A prominent republican from one of the townships adjacent to Marion was overheard to remark the other day: “I am a republican but 1 will never vote for Halleck for state senator, and 1 have heard at least twenty other republicans of my township say the same. We believe it would be very much against the people's Interest to send such a man to the legislature, and we will vote for most anyone who may be on the democratic ticket before we will support him.” This seems to be the general sentiment of the better class of republicans who know the fellow.

It Is said that the Beveridge forces, who were behind the candidacy of C. W. Miller for governor, are sore to the very marrow of their bones. They know that they were beaten by their old enemies, the cohorts of Vice-President Fairbanks. How "solid'* the Fairbanks delegation to the Republican national convention will be from now on remains to be seen. It is known that Beveridge has many friends on the delegation and human nature will have to change in a hurry If some of those men do not go to Chicago with knives sharpened for the slaughter of the boss who. by trick and machine power, overthrew them in the state convention. ... . . , . ...... ..
