidates addressed the con-
vention in the usual manner, pledging
themselves to do their utmost in behalf of
the republican ticket throughout.
