A Peoria journal Correspondent Has
Hereab0uts.
Last Fridays Peoria Journal contains
among other Milan correspondence. the
following political gossip:
Politicians have commenced their ak
grinding. The republicans, as usual,
were first in the field and as usual the
office-seekers and heelers. strikers, etc,
captured everything. For state senator.
Crawford captured the prize. For repre-
sentative they put up postman who dill
igently worked for prohibition and sup
ported st. John and the balance of the
ticket is made up of the same stripe. All
the republicans of a representative char
acter say 'it looks very much as though
we have got to take the DOSE" They
are like the Hindoo who approached his
hideous god. l know that he is mighty
ugly, but we feel that the heller and
office~seeker is great.
The congressional convention on the
22d was looked after with the same
results, the delegates calling them
selves patriots. civil service reforms
ers, silver advocates. and in thorough
harmony with Gests administrs-
ton. This has to be swallowed by
the intelligent voters of the Eleventh
congressional district Gest's patriots
returned from the convention at Bush
nell with great glee. Wells, the post
master at Rock Island. locked up his
civil service box and was booming
Gest with the boys in hercu-
lean manner. However, the intelli-
gent voters are beginning to think sob
erly that such hilarious work cannot be
tolerated by such machine In the fol-
lowing manner: Howard Wells is trying
20 run a Sunday school. Gest Is trying to
run silver coin and the white house.
The democrats seem to have united, at
least they have 80 far used great wisdom
in the past deliberations in nominating
representative men of unexcelled business
qualifications in this locality. All the
prominent republicans actually concede
that the democratic ticket as far as
placed in the field, excels anything ever
placed before the people, and their wis
dom should continue at their congress
slonal convention which takes place at
Monmouth August 9Th, to place a candiS
date in the field that is thoroughly identi-
fed with the interests of the district-one
that does not require standing delega-
ton from the district TO take care of the
necessary interests that is required for
the good of the people. 10 conclusion,
if the feeling of the people will prevail at
the convention at Monmouth, the people
of the Eleventh congressional district
will max red>hot fight against Gest, to
make sure of the election of a represents
tive man.

LONDON, July 20 The Marquis de Leu

paper yesterday morning in frenzied
state of excitement, waving aloft big
handful of clippings from American news
papers that he had just obtained from an
agency, and said that he had consulted
his solicitor, and would start in week or
ten days for New York to sue the press OF
the United States for libel. "These news
paper articles" he said, shaking the bun
die of clippings, "are the most libelous
and defamatory have ever read. Listen
to this: The Marquis de Leuville was left
cooling his heels on the steps Of the Bur-
lington hotel while Mrs Leslie packed up
her trunks and escaped him by the side
entrance And this he shrieked, "from
The New Graphic: The Marquis de Leu
Vile still inhabits the skin of an ass"
Here the marquis broke down, being
overcome by his feelings "Some of the
rest are even worse" he said mournfully.
Then he asked for cable blank and pen
and sent the following dispatch to Mrs.
Frank Leslie: "Such hosts of abominable
and injurious falsehoods from America!
Have decided to sail for New York with
solicitor to enter actions. Cannot believe
that you have circulated these reports"
This he signed Rene" and sighed heavily
as he gave the Office boy ~ shillings to
pay for it's transmission TO America. The
marquis said that the solicitor who would
accompany him to America was Charles

De Leuville declined to make any state

engaged to marry him. Il am bound by

silence" Charles Kemble, DE Leuville's
legal adviser was less close mouthed. Il
