HOW HENRY DOES IT,
Republican County Convention
Gives No instructions to
Delegates.
BUT THEY ARE SAID ToBE LINED UP

Prince Claiming Control of Congressional
Delegation, and n. o. Williamson Re-
ceiving Indorssment for State Treasurer
Reeves Reported In Favor, But Hanecy
VIII Get the Votes. It L. Believed.
The Chicago Tribune's correspond
emit tells of the Henry county republic
can convention at Cambridge yester-
day as follows: 1.-The repu blican con-
vention for Henry county instructed
the Is delegates to the state conven-
ton to vote for NJ. o. Williamson, of
Galesburg, for the nomination for
state treasurer. but gave no other in
structions. The delegations named
are said to be friendly to Reeves.
Resolutions in favor OF the renomina-
ton of Congressman Prince were also
passed"
While it is believed the correspond
emit puts the action of the convention
with reference to the county's con-
gressional preferences a little strong,
it is nevertheless believed to be a fact
that Prince controls a majority of the
delegates to the congressional conven-
ton. 1t is said he has % of the 81
delegates. But the fight goes merrily

keeping close upon the heels of the
Galesburgian.
The dispatch, as will be seen, also
states the state delegation is thought
to be for Reeves for governor. 1t may
look that way now, but it is safe to
gamble that when the votes are count
ed at the state convention Henry will
be found in the Hanecy column. 1t
will be remember that a similar
trick was turned at the Rock Island
county republican convention. Doubt
less Reeves is the favorite of the rank
and file of the party here, but the ma
chine saw to it that delegates favor
able to the Tanner-Hanecy combina-
ton were selected.

The Prince push evidently cut a
wide swath at Morrison the day of the
Whiteside county republican conven-
ton. Here is what the Sterling Stand
ard says: Congressman Prince.
Kempton Freer and Postmaster Thorn
as, of Rock Island, arrived in Morri-
son this morning and were at once
taken to the Whiteside hotel, sur
rounded by large crowd. Congress
man Prince is by far the most popular
man in the city. At the hotel Con-
gresham Prince was given an infor-
NAL reception. He stated that he ap-
preciated the kindness of the people
of Sterling and is well pleased with
the way things are going. MIR. Prince
was the center of a large crowd all
day. He had kind word for all and
seemed in the hest of snirits''
