For State Treasurer--Edward Rnta, «f Cook eonnty. For Atfern^r General--Hon.

The names thereon are men all well and favorably known throughout the State, most of whom have heretofore occupied posi tions of honor and trust. The Inter-Ocean, in speskin* 'of tlie picket says: "The candidates on the lie publican State ticket are well dis tributed as to locality, representative H to party spirit and sentiment, and ^exceptionable as to character and re putation. There are on the ticket Ave •K-8oldi«rs, excellent material for- a tawipmign in which the Republicans In the national struggle are to be led by General ̂ Grant. Two of these ex- •oldiers are representative IGtrman -Republicans, as well as stalwarts, and their nomination was at once a re cognition of the claims of two very Important elements contributing to party strength." & With snch a ticket Illinois will be ':'fnre to swing Into line with one of hor d fashioned Republican majorities. THR STATR COSVKHTIOS. The State Convention which wag >ld la Springfield last week proved be one of the most exciting ones ver held in the State, and resulted in Ijelectiug forty-two delegates who #«re Instructed to veto as a unit. In |he National Convention, for Gen. IT 8. Grant, as candidate for President of the United States. General Grant being a citizen of Illinois and a can didate, to hare done otherwise wonld have been a disgrace to the State. nomination at Chicago next week iiow seems to be a foregone conclusion, flut whether he is nominated or not, 4ll good Republicans should stand by tfhe action of that Convention. After 4he Convention all personal preference Should be thrown aside, and principles net men. 6heuld be the motto. And we believe it will be. With this feei ng in the bosom of every Republican, hen November comes around they will roll up snch a majority for the I *?pnblican nominee as will put out of I . the question all 7x8 Commissions. | * «ov.

Editors must stay and "stick it •ut." Editors can't move their studios to tlie mountains or breezy seaside. Editors must get their inspiration at the eld desk the year round. News papers never close their pulpits. Wouldn't It be ridiculous to propose vacating a newspaper pulpit for two or three months during tlie warm season, and sending the staff to Europe or Long Branch to cure their bronchi tis? Newspaper men are like cooks. They must broil at the fnrnaoe the year round. And with all this, the . poor devils are expected to please §| every body. WSTSome one remarked of the Coun ty Convention last Saturday, that it was a three-men Convention. It didn't |rise to that dignity. It was a one man Convention--a man about the .Jcaliber of J. M. Southworth.--Marengo * ^Republican. ' And of mighty small caliber too. f?;; ,'aCheek not brains is his stock in trade. 'The "Chicago Jockey and Trot ting Club.*' of which J. H.

The Congressional duestion Among Our Exchanges* An Elgin correspondent of the fSbii- cago Inter ( cean says that S. S. Mann of that city, who does business In Chicago. Is growing In favor as a can didate for Congress, and that he is particularly in favor with the dairy men- In fact it seems from the com munication that Mr. Mann it placing his dependence on the butter interests for a nomination, and all because he is In favor of a law restricting the sale of oleomargerine! This la too thin, ft is entirely too thin. In tlio first place, Chicago has already three mem bers in Congress, and is not entitled to have the franchises of the Fourth Dis trict transferred to It through one of its Water Street commission mer chants. In the next place, by acquain tance and experience Mr. Slierwin Is eminently better fitted than is Mr. Mann to procure legislation for the dairymen, and Is quite as much in sympathy with iliem. Oleomargerine Isn't strong enough yet to carry Mr. Mann into Congress; nor are the farm ers so simple as to bite at tlie greasy bait which the Elgin correspondent puts op his hook. Mr. Jjfann is good at business, may be very acute at putting in political work, but he doesn't belong in Congress one minute--nor will all the butter In this Fourth District, grease the way to slide him In. Instead of all this silly talk about "popular enthusiasm," "oleomargerine '•steady, persistent work," etc., why don't the men pushing Mr. Mann's can didacy give their true reason, which is only this: "We cannot manage Mr. Shcrwin in our own personal interests." --Aurora Beacon. The people of Winnebago Connty, and particularly the manufacturers of Roskford, are much pleased with the efficiency manifested by Mr. Slierwin in obtaining the appropriation for the benefit of the water power of Rock River. They seem to think it a piece of practical work which will outweigh many of those speeches which Mr. Sherwin's enemies blame him for not delivering. Anent this action the Rockferd Newt says: At onr late County Convention, it was held that the delegates should be Instructed for Cullom because he hon ored our county with a visit during the fair last fall. Mr,Sherwin, at the request of our large manufacturers, prominent business men and mechanics R?ked and received from the govern ment the above appropriation, which, if riglitiy expended, will prove a ben efit to Reckford and Winnebago coun ty as long as tlie city stands and the river runs. He has been an honor to the "old Fourth District,'1 has been an incessant, worker for the constituency he represents. Business men, mechan ics, and all our citizens should consult the good, not only of our county, but of the entire district bv insisting upon bis return to the next Congress. [From the Malta Mail. It is said that there has been a com bination formed by uniting Winneba go, Boone and McHenry Counties for the purposes of defeating John C. Sherwin for Congress, and putting S. S. Mann, of Elgin, in his place. That card will fall to connect, as that com bination is too large by at least one county. McHenry is always found dealing on the square, and takes no great amount of stock ia any sf the manipulating schemes of Steve. Hurlburt. Kane and DeKalb counties will have something to say before that contract is consummated. Would it not look better if Mr. Mann had a little trading stock to commence with? We always supposed that it was necessary for a candidate for any office to have the support ot his own county, before he could enter successfully In any of these political deals. It l» rather nec essary to have something to deliver before a trade of this kind can be made. Kane and DeKalb couutics will glye their vote to return the Hort. John C. Sherwin--and don't yon forget it. "F. O. W.." the Aurora correspond ent of the Reehelle hegister, is a very emphatic advocate of the re-clection of John C. Sherwin to Congress. In bis last letter he pays his compliments to one of Mr.Sherwins most prominent opponents as follows: Hon. J. H. Mayborne, of Geneva, seems to be using his best endeavors to defeat Hon John C. Sherwin for Congrt-se, for reasons of r. personal na ture. and bv so doing is making many enemies. How futile his efforts are will be shown when the nominating convention is held. Mr. Mayborne is a candidate for re-election to the Senate, but his continued hostility to the In teiestn of Elgin and Aurora, together with liis tight against Mr. Slierwin. will bury him out of sight. Mr. Sher win is strorger in Kane County to-day than he ever was, ami his nomination is a dead certainty, so far as Kane can have a voice iu the matter. Congressman Sherwin seems to be the favorite as a candidate for Con gress in this District. Numerous ex changes have already declared them selves in favor of his return. His rec ord has been such as to defy rebuke, and It Is Only simple justice to hU ability and integrity that he be re turned.-- Bockford News.

My health having become im paired to that extent that I am unable to attend to my business, I have decided to dispose of my property in Ringwood, consisting of my store, 40 by 50 feet, one half of which is two stories high, upper story finished off conveni ent for a small family, the lower story being designed expressly for a stock of General Merchan dise, such as is usually kept in a Country Store, witlj Office and Post Office in center of jjone end. Also the Btilldin? known as the Merchant Store, and one Lot. Also my Dwelling House and Barn and 8V acres of'very choice land, on which there is an abundance of Fruit, such as Apples, Pears, Cherries and Grapes. All of the above property is situated within live minutes walk of the Ringwood Station, on the Fox River Branch of the C. & N. W. II.It., in one of the pleasantest country towns in Illinois. No better opportunity can be found in Illinois for any business man who would be satisfied to do a business of 912,000 to $15,000 a year, as the people are all white people, ne/iriy sll farmers of the thrifty class, able and willing to buy what they need and pay tor it, and no other Store nearer than four miles distant; thus affording a Rood business man, who is willing to deal fairly, an exccllentopportuni- ty. I will offer any party who may wish to pur. chaie any of the above property snch in- ducements as no real business man, who might wish to engage in the Mercantile business, would decline ao avail himself of, as I me"»n what I say when I say I am deter, mined to dispose of the above property either with or withont my stock of Goods, at the earliest opportunity, and at such prices as will sell them. In the mean time will make such prices on our present Stock of Goods as will be an inducement to those who may need anything in my line. J. W. CRISTY. From the Sturgls. Michigan.
