The republicans, feeling that the public
had two quickly discerned the Specification
of the title "Citizens' Ticket" issued by
them at the last election, met in the office OF
Mr.. f. c. Swift on Saturday evening, and
called a city convention, caucuses in the diff

them in city convention to be held on Wed
nesday evening. A caucus was held in each
ward on Tuesday evening, the first and
second wards electing fourteen delegates
each, the sixth and seventh wards ten each,
the third and fifth nine each, and the fourth
eight.

the party has but six majority In the popu-
lar branch of the present congress, and all
that In the face Of the fact that the ques.
ZION was rashIy forced upon the people on
the eve OF Il presidential election.
Yet, after ALL the question rests with the
western farmer. To return to the eloquent
language of our Chicago contemporary
Twill he be a man or peasant? Does he
worship the son of his father, like any
clout in Italy or Russia? win the farmer
of Illinois presently walk TO the ballot box
and vote intelllgently? If he should do II
but once the dishonest, avaricious, aristo'
cratic war tariff, with its binder Irvine and
countless other robber syndicates and
trusts, would disappear like the airy fabric
of vision, leaving not a wrack of wrong
behind"

BEARING FRUIT.

We heartily concur with our esteemed
contemporary of the Ottawa Republican, in
the recommendation that
1.-THE farmers of La Sale county should
follow up the good work of last Thursday
meeting with active efforts to carry out the
letter and spirit of the resolutions adopted
They have this to encourage them, that
while one of their resolutions was excep-
tional in the bold strike it made at the sa'
cred principle of protection" beyond the
courage of any other farmers meeting we
have yet noticed,) it has already born fruit
Substantially the same resolutions, two
days later, was offered in the lower
house of the Illinois legislature, and
though it provoked immediate and stern
partizan opposition as embodying daring
assault on the foundation principle and
corner stone of the great republican party,
yet at least two members Of that party,
representatives Telford OF jefferson, and
Kollor of Macon, had the maDliness to
throw off the party yoke and cast one hon
est vote against subsidized monopoly and
greed.
1t was very modest little entering
wedge, indeed, but in all this hullabaloo
about the rapacity of the binder twine
trust we have seen nothing more promising
or hopeful 1t really looks as If eyes hith-
erto stone blind were opening, What ails
the western farmer, anyhow? In the very
pertinent language of the Chicago Herald,
"why does he observe the denudation of
his soil and the desertion of his sons with
out striving to know the cause? With the
canker of protection gnawing at his vitals,
why does he not address himself to the
disease? Why should he uphold a reign
of false economy that reduces the value of
farms and products and deprives the agri'
culturist of ali the advantages accruing
from the benefits of twenty-five years of
constant labor and wonderful invention :?
The tariff reformer laid the truth before
our farmers last fall. But the republican
orator, familiar with the premises, dwelt
on that last fond look the farmers eldest
son gave the old place as he marched away
to Shileh. The farmers eye was on the
dead past"
The last presidential election was carried
by keeping up an incessant howl against
the "solid SOUTH" Is that swindling game
forever to win with the voters of the north
The dominant theme of the party In power
continues to be "rebel brigadiers'' and
southern election methods" But how
much longer will these serve to fire the
northern heart In the interest of tariff rob-
berry and greed?
Bear In mind, the protection policy did
not get majority of votes last November;

REWARD or MERIT.

While In the violent scramble for pelf
that Is now going on In consequence of a
change of the national administration the
fall of many worthy official heads excites
occasional feelings of regret and pain,
there are In the outcome now and then
some not wanting grains of consolation.
Thus, for example, II gives us peculiar
pleasure to notice that among those who,
in the official lottery, have drawn hand

M. Prentiss, to whom has been awarded
the comfortable position of special agent
of the general land office at Denver, Colo

known and highly esteemed citizen of
Illinois, but a soldier whose ability and
patriotism are recognized all over the

The officers of the electric street railroad
are very much opposed to the election of
Mr.. Sherwood, etc.-TfmeS.
Why? Because some time he opposed the
road. All right--a great many other
men did the same. Yet the road has its
franchise, and the work of building it will
60 on whether Sherwood or some other man
is elected. If the road lives up to its end of
the bargain, as the FREE TRADER has not
the slightest doubt it will in every respect,
it has nothing to fear now from Sherwood or
any other man who did in the past or does
now oppose it. 1t isn't necessary to be
demsgogical in this contest

The call for the ayes and noes was made
twice. but the chair was unable to decide.
A call of wards settled to matter. and the
convention adjourned until last evening""
A democrat in the house basely limited
that the republicans were scared and feared
to nominate until after the democrats had
placed their ticket in the field. A republi-
to whom the remark was addressed, said
that if the democrats were in the same boat
as the republicans, they would do the same
thing; and both smiled.

CHATTER II.

Last evening the convention was again
called to order by Mr.. Swift.
Mr., Henry Mayo arose and said that he
had been opposed at first to the drawing of
party lines, but since the Democratic party
had thrown down the gauntlet they (the
Republicans) had taken it up lie nomina.
ted Thomas d. Catlin for mayor. Mr.. Da,
yid Cook moved that the nomination be made
unanimous. 1t was carried with cheers.
Mr.. f. G, Allen named Fred Hathaway
for city clerk. He said that Fred was we'll
known. Everyone had heard of Fred Hath
eway, and that when it came to barring
breasts to the storm, matter spoken of
Thursday evening, Fred could bare a broad
er breast than any man he ever saw. He
was nominated by acclamation--on his
shape, so to speak.
When it came to city treasurer, Capt.
Blanchard, named AL. f. Schock, who was
nominated by reclamation.
For city attorney W. II. Stead had the
nerve to name "Jedge" Calvin, but Maye
howled and objected that Calvin was too,

at the town election. Mr.. Mayo seconded
Mr.. Cullen's nomination. An Informal bal,

On motion of Mr.. Stead the nomination
was made unanimous.
A city committee was named and a reso
luton deprecating the nomination of school
officers. Adopted.

HIGH SCHOOL ELECTION.

The annual election of Township High
School Trustees takes place to-day, Mr.,
T. E. MacKinley was named by the demo-
cratice convention on Thursday evening
for the office, Mr.. W. J. Graham, the re-
firing member, having declined to stand
for reelection. Mr.. MacKinlay is pecul'
iarly we'll fitted for the place, both by ed
ucation and business habits, and no better
man can be selected. The place is an i'm
portant one, and just such man as Mr.
MacKinlay ought to be elected to fiji II
for the coming three years.

Henry Mayo in secouding Cullen's NOM
ination for city attorney, said, in speaking
of Calvin, who was presented by Stead
" We don't want to nominate for office any
six months republicans. We want true
blues" This is a little tough on Calvin,
not TO mention Fred Hathaway, who has
hardly been in the party long enough to
learn his alphabet.

Calvin has now his reward for leaving
the democratic party. He was repudiated
at the polls for justice of the peace, and he
was last evening unceremoniously kicked
out of the republican convention. His
road seems very rocky.

In the first ward Mr. j. G. Corcoran is a
candidate for the two year term and Geo,
II. Haight and j f. Porter for the one year
term. No nominations were made in this
ward by either party.
As In none of these cases can either
party claim any decided difference in
ability between the two sets of candidates,
every voter will be perfectly justified in
voting his political preference and will
vote as conscientiously as if he should
scratch.
In the second ward special effort to
elect Mr., Clegg will be made because of
his pre'eminent fitness for the place and
especially because of his connection with
and interest in the fire department. The
department needs man like Mr.. Clegg
and needs him badly, and for that reason
every man in that ward ought to make a
special effort to see he is elected.
In the first ward pretty contest will be
seen. Mr. Porter, as republican, has the
inside track, of course, and as a very con-
spicuous figure in the work of improving
and expanding the city, will, for that rea.
son, be particularly hard man to beat;
but the popularity of Mr.. Geo. ii. Haight,
his opponent, in the ward, is sure to make
the contest for the short term particularly
interesting one

Obituary.
EX,MAYoR HENRY A. SHULEa.

Henry A. Shuler ex.msyor of this city,
died at his home in Joliet on Wednesday
morning, aged Sc years. He was the second
son Of one venerable citizen, John A. Shuler.
and was born at Mddletown, Pa, in 1899.
He was for many years prominent grain
merchant, and in the pursuit of his business
became well known to the farmers of this
section of the country, while his lively, gen.
ial temperament and easy manner won to him
many warm friends. In 1868, when he was
in the height of business success and per-
sonal popularity he was elected mayor by
handsome maj ority, and filled the office dur
ing his term with credit to himself and the
city.
He leaves two daughters. Mrs. Works, of
Joliet, and Mrs. Theron Bushnell, of Min.
nesota. The remains were brought to this
city and inferred from the residence of his
brother, John N, Shuler, iu Ottawa avenue
cemetery yesterday afternoon.
MRS. WILLIAM H. FELLOWS.
Mrs William II. Fellows died at her resi-
dence on the north side on Sunday after
noon, of neuralgia of the heart aged about
thirty eight years. She was taken i'll about
five weeks ago with neuralgia of the stomach
which found its way to the heart on Sunday.
She was devout Christian and a very es

cerely regretted by those by whom she was
best known. The funeral took place from
her late residence at 2 o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon and was largely attended, Rev.
Fredericks making an especially feeling
funeral address.
HENRY BECKER.
Ex-Offcer Henry Beck Ter died at his home
on the west side at eight clock on Tuesday
evening, of consumption, aged forty.seven
years. He was born in Germany and came
to this country at an early age. During a
portion of his residence here, he was en-
gagged in the -four and feed business, and
later served ON the police force for number
of years. At the time of his death he was
agent for the Philip Best Brewing Co., of
Milwaukee. He was President Of the st.
Francis Div. W. C. u, and a member of the
German Benevolent Society. He leaves a

afternoon, at 2 o'clock. 1
MRS. ANNA IRON.
Mrs. Anna lrion, proprietress of the
Prairie Grocery. died on Wednesday morning
aged sixty-nine years.
She and her husband had conducted the
Prairie Grocery for many years. During the
palmy days Of the canal, when the steam
tug was as yet novelty, the grocery was a
profitable concern, run, as it was, as gen.
eral store, bakery ana saloon, for the accom-
odation of boatmen. But the advent of the
steam tug and the FIVE hundred dollar license
proved disasterous. Mr.. Iron died some
years ago. Mrs. Irion was buried at ten
o'clock yesterday morning The funeral
was large one.
John o Hslloran, for over 40 years a cit
izen of La Sale and prominent grocer Of
that city, died on Monday last at the age Of
SO years. He was a man of sterling integrii
ty; ard his death is loss to that city of
one of its very best citizens.
Mr.. Horace Day, father of Rev. Warren
F. Day, died at Newark on Monday, aged
ninety years.

The FREE TRADER has never advocated
party nominations to fill the purely local
offices of the city, town or school govern
ment. although the city and town have
been In years past governed largely by
republicans, though during all these years
the city has been strongly democratic. II
has advocated the election of those men
whom 1t has deemed the best fitted for
local purposes, when "best" man has ap.
peared, irrespective of party. That has
been the general policy In the city for
years; yet 1t is an open question whether
the city has been benefited by that policy
It certainly has not prevented the forma-
ton of rings nCr has II resulted In the
election of men who have remembered
during their term of office, that they were
elected to serve the city and not them>
selves or the party they happened to be-
long to, The system of party nominations
has this Advantage that il makes the party
for the men elected to office,
which is, perhaps, not undesirable, even in
a city the size of Ottawa.

course he was paid for II; but he took the
risks (Which no other man would In order
TO assist In improving the town. These
things mean something. They mean that
a man who has as keen business
scent as Mr.. Sherwood would not
make less than good mayor, which
is essentially an office requiring q good
sound business head.
But Mr.. Sherwood Is set In his ways"
Well, what of IT. A man who has back
bone enough to know his own mind and to
stick TO II is not an unnecessary fixture la
Ottawa government just now. His cleo
ton might disturb some little rings now in
good working order; but no one would feel
under any necessity Of doing business with
Sherwood just because he happened to be
mayor.
There Is no necessity of claiming the

however, that the people Of Ottawa want a
new deal In city affairs; and it is also con-
vinced that +. A. Sherwood will give that
new deal, and that il will be fair one.
