ISP"It is reported that Judge Gresham recently said: "When Bob Ingersoll be­ comes a Christian and Ben Butler for­ gives his enemies, I will consider the mat­ ter of accepting a nomination on other than the republican ticket." What will the peoples' party say to that? TWO COMGRMSBS. Ex-$pf?aker tenrcnta the republi­ can lack of power to nee Vituperative speech in comparison with their democra­ tic opponents. For instance, the rage of the democrats over the "billion dollar congress," the fierce invectives they hurled against such extravagance, the pictures they painted of the disastrous effects of such goverment, compared with the mild ridicule of the republicans of a democratic congress which has far exceed­ ed the appropriations of the republican congress and accomplished nothing with the expenditure of more money. Had the position been reversed, Mr. Reed thinks the democrats would have given an exhibition of lurid word painting in describing the danger of the situation be­ side which all previous efforts appear tame. The fact is the republian party recognizes this as a billion dollar country and if money is honestly and wisely ex­ pended do not criticise or try to make party capital out of a large expenditure. The criticism against the democratic house is that it has not been sincere. It condemned republican extravagance in expending large sums on a new navy, on improved ocean service, on well-deserved pensions for veterans of the war, and now exceeds the amount by 150,000,000, an increase absorbed in the river and harbor bill, where fully that amount is expended in useless public works, created simply to make infl uence for each congress man in his district, and passed, not by merit, but by log-rolling methods. In the republican congress every dollar appropriated counted for the general welfare. It is certainly for the welfare ot the nation that it should be established that this republic is not ungrateful to those who saved it. It is not a matter to be measured in dollars and cents. To say this government pays out more in pen­ sions than it costs to sustain the stand­ ing army of Germany is not to our dis­ credit. It is better to keep the faith with those who have fought and thereby give a guaranty to those who may be called upon to fight, than to maintain a great standing army. There is more security in it. In the knowledge of what the na­ tion has done there would be no trouble whatever in raising a great army any time the nation is in peril and needs it. The silent, unorganized, great army is always ready at the country's call be­ cause the country has kept faith with its defenders. It was certainly for the general welfare to restore American commerce and to create a navy to protect it and to guard the honor of the flag. And the measures giving bounties to sugar production, in opening new markets, in subsidizing ocean steamship lines to create a com­ merce with South American states are all profitable investments. There was nothing in them to give a color of excuse to the Democratic Congress for passing the largest river and harbor bill ever presented. On the whole, Mr. Reed is justified in his laments that the republi­ can party lacks capacity to character­ ize the democratic house of representa­ tives as it deserves and as it would have been spoken of by democratic opponents had conditions been reversed. I9F The Chicago Herald gleefully cries that the tin plate industry in the United States is a miserable failure and there has not been a pound of pig tin mined. A Hampshire man recently wrote to the postmaster at Temescal, Cal., to find out whether there was any truth in the Herald's statements. Monday he re­ ceived an answer in which the Temescal postmaster says there are 150 men em­ ployed is the tin mines there and that tfee output of the mines is from 20 to 25 tons of pig tin per day. IV General E. O. Beers, of Elmira. N, Y., hag addressed an open letter to the veterans of the Union army giving his reasons for declining to support Grover Cleveland. General Beers served during the war as a Captain and Major and was prevetted Lieutenant Colonel. After the war he organized the thirtieth seperate oompany at Elmira and was promoted to a Brigadier General in the National Goard. After reviewing Mr. Cleveland's war record, or lack of war record, Gen­ eral Beers concludes: I have arrived at the age of three score years, was brought up in the democratic faith and have been a life long democrat. Bnt it seems plain to me that with the past record of Grover Cleveland, if any veterans casts his ballot for hira he not only stultifies himself but goes back up­ on every comrade of the Union army. t r 5K i. m a. I While the Chicago Herald was at­ tempting to reason with its party about tfce folly of putting up socialist Altgeld lor governor it told the plain truth •bout some things which the people of Illinois will have time to think over. One Hi its reasons was the following, which is •aid not by a Republican journal but by «pe of Altgeld's own party: _ "What do the democratic voters of Illinois think of a candidate for gover- •or of the state who, while occupying a judicial position in Cook county, appear­ ed in the court of another judge, in the Capacity of litigant and attorney, and so conducted himself that he was rebuked t>y the courts compelled to apologize to the opposing lawyer and was fined for Contempt. Does the foregoing indicate the character and temperament of a man Suitable to be the chief executive of a great 4ommoti wealth? Half Bates to Portland.

A few days ago I came in contact with a gentleman from Missouri, who was a lawyer and a man of large * information. He said he was born a democrat and al­ ways voted that ticket, but that this fall he should vote for Harrison and Reid, and believed he had become a republican for life. I asked him what had come over his political horoscope to cause so sudden a change in his views. He replied that a few weeks ago, he had a son about 18 years old appointed p. leading dis­ putant in a lyceum debate which in­ volved the relative merits and achieve­ ments of the two leading parties during the past thirty years. The young man was to advocate the democratic side and asked his father to give him some point­ ers which he could work up in his discus­ sion and the father told him he would gladly jot them down for that purpose. "But," said the lawyer, "when I sat down with pen and paper to write' up something good for the boy, 1 declare I was unable to remember anything the democratic party has done or advocated in the last thirty years that its members do not now deny or are not generally ashamed of and but few of the doctrines they are now advocating, of free coinage and free trade but they will be equally ashamed of before long, and will deny that they ever advocated debased money or opposed high wages and American in- dustriesfand when I looked the conduct of my party honestly and squarely in the face, I had to go back op it out of self- respect, and I believe' half the party would do the same thing if their boys should get them in such a corner as mine did me." These remarks of my former democratic friend struck me with great force tie worth heeding. The northern democracy is simply a tail to the kite of the solid South, made solid by a negro supremacy, which will never occur, and which no white man, republican or democrat, wishes to see oc­ cur. If that bugbear could be removed, and the intelligent democrats would study their record a little, they would soon be so ashamed of it that the party would fall in pieces, unless, indeed, the '"cohesive power of public plunder" should still make its heterogeneous parts ad­ here.--D.

Wauconda, 111.• July 29th, 1892. MM Pithy, Pointed end Pertinent. Gov. Itussel of Massachusetts, is even more conceited than Mr. Cleveland, if such a thing is possible. He said the other day, according to, newspapers friendly to him, that it was only *'for Cleveland's sake" that he was willing to again accept the nomination for gover­ nor. He seems to think that because be has been elected governor in the "off years" he can carry the state for Cleve­ land. Poor fellow. He will learn ere long how Humpty Durapty, of Mother Goose fame, felt when overtaken-by that fatal accident. Southern Democrats $re trying to study out the difference between that so called "force bill" and the statemeut re­ cently made by Weaver's side partner on the peoples' party ticket, that his party believed in allowing every man to vote as he pleased, and intended to see that the votes are counted as they are cast. There is no difference; the opposition to the Federal election bill is in reality op­ position to a free ballot and a fair count. Let no man try to fool himself or his neighbor as to the greatest and most important issue now before the people-- the tariff; if you believe in free trade and low prices, for your own as well as for the other fellow's labor, vote the demo­ cratic ticket; if you believe in protection, reciprocity and good pay for every American laborer, which necessarily makes good prices for all American pro­ ducts, vote the republican ticket. It is for you to choose between the two poli­ cies; there is no middle course. When Adlai goes stumping in North Carolina he would better keep ont of the mountains: the mountaineers have no love for copper-heads. It is very interesting to read that the appeal of the North Carolina democrats to their national committee for help has covered the cuticle of members of that committee with a cold sweat; bnt it is just as well to go slow in counting North Carolina in the republican column. A few more "victories" like that in Alabama and the democratic party of the once "solid south" will have gone to join the "has "Thp-Wtwid dp move." Henry Watter- son BOW says that Abraham Lincoln was Inspired of God. Yes, it is probably true that Benjamin Harrison does at times get down on all fours and Dlay with his grandchildren; he also makes a pratice of getting "down on all fours" with the common sense of the country whenever there is an impor­ tant question to decide, fliis habit of getting "down on all fours" is commend­ able in any public man, or any other sort of a man; it is way ahead of the get­ ting on stilts system, common with men of weak brain. Judge Gresham's denial of the absurd rumor that he intended taking the stump for the calamity wailers was superfluous. Mr. Cleveland does not object to the negro as a voter, so long as he votes the democratic ticket. A New York girl has bden living on nine cents a day. She must have been training herself down to a free trade basis. If the weather is favorable It will be The Best one Ever Held In the County. Frank Leslie's Popular monthly For September. The political kaleidoscope of Central and South America is continually chang­ ing, and probably few even of the best 'posted" readers could name offhand the actual Presidents of the various Latin- American republics.

During the epidemic of the flux in this country in 1888, I had hard work to keep a supply of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand. People often came ten or twelve miles in the night to get a bottle of the remedy. I have been selling patent medicines for the past ten years and find that it has given better satisfaction in cases of diar­ rhea and flux than any other medicine I have ever handled.--J. H. Benh'am, druggist, Golconda, Pope Co., 111. Over five hundred bottles of this Remedy were sold in that county during the epidemic referred to. It was a perfect success and was the only remedy that did cure the worst cases. Dozens of persons there will certify that it saved their live". In four other epidemics of bowel complaint this remedy has been equally successful. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by G. W. Besley, West McHenry, I. A. Barrus, Volo and L. N. Fenne, Wauconda.
