The substitute waa adopted. These nominations were mad as Second Ward, Addison Ballard Sixth, Anton Stolte; Seventh, David Goldstine: Eighth. F. J. Zat-termeister; Ninth, James F.

Alderman Kent moved that in balloting for Commissioners on the various aides the South Side wards bo called first oa tbe South Sids candidates, the West Sids wards first for the West Sids candidates, and so on. The balloting then commenced on the three South Sids Commissioners. Ballard and Deasey were voted for almost' unanimously. Stolte and Shutters dividing their votes. The totals were: Ballard.

888: Deasey. 887 1 Shut- ten, 851 Stolte, 61 The celerity with which this vote was taken looked well for a com. paratively early adjournment, aa the nomination of the South Sids County Commissioners in the Democratic convention took nearly thres hours. With equal expedition the voting was car ried on for the three North Hide Commissioners. There was considerable confusion in the aisles, delegates visiting from one ward to the other, but the appointment of two ser- geants-at-arms vraa'remsrkably efficacious in restoring order.

xturmeister, jNelson and Turner had comparatively little opposition. Much regret was expressed st the retirement of Mr. Manierre, who has been a valuable member of the board. Four candidates were vo'ed for on the West Side. The vote was as follows: Gold-stone, 190; 163; Stepiaa.

L. Curry. The report was adopted, and thus 'what threatened to be a serious fiht waa amicably settled for the best interests of the party, and the present five commissioners were re nominated. This is as it should be. Mr, Struck man was nominated for President of the County Board by acclamation, on motion of M.

E. Dickson. It was thought best to take the candidate from the country, aa there is where the Republican majority comes from and so Addison Ballard, who bad many friends in the convention, was not announced as a candidate. Tbe Judicial Contests. The judgeships were then taken up.

Miles Kehoe moved that, as the Republican party was committed to the plan of non-partisan judiciary, it declare its support of that principle by nominating the two sitting Judges. Judges Anthony and Hawea. Alderman Madden at once presinted a substitute providing that the roll of wards be called and the names of candidates presented. lhis was greeted with hisses. It was evident that the fight was on.

Alderman George B. Swift spoke for tho sitting Judges. He said that the ReDublican party was on record aa lavonng the non partisan system, which means the reaomina tioa of tho sitting Judges. The Republican committee so notified the Democrats, and they renominated their two sitting members. The Ranublicans could do nothing else.

Mr. Kehoe said that the public is looking to the convention to nominate a non-partisan ticket, and he thought publio sentiment should be observed by the renomi nation of the two men who are above suspicion, Ex-Alderman Dixon said he indorsed what had been said about tbe two Judges, but he thought the call should be followed by naming tne twoJCirouit Court Judges first. James H. Burke raised the point that tbe call must be followed, but hs was not sustained by the chair. After some further discussion it was decided, however, to follow the regular order and take up the Circuit Court vacancies.

Messrs. Hanery and ttarke Nominated. The first place was the vacancy in the Cir cuit Court made by the resignation of Judge Morao. Matthew P. Brady was named by Miles Kehoe as tbe representative of the Irishmen.

Orlando Briggs placed the name of Elbridge Hsnecy iu nomination. Mr, Bricgs made an eloquent speech in behalf of his candidate, and told the convention that he was a man who could be relied upon to hear a case before be passed judgment. Mr. Briggs said that this nomination would meet with tho approval of the people and would strengthen the Republican party. D.

-anahan seconded the nomination ol Mr. Hanecy. Alderman Martin nominated Edmund Burke to fill the vacancy in ths Circuit Court caused by the death of Judge Driggs. John Gibbons was nominated by the First Ward. Alderman Kent seconded Burke and Stephen A.

Six Superior Court Jadgea. The liveliest kind of a fight was precipi tated when nominations for the six Superior Court Judges were called for, as the proposition to nominate Judges Anthony and Hawes by acclamation was bitterly opposed. Tbe Fourth Ward nominated Abner Smith the Twenty-fourth put up Elliott Anthony; the Seventh named James Frake; the Tnirty-cecond.

D. Cocdee; the Second, Kirk Hawes; A. H. Chetlsin was put in nomination by the Twenty-second Ward the Twenty-fifth nominated Nathaniel Scars; the Eleventh named B. F.

Kehoe at once renewed his prior mo tion, that udges Anthony and Hawea bj re nominated by acclamation. Mr. Nye em phatically seconded the motion. Alderman Madden, for the opposition, raised the point that tbere were twelve candidates, and it would not be fair to elect two of them by acclamation. He was cheered and hissed.

and the Chair ruled his point of order not well taken. "Then I demand a roll call cried Mad den. The proposition of Mr. Kehoe wss de feated by a vote of 203 to 233. Hawes and Anthony Win Oat.

Mr. Brady's name was withdrawn and ths vote for the other candidates was sa follows Chetlsin, 347; Ricnolson, 323; Ball, 310; Condee, SCi; llawes, Anthony, 211; Smith. 211; Frake, 198; Sears, 174; Eber- bardt. 86; Forch, 44. Tbe total number of votes was 431.

and 216 was necessary to a choice, which made the first ballot result in the nomination of tbe first five mentioned. A second ballot was ordered, and Mr. Kehoe again moved to nominate Judge Anthony by acclamation. 'No shouted Alderman Madden, snd ths chair decided that the motion was out of order, as it had been made before and lost on a roll call. Judge Anthony easily won out on the second ballot, which was but half through when Alderman Madden arose snd moved that his nomination be mads by acclamation.

Cheers greeted Maoden and bis motion went through witn shout. Neely, Esdohr and Spears Nominated. Charles G. Neely was nominated in the same way amid great enthusiasm. Stephen A.

Douglas got up on two chairs snd nom inated Mr. Neely. Then James H. Burke mov.d to make the nomination by acclama tion, snd it waa done so. The Coronership was taken ud next snd Charles E.

Madden, singularly enough, referred to Lo rimer as a sold, hard- working Republican ever since his majority. George W.

Crawford named H. Dorsey Pat- ton, and for several minutes there was cheering and shouting. Ex-Alderman Dixon, on behalf ot tbe enure aoutn bide, seconded Mr. Patton's nomination. Perry Hull, speaking for the Third Wsrd.

George B. Grant. A dispatch from Alexandria, from William Keep, of tbe Chicago and North western Railroad, contained the sad newa of the death of George R. Grant, the attorney. who was drowned in Lake Miltona, Minne sota.

Tbe news waa at onoe broken to his wife, who is daughter of Fernsndo Jones. at the home of ber father. No, 1831 Prairie avenue. No details of tbe death of Mr. Grant have been received yet.

The dispatches have been brief, but it is gleaned from them that Mr. Grant waa daowned while hunting in a boat. It is understood that he haxr gone duck-hunting, a sport of which he was particularly fond, snd the re coil of his gun knocked him backward into the water, it is mystery, however, now be came to drown, as be was known among his friends to be an athlete and an expert swim mer. It is surmised that ne waa entangled la some way, and prevented from saving himself. Lake Miltona is a beautiful stretch of water.

A club known ss ths Miltona Club, whose members sre given to hunting and fishing, baa been established there. Mr. Grant arrived st Miltona about a week ago, snd was the guest of Judge Collins, of this city. He had intended returning to Chicago on the evening of the day he was drowned. Mr.

His Youth Beset with Struggles for Education. Interested in Freedom, His Writings Had Great Influence In Advancing Abolition. Hamftobt Faxxs, N. Sept. 7.

John O. Whittier died at 4 is) o'clock this Mr. Whittier passed away peacefully. His nearest relatives snd Dr. Douglass were at his bedside when death came, and he seemed to be conscious of his surroundings at the last moment.

Tbe funeral will take place at Amesbnry, at 2:30 o'clock. Saturday afternoon. HaverhilL was the birthplace of the poet, John Greenleaf Whittier. and Dee. 17, 18J7, wss bis birthday.

His famuy were members of the Society of Friends. For generations they had belonged to that peculiar and upright people. The ancestors of the poet cams to America in 1633, land ing in Massachusetts, snd soon thereafter, that ia in the second generation, they became Friends. This was at a time when the Quakers were vigorously persecuted. Tbe rigorous treatment they received at the hands of the majority snd ruling classes did not, how ever, swerve them from their faith, snd their aUegianoe remained firm to tbe quaint snd sturdy class.

Toe young poet was born on a farm. His work for years was that of a farmer's lad. It was here he learned so much of that pastoral spirit that enters into his writings and gives them so much of tbe peaceful repose and gentleness of life snd truthfulness to nature that are so characteristic. His schooling waa somewhat scant. It waa impossible, however, to limit the rudimentary education of auch youth.

There is always in every community some literary mine ready to be developed, and Whittier records his indebtedness during his youth to Dr. Elias Weld, of Haverhill, whose library he was permitted to use aa freely ss he might. Learned Shoe making. While this was going on he was kept busy with the material things. He learned aboe-icaking meanwhile.

The fishing and farming folk of the coast villages had to engage in other pursuits in thojo months of the yesr when their regulsr occupation did not admit of service. Tbe long winter months were often devoted to other work and shoemaking was quite common among them. It thus came to pass that he was enabled to earn money enough by this kind of work to attend the academy at Haverhill for some six months or so in 1827. We msy be assured that bis culture was above that of the average farm lad of 20, for he is soon after found teaching the district school of West Ames- bury, end tbts gave another term at the academy. It waa at this penod that be made the acquaintance of William Lloyd in those daya, say tne biographers or son, "very lew original poems were sent to him that were worth printing, but in the twelfth number of his paper the Frwe Press there appeared some verses en titled, aha Exile's They were signed iiaverniii, June and a note on the preceding page indi cated that the editor had reoeived them with unusual satisfaction.

The encouragement he reoeived from Garrison was of great valus to him. and the friendship of the distinguished abolitionist was a lasting one. It was natural for hittier muse to sing of freedom and he was in delightful harmony with it. In 1829 he nndertook the editorship of the Am-riean, Manufacturer in Boston, and in 1830 be followed George D. Prentice ss editor of the Haverhill Gazette, snd later on he was editor of tbe Am England Weekty Rtfiem, publishei st Hsrtford.

lbe failure of bis health ceased him to retire from these labors. and in 1832 be returned borne. Upon tbe death of his father be conducted tbe farm for era! years. In 1835 6 be was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature, tbe only public elective office be ever held. His anu-elavery views were then a bar to political preferment.

snd later on be had no desire lor aucn service. His Work for Freedom. It waa in 1838 that he becama Secretary of the American Anti-slavery society, lie was ereatlr touched in behalf of the black man. ilson, speaking ot one of his efforts, says: "It was an earnest, tender, and eloquent ap peal to his countrymen in behalf of op pressed millions who were perishing as tbe brute perished, and whoss blood wss upon the Nation." The strong bias of Whittier for this work may easily be guessed by the following, written by him years after: I lore, perhaps too well, the praise and good will of my fellow men, but I set a higher value on my name aa appended to tbe anti-slavery declaration of 183) than on the title-page of any book. Look ing overs life marked ith many errors and shortcomings.

I re joice that I have been able to maintain tbe pledge of that signature, and that in the long intervening years "My voice, though not tbe loudest, has been heard Wherever Freedom raised her cry of pain." When Whittier became the Secretary of the American Anti-slavery Society he removed to Philadelphia. That city was tbe center of the anti-slavery agitstion. Whittier went there to attend a meeting of the National Anti-slavery Society, snd became subse quently the editor of the Pennsylvania jTree- Xbis. says one or those who have writ ten of him, "thui he did with such sincerity that ite printing office was sacked and burned by a mob. It was period that tried men's souls.

hittier, naturally delicate and sensitive, was undaunted when adversity threatened snd brsve when trial came. His labors from that time forward were very largely de voted to tbe work of advocating the gospel of freedom. In 1810 hs went to Amesbury, near where he was born, and made it his home for many years. He was. in tbe meantime, for while editor of the MiddJ-etex Standard.

He contributed editorially to the national Era from 1817 to 1859, which embraced the period in wnicn appeared in tnat publication cncie xom xne cnaracter ox Whittier's work may readily be guessed from Mrs. Stowe's great work finding a place in ita columns during those trying years. Fere aad Religious Thoughts. The work of his pen bss been pure to marvelous degree. His spirit and character are reflected in all his com positions.

He haa touched with a Mosaic rod the commonest, simplest, barest things of life, ami the fount- sins of poesy have flowed to gladden ths des-srts snd refresh snd revive the conscience of ths raoa. His winning ways have peculiar charm for all classes of readers. His humane characteristics era ever seen, even in his lowliest lyrics. His religions compositions are a very elevated, elevating tone. They sre all the hymnals snd have been an inspiration to every devout heart that reads or sings them.

One writer has said of him that "Whittier has done ss much for the scenery of New England aa Scott for that of Scotland." Ho haa won a plsos in onr literature that shall never die. His services in behalf of the shack led bondsman are of themselves a monument that shall last wben bronssand marble have crumbled to the dust, His thorough Americanism is a heritage to the youth of this land that is priceless. These are among the better known of his poetical works "Mogg Megone" (1836), "Lays of My Home" tioui.

Two years ago Captain L. T. Steward. President of the Marquette Club, was eon vinced that Illinois should bars a naval re. serve snd that Chicago was the place to start the movement.

The gentleman argued that Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and Oregon had flourishing naval reserves snd if they could sustain it so could Illinois. Cap- tain Steward has been auietly working to that end and last evening had the pleasure of see. ing bis plans take definite abape. The naval reserve is to the navy what the) National guard ia to the army, save it will not do police duty, but in case of war could furnish the government with well-trained and well-drilled men. who would be com patent to officer men-of-war.

Within the last few years Congress has authorised tbe naval reserve and haa made an appropriation that will partially sustain it, tho Legislatures of the various States that have a reserve making up the balance. In New York the reszrve baa Castle Garden for an armory, and each year the government aends a vessel and the reserve goes off on a cruise, working as part of the) crew. Such a state of affairs will soon be in vogue with the IlUnois reserve. The meeting last nigbt was held in the ball- -room of the Marquette Club. Those present were William Robinsun, F.
