. ' . r- -• *f »* 'T , v'^' : - - • ̂ V - *' 'V- - :• ewy JlteiiiMefc WEDNESDAY, OCT. 24th, 1877. r. VAN SLYIiE, Editor TDMC FIfTH CONVKNTION. The Democratic County Convention, being the fifth gathering of the kind held this Fall in this county, met at * Woodstock «n Satnrdaj' last, and after adopting the "anything to beat Whit­ ney" policy put the following ticket iu the field: » For County Judge--John B. Lyon, of Harvard. County Cleri^MUol. Wm. Avery, of Marengo. County Treasurer--A. L. Salisbury, •f Woodstock. Superintendent of Schools--A. W. Cumins, of Woodstock. Should the Democratic party succeed by the aid of a few sorehead votes, in electing the aboye ticket, we would like to ask what tliey have gained for the cause they advocate? On the above ticket there is but one genuine Detnocrat, namely A. L. Salisbury, the balance of the ticket being composed of what can be called (should they allow their names to be used without protest) nothing but renegade Republicans, men who not succeeding in getting office in their own party have gone over to the opposition for the pap of office, not from principle. We would like to ask the voters of McHenry county, irrespective of par­ ty, if this is >the kind of men they would like to endorse by their votes at the coming election. Men who have no priuciple, but only grasping for the spoils of office, and willing to sacrifice friends, party and all for the sake of .•getting their greedy hands into the public crib, and making an easy living • en the hard earnings of 'the sons of toil <-et our county. We make no party Hieue of this, but can see no principle, policy or good sense in any party at­ tempting to foist a lot of soreheads upon the people, to fill the offices that rightfully belong to honest, capable men. If a party is honest in advocating a certain principle, let them put up as their standard bearers men who are Iniown to have honestly advocated these principles, and not men who have failed to get nominations in other parties and come over to steal what they could not honestly acquire. Voters of McIIenry County, whether Republican?, Democrats or Green­ back, we ask you to pause and consider this question before you cast your ballot on the 6th of November. If you •ire honest in your political belief.can . you cenecie nt i ously vo te for any in an •®r set of men who are acting the lie merely that they may get a fat office? No matter what your political belief you cannot aftord to vote for political bummers, whose only aim is to rule or ruin. Next week we shall present a few &Cts in relation to the course pursued by some of the "soreheads*' who are asking the people for their votes, that will show them up in their true light. Open antagonism * we respect, but -gaping and mining oppostion we .de­ test. MASS MEETING. GREENBACKS vs HARD MONEY 8. F. NORTON, of Chicago, a speak­ er of prominence and ability, will dis- cuss the following questions in Wood- , JStock, on next Saturday afternoon. "October 27, at 2 o clock, in the Court House: Why we ar« having '-hard times." Why men are working for low wages. Why so many men are . out of •employ. Why we have "'.strikes and * ""riots," Wi»y the Poor Houses are be­ ing filled up. Why the bankrupt courts -are over-run. Why the farms and homes are being sold out under mort­ gages. Bring your family, and let us . fill the Court House and become in­ formed upon these vital '[iicstioiis. jUt" And now comes a warning from Oen. Pope, in command in the Indian Territory, that wa* is likely to break out there, as the Indians are absolutely Starving, through the plunder of the thieving agents of the Indian Ring, •with the deliberate purpose of compell­ ing them to seize the stores of the whites, and thus provoke retaliation and massacre, and eonsequnt war. The Government has kept faith with its wards, and has provided for their sup­ port, but its supplies have only reached the Indians through the infamous miscreants who fatten upon the spoils of fcKe Ring, and care nothing for plighted faith, honor, or humanity, the well-being of the Indians, or the se­ curity of the whites on the borders. AUCTION SALE. The undersigned will sell at Public Auction, at his residence, one half mile East of Ringwood, on the Condict farm on Saturday, Nov.3d, 1877,commencing at 10 o'clock a. m., the following prop* erty: 4 work horses 3 yearling colts, l two year old colt, 2 cows, 2 yearling Steers. 1 yearling heifer, 4 spring calves 10 spring shoats, 1 sow and pigs. 80 head Of sheep, 1 double wagon, 1 democrat wagon, 1 Champion reaper and mower eombined, 1 sulky cultivator, 1 diamond cultivator. 3 plows,2 set. Drags, 1 set bobsleighs, 2 set double harness, l Cauldron Kettle and ether articles too numerous to* mention. Also 15 acres of corn in ,lhe sho.ck, 8 tons of hay and a quantity of straw, J. RAINTHORP. GREENWOOD. lEbrrofe JPLAINDEALER cry ct "Water, more water,w has ceased, and Dame Nature once more assumes a more healthful aspect, Instead of the dry and pirched external surface .sur­ rounded by a burning and fevered at­ mosphere, she now lies cool and moist, j fanned by autumns purest breath. A* is always the case, all are not sat­ isfied with the weather. For some, it is either too wet or too dry. too hot, or too cold, something going wrong con­ stantly, a*hd we doubt very much were they to contrive matters themselves, they would be any better suited. Some of our farmers have nearly finished their husking and will soon have but little else to do but make ready for the winter. We have heard considerable com­ plaint of late in regard to the time of commencing the Winter School. Many of the patrons who have small children to send are becoming, impatient and anxious that their children should be in school during the fine fall weather, while those who have larger scholars to send, do. not care to have school be­ gin until all the fall work is finished. While the arguments in favor ©f both early and late commencement are seemingly good, we see no good reason why both could not have been accommo­ dated, inasmuch as there are to be two departments. The " primary should have commenced about the fourth of October, the higher about the 1st of November. While it is quite natural for patrons to find fault in regard to the management of -chool affairs, they do not seem to realize that there is no one to blanie but themselves. The place to set such thii.gs right is at the annual school meeting where each have a voice. The Greenwood Literary Association will hold its first meeting for the season on Friday evening November 2d, 1877, in the Hall over the Post Office, at which time officers for the ensuing year will be elected and the programme for the future plan of con­ ducting the same be agreed upon. A full attendance Of all interested is re­ quested. Wo understand that arrangements are on foot for the purpose of starting a singing class, which is a movement in the right direction. There is but little doubt but what a good sized class of 50 or more can be started providing a competent Teacher can be obtained. Our Merchant J. J. Philbrick has just returned from the city where he has been purchasing goods for his fall and winter trade, which he designs offering to the public at prices that will com­ pare with any in the county. Our Post*Office lias just been receiving a change of Post Masters. Mr. A. W. Washburn , who has, up to the f preseiu- tirae, held the office, having resigned. Mr. J. J. Philbrick, through tire rccosn- eiidation of the retiring P. M. has been appointed to the position, although having acted in that capacity for the past year. W e have noticed of late many teams, heavily loaded with grain driving up in front of Job Toles Mill and unload­ ing which would rather indicate that business was getting a little lively in that quarter. That they are turning out a fiist class quality of flour we con­ sider ourselves competent to judge, having sampled up a goodly quantity for the pa«t forty years. Will your correspondent "Bismark" have, t ie frankness to acknowledge that the young ublood" refered to in his of the 19th, of September was and is a resident of his own town instead of Greenwood. This is the point to which we wish to call his attention. It is jiot our wish or design to enter into any controversy with any brother Scribe, still we consider it a duty we owe our townsmen to defend and correct any unwarranted attack which may appear through a mistake or from malice. With all due regard for your correspondent "Bismark," we leave the matter for his correction. FVEN. Where Jq Yet Irade ? Great Auction Sale of furniture.
