We find the "following complimentary mention from a few of^ our brethren of the press, which we cannot refrain from reproducing here; The last nutober of the McHenry PLAINDEALER finished the 21st year of of that sheet. It is a comely, clean Re­ publican sheet.--Iiolvidere Standard, With its issue of last-week theMcHenry PLAINDEALER closed its twenty-first year of successful publication. May it con­ tinue to grow and prosper for twenty- one years more under its present efficient management.--Antioch A ems.

We hope this will be true and that Mr. Van Slyke will be yielding the pen vigorously then as now;--Marengo News. "With last week's issue, our McHenry neighbor, the PLAINDEALER, opened a new volume--the twenfcy-second. Bro.

If this statement is cor­ rect:, it does not follow that mortgagors ere unable to pay them. It is a common practice to allow mortgages to'run after they have matured. Mortgagors fre­ quently find that they can use their inon§y to better ad vantage than by pay­ ing this kind of debts, aud the holders are glad to let them stand, if the security is good. Rut what would be the result with these mortgages should free silver tri­ umph at the polls in November? Unless these liens are expressly payable in gold, as few of them are, the owner would in­ stantly attempt to foreclose them, in or­ der to forestall the era of fifty-cent dol­ lars. The distress that would follow such wholesale foreclosure of mortgages would be terrible. Farmers, whose property is incumber­ ed, would do well to study the free silver question carefully before committing themselves to it. Instead of being en­ abled by fiat silver dollars to scale down their indebtedness, many of them would find their farms in the possession of the sheriff. Will Lower the Pensions.

DaT A large number of prominent Dem­ ocrats, some members of the recent Pop­ ulist-Democratic convention in Chicago, are talking very freely of that, sensation­ al gathering. John P. Irish, of Oakland, ral., naval officer at the port of San Francisco, formerly one of Iowa's lead­ ing Democrats aud at one time a mem­ ber of the legislature in that state, re­ lieves his mind by the utterance of the following vigorous language: The platform at every point antago­ nizes every principle held by Democracy since 1801. It is a league with larceny and a covenant with murder. Jefferson's precepts concerning a ratio and a stan­ dard were ignored at Chicago, and the party he founded was strumpeted to by as corrupt and criminal a combination as ever robbed a stage. The candidate is A raw man, who has achieved nothing in private or public life to fit him for the Presidency, a man who won his reputa­ tion delivering orations at county fairs and Populist picnics. 1 will not support the platform nor the candidate, because I am a Democrat, not a dynamiter.
