HAMILTON HAPPENINGS.
How Sadly a Bolter Got Left in
The Republican County
Convention.
Correspondence oJTffl Bn
AURORA , May 17 The Hamilton
county convention met in the court
room at 11 o'clock. All the precincts
were represented except two. The
convention then proceeded to the
election ofv delegates to Columbus
which resulted fa ihe electitm of the
folloffinorgentlemen : John W. Thierry ,
Col. Morril' ' , H. W. King , W. H.
Sheeter , Joshua Cox , and Jonathan
Foster. The delegation is solid for
Grant , but go into the convention un-
instructed. The following resolutions
as reported by the committee , were
unanimously adopted :
Resolved , That we , the republicans
of Hamilton county in convention as
sembled , do hereby reaffirm our faith
in the principles of the republican
party as heretofore promulgated by
the national convention , ana we be
lieve that the peace and prosperity of
the country depend upon the success
of the republican party st the polls
November next. Therefore ,
Rewind , That the republicans of
Hamilton county pledge their hearty
support to the nominee of the Chicago
convention.
Resolved , That we recognize General
'Grant as the first citizen of the coun
try. „
There were only two men in the
convention that were dissatisfied with
the result of its deliberations and sin i
gular enough , those two men were the
' 'rambunctious Major"and the "relic
of the fossiliferous period" mention t
ed. Contrary to their expectations
they were elected io stay at home ,
and it was done in way : They well
know that it would be impossible for
them to be elected as delegates , but
they hoped to get a couple of men
elected who could not possibly attend ;
the Columbus convention , and in this
way they would get to go as their
pioxira. The convention instructed
the delegates present at Columbus to
cast the entire vote of the delegation , t
and that no delegate should be allow
ed to give any one his proxy. The
Major ' kicked" against this move
rjuico energetically , but it was no
use , the matter had been managed so
idroitly that successful opposition was
jut of the quetion. Bolters and
nilk and-water republicans were not G
if an ted t represent Hamilton repub
licans in a stSita convention.
We had quite a rainfall Saturday
evening and Sunday morning , doing
Eamilton county many thousand dollars
lars worth of good. Early sown
rrheat looks splendidly , but that that
tras sown in the-l&tter part of April
md 1st of May will probably be a total -
tal failure. Corn is doing well. I

. The town is rapidly filling with pol
iticians. Ambngibis morning's arri
vals was John A.yLcgan. Since his
arrival from Washington- Senator
Logan ! has positively refused to be in
terviewed but this morning he had a
brief interview with a correspondent ,
during which ho denied in the most
emphatic manner any intention or de
sire to "boss" Illinois republicans.
"I am in favor of the renorai-
nalion of General Grant for
the presidency simply and only be
cause I believe , under the circum
stances , he is the strongest and most
available mau in the contest. I am
not making war upon any of the rival
candidates. That I am against them
is true , but only because I am for
Grant. Bufthould either of the oth
ers , Blaine or Edmunds or any of
themjbo the choice of the Chicago con
vention , I- shall abide by the
decision of the properly constituted :
authority. I shall support the nom
inee honeiftly and as cordially as I
can. I know some not altogether dis- ;
interestad persons have tried to make
it appear thaH was attacking Wash-
burnc , and some ho e gone eo far as :
tosay that I inspired a certain article
which appeared in The St. Louis r
31obe-Democrat some days ago. Now
to all such statements I want to enter
v positive and unqualified denial.
[ have nq sortof hostility cl
o Mr. Waihburno. Why should
[ have ? He says he is for Grant ; so
iml. We are then working in the
lame direction. Now , as to the charge
hat : Cameron and Conkling and my-
lelf have formed a conspiracy to force
Jrant upon the republican party
tgainst the wish of the majority , no
nero cruel or false assertion was
iver made. I made my choice of
iratit as a candinato with-
mt the slightest reference to
Jonklmg or Cameron.- could not
tave prevented , had I desired , Conk ei
ing from supporting Grant or oppos- eien
ng Blaine. ( Jonkling is too great a en
lower to be controlled by me or in my so
ntcrest. The same is true of Cam- sow
iron. Those gentlemen are far more he
nterested in their own States , and in sii
in
hemsclveft than in mo. Now ,
'y '
rhat would would have been said til
f me had I supported Blaine tilnf
.gainst the only candidate from my nf
iwn state , .and , further , I state em- ishi i
hi
ihatically tbat'there has been no con- hiJi
Jiai
piracy or even concert of action , ex- ai
ept as is proper between Conkling , aim Y
Jameron and myself. There have to
een no promises or trades ; nothing 81
f the sort. And all these statements
Thich you see going about to the ef- at

LINCOLN LINES ,
Vim and Venom That Marked
the Capture of Lancaster
County By Grant Men.
' f
Democrats Turn Out to Help
the Boomers.
LINCOLN , May 17,1880.
To tte Editor cf Tu Bn.
Grant has in a mesure , gobbled the
delegation to Columbus , by means of
the most strenuous efforts on the part
of Tom Kennard and his lackies who
made the most persistent and pugna
cious campaign ever made in this
country. By promising every thing
from United States senator down to
juryman , and a lavish use of money
and power , the Grant Army cf the
.Republic captured the convention and
sent Tom Kennard , John Cadman and
a few others of that ilk , to select the
men who are to direct the republican
ship of state in the coming storm.
Though to counteract their influences
ive have T. M. Marquette and a few
others who are for Washburne.
That Grant could not poll the full
republican vote of this county and
: ity , is as clear as daylight. That
he republican victory is nat depend-
int ou Lancaster county , is also
rue ; but the entire na-
ion is but an aggregate of
sounties , and if Lancaster is any s rt
if a sample of the others , why there
ire enough "close" counties in the
ountry to de.'eat Grant at the polls
is sure as election day comes round.
Che : democrats know this and so all
he old rock rooted bourbons turned
iut and worked for Grant at the pri-
aaries with all the vim and venom of
heir cantankered souls and with the
hecrfulness of one who was miking
iis calling and election sure.
A motion to instruct for Grant ,
towever , met the violent opposition S
f the entire newly electeddelegation ,
rhich shows that they appreciate the 01
ct that the stite is for Blaine , and
hat they desired to use the franchises
f our citizens to secure for themselves
lie "flesh pot of Egypt" if anyoppor-
unity is afforded.
After a fiery debate on the resolu-
ion , in which Hon. T. P. Kennard
pt handsomely combed down , a mo- tc
ion to adjourn was declared carried
midst confusion , and the 'thine
ibroke up. "
Considerable bitter feeling has been
ogendered by this fight that will
uite likely manifest itself in the fall
impaign.
The little daughter of Mr. Wat- .
JD , contractor and builder ,
bile ! playing around a bon-fire , had
er clothes ignited and although as-
stance was close at hand and almost
nmedhtoly tendered , § ho was so bad-
burned , that she died in a thont
me.
The Finch libel suit will come up
ext term of court , and a lively time
expected. The.Temple of Honor
avc made arrangements to report
udge Masons' argument to the jury
nd publish it. It will undoubtedly
lake spicy reading , and our volatile
rifquain will undoubtedly get a
ingue-wiping that will keep htm re-
pectably clean for some time.
A large party is already formed to
ttend the Chicago conventfon , and it
expected that at least one car full
'ill start from here. C.
