iS?v Th« Speakership- from M BtUUtn Northwestern. Knowing that tbe people of this -Sipttteritt district are deeply inter-1 of what little ««|ad In the contest for tbe Speaker- Strip of the House, ana desirous for the •legation of the Bon. Charles E. Fuller to that position, which he is so well qualified to All, the reporter of the UNbntern oallsd on Mr. Fuller and latarriewed him on the subject with Die following result: % **The Legislature convenes on the first Wednesday after the first Monday |u January." said Mr. Fuller, "which this year will he on the 5th day of tbe jsoath. The Republican caucus is usually held to the night before the testloa begins. I do not believe any perso* can form any well founded opinion as to who the successful candi­ date will be until the caucus meets. The Republicans hare seventy eight Members, or a majority of three over ; *11 others,so that, el course, the nom­ inee of the caucus will be elected without difficulty. I am making no effort to secure the Domination, and care very little about it. There are elx or seven candidates for the Speak­ ership. any one of whom, is qualified 10 fill the office to the general satisfac­ tion of Republicans. Tho matter is the more complicated and uncertain from the fact that only eighteen old ? members have been returned, while : there are sixty new men, most of » whom will not commit themselves un- , till about the time the caucus meets. I up the oldest member. In point of on tbe Republican side of tbe >, and the only one of the candi- wbo has had experience in tho chair, litis I suppose ought to ^ be in mjr favor, for I believe I gave Igeaeril aatisfaction as a presiding •fioar at the last session; at least, on the last day of tbe eession tbe House tfseo »e a unanimous vote of thank;. I fhall go to 9pringfield about January 1st. and If Dominated and elected, as 1 Jmw tkisk I will be, I shall do my best tifllhs office with eredlt to myself aad to sbe district." Win locality cut any figure in tbe ooatest? "*It may. All the other candidates exoeptXr. McMillan of Chicago, be­ long to the central or southern por­ tions of the State, and I understand they are each using the argument that DOrthem part of the state has . the .^speaker for several con. sessions, and therefore It oow to some other portion of the There is however no reason in the argnment. For twenty years or 9MMO, nearly all of the State officers have come from the central and southern Illinois. Tbe North rolls up the Republican majorities, and as a -rule gits nothing. Boone Is and always has been the banner Republi­ can oounty In tbe State, and Is entitled to recognition as such. No man however, should be chosen for so responsible a position simply by feaeon of the locality in which he itvta. Tbe position of Speaker is a responsible one, and Its duties are arduous. The best man for tbe place should bo selected, no matter what part of the State he lives in." What position will you take if you Should not be chosen Speaker? "I will cheerfully support whoever WOiives the Republican nomination .and take my place in the procession) whatever he chooses to place me." • Editor PLAnfDttAL*ft:--Wiuter is Why is It that Ringwood Is called a dead place? Is it because we have no salooa to blight the peace and harmony business is done in our midst, or is It because no one takes an interest In public afiairs and amuse­ ments, as we used to have some time ago? Our Aid Society (Cemetery Aid we mean) what has become of it? Are we going to f3rge< the dear de4 parted in less than two years? Are we to allow weeds and grass to grow and cover over another year as it has the past? For a contrast look at the Orouuds west of town. It was kept in nice shape all summer. True it is small but how many were there to care for for it? Most of the work was done by three or four families living close by. If dur Cemetery is to be allowed to run down It is too bad. Any person with a good sound mind knows that strangers judge a community by the looks of their door yards. Why can­ not the saqie be applied to our burying grouud as well. As our farmers are still I llttie anxious about hog|cholera one can hear the inqulryjat almost any time, what is good for it? Our "String Band" Is improving a great deal and oan be heard playing some very good pieces. Tbe Brass Band are doing N». work under the direction of Mr* Cuiteridge, of Lake Geneva. Meetings have been held for about three weeks at the M. E*. Church but as no one seems Inclined to seek the Savior it is thought best to discon­ tinue the same for the present. Frank Carr and James Green have formed a Co-partnership' under tbe name of Carr & Green fer the purpose of buying all kinds of produce the farmer may wish to sell. Though young in the business we wish them tho success that the older ones have had. Please remember if you have anything to sell send them word, and Jim will be around on short nottoe. • ' 5 XVkb-t: . K& X < SS i *'i m ' •* mwm DAY, DEC. SI, 1886.
