Chas, Ea Fuller, of Boone county, is spoken of candidate for congress in the Fifth is district, to till the vacancy pritawed by the recent death of Hon. R. Ellwood, of DeKalh, Mr. Fuller is a prominent and successful lawyer of Belvidere, hiving been a member of of both houses of our state legislature. He was the recognized leader of the House during the recent session at Springfield. He is one of the most for- «lb}e public speakers in the state." . r*, EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--I in Kane County last week and VfDHwt three or the largest towns there, and while I am no politician, and but little poteJ as regards district politics, I have this to say: that no man could be where I was long and not be question­ ed as to whether McHenry County had a candidate for Congressional honors; and though Aurora and Elgin havo no lack of aspirants for the p.'ace to suc­ ceed our late Congressman, there are many old soldiers who are men of In­ fluence who are favorable to and are anxious that McHenry County should have the choice of selecting the Con gressman this time ir they will place in nomination Hon. M. L, Joslyn. I find the Judge has many friend6 in Kaue County who claim that his ad­ ministration of the duties assigned him in the Interior Department met their views exactly, I also hear many here who seem to desire to have a chance to support Mr. J., but like my self, can not find out whether the gentleman cares for the position. Mr. Editor, how is it? You ought to be posted. OLD SOLDIER. Nunda, III., July 20tli, 1885. We have received several inquiries similar to the above, of late, but must acknowledge that we are not 4 posted," and are equally as much in the dark as regards candidates for Congressional honors ii*. this county, as our corres­ pondents. Should the Hon. M. L. Joslyn enter the field he would have a strong following, not only in this coun­ ty. but throughout the entire district, as his record while In Washington has made him justly popular with the old soldiers. But as yet, so far as we can learn, he has not signified to either friend or foe that hie was a candidate, And then again we have heard the name of our able State Senator, the Hon. Ira It. Curtiss, favorably men­ tioned in this connection. Also the veteran politician, A. B. Coon, of Marengo. But, as we said before, we are In the dark as to whether or not McHenry County has a candidate for Congres­ sional honors. |When we learn we shall hasten to inform our correspondents. MP*Whatever may bs the sufferings Gen. Grant as death daily stalks »r him, one thing is certain, and Is his mind remains tranquil. A S$tw days age his very quietness led the family to suspect that he might be suffering much, but that he wished to conceal it from them. The heroic Gen­ eral noted their look of anxiety and wrote upon a slip of paper the follow­ ing: "Do as I do. I take it quietly, give mjfielf not the least concern. If I knew that the end was to-morrow I would try and get rest in the mean­ time. As long as them's no progress there's hope." Those words will long be remembered. A Washington dispatch in the Chi­ cago Daily News of last Friday stated that Senator Herely was putting in his spare time trying to remove the post­ masters at Harvard and Marengo. Sen- Senator Herelev can employ his time to better advantage. Postmaster Adams, of Marengo, gives the best of satisfaction to all the patrons of the office, and while we are not of those who expect his reappointment under a Democratic administration, we are of those who most earnestly desire that he remain in office until his commis­ sion expires. Senator Hlreley need not render himself obnoxiouB to his Republican frieuds in his old home by attempting the removal ot our present Postmaster, as he certainly will if he succeeds.--Marengo Republican, What has this man Herely got to do with the Postoffices in McHenry Coun­ ty, anyway? It seems to us that if he looks after the offices of his own Sena­ torial District he would have his hands full. From all we have ever heard, Postmaster Adams is well liked by the patrons of the Marengo office, both Democrats and Republicans. He has a few months to serve and those whose business it is are satisfied to let him remain that few months. Senator Herely, of Chicago, is not asked nor wanted to "stick his nose" in matters of this nature up this way. We have better and more intelligent Democrats in McHenry County than he, and they know enough to attend to their own business. fl^The newspapers which are keep­ ing watch and guard over General ©f&nt at Mt. McGregor are fully con­ scious of their responsibility and of the public interest in the movements the great invalid soldier. Years hence the minute accounts of his last 4ays will be read with as great and .greater interest than now, even as we MOW read of the last hours of Washing and Lincoln. Without doubt, one of the world's greatest men is dying, slowly and painfully, upon that moun tain. As long as life is spared to the |pMferer no attentions can be too great devote to him who has done so much all. In this fact lies the public srest wlncntoenters upon Mount Srcgor. ^ •#*it would scarcely seem probable for a man ot A. J. Hopkins' ability to Claim that he has a mortgage on the Bepubllcan votes of DeKalb county, And yet we hear everywhere the story Of bargain and pledge. If delegates to a former convention so far forgot them­ selves as to sign any obligation as to future support, the free voters ofDe- Kalb county should see that they are left at home.--Elgin Ntiws. In this free and enlightened country •very man has the undoubted right to •eek and ask for any office, but when •wy uian claims that he lias a preferred r'fcht, by means ot bargain and sale, or otherwise, he i6 displaying an amount |mfcheek that is astonishing to behold. What has this man Hopkins ever done £f«r the Republican party that entitles to this preference? If the Repub- iPparof Kane county have no better " iaiber than A. J. Hopkins to present (•&** Congressional Convention they do well to leave the matter of re­ jecting a successor to Mr, Ellwood to sr sister counties. 'The practice of retiring to Intone pits" during the storm has led •ebism in a Georgia church. A rlty of the brethren considered • means of safety an evidence of it In God.
