Illinois Republicans Nominate Accusation Largely For Lieutenant Governor
Fragmented OCR records show confusion over the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor in Illinois. The article cites multiple spellings and a disputed name, mentioning "Deacon Bross" and variations like Cros, Lrosy, and O Brosa amid alleged Know Nothing era echoes. The piece then switches abruptly to oblique biographical notes about a miner, William O’Brosa? and a later anecdote about Belmont Bob serving Gen. McCloran at Dolmont, including a race‑tinged, racially charged confrontation.

The article reports a leading republic newspaper accusing Gen. Butler of failing to fortify his lines at Fort Darling. It claims he refused defensive intrenchments urged by Gen.

A scow ferrying Currie family and Mr Fleming collapsed when a hole opened. Fleming, Mrs. Currie, and one child drowned, while Mr. Currie and the other child survived. Mr. Fleming was a New York businessman.
