Taylor Carmichael will go to

Kansas, this week, where he will spend several months visiting among relations and friends. The iron fence around the court house has received a coat of paint, which improves the appearance of that structure vastly.

Elias Abel was 82 years of age

on Tuesday of last week, and to all appearances is as active as many men of fifty years. The foreign crop of strawberries is about exhausted, and the home grown article is now coming into market. Rev. Thos. J. Clark of Vincennes, Ind., accompanied by his family, is visiting relations in this city. H. H. Friedley has been in

Kansas during the past week, on

business connected with his pro

fession.

The popular manner of walk

ing at present among the g-u-hls is

'a reckless rush,' or a dash off, like cat shot.

Prof. Jordan took train on last

Thursday, for Washington City, to spend some time in the Smithson

ian Institute.

Peter Carmichael has sold one

hundred acres of his farm to 'Bud1

Lowe for $3,000, and contemplates

returning to. Old North Carolina

on a visit.

New locomotives are going to

New Albany to be received, every

two or three days. Looks like the

L. N. A. & C. 'railroad would soon have enough rolling stock.

Wm. Campbell, who recently

sold his farm to NJ5.Mayfield( will

go to Kansas this week, with his family, and may conclude to locate in the windy State.

The suit of Frank Sare vs. the

Continental Fire Ins. Co. was tried

in Lawrence circuit court last week,

East and Friedley for Sare, and a verdict was secured against the in

surance company for $819. Sare is a citizen of this county, near Har-

rodsburg, and his farm house was destroyed by fire one afternoon last fall. A blind fiddler arrived in town last Wednesday and forthwith begun one of his screechy scratchy, doleful tunes, accompanied by a horrible voice which came through his nose and sifted between his set

teeth. Mose Kahn collected forty cents to induce the "minstrel" to go away, and he hurried over to the south side where for a while he pun

ished the people in that locality

they always paid him to quit. Some of those Bedford fellows, it is sus

pected, induced the man to come up

to Bloomington and furnish music for commencement week. Now own up, John Voss.

Jonathan Hinkle, who is 80

years old, is very sick, at his residence north of town.

L. E. McKinney, with his son Morton, leave Bloomington for

Texas this week. Grant McKinney is in Texas now, looking after a sheep ranch that his father bought

while out there last winter. McKinney has chartered two cars and will take with htm 250 head of choice Merino sheep. We desire to direct attention to the announcement of the Bloomington Normal School, in another column. The school is on a sound basis, and has been doing some splendid work during the past four years. Young men and women who desire to fit themselves for the profession of teaching will find no better school in the State than this. Olivette, by the Mendelssohn Society, had a crowded house last night. The Treasurer, Sol. Tan-

on tne zist ballot, lue general

impression here was that Cal. Worill would receive the nomination,

its he had enough strength in the convention, when it first, begun to ballot, to insure him a majority.

But Cal. was a strong man, and

must be got out of the way, thought the district politicians, and forth

A vast amount of stone is needed to do the city's M'cAdamizing, yet the dead beats who are sent to jail lie there till their sentence expires, and then the city roust pay the board bill. Put them, on the stone pile it is not utsessary to hire a man to watch them if they should run away and never come back the community nt large will have reason for congratulation.. Wool at 19 to 23 cents was

not sufficient inducement to all wool

owners, and several of them have

stored their wool to wait an advance. Does not seem probable that prices can go lower. There is great complaint on

other railroads of the fcltate about

the falling oft of freight business. The contrary is true o the L., N. A. & C. railroad. As many as eight and ten freight trains passed this station each day last week, The letter boxes haviog received a fresh coat of paint, are now occupying their old positions on the four corners of the public square.

Sheriff John D. Morgan. Treasurer Marion Hinkle. Auditor Ric hard A. Fullc. Recorder Robert Gilmorc. Coroner Dr. Rice. Survoyoi1 George B. Radar, Commissioner Dr. Walker. It will be seen by reference to the proceedings of the convention, that with the exception of Treasurer, the above ticket was correct. "How. did the Progress know it?" Well how could we know it if the

"piitnp" iiasl tint Avnn it lift inrl man

lost the key tc their secret ? True they changed the program so far as Treasurer wan concerned!, because they were afraid Pauley, having been promised the nomination very positively, would "kick" if Hinkle was put on for that office. The convention was organized at 1 o'clock Saturday, by the election of C.R.Vorrll as Chairman, and H.J.Feltus and P. Dill, Secretaries. R.W.Miers, who seemed to be the

chief business manager in this, as well as in the Bloomington township convention, now got his little machine ready, gave the crank a turn, and out popped McGee, Pulk, Gilmorc, Pauley, Morgan, and all the other names that had beon put

in, though th?y did go through the

formality of balloting for some of

them. The interest of the convention centered in the nomination for Clerk, and it was decided to place that office first on the list. Balloting begun as follows : John McGee 28, J. F. Pittoian 15, Simeon Pedigo 16, Dr. Cnmpbell 8, N. F.Bonsall 3 ; 2d ballot, McGee 32, Pittman 11, Pedigo 20, Campbell 6, Bonsall 1 ; 3d ballot, McGee 34, Pittman 8, Pedigo 22, Campbell 6 ; 4th ballot, McGee 40, Pittman 6, Pedigo 24. Thirty-six being necessary to a choice, McGee was-declared the nominee. For the office of Treasurer there were two candidates ; Joii.B.Paulcy and Marion Hinkle, The vote stood Pauley 47, Hinkle 23. There were three candidates for the office of Sheriff : James Mitchell of Washington township, Geo. Lampkins of Benton, and John D, Morgan of Indian Creek. The

vote stood Morgan 36, Mitchell'

candidates : Geo.B. Rader, Charles

Spencer and Reuben Clark. The ballot resulted : Rader 40, Spencer 15, Clark 15. Commissioners 1st dist: John Hupp 15, Dr. Ware S. Walker 5.

Jas. S. Williams of Stinesvilie,

then introduced the following good

joke; as a resolution :

We. the Democracy of Monroe countv

in convention aisombled, hereby denounce

the leaders of t be Republican party for

the corrupt manner in which thov con

ducted the campiiign of 1880, in this county. The open f urchase of votes, the freo use of whisky, end paudrin to tlio demands of drunkardi, political pimps and dead beats, deserves the severest condomnation of all honest and resectable citizens of the county. There b alrcudy cvldenco that this oiujjrauoful dobituolicry and political prostitution will bo carried on during the coming campaign, and we call on every voter of Monroe enmity who has any regard whulover for the decency and respectability of our institutions, to aid in tlio extermination of this grout evil by electing iho tic.ua UiW.duy iiominuUsit.

resolution was adopted with enthusiasm. After appointing delegates to the various conventions, the meeting heard speeches from a few of the candidates that were nominated. COiiVEKTTON ECHOES. -There is but one soldier on the Democratic ticket nominated on last Saturday : Gilmore. There are five soldiers on (lie Republican ticket. John McGee was called on for some remarks after the nominations were made, and said that he would talk to the people over the county during the canvass about "Bossism

and Kings. lhat is just what a good many of the Democrats want him to do they would like tc have

him explain how the Bloomington "Ring" picked him out as a candi

date for the office of Clerk, after

more deserving and capable men, Bonsall, Pittman, Pedigo and Campbell, had been candidates for

nomination several months.

Jas.B.Pauley, tbe candidate for

Treasurer, resides in Van I.uren township, is a prosperous fairmer, and although a good man, will not make a popular candidate. We thought the Democrats, would be sharp enough to nominate Hinkle, who could have polled at least one hundred more votes than Pauley. John D. Morgan is "a farmer by birth and a school teacher by occupation," and a very nice man, but the Democrats have promised the nomination for Sheriff to Jas. Mitchell of Washington township, at every convention during the past six or eight years, and they should have redeemed that pledge or have given the nomination to George Lampkins, a soldier.

In (electing McGee, of. Brown,

as a candidate for county clerk., the

Democrats ignored the claims of

two good soldiers : N. F. Bonsall

and Jere. F. Pittman indeed they thought so little of Bonsall's claims that they gave him but three votes ; and Pittman, who had every reason to expect a nomination on the first

ballot, received but 15 votes.

Will "Superintendent" McGee

deliver his lecture on "Rings" be

fore the Democracy of Benton township ? There are some peopls up

there who are thirsting for knowledge on this subject. Morgan is a clever fellow, and

when he fully appreciates the joke

that has been played upon him, it

would not be surprising if, at tbe November election,be casts his vote

for Major Grimes.

John McGee, the Democratic

nominee for Clerk, was discovered

in Brown county, about seven years ago, where be succeeded in being elected county superintendent. One term of McGej was enough for the people over in Brown, and fai ling

to secure the office for a second

term he came to Bloomington, where for about a year he sold "pure liquors for medicinal purposes," in the

room now occupied, by Peter Bowman. The firm became financially embarrassed, sold out, and being a

bitter Democrat (one of those who

cannot talk politics without getting angry) he was elected county suer-

intendent, and at the expiration of

his term of two years was again elected, and now holds that office. Dick Folk made one of his characteristic slick speeches after the nominations were concluded., in which he said that if any Democrat had been a candidate for Auditor he would not have been. But you can't convince any Democrat in Monroe county that the triggers were not all set months ago, and that it was of no use for any other Democrat to be a candidate. Any good Democrat (who bus

not lived in the county too long) can get an office worth $4 per day, upou application to the county superintendent. At least we should suppose he could .' If the Democrats were really desirous of electing a Sheriff why didn't they nominate George Lampkins, a gallant soldier, who now draws a pension for a shattered arm the result of a wound received in oue of the battles of the late war? Will John McGee resign his office of county superintendent in

favor of some one of the many cap-.

able Democrats of Monroe comity who have lived here always, or will he continue to draw his four dollars per day while making a cauvass for county clerk V Some of those delegates, last Saturday, thought they were hold

ing a nominating convention. Mis- j stead factory.

take; the convention was held about ten days before, on the south side of the square, and less than a dozen men selected that ticket. The Democratic convention, last Saturday, was harmonious all the delega tes bad to do was to pass upon the tie cision of a half-dozen, men, and they did it. Bob Gilmore will feel hind of lonely carrying the flag in the county candidate's procession. He is the only soldier. It is an awkward squad, Boh. We trust that the Young Mens's Republican Club will extend to John McGee an invitation to lecture before them some evening this summer. Subject: "Bossism and Ring:." This wonld be a good time. to call to mind some of tbe articles printed in John R. East's Blade, during the campaign of 1880, in which he tells all about an individual dubbed by him "the emigrant." East would have had "the stuffin' knocked outeo 'im'1 too, if he had n't. weighed as much as a load of hay. The prsccuted "ring" had the will but they didn't have the "weigh." Duri ag his remarks last Satur -day, Mr. Fulk, the "unanimous"

re-nominee for Auditor said that h e

had looked over hi? school fund

loans and renewals and found that he had made 80 to Democrats, 76 to

Republicans and 7 to Nationals,

Conundrum, by a Dem ocrat

"Why does John McGee consider

himself competent to lecture on

'Bossism and Rings?" Ans. Because he was " rung in " by the

"bosses."

Conundrum 2d. "Why will John

McGee never be Clerk of Monroe

It is hoped that before the city

council takes any formal steps in the

steam fire engine business they will

ascertain the cost at Grcencastle, at

Salem, and at other points, of keeping up this kind of a fire depart

ment. For 9365 a year a compe

tent and reliable man could be employed to give his entire attention

to the engines now owned by the

city, and for all the use Blooming

ton has for a hre department, they

are just as effectivo, when in order, as a clumsily managed steam engine

would be. lh people who pay

the taxes ought to investigate this

matter before nnitl action is bad. They do sav that one of the

Democratic candidates tor Joint Representative has declared that "wAen the Confederate flag toas furl

son, in his candidacy for Representative, lias developed an opposition he had not anticipated, and it is possible that he may be defeated in
