In the last week's Harvard papers we fta4 a cohmn article signed by A. W. Young, of that village, in which, in his wptlouaneae to support a pet candidate for the office of County Jndge, and at the same time vent a little of his Cana­ dian spite, he simply makes an ass of himself. In all political contests it is the privilege and duty of every man to eap- ptort his Mends earnestly, and no one has tbe right to question his choice of candi­ dates, but for a man like A. W. Young, a ' recent alien, and one who has been held up by public office almost from tbe day of ibis naturalization, to attempt to de­ fame the character of a young man who fit to aspire to an office in his native county, and that, too, by infamous lies . and dirty slurs, shows but his low Cana­ dian instincts, and merits for him the contempt of all true Republicans, and Wffl be no benefit to the candidate whose cause he espouses. ' From the language of this alien office scieker one would naturally judge he con­ sidered it a crime to be the son of a vet­ eran and a temperance man, but we can Assure him his slurs in that respect will have no weight with the Republican vot­ ers, who, unlike Mr. Young, can give a man the credit his due, although they may not support him for the office he seeks. Pot-house politicians may be in­ fluenced by such slush and spite, coming from one of their kind, but Mr. Young luts forgotten that he is not in Canada, and his labored column *>f dirt will fall flat on his own head. * ;As regards Mr. Barnes running on the Prohibition or third party ticket, the following from the Woodstock Sentinel ot October 30.1884, will explain itself: .While l am in favor of prohibition, I wiflli the people of McHenry county to know that I am not a candidate for State's Attorney on the Prohibition ticket. I was not consulted before my nomination, and since that time 1 have told the editor of the Prohibition organ not to put my name on the ticket. 1 am • opposed to the third party movement and think there are various reasons why all those who think only of Prohibition 1 should vote for Blaine, Logan, and "Honest Old Dick" Oglesby. . C. P. BARNES. tye have been led to make these re­ marks from a spirit of fairness, not from a desire to influence in favor of any can­ didate for any office. The coming Coun­ ty Convention will be composed of men able and competent to decide whom they wish to honor with the different nomina­ tions, and we believe they will make no mistakes, and if Young's candidate should flud himself defeated in the Con­ vention; he could well say, "Oh, Lord, •ave me froii| my fool Canadian friend." f OVB TBAB TTKDIB OOV. WFWfc. (Governor Fifer has held the reins of State administration a little over a year, and it is certainly gratifying to his friends to know that, while he has in every instance discharged his duties as Governor with a single eye to the welfare of tbe entire State, those who were honestly inclined to question the feasibility of his nomination have become his most hearty endorsers and in many instances his admirers. Being a modest, unobtrusive, retiring man in private life, he could not be expected to have been as known throughout the great State of Illinois as the blustering politicians who had made politics their study, and political preferment their ambition, for a quarter of a century, but the earnest rec­ ommendation and endorsement of friends and neighbors, where he was best known, was not in error, and subsequent events go to show that it was not misplaced. To fill the office of Governor well and sat­ isfactorily in a large State, with so many diversified interests as Illinois, is a task which calls for the highest executive abil­ ity, and this Gov. Fifer has shown thus far in all of his acts as chief magistrate. That he will continue to discharge that duty with the same distinguished ability as heretofore shown during his adminis­ tration, looking ever to the best interests of the whole people, no one now doubts, and his conduct of public affairs will go on record as among the most satisfactory if not the most brilliant in the history of the State. From the many merited com­ plimentary references to the Governor, we clip the following from the Quincy Whig of recent date: About one year has elapsed since "Pri­ vate Joe"'took up the helm of State in his untried hands, and the people have now had an opportunity to judge his qualifications as governor of the great State of Illinois. Among those who did not know him well there may have been doubts entertained whether he would prove fully equal to the demand upon his capacity and executive ability, but the history of his administration, as time passed on, has shown that such doubts were not justified. Gov. Fifer lias developed and grown stronger as the claims upon his mastery of the State affairs were manifested. Ex­ perience and familiarity with his duties have steadied and matured him, and when the occasion has brought his high position into prominence, he has done full justice to it A keen observer of public men recently said: "I did not think there was the ma­ terial in Joe Fifer that he has displayed of late. That he might make a governor of average ability was conceded, but he promises to take rank with the very best of them. He has certainly handled some grave public questions with most excel­ lent judgment.'" That Mr. Fifer was not rated higher up as a public man is due no doubt to the fact that he never forced himself conspic­ uously into general notice--that he was naturally quiet and retfring, and was satisfied with the good will and approval of his neighbors. We are ail too apt to be caught by the glitter of the man who pushes himself into prominence, and to overlook those sterling qualities which are not thrust upon our attention. Few people understand what a difficult task it is to even fairly well administer the affairs of a great and populous State like Illinois. The complex and perplexing questions that are presented, the diver­ sity of interest to be met, the details that are to be mastered, all thrown upon his consideration in a daily variety of phase and feature that cannot easily be real ized. make the position of governor one requiring no ordinary executive talent. Three and one-half millions of people --occupying a territory reaching from near the line of Tennessee on the south, well up to the border of Minnesota on the north--with a vast development of busi­ ness interests in every department of in­ dustry--with competing enterprises on all sides--with trade and transportation --manufacturers and mining--stock rais­ ing and agriculture all crowding onward in the march of improvement--will natur­ ally bring forward innumerable new questions to be determined and opposing interests to be adjusted. The governor comes directly in contact with a great deal of this and it imposes upon him the nece-sity of a ready and accurate judg­ ment which only a clear-headed man can successfully meet. Add to these official duties and al^the routine work connected with the governmental machinery, the varied social demands upon his time, and we must admit that the bead of the State is encumbered with cares and responsi­ bilities that are not easily dealt with. That Gov. Fifer has done so well is as creditable to his capacity and fitness for the position as it is a satisfaction to the party which placed him in power and the friends that have stood faithfully by him. iWThe Eepublican L'ouuty Convention will be held at Woodstock on Tuesday next, thq 29th. There are so many can­ didates that we dare not even predict the outcome. That the Convention will make judicious nominations, and that their entire deliberations wj)l be for the beat interests of the people and the Re­ publican Party, and the outcome satis­ factory to the Republican! voters of the county, we have no reason to doubt. We patiently await the result. 0" The Springfield News says: "There is no soldier worthy of the name who is so wedded to the idea of an immediate asrviee pension bill that he will not be to see the dependent pension bill ifor the relief of the men who are un­ able to. earn their living and have no tbeans of support. It is said there are 20,000 men of this class in the poor houses. They cannot prove their disa­ bility was caused by service in the army, but they are disabled and they served in tbe &tmy. Take looses qaidt" oet of the poor Cronin may well rejoice that the County Board is trying to beat those two lawyers out of their pay. But all men who detest that hideous crime will view the attitude of the Commissioners with disgust. --America. St" M. W. Lake and Asad Udell have settled by lot their controversy for the Sheriff's office. Mr. Udell was successful in drawing the lucky lot and now this town will be united for him. Chemung township will go into the convention with twenty-two delegates, who will, un­ doubtedly, be instructed for him. Mr. Udell was Sheriff of this county from 1882 to 1886 and the record he then made is well known to the people of this county, of whom he now asks a re-nomi­ nation, which we trust he will receive. If good party service counts for aught, Mr. Udell IB entitled to the consideration at the hands of his party. If a soldier is to be giveu the office Mr. Udell can certainly ask lor it, for his record as a soldier is good. He is in every way qualified to perform the duties of the office and the Heraid cheerflly presents him as its choice for the office of Sheriff of McHenry Coun­ ty. His announcement can be found under tbe proper head in this paper. --Harvard Herald. KS* Hon. Isaac G. Wilson is seventy four years old, yet he is the most active of the three judges in this circuit and transacts more business than either other. He found the docket of this county clog­ ged with cases, and has brought order out of chaos. He has, like Gladstone or Bismark, years of usefulness yet before him, and can remain on the bench if he so desires.--Courier.

K3~By their refusal to pay to lawyers Mills and Ingham a reasonable fee for their services in helping to conduct the Cronin murder trial, the Cook co'inty commissioners hare made themselves eligible to honorary membeship in Camp 20. Anyone familiar with that trial will admit that without the aid of Mr. Ingham the state would have been in a sorry plight in its Struggle against mur­ der plots, treachery of the police, bribery by court bailiffs, and all the foul .forces of the Clan-na-Gael. Very likely Coughlin and O'Sullivan and Burke would now be at liberty if it had not been for his mag­ nificent work in the court room and else­ where.
