The vacancy in the illinois legislature

The vacancy in the illinois Legislature
caused by the death of representative Lo,
gan was filled by the election, on the goth
inst, of Dwight S. Spafford, OF Whiteside
county, arepublican, by 4,5l4 majority and
he appeared on Tuesday at Springfield and
took the oath of office and his seat In the
house. Gov. Oglesby promptly issued a
writ for the election of a senator in the
place of Frank NJ. Bridges, deceased, the

A. j. O'Connor, Esq, ono of the most in.
huential and able of LaSalle's best citizens
is announced for mayor. Mr.. O'Conor
like Benz. f. Lincoln, of this city, has
not in any manner sought the position
but the office seeks him, and through over
whelming pressure he was obliged to as
sent to the popular will and became can
didate for the mayoralty. A. J. OConor
is one of the few recognized leaders among
the young democracy of this section of the
state and is a man of brains, culture and
indomitable energy. There is no question
as to his election, and under his wise, able
and economical administration of affairs,
at the head of the municipal government,
LaSalle will speedily regain, financially
and socially, that prestige which she has
lost under the laundering of former admi-
nistrations. With Mr.. O'Conor as mayor
a brighter era of prosperity will dawn for
LaSalle, and the great business interests of
that city will be given a vigorous impetus
by having such an able and representative
citizen at the head of its city affairs.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.

There were eight ballots in the joint
convention on the Goth for senator, Morri
sons highest vote being %, the total vote
being 1Ol, the republicans refusing to vote
On the Sth ballot six democrats scattered
reducing Morrisons vote to 05, upon which
the republicans set up a shout that the
democratic column was broken, but nothing
has occtrred since then to confirm this
idea.
On Tuesday Mr.. Spafford, the newly
elected republican member in place of rep
resentative Logan, deceased, appeared and
was sworn in, thus giving, by the death Of
Senator Bridges, the republicans majority
of one on joint ballot The latter were
therefore confident of being able on Wed
nesday to concentrate all their forces on
Logan and elect him, but the highest vote
Logan got on Wednesday was 100, Sittig
voting for him for the first time, but Nc
MILAN refusing to vote and Fowler being
absent On Thursday, Fowler being pres
ent he got 10l votes at two ballots and 100
at two others, Sttig voting alternately for
him and Washburn, Mcmillan still refusing
to vote. AS it requires 1913 votes to make
quorum, of course Logan, even with Nc
Millan's vote, is no nearer an election than
he was a month ago, the democrats having
decided not to cast another vote until the
successor of Senator Bridges is elected.
The business aside from the joint con-
vention, continues unimportant. The bill
in regard to disqualification of Jurors on &C
count of newspaper knowledge of a case
re-appeared under fraudulent guise in the
senate on Wednesday and was promptly
killed by Senator Duncan. A pet bill Of
Senator Whitney to relieve mortgages and
other liens upon real estate from taxation,
also encountered Senator Duncan's oppsi-
ton and was killed.
The House on Tuesday passed bill to
increase the pay of jurors to 81 per day
and their milage to 10 cents, giving jurors
in insane cases 81. The house on Thurs
day also passed a bill requiring county sur
veyors to keep records of their surveys,
and an important bill making radical chan
ges in the present law governing the APP
pointment of receivers.

The Week.

England was thrown into state OF the
utmost excitement on Thursday by the ap
pearance of a proclamation from the Queen
calling out both the regular army and the
militia reserves for permanent service The
call covers $1,000 reserves of the regular ar
my and about 100000 militia The proclama
ton followed Immediately upon cabinet
council convoked upon the receipt OF dis
patches from Lord Granville and Sir Ed
ward Thornton, British minister to Russia
and Lord Dufferin, viceroy of India, and OF
course looks to immediate war with Russia
on account OF encroachments upon the Al
CHAN frontier. Russia is said to be eager
for fight, and peace can only be preserved
by such humiiating surrender as the
English people will not allow the govern
ment to make.

B. F. Lincoln for Mayor!

The FREE TRADER takes no less pleas
ure than pride in being permitted to pre-
sent to the citizens of Ottawa the name OF
b. +. LINCOLN, Esq, as a gentleman In eve
ry sense fitted to be entrusted with the du
ties and responsibilities of the chief exec.
utive Office of the city
Neither directly or indirectly has Mr.
Lincoln sought this or any political prefer
ment, and at no time during his residence
of twenty years in our midst has he been II
candidate for any political distinction. 1t
may be we'll and truthfully said of him that
In the present instance The office seeks him
and not he the office.
During the past week many of MIR. Lin
coins personal friends, men whose stability
and business interests In the community
give weight to their preference, have urged
and reasoned with him to permit his name
to be mentioned as candidate, and yester-
day these requests were renewed and pre-
sented in such persistent and forcible
manner that Mr.. Lincoln felt that to longer
refuse would not be treating his friends
with the courtesy which should be accord
ed to their sincere desire to vote for him
for mayor.
This much, by way of explanation, is due
to MIR. Lincoln; but now that he has con-
sented to please his friends by becoming
candidate he will enter into the spirit of
the campaign with as much vigor and ear
nestness as though his nomination had been
of his own seeking.
At no time in the history of the city have
there been such vital interests at stake as
are sure to demand the attention of the
mayor and city authorities during the com
ing year. In all likelihood the city will be
called upon 70 defend its right and title to
the bequest in its behalf by the will of the
late William Reddick. Weighty and i'm
portant trusts will be delegated to the per
sons chosen to assume the control of mum,
cipal affairs. The interests of the city re-
uuire at their head a man of sound legal
attachments and an honest conception of
the influence the next two years may have
upon the future of Ottawa. The city needs
at least during this time man at the head
of its affairs who clearly understands that he
has great interests committed to him and
calling for the exercise both of wisdom
and fidelity. Mr.. Lincoln is man emf
nently fitted, both by character and attain
ments, for such trust.
The mention of his name as candidate
for the mayoralty has already created re-
enthusiasm and expressions of &C.
neral satisfaction on all sides are heard.
+. c. Allen has undoubtedly made an ex-
cellent mayor, and the FREE TRADER has
no desire to be understood as finding fault
with his administration. He has served tho
city well and faithfully, but new exigencies
have arisen requiring a new order of exec
utive ability, coupled with thorough legal
and to meet such requirements
ii is confidently believed the city has no
man who can take rank in advance OF
BEN. f. LINCOLN.

MiscellaneO

The Chicago city election takes place
week from next Tuesday and the result is
looked forward to with considerable inter
est. The democrats have with great unan-
unity re nominated Carter H. Harrison for
mayor, with VIM. M, Devine for city treasu
rer, and John G.. Newmeister for city clerk.
The ticket is so strong that its election is
confidently anticipated by from eight to
twelve thousand majority. Yet the repub
licans have nominated ticket headed by
Judge Sidney Smith for mayor in oppos.
ton to Harrison, and have opened their
usual campaign of defamation with all their
wonted acrimonious spirit. There is nc
getting around the fact, however, that IIra
rison has been the best mayor Chicago ever
had, has always given them clean and
financially economical and prosperous gov
eminent, and that it would be sheer folly
to hope for any improvement from u
change.
The Texas legislature, by large MAORI,
", has adopted resolution to submit to
popular vote prohibitory amendment

adopted in Kansas and Iowa
II is said to add not little TO the anxiety
of John A. Logan over the senatorial posi-
ton at Springfield, that it is strongly sus-
pected that in case the Legislature fails to
elect senator, II will not be John A. Lo
gan whom Gov. Oglesby will appoint, but
local celebrity known as Hon. David T.
Littler. II has long been known that there
is a decided GOODNESS between Logan and

Gordon's division were encamped upoE
a thrifty farm that was fenced with
pine rails, something unusual in that
section OF country. General Gordon
knew that his men were obliged to
have wood to cook with, so he issued
an order for them to use only the tor
rails, and under pen atty fsevere pun
sishment not to disturb any others
Next morning when the general awoke
not a rail was left to show where this
fence had been, and the captains were
ordered to report at once as to the dis.
obedience of the order. Among others,
Captain Harrison of the Thirty first
handed III his report. 1t stated that
he only allowed one man at q time tc
go for rails, and that each one took a
top rail, acting strictly in accordance
with the general orders. Ofcourse the
last men to 60 found the top rails at
the bottom. General Gordon made q
soldierly bow and announced that the
investigation had ended.
