COLLECTOR,
1t is expected that there will be a warm
contest over the nomination for collector
at the convention tonight. Krell claims
10 delegates, Lambert IA, and Gahegan
II. They are all working like beavers
today, and the delegates will get but little
rest until after the convention is over.
Get it who will, Louis Ohlweiler proposes
to be elected, and the republican nominee
will find himself badly left on election
day Let the gentleman who wants to
get slaughtered have the nomination.
THE CONVENTION.

can state central committee, which com
mittee selected Peoria as the place for

counting noses" and laying plans as to
who should, and who shouldn be selected
as delegates to the state, district and
congressional conventions The call for
the county convention is hardly three
weeks old yet, but the excitement has
reached fever heat. The convention
met at two O'Clock this afternoon for the
selection of delegates. 1t was called to
order by the chairman, who called upon
the secretary to read the call for the meet
ing. The secretary responded and
