On Tuenlay Inst, for the fourth time th*» people »f thTs, the Eighth Sena- torlul District, elected, by a handsonse majority, the Hon. F. K. Grander, of this town, to represent them In the lower Horts® of our State Legislature. And this lis as it should be, From tils long experience and eminent fitness for tite^sitioii he is enabled to better represent the interests of his constitu­ ents .thai) any new man conld. Two years.' ago he was made temporary Speaker, and after the organization was given the chairmanship of one ot the most important Committees, and was the acknowledged leader on the Republican side of the Hotase. With these "facts before them the people again put him in nomination and on Tuesday triumphantly elected him, knowing that their interests at the State Oapltol conld be put in bo better 'hands. : ' , ""McHenry County has always been «n easiest working Republican county, never asking much and always content to help those outside of its borders.-- But to-day the Republican voters of the Eighth District, and of McHenry county in particular, ask as a matter of justice and right, that the Hon. F. K. Granger be elected Speaker of the in­ coming House of Representatives. The fact that neither his county nor District has any State institution, nor other local cause to enlist his sympa­ thy in favor of any one section of the State at the expense of any other, and that his county is no* in that close alliance, politically or otherwise, witn Cook County, so as to unduly influence his action in reference to required Legislation for Cook County |s strong reason in favor of his election as Speak­ er, The voters of his District, by tbelr Votes, giving him nearly 2000 more votes than any other nominee received, endorsed him for the high position claimed for him, and for which his acknowledged experience fad ability so eminently fits him.

LIT THE PEOPLE REJOICE WHO CAN IEAEK TO ©SSAT?-!?--- II does not requira a special taste for drawing in order to acquire skill in this Art; patience and perseverance are of far more value. All can learn to draw, that can learn to write. There are two classes of persons who cannot cultivate their faculties 1n this line, namely, the Blind and the Para­ lytic. • At the present day even the Imbedile are . found capable of doing much with the pencil and through their use of it an interest is aroused for doing other work. Experience shows it to be a fact that children.from eight to twelve years of age have more tact for this work than their friends imagine, and the ctflture acquired in this department at an age before their studies require considera­ ble time out of school hours is of ines­ timable value to them thi-ough life ; for in tlttse times those possessed of the most skill and taste secure the desirable positions In every depart­ ment of Industry. A rare opportunity Is now ottered for thf organization of a class in this Important brauch of education the terms being less than half that usually charged. Miss Reed, Teacher of Draw­ ing'in the Richmond High School, has decided, . if a sufficient number of pupils can be obtained, to spend two days of each week in this village, and teach this most useful part of educa­ tion in all its branches. Miss Reed's terms ate so low that we believe she will have no difficulty in getting up a class. EDITOR FLAINDEALKK:<--Dear 8ir: Having been an old Typo, we doubt not yon will extend tons your sym­ pathies when we tell you that while absent from our residence on the 10th, of October, our house was entered by burglars, and ransacked from Cellar to Chamber, and in just sixteen days from that period, a secret combined band of desperadoes from Woodstock, McHen­ ry, Wauconda, Nun da and Crystal Lake, made their appearance before our domicil and demanded a full and complete surrender of our inner works." Feeling ourselves incapable of resist ing so numerous and powerful A> force, of course we made an Immediate and unconditional surrender. Then came pouring inte our Castle this united and resietlees troop, with . their various magazines, such as baskets, boxes and bundles heavily ladened with rations etc. etc., ample for a much more exten­ sive Campaign. Our Captors proving themselves to be of a generous order of beings, we bore our captivity with for­ titude. In a wurd we hugely enjoyed the society of these our invaders. Toward, the close of this uncommonly pleasant social religious gathering ^Cld. Jde.l Wheeler, who united the prisoners in the holy bonds of Matri mony just forty years previous, treated the audience to a nice appropriate and touching little speech, and closed the interview with a fervent prayer. JOB If ATXSWORTH. The result of thfe Election on Tues­ day last was better than even the most sanguine could have hoped. An unustt. ally light vote was polled all over the country, but the general result was a glorious Republican victory. In some localities and Townships the Green- backers, by swallowing the Democrats, showed considerable strength, but the general verdict of the People was for honest money every time. In this county the closest light was on Sheriff, every means ever heard of toeing nsed to defeat Stedman, but their effbrts failed, and he was elected by a majority of 347, This te small, but is accounted fjpr by the unusually light vote polled. On Representative Granger ran way ahead of his ticket, having received over 6000 votes, full two thousand more than any other man in the field. In Che Congressional tight Sherwin had a regular walk-away, and will be elected by full 10,000 majority. The People want no 4'Stoaghton in theirs," while Adams must have withdrawn the day before, as in his own town and County he was scarcely recognized. IN CHICAGO The people have again taken the reins Into their own hands and Bum* merissn is squelched. Cook County elects three Republican Congressman and Hoffman for 8her!ff by handsome majorities. In this State the ftepubllcan ticket lvis elected by from 18,000 to 20,000 majority, the Legislature is Republi­ can, which ensures a Republican Uni­ ted States Senator, and probably gain two Member! of Congress. •' NKW YORK. ^The Empire State has spoken, and •e is no uncertain sourid, New City, "Which has so long been under the rule .of Tammany, is re­ deemed, the State is solid Republican with a Republican Legislature and a gain of six Congressmen. * MASSACHUSETTS. " The demagogue Butler is defeated by over 30,000 majority at which'all good citizens throughout the United States will rejoice. The route was complete and Talcott, the Republican candidate will not have less than 30.000 majority. In short the hews all Along the line in the North shows Republican vic­ tories, and in many places with ma­ terially increased majorities. The election has proved one thing.-- That while in some localities, by the use of money. considtM'able strength for the "flat Green buck" movement was shown, as a general thing the peo­ ple are not ready to^Adopt the Infant son of the demagogues Sam. Cary, Brick Pomeroy, and others. To be sure, in this tigh t the. Green backers have swallowed the Democratic party, but In their greed to get hold of the spoils they have shown the cloven foot so plain that tlie people deviiicd tM^. true object and shoved the unsavory dish from them. The "flat money party died on Tuesday last while at­ tempting to bite ott and swallow more than it could chew.

T6wn- send spoke her£ on tfee Greenback question Friday evening to a reason­ able full house. He is spoken ofjby those who heard him && a geiiileinau of flue ability, and pleasing address, but we have not learned 'that the meeting changed materially the pofiti cal status in this locality. On Saturday night S tough ton spoke, from his Democratic stand point, and on Sunday night at the Presbyterian church from his prohibition stand point thus giving him an opportunity, to "serve two masters"a thing which our Saviour declared uno man could do." But our Saviour evidently did not know Stonghton when he uttered those sen- tlruents, and if the satue woe rests upon Hypocrites of the present day as pronounced by Christ eighteen hun- dredyenrs ago, "the time' is not far distant, when this religio political Hypocrite will hear the sentence "de­ part from m» ye workers of iniquity I never knew you." Those principles that will not hear a full discussion b«f»> fore the saifte audience are not safe for a free people to endorse. In his speech Saturday night lie dare not utter his prohibition sentiments because his audience was largely composed of autiprohibitlonists. On Sunday ftljgftf bis audience was largely composed of Prohibitionists vyhere he could assail the practices and business jof his Sat-, urday night's audience with all the "fury of the blast" and the only reason why the "tables of the money changes" of the present day are not overturned, when the "House of prayer" is changed into a den Ac., fs because theMilleni- um is not yet, ,, On Saturday morning a . strange horse, wreaking with sweat, and faded was discovered In the street near the Barn of Mr. Lamb, a buggy stood near by and over on the inside of the high board fence, was found a harness. At the rear of the buggy was tied a piece of halter strap drawn so tight as to in­ dicate some hard pulling before it had been cut loose. Of course all except the fact that they had been left by some rascal was a mystery. A Tele­ gram from Richmond, followed by Jack Wray unraveled the enigma. The Drug Store of Alexander & Hyde^ had been burglarized, and the horse and buggy stolen to convey the plunder across the country for shipping on our early train. In stealing the herse they found the encumbrance cf a colt by her side they dare not leave lest being lonely it sheuld cell to loudly for the stolen mother and give the alarm. So it was evidently hitched In the rear and proving obstinate to lead iinpeed- od progress till Mr. Thief was obliged to cut the halter. Some heavy bag­ gage was shipped for a stranger whli a mud bedaubed coat oh our Woodstock Train, which seems to explain the riddle. At this writing we have not learned that the colt has been found. The barn of our, P. M was discovered to be on tire on Saturday afternoon just in time to save it and its conteuts. composed of tils four young morgan horses, one team being out at the time, about twenty tous of Hay, a quantity of Oats, Harness, Agricultural. itnplei ments Ac., Ac. Cause smoking and carelessly dropping a match in Utter some twenty feet away. Mr Smith never smokes himself and did hot know that any such careless habit6 were in­ dulged about or near the barn. The damage is but slight, and if it teaches the lesson it ought to teach it is well to have happened. The weather is again beautiful and corn husking is in order. You made us say "Poetry laden dit­ ties" in our last, we wrote "poverty" not "poetry." Quite a difference.- very much to the appearance of the western portion of our village. The Sociable held at J. D. Ferguson's last Thursday was quite well attended. Among the new faces was that of Bliss Grace Todd, of Elgin.
