Minority Bepreaemtatloa. ^^correspondent of the Chicago even- In gJournaJ, writing from Kankakee, under recent date, voices the majority •f voters in our State on the "minority representation" question in the follow­ ing paragraph: "Aside from the innate stupidity or knavery of the canvass of the Legislative vote in Chicago, dis­ closed before the House Committee on Election at Springfield, the 'minority system' of voting is largely reeponsl- I le, either in being confusing to stupid judges and clerks, or in giving an op­ portunity for frauds to kntvish ones. When votes are divided by halves or cumulated In irregular proportion, and where sometimes the voter does not know what jie is doing, and casts four or more votes when he Is entitled to only three, there may be blundering by even well-intentioned canvassers, while it Is apparent thiit quick-witted and expert perpetrators of a fraud have a good field to get in the 'fine work,' which has becone a lyoverb The 'minority system* Is a nusiance lu every feature, and a humbug uureller ed by any redeamlog quality." "Whom »h»ll We Choose " The above intarwgativc are the first words ofa lalxirf'l endeavor whijh appeared in the last issue of the Marengo Republican in the in. terest of two persons, at least, one of whom aspires to the office of the Circuit Judgeship. The other party cannot be directly interested bnt has suffered himself (as it appears) to be­ come the mou.h-piece or spokesman in the interest of his p itron saint. The braying Is too loud and undisguised to deceive the pub­ lic into believing that it is the king of beasts that tins stalked forth from his dense forest retreat and would hold undisputed sway over the voters ot this Judicial Circuit. Jt is not necessary that one should apply his mind to a close scrutiny ef the piece in question, in order to ascertain who is its real author, or wli* is the dictator of those set phrases, for the individuality is too plain for the wayfarer to be mistaken therein, thou gli he he a tool. While it is true that a "hoary head"is usually accredited with having the riper mind;it does not follow that a nnn in the primj of life is lacking in these essentials because Father Time has not yet fairly placed his seal upon him. Friends, are there not other passages ill Proverbs that, if they had been placed %ide by sice with "'the hoary head Is a crown of righteousness," that would have been befit­ ting to the piece or person lauded, as is the above? For instance "faithful are the wounds ofa friend, but the kissc s of an enemy are de­ ceitful." "Let another man prais3 thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips." "Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, thin he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich." There are a tew ftatemonts made by the would-be Judge's brotheriiiscipie--as regards "qualifications--which we grant, such as "fa­ miliarity of law, rules of pleading, evidence and of practice, and aptness in deciding each emergency." etc., but were there not others which might lietter have been left, unsaid? Remember fellow citizens that in the selec­ tion of so important an official as that ot Cir­ cuit Judge we ought before making our selec­ tion, lo weigh carefully in the balance the claims of each candidate as regards fitness in every respect, but especially his morals. If we or ysn commit offenses against the crim­ inal statutes of our state, we should be com­ pelled t» feci the smarting pain of the penal­ ty; but it so happens, now and then, that some person--perhaps a friend--is (in our opinion) unjustly accused and brought before the proper tribunal for trial. In such a c.we would we not want just and unbiased rul­ ings? "Legal lore" will not always do this for the accused, but if a m in's heart is right vre may expect justice and equity; we wil take our cha.ices as to his knowledge of law. Wtat is the outlook for this County? Thus far i» this matter of the Judgeship a' one-sided affair. That the major and most influential portion of the press of McIIenry County has already chosen the better p»rt by-foisting to the head of its columns the name of its hon­ ored son, Benjamin y. Smith. Has these en­ comiums been unjustly applied, or do they constat of "livid streaks of nothingness?" It so the opiniors of some of the best intellects this county affords weigh as nothing against that ot one man, who^alone has championed the claims of his particular favorite. X© win­ der we are admonished to abandon the "tickle me and I will tickle you" methods, for its baneful effects can now, in this early stage af political maneuverings be discerned, like a small speck on the horizon. Even by those "the lustre of whose eyes are not dimned nor powers of reason impaired by age." COMMUNICATED. Matengv, March 23d, 1385. Pi?-" JOOUI ISAAC G. WILSON. Sycamore Repiglican has the : following complimentary words for the Hon. Isaac G, Wilson, Kane Coun­ ties candidate for one of tLe Judges in tbb District. Hon. Isaac G. Wilson mt Geneva has for more than thirty years been known in this county as the model judge. In 1891 when the county was new the courts were crude, the lawyers were rough and the surroundings calculated to bring our forms of justice into con­ tempt, Isaac G. Wilson was elected circuit judge and bis dignity, bis learning, his high moral character served to inspire every one with res­ pect for the court and to assure every suitor that strict and Impartial justice -would be done him. For most of thirty f.«r years that have followed. Judge Wilson has served on the bench. For the past six years he has beeu Judge of the Appellate Court, He ba9 made a grand refutation for his clear and sound opitiions, among which are some that will be quoted for ages as rules of law. He is now at the age when Judges do their greatest and beet work. He is a candidate for relectiSn as Judge of this Circuit. If elected he is pledged not to accept an appointment to the Appellate Court but Tor the future to give all his time to the work of this district. We think the circuit cannot aBord to dispense with his services; the people cannot aflord to oppose his re nomination. Whoever Is defeated Judge Wilson should be re­ elected. The following personal sketch recently appeared in the Inter Ocean. Chief Justico Isaac G. Wilson is a ft man of striking personal appearance. Mil and dignified and--judical. His Slivered locks, erect figure, and bis gar­ ments betoken the gentleman of the old school. Judge Wilson is about 68 years of age, a New Yorker by birth, and ha* been a citizen, of Illinois since 1838. He studied law under those eminent Judges, Story and Greenleaf, " at Harvard, and graduated with James Bus«ell Lowell, W. W. Story, the now famous sculptor, and other eminent 5£ei1' be8an tbe practice of law in 1841 at E gin, and in 1851 was elected <5ireuit Judge which position he held sixteen years. In 1879, being then in the practice of his profession, he was p again elected Circuit Judge, and was > ' ttisisted to office he now holds. He is 4 midely known for i.is clear and* com- ,i |»rehens!ve openions, many of which : ; will stand for geneartions as prece- dents. feV •, ^SSSSSSSES^^S!SSS Jk, Seeds at Habd-Time Prices.--In our "4»"' issue we noticed a fine new sort of > > jOelery, which can be grown as easily as f ' n head of cabbage or lettuce, all blancV JHOW TO The! li ti#e by going to the welKkaowa MERCHANT TAILOR,, 5 HARDWARE HARDWARE!

H. P. Hn.L, Manager. Silver Coinage. Editor Plaindealek:-- V?e are pleased to note that a majority of the House of Representatives have voted down with overwhelming majorities the proposition to retire frem circula­ tion the one and two dollar treasury uotcs and the suspension of Silver Coinage. Nothing could be more'disastrous to tlif business and finances of the coun­ try, and we ape happy to observe that our own faithful representative, Hon. it. Ellwoed, Is fount] voting for the interests of the great body of his con­ stituents. On this momentous question of finance the Republicans and Detno- cnts are all mixed up, each member arranging himself either 011 the side of the bankers and money loaners or with the great body of the business and laboring people of the couutry. The former class are for lessening the vol­ ume of the currency, while the popula­ tion and business are constantly on the increase! This would cause the rich to become richer and . the poor poorer. Any man of common sense can see at a glance that in order to prevent finan­ cial distress, the ciruulatin; medium must keep pace with the increase of population and business. Mr. Ellwood is also opposed to the scheme of issuing bonds to run fifty years as a basis for banking purposes. In these measures he opposes President Cleveland, who appears by his letter to his Democratic Brother Warner, to bave arranged himself on the side of the monled men of the country. Our representative is proving him- self to be an able man a*id fully identi­ fied with the best interests ot his con­ stituents. When such a man is found. It would be sensible to retain him in his position so long as his services can be secured. Obsebveh. "He Jests at scars, who never felt a wound." and a man may stand with his hands in his pockets and laugh ai a poor, worn rheumatic, but it he is gentleman, he'll step into the nearest apothecary 6hop and buy him a bottle of Salvation Oil at the sninll expense of twenty-five cents.
