Convention Notes.

Marysville did herself proud. All
the citizens, Democrats and Republi-
cans, We'd in making'everything agree
able. The churches served dinners to
hundreds, and private houses were
opened to dodgers.
The town was crowded Tuesday, but
on account of nip III the weather
many did not show up Wednesday.
W. w. Roach was made happy by
finding seven foot bed at the Cottage
Hotel.
Sugar camps were closed in the east
ern part of Logan county, and the
population drove across lots to Marys-
vile. Logan county had the largest
representation.
The nominating speeches were good.
Carpenter pleaded to keep Lybrand in
Office on the ground if kept there long
enough he might learn something and
resentative Cole, of Hancock county, a
combined, presented the name of Ross
in a speech that is still ringing around
the scenery and frescoing of the opera
house. Willets, of Hardin county,
made an eloquent plea for Fess, and
Jesse L. Cameron made one of the
most forcible pleas for Union county's
Fullington. Hon. Perry Middleton
presented Judge Warnock's claims in a
clean and forcible manner, and did
himself credit.
Burleigh Mclaughlin and Loe Haines,
formerly Bellefontaine boys, are the
prOprietors of drug store on the
square, and were kept busy shaking
hands with Logan county friends.
There was very little evidence among
the delegates and alternates of any
thing stronger than Marysville's ex-
cellent water being drank. The order
! and decorum of both delegates and
| spectators were good.
The Convention was most harmOni-
Gus body, Notwithstanding the deter
mined character of the contest.
A man more fitted for the position
by native ability, legal learning, ora.
torical power, high personal character
and splendid service of his country IN
the field, than Judge Warnock, could
not have been found in the Convention
and before his canvass closes, he will
stand in the estimation of the people
| like Saul, ''from his head and shoulders
upward" above the average Congress
man. Logan county is proud of hel
part in the achievement of his nOmina
tiOn.
Lybrand was the only candidate be
fore the Convention, whose friends lef
no flowers on his grave. No sense O
gratitude or honor could induce him t.
help any of them, and they spoke of i
with bitterness.
FullingtOn, Cameron, WOOdburn
Robinson, and others, in Union, whit
worked so hard to redeem their count.
from the rule of the Ayers gang, de
serve great praise for their part in the
contest.
The Marysville Glee Club went righ
to the spot, and every one of them cOult
have got the nomination if he had ask,
ed for it.
Mr.. Fess expressed his hearty thank
to his friends in the Logan county del
egation, and Col. Warnock also thank
ed them sincerely for their steadfas
friendship to him.
Mr.. Ross of Hancock made man.

Judge Warnock received an enthusi

Logan gave Fess eight votes. The an
nouncement was received with wild
cheers from Hardin county delegates
and many others in the convention. In
a ballot or two more, Fess was given !
another vote from Logan, and others !
were added, till he received IL votes |
from Logan, running his total vote up
to 81. Two votes from Logan were
given to Ross of Hancock, raising a
mighty cheer from that corner of the
! house. One vote of Logan was cast
for several ballots for Fullington of
| Union, and the Marysville people gave
this wild greeting. Finally Logan
settled back to Warnock, there being
no response to the bouquets they had
thrown to other counties, and the bal
lots went on. Finally Logan county
withdrew for conference. They were
tired of the monotony, and wanted to
make break. The friends of War
mock wanted the delegation to stand
by him for five more ballots. and if he
were not nominated in that time,
they agreed to cast 20 votes for Fess,
!. for five ballots, and afterwards for Full
, lingtOn. This was readily ageed to,
. and the delegation returned to the
: Convention. On the fifth ballot after
: their returning, the break came. Un.
q ion county cast Is ballots for Warnock
, and Is for Fess. On the next ballot
: the 401st Delaware after consulta
tion, cast 36 votes for Warnock; Logar
: gave him 80, and Champaign 80, thus
giving him within votes of nomina
: tion. Then Union gallantly swung intt
!. line with 80 votes for Warnock, ant
8 the nomination was made amidst thi
) greatest excitement.

A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR.

Chas. Batchelder OF Platteville and
VIM. Jones of Ellenboro are in the
county Jail awaiting preliminary ex-
animation on the charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon. Their ex-
animation comes this (Thursday)
morning and the case gives promise
OF sensational developments. The
young men were placed under arrest
Friday by Under Sheriff McGonigal
and Marshal Budworth at Dubuque
and the assault with which they are
charged was committed upon Peter
Hanson, Dubuque merchant. The
ahalr occurred near the steamboat
landing at Potosi and it IS reported
that Mrs. Batchelder. wife of one of
the defendants and sister of Jones, his
companion, will figure quite conspicu-
ously IN the case. Hanson was shot
at three times by Batchelder with
pistol and that he escaped serious in
jury II not death is nothing short of a
miracle. There are many versions of
the affair in circulation, but none are
corroborated by officers or principals
in the case. They are preserving
strict silence, and not until the pro-
ceedings are aired in court will they
become known. Rumors indicate a
Matchmaking scheme of which Hanson
was to be the victim, but the accused
deny this and base their grounds for
assault upon the woman's infidelity
and the unlawful part in the transac-
tion by the merchant.

he had told the clerk to take off his
coat and hang it on bush and then
sneak around the tree and shoot the
squirrel on the other side, while he
is watching the coat, bnt he thinks
maybe the Clerk is not a squirrel
hunter, and he gives up the idea of
helping him. And then the old bust
ness man looks at his watch and finds
that it is time to 60 home, and he
gets up with a pain in his back and
wonders if his time will ever come
again to take vacation.

Years. and Sees her Companion Sen

Mr.. and Mrs. Constantine Miesch re-
sided happily in a comfortable home
at Calumet, Mich, until two wears
ago. Their domestic relations were
pleasant and with one child. dauph-
ter now in her teens. eniuved each
others companionship. But a cloud
appeared on the marital horizon in
the person of one John Sanders and to
this young man did Mrs. Miesch be-
come considerably attached. Little
was thought by innocent Constantine
of their tete-a-tetes and ram blings to-
gether. but one evening in early sum-
mer when the husband returned home
after two weeks absence in the pin
erles, he found the home he had
erected and furnished for his loved
one under lock and key and totally
deserted. He searched in vain for her
but to no purpose, for she had disap-
peared as completely as if swallowed
up in earth. Authorities were unable
to accomplish anything in his behalf
and after diligent search of over a
year in America the disappointed hus-
band went to Germany to continue his
task. Here he was rewarded. Sand
ers and Mrs. Miesch went from Calu-
met Sto Lacrosse. Here they re-
sided as man and wife for
little over year. after which
they journeyed to Dubuque, where
Sanders found employment Mrs
Miesch isa native of Germany and
has relatives still living in the father

time after its arrival came her hus-
