THE Soldiers' Reunion at Fox Lake last week was pronounced a failure, the number in attendance eaob day be­ ing exceedingly small, and in conse­ quence the programme could not be carried out as was Intended. The caase ef the failure is said to have been a difficulty which arose on the first and lecond days .on account of the rations elng dealt out at Lippincott's, and the onsoquence was that the veterans Te­ amed to their homes in large num­ bers, and of oourse advised their friends, who contemplated attending the last of the week, not to go.

Since onr last Issue the McHenry Brick Company have sold their Yard and bnsiness In this village to the Elgin Brick and Tile Company, who have taken possession of the same. The bill of sale Includes 37 acres of land, 1,000,000 Brick on tian l and all tbe nuachinery, teams, etc. : Tbe busi­ ness will be continued here, but on a more extensive scale, (lie 'new firm haviog unlimited capital and propose to push both the McHenry and Mc­ Queen Yards to their fullest capacity. Mr. Isaac Went worth has been engag­ ed to take charge of both Yards, with Jacob Wentworth as assistant Superin­ tendent at McQueens and W. D. Went­ worth as assistant Superintendent and Book-Keeper at McHenry. This waa a wise thing for the new firm te do, as we reiterate what we have said before, that as a brick maker Mr Wentwortb has no superior. He has followed this business from youth, studied It in all Its details, and is as familiar with every part as study and long experi­ ence could make him. He was one of tbe founders of the McHenry Yard and it was his efforts alone that made it a success and brought the McHenry brick into the the market with a repu­ tation second to none, and sought after by builders far and near. The Elgin Brick and Tile Company were fortu­ nate In securing his services, anil they can be assured that with tho able as­ sistance of his two sons their business will be ably and faithfully attended .to while under his charge. J V^Phe company who now own the twfe yards is composed of tbe following named gentlemen: E. D. Waldron, Wm. Grote, J. B. Lane, McBrlde Bros., Andrew Magnus, Chfts. Herman and Henry Marckbofl. The McHenry Yard has one of the fiaest beds of clay In the Northwest and the McHenry Brick are fully enti­ tled to rank No. 1, and the new firm will never regret their purchase. THE Races at the Driving Park, on Saturday last, drew out a big crowd, and seme fine sport was the result. The day was fiue( and no cooler place could have been found anywhere, than beneath the trees In the center of the Park.

G Smith, of this village, takiug the first, second and fourth heats. The next was the 2:50 olass, in which there were four entries. This, too, wis hotly con­ tested, but Jockey, owned by H. Snyder, carried ofi tbe laurels, taking three straight heats. For the running Rtce there were three entries, but the Purse was won easily by a mare owed by F. K. Granger.

No person with even ordinary powers ot judgment, believes otlier- wiso than that the UepubUcan party embrace -imijority of tlie voters of the Union, and that by a full vote can easily carry tboir points in the tall election, This being the case the situation is narrowed down to exceed­ ingly plain and clearly dcilued limits. The Itopublic in candidates liavo only to receive all the support and voles to which tliey are entitled, 10 oe triumphantly elected. Our Democratic trionua well uudei stand this tact, and build their hopes almost entirely on the uolief that the full liep.iciican voto can- nwl be polled in anyievont. Iteasoning from the conduct oi the party in times past, especially four years ago, lliese opponents have con­ cluded that it is an impossibility to again 4rouse and enthuso the Kepubiic^u voters itiroughout the country sutliciently' to win ihe battle. That ihcy have reason--goou reason too--for so concluding even the Uopub- lican voters must admit and the thoogiittui leaders ot tho party do mako the admission, sorrowfully but not by any,means hopelessly, believing that to so adniti is lar better than to boasttully claim everything in sight and out, Many a campaign has been lost through over-couihteuco and hragadocia, That in times }mst this stale of things has been the cause of the parties' downfall is true; that it must again deieat the hopes and plans of Re­ publican leadois if it takes place the present year is another tact; but tnat it will take place we are happy to say there is every reason to doubt, lo-day there is every evi­ dence of awakened zsal and enthusiasm in the UepubUcan ranks from Maine to Califor­ nia. Vlie Democrats, with their "Mugwump" and Prohibitionist allies huvo at least achiev­ ed so much at the very outsetot the campaign they have caused their opponents to thorough­ ly survey tho situation trom every stand, ooiut, and to appreciate It to its full value.
