J. V. STEVEWS, Wanconda, 111. Mr. Stevens Is the popular Principal •f the Wanconda Public School, has taught in Lake County over twelve years, and with such success that he •lands to-day In the highest ranks as a teacher, and as a christian gentleman has the confidence and respect of all who know him. He has the highest testimonials from the best educators 'n the State, and the Republicans of Lake County would do themselves honor by giving Mr. Stevens their unanimous support. In the matter of our schools personal preferences should be laid aside, and only the good of our schools taken into consideration, and Mr. Stev­ ens, being a practical educator, one whose whole sonl is in the work, and having the vim and pride to 1o. coup­ led with the acknowledged ability, we •ay without hesitation, that the schools of Lake County would be largely bene­ fited by electing him as Superintend­ ent, A TIP. TOP TIMR. Bnre's dallv paper, styled. Among the (Movds, and published each summer in the Old Tip-Top House on the sum­ mit of Mt. Washington, contains the following in Its issue of July 8th: "W. T*.

C. Ful­ ler of Boone, stepped boldly into the ring and in a very handsome and ad­ mirable speech presented the name of Reuben Ell wood. This orator happened to be Senator Chas. E. Fuller. Gen. Fuller, (A.C) was not at the Convention, being In Colorado, we think. We heard many compliments of C. IS. Fuller's nominat­ ing speech. It was universally set down as a neat thing. Bourne, the McHenry mfin, delivered a pretty fair ^speech, but he rather "slopped over" at times in his praise of Judge Smith. --Standard. l^^The Woodstock Sentinel, smart­ ing under the severe drubbing admin­ istered to the Sonthworthglennon com­ bination by the County Convention, is trying to keep its courage up by whist­ ling the same old tune.and attempting tn make the people outside of the coun­ ty believe that everything turned out jufct ifcs they intended it should, and claim that B. N. Smith carried this county. In making this claim, as usual, they fall to tell the truth. We here make the positive statement, and chal- lenge the Woodstock Sentinel. or any of their clique toprove to the contrary, that had the Hon. J. 0. Sherwin re­ mained in the field, Judge Smith would have carried just four towns out of the seventeen in McHenry comity, and no more. In other words he would have received In the. County Convention, forty-seven votes out of one hundred and seventy six. And in the face of this fact, wklch they must know, these ring tricksters have the brazen cheek to claim he "carried the County!" He did not and could not carry It, but when Mr. Sherwin withdrew it was given to Wni. This fact has been acknowledged In our hearing by members of this des­ picable Ring, and who have even gone farther and owned what we charged them with during the canvass, that they *'did not think Smith stood a ghost of a show any of the time." This ring of political cut-throats were the cause of Bmith*e political death, and we think now they would show better taste if they would allow bis corpse to rest In peace. 'General Logan spoke at Lake Bluff on the Fourth,, aitd( propounded the query: "Is there any difference In money ? Have you ever known a minister of the gospel to refuse a ten dollar bill toward building a church because a ealoon keeper gave it?" John shows that he Is a close observer of human nature.

Ten days ago he sat in a railway car that was dumped of! a bildge into a creek and was smashed to pieces, yet, when the passengers from other parts, of the train came to help the wounded, Qrah$ sat in the wreck like a sphinx, smoking his cigar. Last Monday he started out from his cottage at Long Branch to indulge In his usual after­ noon drive. He is exceedingly fond of a good trotter, and seeks the back roads at the Branch to speed his ani­ mal, as well as to get away from the crowds that throng the beach drive. However, to reach the country he was forced to pass along the main avenue and he was there stopped, with many other carriages, by a balky team. Dur­ ing this delay, a saddle horse, which had been jammed in alongside the General, became fractious, and kicking up his heels, knocked away the dasher of the General's new carriage and broke a wheel. The occupant quietly bundled up his lines, chewed his cigar, and waited for (lie beast to come at him again.--Philadelphia Record, Greenback Mass Conven- ' tion.

EHH-ORPLAINDEALKR:--The contest beforeVhe Republican convention till* fall (o\ County Superintendent of Schools Htd« fair to be one of considera­ ble Intere it. The leading candidates arc Mr. Pi tor Fisher, the present In­ cumbent. ind Mr. J. V. Stevens, Prin- of the Wauconda School. The requi­ sites for a Superintendent were well stated some weeks ago, by the Rose- crans correspondent for the Eepubli- can. "What the teachera and all in­ terested In the welfare of our public schools demand. Is a man whose inter­ ests and experience are directly In the line of school work, a man whose Inter­ ests lire also in this county." Being unacquainted with Mr. Fisher, wTio Is stated to be 4ia man of ability, well qualified and a successfully teacher." he Is unable to draw an intelligent comparison between the two candi­ dates, but he believes that the above will apply with equal. If not greater force, to our candidate, Mr. Stevens, who taught his first term In Lake Co., more than'twelve"years ago, and has been teaching at different times ever since, under his vigorous administra­ tion. bringing an Increased number of outside scholars each term. At their meeting last April the directors unani­ mously voted to secure him for anoth­ er year at an increased salary. His reputation in Libertyville, where he taught previous to coming to Waucon- •la. caused the' directors to offer him $120 a year more than they last paid him, hoping to secure him for the coming yeai. He also received flatter­ ing offers to go to Lake Forrest, and recently has been offered $100 per month to become principal of an Iowa High School, but Wauconda can't spare him. It is believed that his enthusi­ asm and unusual executive ability would impress their influence upon the schools of this county, greatly to their advantage, and for this reason we hope he will\be elected. Greatly to the surpriseTof most peo­ ple, Postmaster Todd changed the of­ fice in the furniture store, to Mr. Wy. man's, Mr. Robt, Harrison's old store. Hughes & Golding have recently dis­ solved partnership, Mr. Golding retir­ ing, and it 'said that certain differences offjopinlon between Megsrs. Todd. Hughes and John Golding^ led to the change. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Andruss " have moved tQ Ringwood to take charge of Mr. Dner's 6tore there. Mr. and Mrs. /Duers will probably soon follow. Mrs. Robr. Harrison's new house is completed, and Mr. Wyinan moved in­ to it Monday. Mr. Weir advertises his stock of hand made boots and shoes at cost, as he plans leaving the place soon. Mr. Swiuson has a house full of Chi­ cago boarders. Mr. George Bennett, son of Mr. John Bennett,, lias just reached Wauconda from England. Mrs. Ambrose Bangs, Is visiting friends in Wauconda. Mrs. Stoddard, of Chippewa Falls, is visiting friends at Mr. Seymour's. Mr. Giles Fisher, a dealer of consid­ erable note In fast horses, has. lately come into possession of a fine young mare of Gray Messenger blood, with already an enviable reputation upon the turf. Doubts of the ability of the mare to make a journey of sixty miles between sun and sun. to rest the day following, and to make the same jour­ ney the day after iu the same time, being expressed by Mr. J. F. Rooney, a bet was promptly offered and accep;ed that the aforesaid could do the same. Accordingly at one minute past sun­ rise Monday morning, the mnre started to- make -three trips to McHenry (it being ten miles from Wauconda) the ribbons being held by Albert Stone. The result of the race Is await­ ed with breathless anxiety by our sporting friends. We have no disposition to quarrel with our brother correspondent for the Gazette, or to defend saloon keepers or any one else from truthful attacks, but when he states that more drunken men are seen on our streets sinc9 tiie new saloon opened than for months before, w«i believe he is doing Injustice, not only to the new saloon, but to the goodnameof the village. He says: "more drunken men are seen than for months before," implying that drunk­ en men have been common upon our streets for months, but now they are unusually abundant. Nearly every town has a few men who are in a semi- inebriated condition much of the time. Wauconda, unfortunately Is not an ex­ ception, but drunken men have not been common, and for this, we believe much credit is due Mr. Pratt, for his refusals to sell to Improper customers, but t lat drunkenness has notably in­ creased since the new saloon started we believe to be false. Thl3 is not tiie opinion of your correspondent alone but of other equally disinterested per­ sons. It may be saTd, that Justice didn't write "more men are seen," but lie used the participial form of the verb. To avoid the possible charge of unfairness, the paragraph is gUen in lull: The new saloon ' is in full blast. More flrankcn men seen on our streets since it openeii, than for weeks before, must he very satisfactory to those nr.cn-, who worked for it. . This Idea of being universal censor over the morals of the community is all very well in its pla;e. There Is room for improvement iu Wauconda, Heaven knows, and the man who has the sand to boldly and truthfullv tight an evil in the paper or any where else, in the honest hope of bettering things, merits the highest, respect. But the man who takes advantage of his con­ tract to furnish items for the 30iinty paper, and, under an assumed name of Justice, gets oft drives on people be­ hind their backs, unwarranted by the facts in the case, seems, to your hum­ ble servant, very much out of place, and an injury to the cause he seeks to advance.
