Avery for County Clerk, and we litre no doubt of bis nomination by acclamation when the Convention meets. And this is as it should be. He Js a faithful and efficient officer, and every delegation to the County Con- vention should give him their undivi­ ded support. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. The candidacy of W. P, Morse, of Nuoda, for the office of County Treasu rer, is meeting with favor in all parts of the county. His canvass for tbe office of Circuit Clerk two years ago pnade him many warm .friends, who will be only too glad to be able to aid Ihlm at this Lime. He is an honest, upright and capable business man, a staunch and reliable Republican, a Soldier *ho did bis whole dutylon the Ibattle field, and suffered the tortures of Andersonvllle prison, and we think Is justly entitled to consideration at ' the hands of the Republican voters of IteHeory county. Most KmphAtletttty Wet So finding that Capt. George Eckert Is bettering his chances each day by his straightforward and manly manner or making hi* canvass for the office o' Sherifl, certain parties who onght to be In better &f>8inees are endeavoring to I ljure Him by circulating the etory that he cannot carry his own town of Dorr. That he stands no show at home etc., etc. These facts come to us so straight from different parts of the .jounty that we deem it but right and just to Mr. Eckert to brand the attempt tv hurt him In this manner, as mesn and con tempt able, and originating from persona who know full well that there is not one particle of truth in the rumors set afloat. We can assure our readers that Capt. Eckert is sure or his own town. From all we can learn he Is solid at home, and that there is no opposition worthy of the name, to his candidacy In Woodstock and vicin­ ity. The little dodge these sneaking Individuals are trying to hatch will not work and we doubt not will cau e them and their friends no little anxiety ere the Convention adjourns. KKKP TU KM OCT. We have a law to prevent the land­ ing of foreign paupers In this country, and a law restricting Chinese emigra­ tion. Why not also a law keeping out foreign agitators, anarchists and socia­ lists f They are far greater evil than the Chinese, says an exchange, and as the laws now stand the public has no protection from these red flag assa«tns, but the penitentiry or the scaffold. Our statesmen say this discrimination against emigrants presents a difficult problem, and that we can hardly estab­ lish a court of inquisition at the cus­ tom house, but It will be strange in­ deed if a government which can array Its entire power against a handful of Chinese, has not also the power to pro­ tect itself from the enemies of social order. At any rate there Is one thing we can do as a starter. We can compel our foreign representatives abroad to exercise some control over emigration. They can get at the character and an­ tecedents of the undesirable cltss to a certain extent, add through their ef­ forts some restriction may be placed on emigration. The time has certain­ ly arrived when something should be done. f9*From a financial standpoint there has never been a strike that has paid. Early In the strike It was estl mated that 46,779 employes lost wages amounting to $3,711 097. This would be at tae rate of 957 each. As the eu- tire number of employes estimated was 228.738, the total lo-s of wages on this average would be 913,000.866. which would have been received had work9 run constantly. Of course there would be a number of ofisets to this, in case the strikenwere successful. Tbe additional wages would compensate for a portion of the loss. In other cases where unionism existed in the trades in which there were strikes, tbe men received strike pay or strike benefits, but the strike benefits were in most cases simply refunding money that had been previously paid by the men. In many cases the parties on strike secur ed employment in other industries, and hence ^heir actual loss would have earned at their old labor, minus what they did earn In a p resumably less profitable employment. These figures are based upon actual facts, and clearly demonstrate how dearly tbe labor has to pay in the end for the privilege of striking. So far m we h&e been able to Ittral Hon. A. J. Hopkins will receive tbe cordial support of the Republican par­ ty of the dlstrlst, both In the oonvett- tlon and out of it. The feeling amttng the Republicans throughout the dis­ trict Is almost universal that he Is the right man In the right plaoe. For a young member, he has taken unusual prominence in Congress, and his apt­ ness In getting a good understanding of Congressional procedure within set short a time Is quite unprecedented* He has brought to his duties the vigor of the prime of life, coupled with the encrgv. thoroughness and Rtudioufnees that placed him in the front ranks of legal profession. Add to tills his care­ fulness, freedom froin the bad habltih that Impair the services of so many, legislator, his personal integrity and ability, and there Is not a man in the: district who possesses more of the nat­ ural Qualifications of a good Congress- It is Impossible for a new member of Congress to do much more during hU first term, then familiarise himself with his duties and with the cumber­ some rules of Congress, and prepare himself for more effective work In future sessions of that body. Tbe first term is to be regarded rather as a pre- paritory school than as a test of a mem­ bers capacity. Yet, judged even by what he had done, Mr. Hopkins ought to be returned. His efforts in the in--, terests of the honest dairymen of the district, and against the bogus buttery manufacturers, should alone commend him to the hearty support of the farm­ ers. '1 hey may yet result In the pass­ age of a stringent anti-bntterinp bill by the present Congress. In the Hurd election contest, Mr, Hopkins was de­ signated by the committee on elections to present the legal points at Issue, and made one of the ablest speeches In the truggle that resulted In the seating of Rome's, (Republican), by a House In which the Democrats hare a majority, (n his votes on other questions, Mr. Hopkins has plainly had tbe Interests of the constituents at heart, and baa beeri found with those moderate Re* publicans who are opposed to ^extreme measures in either direction during a crisis such as the country Is now exper­ iencing. Those who would drive their representative to urge their owu ex­ treme and peculiar views at such a time, and who would vilify htm for not doing so. are very short sighted, to fay the leasr, and cannot be regirde& as safe exponents of public policy and opinion. From what Mr. Hopkins has been able to accomplish the short time be has been at Washington. It Is clear that he is the man to bring tbe Fifth district forward into the prominence It enjoyed In the days of Farnsworth and Ourlbut. His is the careful, thorough work that tells In the long run, In the halls of Congress, and the Republicans of the Fifth District cannot consult their lasting Interests to a better de< gree than by re-nomlnating Hon. A. J. Hopkins to the seat he now occupies. Tbe people who have watched his course with growing interest and satisfaction, would make his endorsement at the polls almost unamimous.--Aurora Beet- con, May 5th. m w.. JUDGE GILMORE- The Marengo Republican has tbe following to say of the candidacy to of Judge Gilmore: "Orson H. (JUtnore has filled the office of county Judge with marked ability for the past four years, andtlesires, if tbe public so will, to serve another term. It is bus sim- pie justice to a good official to say to him when occasion presents, 'continue thou faithful In well doing," and tbns we doubt not tbe people of this county will say to Judge Giiosore at tbe com­ ing County Convention. hear no fault finding with his official acts, but eo the contrary have heard warm com­ mendations from those who are in position to give an Intelligent opinion. Hence we and his many friends in this and all parts of the County hope to see him again placed in nomination for County Judge. The office of Couoty Judge demands both ability and integ rlty, and Judge Gilmore possesses these qualifications In a remarkablejde- gree. County School Superintendent. Under the above head th* Marengo Republican of Friday la«t says: "Mr. Lester Barber was elected to ^the above office two years ago this fall, to fill a vacancy caused by tbe death of Mr. Baldwin. A Superintendent is to be elected this Fall lor a full term Mr. Barber has devoted his entire time to tbe duties of tbe office, and has given tbe very best satisfaction throughout the County. He will be pleased to be ̂ elected to the office again, but does not feel that he can take time for which be is paid by the Connty to look after school matters, to look after his candidacy for an office and will therefore hot be able to visit tbe various towns in bis interest ' There seems a very general desire tor his election, and as he will be candidate, bis friends are ^cordially solicited |to make his "calling and election sure." at the coming Con •entlon. Mr. Barber was elected two years ago from Coral, but moved to our village In order to have better communication with the schools in tbe County. The ftepublican most heartily endorses Mr. Barber as being a first- otaM citizen and In every way worthy and well qualified for the offioe. EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--Jt looks strsnge. Indeed, to us as a Republican, that so many Democrats In this sec­ tion are taking so much interest and concern in the candidacy of the candi­ date for Sheriff from the south west corner of the county. *With a hand full of dissatisfied* Republicans, the rank and file of the Democrats allarounJ this place and irTTdwn are apparently very anxious for tbe success of the candidate refere I to and it is them be seems to court favor from arid is constantly conferirig wltb when In our city, and it Is amusing to hear the'ex­ pression of some of the "great un­ washed" as to what will be the result should the man of their choice not re­ ceive the nomination at the hands of the Republicans. We have repeatedly heard one of their loudest and most delightful talkers? exclaim when addressing lit­ tle crowds gathered to listen to his eloquence on the street corners or in the Park, that should his mau not "get there," they, the Democrats, would run him and elect him. This individu­ al, who has now but little else to em ploy himself about, having been lately stripped of his authority as an officer of the peace, seems to havs the gener­ al management of this candidates affairs, at least in all the north part of tbe county, and fn his way would ap­ pear to be performing yeoman service (at least he imagined such to be the case.) The Republicans In this section of the county, with but very few ex ceptlons, are favorable to the nomina­ tion of George Eckert for Sherifl, and will support him first, last and all the time, unless defeated In theconven tion. And they are far from approving the course that is being pursued by those claiming to be Republicans, and desiring office at their hands. REPUBLICAN. Woodstock, 111., May 17th, 1886.
