If they want a jndge who can be controlled by a coterie of politicians and whose opinions willbe based on tieir effect tocertain reg policies as interests, then they had better select some one else. We be- lieve that Judge Graves chances for sucess an excellent and that he will be nominated. The Review says: *T. Kk.

He came to Bates county from Kentucky more than twenty years ago and has done valliant service in every campaign since.

A hail accompa- nied the rain which fell, and thegreen houses in about the city suffered. At the Myers greenhouse between 1,500 and 1,800 panes of glass were brok- en. At the Weltmer greenhouse 300 panes of glass were broken. There were a number of other greenhouses in the city that also suffered. At Dedrick a house and two barns were blown down.

It seems that neith-| er Bates nor St. Clair county will have a candidate. This leaves the choice between Henry and Cedar, Twelve years ago, Bates county fur- nished the democratic candidate for senator; eight years ago this honor was conlerred on Henry; and four years ago, it was bestowed on St. Clair. Is there any reason why Cedar should not furnish the candidate for this important trust? All-things be- ing equal, this county surely has rights that should not be ignored, Bates and St- Clair have, to all in- tents and purposes, respected this right of rotation by placing no can- didates in the field. These counties have exeellent senatorial timber. Why not let Henry stand aside also and give Cedar some recognition as a sister county? i have been a ident of Hickory FARMINGTON ASYLUM COMMISSION.
