should be Of the best material that can possibly
be commanded

Is conceded that Maj George W. Steele will be

Impression that Major Steele will be renomi-
mated by reclamation by the convention, which
meets at Peru, Sept z. The Democratic conven-.
ton meet at Portland, Aug. 25 Major Kidd, Of
Wabash, will probably be the candidate. al
though there is talk of Hon. Hugh Dougherty,
