A statesman and a soldier! The arena of legislation ifrnnd the field of arms! ' Wliat two men cmild better represent the record and the purpose of the republican party! BQ?*People from different parts of • • the county who we meet daily have «ach something to say regarding poli- | |?Vf tics, and we hear no mans name men- * tloned oftener and more favorably than that of W. P. Morse for the office ; > of Circuit Clerk. His boom !s growing instead of diminishing, and if half is V true that is said, it seems hardly possi­ ble that he will be defeated. He has ever been a live worker in the Repub­ lican ranks, a true soldier, has suttered tSe tortures of a rebel prison pen, and carries the scar of a rebel bullet upon his person. Such a man asks for the Tlie Circuit Clerk Question. EDITOR PI.AIXIIF.AI.KR I read the article llfi last week's Sentinel relative to the Circuit Clerk question, signed "Truth,"* with much Interest, and must confess was quite amused with its sim­ plicity, if not really verdancy; especi­ ally the more so for the reason that i t had the ear marks of emanating from an individual very near our much re­ spected present Circuit Clerk*s place of business. If not right at home in his office. The article in question was good. If the length and meaningless expres­ sions contained therein areitaken into consideration; but when onagers right down to business what di(k it really prove ic Mr. Richards* favor afr-Tttswhy he should be continued iu office twelve years, or receive the nomination for the "third term?" It is certainly lamentable that Mellenry county Is so badly ofl that there is but one man in all of its length, ^nd breadth that is competent to do the business that Mr. Richards does so far in advance of others holding similar positions. What shall the county do when the present Circuit Clerk Is either too old to attend to the arduous duties of that office or has gone the way of all fleslf? It is truly a terrible outlook for the best interests of our county to contemplate. What "Truth" would have us beiieve |s that there Is not "one man in this county as competent and capable to do business of this nature as is the present incumbent of the office referred to. It is a direct insult to other county officers or any man holding any position where there is far greater business tact and qualifications necessary than to merely xitprritUrnd ilie office of Circuit Clerk. Mr. Richards has made a good and efficient clerk. Other?- have made equally as good, but failed to have others as well as themselves continual­ ly bragging them up. This, then. Is all that "Truth," or any other man 1 have yet heard claim for Mr. Richards--and in his favor. I would like to ask '•Truth' ' just one question: How does his or her view correspond with what their chief advocated four years ago. when General Grant was a. candidate for the third term ? At that time, "if our memory serves us right,"' and we think it docs, Mr.Richards (as he had a perfect right ) was a strong and out­ spoken advocate against the third term and did all in his power, not only at home, but .throughout the county, to secure delegates to go to the county convention against Gen. Grant. *V'a§ this because lie believed that the Gen­ eral was not competent to go right on holding office for the balance of his natural life? I, too, with you, Mi. Editor, 'believe that there is plenty of good timber in the c^nty to select from, even for this seemingly (in "Truill 's"estimation) difficult position, and who live outside of tlie comjty seat at that. Will "Truth" tell the public why Mr, Richards is entitled to hold this office for life? What has he done for his country that others have not. who are equally as good and worthy, and 1 for one, "Truth" to the contrary not withstanding, believe fully as able to perform the business connected with the Circuit Clerk's office as is Mr. Rich­ ards. Give us something besides brag and vain glory: and also why you think Mr. Morse (if you know the gentleman) could not, if elected, perform the duties of the office in a satisfactory manner. He seems to be well backed up by gentlemen of good standing at home, even though they may know nothing of matters of a business nature and are totally ignorant as to the trying duties present term, and has acquired a com­ petency between tlie office audi his abstract business, and as he admits lie has no further claims on the office, would it not be a graceful act for him to step aside and give some one else a chance. I have also known Mr. Morse since he SB, a boy and when I say that he is a person of the very highest type of manhood, I only echo the sentiments of every person who knows him. That he is capable of filling any office with* in the gift of the people of this county, no one can deny. The sentiment of the Republican voters in this vicinity is unmistakably in favor of Mr. Morse and lie is nearly as well known here as at his home. Why the city of Wood­ stock should feel called upon^to fill all the county officen from term to term, I connot see. Nimda has never been represented by a county oiBctri Why not give her a show.

A Word From One of the People, KIHTOU I 'I.AINUF.AI.KR:--I have been a reader of both the P .LAIXUEAI.KK and Sentinel since they were established and have read with considerable inter­ est the articles published in both papers concerning the candidates for Circuit Clerk. By reading an article In the Sentinel o\' June 5th, I find that the editor of that journal, instead of discussing tlfdTqtrestion suggested by the article lie attempts to answer, pro­ ceeds to pour a torrent of vile personal abuse on the editor of the I'LAINUKAI.KR while he admits that the editor of this journal has thrown no mud at the present incumbent of the office. The editor of the I 'LAINTKALKR is too well known to the people of Mellenry County to need any defense at iny hands, and it is also well known that he is entirely capablo of taking care of 111 pise If. 1 donor, cbim to be very well posted on the politics of this county, hut I remember distinctly the contest of six years ago mentioned by the Sentinel, when two prominent citi­ zens of this county both aspired to the Qslllee of Circuit Judge, and 1 also dis­ tinctly remember that the Sentinel ardently supported one ofthese gentle­ men up to the last issue before the Convention, and then went square back on him and advocated the cause of the other. As the Sentinel says,"it took money to run a newspaper," 1 am forced to the conclusion that the editor of that paper must have been "seen/' When 1 commenced writing this com­ munication. my purpose was to say a few word's in regard to the candidates for Circuit Oietk, being personally acquainted with both of them. I have known .Mr. Kichards since his boyhood, and entertain nothing but the kindest personal leeling toward liiin.
