Th« following letter from the Hon. CiiftrlM E. Fuller, published In the Bel vide re Northwestern, Is timely and to the point, and should be read by •vary Republican voter in the 5th Congressional District: Mu. EIMTOK:--YOU have done me the honor to mention my name as a possible or probable candidate for Congress, and have spoken in quite favorable terms of such proposed candidacy. For this 1 thank you, none the less sincerely be* cause it was wholly without solicita- tl< n from me. Other papers in the district, as well as in other sections of the State, have also honored me with a favorable mention In the same con­ nection, 'or which I thank them. Two papers, however, the Patrol, published at Geneva, and the True Republican, published at Sycamore, botli advocat­ ing the candidacy of Mr. Hopkins, of Aurora, have seen fit repeatedly to attack me, in the bitterest possible manner, because of my supposed candi­ dacy. In oppogition to their favorite. To them, and to the man whom 1 sup­ pose to be behind them Instigiting and paying for such attacks, I desire to pay ray respects. First, however, permit me to say that I am not. and do not in* tend to become a candidate for that position. Certainly not. In the sense of seeking or asking for the nomina­ tion. I am not unmindful of the honor done me by the mention of my name for so important and honorable a posi­ tion, or by the unanimity with which my neighbors and friends, and the people generally of my own county, who know me best, have expressed I heir desire to see me elected to Con­ gress; nor do I care to conceal the fast that I should be proud to represent, in ttie National Congress, this great Re- ' publican district, which in intelligence as well as in its Republicanism, is second to none in the land. As I view the situation were I to be- come a candidate, tiiere would be little hope for srccess by honorable and le­ gitimate means, and success by any other, I do not desire. It is proper, or seems so to me, that J should briefly state the facts which have led me to this conclnsion and decision. If I un­ derstand the situation correctly, a deal or bargain has been made which set­ tles the question of the nomination in advance, without consulting the people at all, and by which the three counties of Boone. McHenry and Lake are to be entirely ignored. I tuought this coun­ ty, of whose delegation I was chairman had something to do with the nomina­ tion of Mr. Ellwood. We voted for him Hi convention for over a hundred and fifty bailors, but be was not nomi­ nated uutil the Kane delegation aban doned its candidate, Mr. Hopkins, and voted with Boone and DeKalb for Mr. Ellwood. AH do not underitaiid how that change ou the part of the Kane delegation was brought about. Ijet me srate the facts as 1 understand them, and if they are not correct it will be easy for the aforesaid "organs" to cor­ rect ay statement. Every delegate but one from DeKalb county at that time (and that one was absent) signed a paper. I have never seen the paper and cannot give its contents, but I am told it is in existence, and to avoid any dispute over is precise terms, it might be well for Mr. Hopkins to pub­ lish it that the people may know just What U does contain. It is said that it was a contract that Mr, Ellwood should not be a candidate for reflection, and when his term expired the vote of De­ Kalb county should be delivered to Mr Hopkins. Certain it is that an effort Is being made to effect a delivery un­ der such contract. Whether the people of DeKalb county feel bound by that aontract I am not advised; but as I happen to know, Mr. Ellwood was of the opinion, and there seems to be some reason for insisting that Mr. Hop­ kins was amply paid for all he did for Mr. Ellwood and ought not now to make any claims ou that score. For I ant told, (and if not true it ought to be disputed and disproved.) that there was an additional consideratiun for Mr, Hopkins to retire and let the Kane delegation go to Mr. Ellwood, viz: the payment by Mr. Ellwood to Mr. Hop­ kins of the sum of two thousand dollars In cash. It seefbs to me that it would be better if the "organs" of Mr. Hop­ kins would devote less time to me and give a little of their valuable time and attention to explaining these matters, which I stand ready to prove, and also in satisfying it they can, the minds of the people as to what a man. whose friendship and influence can be pur cliased, either with money or promise of future support, would be li able to do In Congress when some individual or seme great corporation especially de­ sired to obtain his friendship and in­ fluence. In view of the aforesaid contract Mr. Hopkins' most lavish, "organ," the Patrol, says: "It may not be necessary to call Mciienry at all" in the Conven­ tion, Although the Patrol "would advise its being done for appearance sake, at least." This, of course, is equally applicable to Boone and Lake, for Kane and DeKalb alone can nomi­ nate if the contract is carried out. So far as I am concerned, should 1 be one to represent this county. I would not care to have my county called simply "for appearance sake," while the dele­ gates lrom two other counties were ratifying their private trades. The people of Luke, Boone and McHenry were not consulted in the making of the trade and perhaps ought not to be expected to participate in the cere loonies attending its consummation. in any event, it will be seen, that i„ Is wholly useless for Boone County to present any candidate at the Conven­ tion, unless he lias plenty of money and is willing to use it, which Is not the case with me; and in my opinion the best we could do would be to com­ bine with whoever may be in that con vention, opposed to barreling away nomination, for a consideration, and without consulting the people. My views may be considered old fashioned and out ol date, but I still believe in the old doctrine, that obtained in the early days of the Republic, that "the Office should seek the man," rather than the converse of tlat proposition. The People of DeKalb County seem to favor the candidacy of Gen. Dustin, tban whom a braver or better man never lived, and if they would insist on instructing for him, regardless of any political trades, the other counties of the district might feel inclined to concede the remainder of the unex­ pired term to DeKalb, Then McHenry, which the Patrol says, "It may not bs necessary to call at all" in the Conven­ tion, has never bad a Congressman, al­ though It numbers among its citizens •evera.1 gentlemen as able, as worthy, * WELL QUALIFIED ** T0 B® *0UI"L in the district; and all personal con­ siderations aside, tt would seem that McHenry has some claims that ought to be respected bv the balance of the listriut. Lake, also, is not deficient In Congressional timber, and all in ail it would seem as though the people •night be trusted to select a candidate of their own from some of these coun­ ties, rather than to tamely submit to be used to ratify and confirm a corrupt political trade. Now, Mr. Editor, thanking all who have expressed a desire or a willing­ ness to support me, and assuring the 'organs" that I eat.not and will not be black mailed. I respectfully decline to be considered as a candidate, until the people, of theit own free will, unhamp­ ered by bargains or trades, choose to make me one. Very Respectfully Yours, ("HAS. E. FULLBR. Congressional. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--I have read with much interest the various articles in the PIAIKDEALER relative to the Congressional election soon to be held to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Ellwood, The piece clipped from the Geneva Patrol, in your issue of August 11th, should arouse every Republican voter in McHenry County. I know nothing against Mr. Hopkins, either personally or politically, but If that Item is a fair specimen of those appeariug in the papers giving him their support, every Republican paper in this county should come out squarely for some other man at once. There have been several gentlemen named in connection with the office, one of whom (Hon. M. L. Joslyn) is a resident of our county. Everyone knows with him at Washington the 5th District would be well represented, but it seems to me, Mr. Editor, that McHenry county had better let the prize fall elsewhere thl« time. Hon. Charles E. Fuller, of Boone counry, Is, it seems to me, the "man of men" to succeed the late Mr. Ellwood. We owe it to him for the able manner in which lie led the party in the Legislature and for the noble work be did last fall. There is not a man in the 5th District that worked harder for the success of the Republican ticket and Republican principles than did "Charley" Fuller. His services were constantly in de­ mand, and everyone admits there was not an abler speaker in this county during the campaign. He is one of those men that improve with age. The more you see and hear him the better you like him. He is still yonng--right In the prime of life--one of the lead­ ing Republicans in the State, and it seems to me McHenry county will "do herself proud" if she instructs her delegation for the "gentleman from Boone" "first, last and all the time." As the Illinois State fournal truly says: "It was left to the Republicans of the State to fill . the vacancy,the choice would without doubt fall upon Hon. C. E. Fuller." With a Democratic President and a large Democratic ma­ jority in the lower branch of Congress, it behooves the Republican voters Of our District to select our ablest man, and so add, not detract, to the Repub­ lican side. Mr. Fuller would be an addition to our forces in every respect. Can we do better? I think not. ANTI-HOPKIHS. Richmond, Aug. 18th, 1885. SfThe papers in southern Kane and some in DeKalb county appear to thl nk that the nomination of A.J. Hopkins as the successor to Hon. Reuben Ell­ wood, is a foregone conclusion. This conclusion appears to be reached as the sequel to a bargain reported to have been made at the last Congress­ ional Convention, by which, in con­ sideration of Kane's support of Mr. Ellwood, DeLalb would repay in kind at the expiration of Mr. Ellwood's term. This is the substance of the bargain as reported. If It is true, the slate ought to be smashed finer than sand; If not true, some one who knows ought to make an authoritative denial thereof. As the case stands, If it be true, and Its denial has not been made public, Kane and DeKalb have but to pool their Interests," and nominate their man in spite of all opposition. Yet it is not ctear that such a bargain and sale of the other counties in this District would be ratified at the polls. Mr. Hopkins may possibly be the prop­ er man to represent this District in Congress, but if his nomination be secured by any such corrupt practice, it would not be a good recommendation as being worthy to fill the position or Congressman from this ^District--a District which has so many good men to select from.--Marengo Republican. • • , " *r:>" FOR NEW Advertisement of BROS, Waueonda A Homo Boarding School For Girls. . ----AT i Woodstock, Ills.
