Essex County Nominations,

We congratulate the republicans of
the county in the selection they have
made Through their delegates at the
county convention) for county officers
for the two years next ensuing. The
interest and feeling of all parts of the
county were fully represented, every
delegate being present save one. The
action of the convention is we'll calcula-
ted to produce harmony and the best of
| feeling throughout the county. To say
that its proceedings meet the minds of
everyone would be to say that men do
not differ in opinion, in preferences or
friendships. In its nomination for sen
ator it selected candidate who needs
no words of ours to commend him to
the favorable consideration of those who
know him. John II. Walbridge is a ca
pable and worthy man; a self made
man. He has taken great pride and in
terest in the cause of education, has ca
pacity through education and legisla-
tive experience, making him well quail
fed to sustain the reputation the county
has heretofore enjoyed. The candidates
for assistant Judges, Messrs. S. b. Pow
ers and Nathan IIobson are known
throughout the county, are thorough
business men, economical and honest,
and are so located as to accommodate all
who may have occasion for such processes
as are occasionally required during va
cation, and men who will look we'll to
the finances of the county. We think
the people are especially pleased with
Judge Chase's denomination as Judge OF
Probate. Appointed by Gov. Page sew.

There was no choice and the conven-

showed no change except that McCul-
Tough gained three votes from Proctor.
On proceeding to the third ballot f. c.
Partridge of Proctor announced that
Fletcher d. Proctor above other things
was true Vermonter and a true Re
publican, and that he considered the
welfare OF the party above his personal
interests, and that he would, therefore.

Complaints as to Fare.

The children also complain of the
slim fare. saying that only the sim
plest and cheapest viands are served.
and without any variety. while the
teachers and other attendants have
delicacies. such as ice cream. pudding
and fruit. Mr.. and Mrs. Geer have
excellent regulations for veracity.
and the people who know them say
that they have no object in making
false statements. Both are hard
working. respectable people, and Mr..
Geer is an old soldier with an hon
orabIe war record. There is Il general
demand here that the charges be in
vestigated.

Much Indignation-Super

Bloomington, ILL.,. Oct. 27.-Much in
dignation is expressed over charges
of cruelty to children in the Soldiers
and Sailors Orphans home here. The
alleged cases of ill-usage are cited by
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Geer. of DAN
Vile. They were here last week and
removed their children, two little
girls, Jessie. aged Z, and Hazel. aged
10.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geer lived i'm Bloom
ington until Il year ago. and then
moved to Danville. the former being
given a position i'm the dining depart
ment TT the home for old soldiers in
that city. The present supcrintend-
ent is Col. Il. s. McCauley, of Richland
county. He was an appointee of Gov.
Tanner, and Gov. Yates has retained
him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geer say that the old
est girl was forced to bend over IA
stool. that her back was barred until
the skin was revealed, and that an
attendant then whipped the child
with Il section of garden hose. two
feet i'm length. The deep, red welts
are still to be seen. and were exhibit
ted to the ncighbors by the parents
as proof of the harsh treatment. The
reason for the punishment was said
to be some slight infraction of the
rules.

The cause of the fire is unknown

This is the mine from which most

One Club In City

The scheme for the adjustment of
the difficulties as mapped out calls
for the withdrawal of the Western
league clubs in both Kansas CITY and
Milwaukee and the turning over of
these two cities to the American as
sociation. At the same time the pro-
moters of the Western league teams
in these two cities are to he taken
care of to the extent that they may
be given an interest in the American
association teams or they may be re-
warded financially outright.
With the withdrawal of the West
ern league clubs from both these cit
les the way would be clear for n har-
monious adjustment of all difficulties
and the American association would
then apply for and receive protection
under the national agreement of the
National association, coming in as Il
class \ organization, on a par with
the Eastern league. The Western
league could take in two smaller cit
les or stand with IL siX-club circuit
and come in as class b or class {
organization under the national
agreement.

The Three-I league was honored at
the meeting of the National Associa-

las. week, by the election of NJ. II.
Sexton, of Rock Island, as chairman
of the new national board. a number
of new regulations for the fourteen
or so minor leagues in the assocla-

In his report Secretary Farrell made

Looking for Peace.
The main object of the members of
the national board in remaining in
New York after the annual meeting
of the association had been adjourned
became apparent yesterday when a
number of conferences were had be-
tween the members of the board and
the principal hackers of the Western
league and the American association.
1T is with the hope of patching up the
difficulties existing between these two
organization that the members stayed
there. 1t was said last night that the
efforts at bringing about settlement
of the war would undoubtedly be sue
cessful.
Presidents Brice, of Columbus, and
Watkins, of indianapolis, of the
American association, were in con
ference with members of the board
at the Hotel Victoria nearly all day.
IN the evening they were joined by
President +. w. Van Brunt, of the st.

Mr.. Van Brunt is the monied man of
this league and has advanced the lar

disastrous to both the Western league
and the American association during
