MM WIlJNESDAY. JUNE 1, 1892. VAN SLYKE, To the Young Men of Illinol* - Jndson Starr, of Peoria, has addressed throbgh the Transcript of that city, the fallowing to the young men of this State: "Your ticket has just been nominated fit Springfield by the Republican party. But as much as yon admire patriotism and pluck, and the man who makes his own way, you must admire "Private Joe," Willits, Hertz, Prince and Yates. Selfmade, plucky, manly young men «n*pry one. Not only is the soldier there bat the stuff heroes are made of is there. Let as rally to the standard of the party that gives as such men. Every business young man, every working young man, young man on the farm, every young man having a family or expecting to kave one should know what every young man in the factory does know, that low wages is the first cousin of no wages, and high wnges the father of prosperity. The Republican party acts on this belief and makes success to the young man not only a possibility but a reality. Already the "boodle" of Atgeld and the trickery of Mike McDonald are arrayed against this patriotism and this pluck in this state. Let us awake and organize to re­ pel the presumption of the Demoracy! To repel this open insult to manliness and independence! Let as assert that the foundation of the later growth of young America is, like the first, in com­ mon honesty and a fair, show.for fair HP* Outrages at West Point are report­ ed again. It appears that one Jacob Broatch has been compelled to resign his cadetship on account of his hard treat­ ment of the upper classmen. Having re­ fused, as he ought, to be a menial to the . more advanced cadets, he was compelled to fight with a picked bully of their nnmber and knocked senseless. One would think that his pluck and willing­ ness to fight for his rights against odds would have won respect and relieved him from further persecution, bat after two weeks in the hospital, when he rejoined his mates, the persecution was resumed and he was compelled to sit down on a bayonet point and submit to other indignties and they are surprised that he should takeexceptions to such littlepleas- antriee. If such is the education of an "officer and a gentleman," God save the mark! In all other colleges these relics of barbarism in hazing are giving way to a higher civilization. Save only by these youngsters who are bang ed­ ucated at national expense to be officers and gentlemen are these brutalities prac­ ticed. Congressman Hoi man was entire­ ly wrong in cutting down the appropria­ tion for soap at West Point. A general cleaning out is needed there aD da cleaning lip of morals. There is evidently material there that can never be made into real gentlemen, having not the birth or breed - ' ing to go on. Such, who exhibit their bad blood in such acts as noted, should be dismissed. The nation cannot afford to expend money on veneering bullies into semblance of officers and gentlemen. it ml': Weit Point Cadetship Notice is hereby given that a competi­ tive examination for the selection of a Cadet to est Point, from the Fifth Con­ gressional District, will be held at the Court House at Geneva, Kane county, on Wednesday, the fifteenth day of June, 1892, commencing at ten o'clock, a. m. !

R. 42 # i " The repatollbiii party has been to con* trol of the stalls government of • Illinois --that is, the chief executive of the state has been a republican--since 1856, when William II. Bissell, the first can­ didate of the party, was elected gov­ ernor by a plurality of votes over Wil­ liam A. Richardson, the candidate on the democratic ticket, of five thousand. 'Buckner S. Morris, the candidate on the "know-nothing" ticket, received something over nineteen thousand votes, so that, while the republican party did not elect its first candidate by a clear majority, it elected its candidate just the same, and the office of gov­ ernor of Illinois has been filled by a republican ever since, with this exception, perhaps, that in 1873, the closing year of John M. Palmer's administration, he can hardly be said to have been a good republican; but that is neither here nor there. He was elected as a republican and the repub­ lican party is responsible for his ad­ ministration. Bissell filled the office for three years, when he died and was succeeded by the old patriot John Wood, of Quincy, who had been elected lieutenant governor on the same ticket with Bissell, Hatch and Dubois. For forty years, then, the twelfth day of J auurnj iACAt#* uio icpuuliutta poi'vj will have been in undisturbed posses­ sion of the office of governor of this state.. From Bissell to Fifer the men who have filled the office and dis­ charged its duties stand without blame or reproach before the people who by their suffrage elected them to office. Within a few months the same two parties which contested the election forty years ago will go before the peo­ ple of the state and nation with their candidates asking again their suf­ frages. The republican party presents a record of forty years' service absolutely untarnished, with every pledge of party principle and policy fulfilled. The young men of the state, with the bright intelligence characteristic of the day and generation in which they live, due mainly to the progressive ideas and lib­ eral policy of the republican party, are invited to examine the record thus pre­ sented and compare it with that of the democratic party which is also asking for their votes, presumably. upon its record. It is not pleasant to direct attention to the last democratic administration in Illinois, but such as it is, it is part of the record of the democratic party in this state, and the legacy left to the people when it went out of office. Jan­ uary 10, 1853, Joel A. Matteson, the last democratic governor elected in Illinois, took the oath of office and entered upon the discharge of its duties. That he was an honest man when elected and when he assumed the duties of the office is not questioned. But he also was "a democrat" surrounded by the influences and morals which possess and actuate the demo­ cratic party. As governor he became invested with the honors and responsi­ bilities of the office and was charged with a great public trust. How disi he fulfill that trust? Was he weaker than other democrats would have been simi­ larly situated? Certainly not. Matte- son was of stronger character and sturdier honesty than the average dem­ ocrat. Temptation beset him and he felL Why? Because he had been edu­ cated a democrat, was a graduate of that school and, unconsciously perhaps, had imbibed the theory, which only awaited an opportunity to practice it, that a public trust means an opportunity for public plunder. When Matteson became governor the state debt was the largest in its history. The outstanding indebtedness as given in his own inaugural address was near­ ly seventeen million dollars, but unmindful of this burden upon the people who had elected him to the office of governor and in violation of the trust imposed he fraudulently caused to be re­ issued over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of state securi­ ties and appropriated the proceeds to his own private use. This is known as the "Canal scrip fraud," and is familiar to all who are well informed upon the political history of the state, and need not be repeated here. But for the information of the young voter who is anxious to cast his lot and his vote with the party most deserving of his confidence and respect, it may be stated that both records are open to his inspection and he has only to inquire tolbe convinced that the record of the republican party is without stain, while that of the democratic party is blotted with the foul crime of public dishonor. It may be said that all democrats or an­ other democrat in office would not have violated his trust as Matteson did. Pos­ sibly. But will it be said that any democrat of to-day stands higher in the confidence of his party than Matteson did in 1852? No democrat can or will say that! And no man can say what a democrat in office will do. Gov. Matteson virtually confessed guilt of the fraud by addressing a let­ ter to the committee of investigation in 1859, offering to indemnity the state against loss for all bonds issued to him in exchange for scrip presented for re­ demption. The matter was compro­ mised by Gov. Matteson executing a mortgage to the state upon his property situated in Adams, Lasalle, Will, San­ gamon and other counties in Illinois. This mortgage was foreclosed in the Sangamon county circuit and judgment rendered for $255,500. The sale of the property to satisfy the judgment took place at the courthouse in the city of Springfield April 37, 1864. The sale realized the sum of $238,000, leaving a deficit of $27,500. The state was* the largest purchaser at the sale and a good deal of the property purchased by the state remains unsold to this day. The matter was brought to the attention of the grand jury of Sangamon county •in the spring of 1859. Twice the jury determined to bring ' Ajt a true bill of indictment | and twice the motion was re­ considered; finally by a vote of ten to twelve the bill was refused and the matter dropped. What influences were brought to bear upon the grand jurors to induce them to change their previous vote may not be told but can easily be imagined. Five of the grand jurors changed their votes from aye to no after several days' wavering. The ex-gover­ nor had strong political and social friends who were determined to save him the disgrace of a criminal trial at any cost. This is too long and too sad a story to tell in detail Young man! before de­ ciding for which party you will east your vote study well the history of the •republican and democratic parties in this state and the nation. 1* mind* * Bcwtotfta Matt* . To 'the snii&ai&Q democrat' who att> swers the question at the head of this article in the affirmative we desire to offer a word of caution, and to the despondent republican who fears the answer m«\y be correct we desire to of­ fer a word of encouragement. The ap­ proaching political campaign in tho state and the nation is not unlike that of 1864. Under the depressing effects of President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation the republicans in No­ vember, 1862, met a Waterloo similar to that of 1890 under the effects of the Me- Kinley tariff bill. In 1862 Alexander Starne, democratic candidate for state treasurer, carried Illinois by 16,666 ma­ jority over William Butler, who had been elected in 1860 by a plurality of nearly 13,000 and a clear majority of nearly 7,000. John P. Brooks, dem­ ocratic candidate for superintendent of public instruction, defeated New­ ton Bate man, the republican can­ didate, by 16,000 majority against a plurality of 18,000 for Bateman in 1860. James C. Allen, democrat, beat Eben C. IngersoU, republican, for con­ gressman at large by 16,438. The delega­ tion in congress from Illinois stood nine democrats to five republicans. Owen Lovejoy in the Bureau county district pulled through by 800 majority. John Ti Gbcwai iu tub wyiiug iiuiu uiflbii' 5 beat Leonard Swett 1,400 votes. L., W Ross, democrat, in the Peoria district, had no opposition. "Tony" Xnapp, in the Tenth district, beat Sam Moulton, republican candidate, nearly 7,000 votes. "Jim" Robinson, democrat, in the Eleventh district, beat Stephen" Hicks, his republican opponent, over 8,000 votes. In the Twelfth district "Bill" Morrison, democrat, beat Robert Smith, republican, 5,000 votes. In the Thir­ teenth district "Josh" Allen, with his butternut garments and buttons, beat his republican Opponent over 5,000 votes. The house of representatives was democratic by thirty majority. Of the fifteen senators elected nine were dem­ ocrats and six were republicans. The senate was democratic by one Majority. These were some of the results of the election in Illinois in 1863. In other states the results were no better. New York gave Seymour, democrat, for gov­ ernor, a majority of over ten thousand.' Pennsylvania went democratic on the state ticket, elected a majority of demo­ crats to congress and elected a demo­ cratic legislature, which elected a dem­ ocrat to the United States senate. Ohio went democratic on the state ticket, and the republicans only elected two out of sixteen members to congress. Indiana elected the democratic state ticket by nearly ten thousand majority, and the republicans had four congress­ men out of eleven, and so it went throughout the country. The demo­ crats were elated and the republicans were correspondingly depressed. Those who can remember the na­ tional democratic ' 'peace-at-any-price" convention which met in Chicago in the summer of 1864, will remember the confidence with which the democratic party put up its candidates and its platform for the campaign of that year. Flushed with the victory^ of 1863, suc­ cess, they thought, in 1864 was as­ sured. What was the result? Lincoln's triumphant election and victory for the republicans everywhere. In Illinois the "copperhead" de­ mocracy was smashed flat beneath an avalanche of republican votes. The state was swept, by the republicans with the resistless power of a tornado. Lincoln carried the state with 80,795 majority. Oglesby, for governor, had a majority of 31,675. Bateman, who had been beaten in 1863 by 16,000 votes, had a majority of 31,503, a gain of over 47,000 votes in two years. "Sam" Moulton turned the tables on "Jim" Allen by beating him 31,443 for con­ gressman at large. The republicans elected twelve of the fourteen congress­ men, .L. W. Ross in the Peoria district and Sam Marshall in the Mount Ver­ non district being the only democrats who pulled through. "Josh" Allen, in the Cairo district, was beaten 1,000 votes by Maj KuyKendall against a major­ ity for Allen in 1862 of over 5,000 votes. In the general assembly tbe senate stood 14 republicans to 11 democrats. The house had 50 republican members to 35 for the democrats. The event of the session was the ratification, on Feb­ ruary 1, of the 13th amendment to the constitution of the United States abol­ ishing slavery. Lincoln and his proc­ lamation of freedom to tbe slaves were vindicated as the result of the election in 1864. The McKinley tariff law and the pro­ tection policy of the republican party will just as surely be vindicated and confirmed at the election in 1893 as right is certain to triumph over wrong, as truth is certain to prevail over false­ hood and misrepresentation. Let no "side issue" mislead us. Let no unwise counsel confuse republicans. Let no personal interests and selfish motives stand in the way of party success. Let no local temporary expedients pre­ vail as against lasting benefits and per­ manent results. Prices of Farm Implements.
