FOR THE 1'KOPLE TO DEO'IOK It is possible that those Democratic editors wfeo are so industriously throw­ ing mud at Genteral Garfield, intimat­ ing that he was a "salnry grabber," that he was concerned in Oakes Ames* Credit Mobilier transactions, and that there was something wrong iu his tak­ ing a fee from DeGolyer, believe lie 16 a rotten and a bad man: but we take the liberty of assuring them that the Republicans do not attach the slightest importance to their statements, for they know them to be utterly uiilound- ded. Gen. Garfleld is one of the most un­ selfish men in Congress. All who kno'v him bear witness to his integrity. He is one of the purest men in public life. Those who have been associated with him in the House of Representatives Republicans and Democrats, speak of him in the highest terms. We don't suppose he is a man who never made a mistake, but he has made as few errors as any man who lias been before the public as long as he lias and occupied as conspicuous a position. The Republicans have faith In Gon. Garfield. The)' believe he Is entirely trustworthy. So believing they will try to elect him. There is not the slightest break in the Republican lines. They will vote for him to a man. He will also liave the support of the great body of independent voters, of men who very well understand that the bus- ness of the country is again getting in good shape, and that nothing is to be gained, while much may be lost, by a change in the general policy of the Government. The discreditable assaults which the Democratic press are making on Gen. Garfield's good name are not only doing him no injury, but«quite likelr are helping him. Every fair minded man knows that he docs not deserve the abuse that his unscrupulous adversaries are heaping on him, and will work all the harder to secure his election. It is not unlikely a good many things might be said to the prejudice of Gen. Hancock. It is sufficient for us to state that he is without experience as n civilian, aiu< is the candidate of the democratic party--the same party that gave "aid and comfort" to the Confed­ erate States when they sought to break up the Union, and which declared the war "a failure" in its national plat- wats on its last legs. The Republicans, by tho help of those few Democrats who* lored their country better than their party, put down the rebellion, and since then have been laboring to pay the public debt, buiid up the nation's credit and restore the public prosperity. They have done a splendid work and In spite of the efforts of the Democracy. And the country is to-day in a state of prosper­ ity because it has been well governed. Is it best under tlu?se circumstances to make a change anfTput the national interests into the untried ha mis of men who have steadily resisted every step toward the existing condition of afl'iirs? This is the question for the people to decide. MAYES -AXDiDBALER|IX-- Heady-Made Clothing. Cloths, Cassimere and Worsteds to sell by the vard. The latest stvles of (ioods on hand atail times.

Since the present campaign opened we have witnessed a.great deal of vir­ tuous indignation against the machine in politics. We have been told that a few men had made slaves of all the rest of voting America, and ttat it was not a question of whom we were to vote for, hut simply one as to whose collar we wore. There is something of sense and something of nonsense in all this kind of talk. The machine, as it is called, is just as necessary in politics as a machine is necessary in any depart­ ment of life; politics will not run themselves, and certainly men who scarcely take enough interest in pol­ itics to vote, never even attending a primary,are not the men to attempt to run a campaign. If we have nothing better, we need our Camerons, and Lo- gans,jmd Conklings, and Tlhlens. We have no desire to banish the ma­ chine; we simply wish to substitute a machine composed of. the people for that now composed of those whe have no sympathy with the people. We want Republican farmers and Dem­ ocratic farmers and Greenback farmers to go to the primaries of their respect­ ive parties and control them--to place men^in nomination who are in sympa­ thy with the people; and while we might have a personal partisan prefer­ ence, we can say this with the most complete'conrtdence; If such men were selected by all parties, whichever party triumphed, the country would be all right, for the producers would receive justice. But it is idle for farmers to attempt to control a primary without^machine- ry. If every farmer straggles to the place of election, without any sort of eflort to secure a unanimity of action on the part of farmers, lie might as well stay at home. He must first get tne machine to running, and he can do that by simply getting together the farmers of his own pait}*. and develop­ ing a programme of action; settling upon the support of one man. and then supporting him. It will be a machine, however, that wiil be ruuning the busi­ ness, but it will be a better machine than that which now runs it -- Western liural. FOX LAKE. EDITOR PLAIKDEALER:--Yonr corres­ pondent has been waiting in vain for another pen to wag. Things are some­ what dull on the lakes.just now. partly attributable to the high water which Interferes with ^ood fishing, and part­ ly to the want of a substantial and defln* Ite programme of amusement to hold the crowd. As a fishing and hunting re­ sort. we ali know this place to be un­ excelled in this portion of the States, but as the great majority of visitors take but a transient interest in these things, we ought to have nothing less than a Kaye's Park at Col. Lippiucott's also on Cedar Bluffs, as well as a si in itar institution on some*, point of Pis- taqua Lake, with a handsome pleasure steam boat, devoted exclusively to the transportation of pleasure seekers from one point to another, where matchless grounds, inviting flower beds, and all the accessories that con­ tribute so much to make a location at­ tractive, will hold out their charms to the weekly and monthly guest, as well as a momentary thrill of pleasure to the throng of excursionists who are ever ready to patronize places of inter­ est. The old adage which tells us that money coins money, that success breeds success, also teaches us that the crowd follows the crowd. The erowd is the living and best advertisement a place can have, and their testimony for good or for bad either makes or unmakes a place. If they testify to a glorious time, good treatment, reasonable fare, and delightful recreation, the chances are that their numbers will soon In­ crease a hundred fold. If, on the other hand, the verdict is that the place is Intrinsically pretty enough but rather dead and stupid, then the chances are that the grand crowd wil! give It a wide berth. In these days of travel nnd luxurious resorts nothing short of first class institutions and improve­ ments can expect to attract nnd hold publio favor. Any one acquainted witli these lakes will leadily admit hat they possess the material for suc- cesssful development. The angler who objects to development, and finds pla­ ces most complete when In a state of nature, may think this a paradise as it is. but as his visits are few and far be­ tween, our hotels must depend on some­ thing more than the angler pure and simple. But what have we got to in­ terest the boy, girl, man, woman or •chttd whose wakeful moments are not to be devoted exclusively to watohing tiie bob-tloat on the water from break­ fast to supper, oh from Monday morn­ ing to Saturday night. These classes ot people are literally dumped on our shores, which, however are not barren shores, for they afford them grub, first, last, and all the time. This tlie alpha and omega, or sura total of their en. joyments at present, whose monotony i« only relieved by the chirrup of the grasshopper by day and the voice of the cricket by night? Of course we are sometimes much flattered by the encouraging remarks of seme of our casual visitors, iu reference to the ex­ treme, not to say Intense peacefulnoss of the place, where they think they could wear an old dress, watch sunsets nud feel dreamily happy, unmolested by vulgar gaze. A pretty lake is un­ doubtedly something of a recommend, but beyond seating our visitors on the bank to gaze at the sky between meals, much more remains to be done. Col. J.lppincott has commenced the work in this direction, and the question of interest now is, where will Ite finish? Mr. Small's residence has been fur­ ther enlarged, and now presents quite imposing appearance. A dozen from the fire drinker to the dainty pdp ates of the boulevard, and with a dis­ criminating eye he deals out qnantitjT or quality its the case may be. Wltett a high critic presents himself befoVBc Joe with or without a ping hat ami lavender handkerchief and asks for b(fc . best he gets quality in a crystal glesv But when a plain appetite drops la with a furnace concealed under his v«*t and asks for the same in a breath that blisters the counter and sends the fltaa hopping wingless to the floor, and astgt for a tumbler like a glass crock to drinlt it in. then Joe has got to use hip tnagie : wand, cries Presto! here i? is, and tlwt man gets quantity. Mr. Wiedemann does an extensive wholesale trade In bo*li keg" arid bottled beer, wines i» various grades from port to angelica^ and spirits of all brands up to the hesit imported cognac. All this in conned- tion with a complete hostelry for tlMt benefit of traveling sportsmen, conr tributes to make a thriving establish!* ment, whose landlord's genial temper, alone entitles lilu to favor, and th# success he so weil deserves. The hunting season will soon be us, our agents are already canvassing for custom in the far north to indue* flights this way on the duck's journey southward.

Mr. WilHy's residence Is now def­ initely settled into a club house, and already counts about fifty members, al 4>f Chicago. These gentlemen seem highly pleased with the house and si i" uatiou and under the management of Mrs. Preston, a lady of considerale ho­ tel experience, this resort cannot fail to become an enjoyable one to its pro prietors. Mrs. Sims continues to preside at tho Chicago House, and seems to hold the presidency for life. The cry of third term does not affect her prospects, and with her little cookery book, beats Hancock and Garfield every time. The Sycamore people have poured in an inoessant stream at their club house this season. The hot weather on the Sycamore Plains no doubt makes this mountain lodge necessary to their well being. Timber line is just about right. The Steamboat continues to make regular trips, and if the travel is not quite as brisk as it might be just now. it is-not the fault of Captain Hill, our highly esteemed mariner, who never spares efforts to give his passengers satisfaction,or In transacting any bus­ iness committed to his charge. Mr. Hill has now been running two years, and he is now considered as one of the Lakeside family. The houses ot Messrs. Colby Bros, and Perry A Martin main­ ly supply the Lake with groceries, but it is left to Joe Wledeman to wash all thiR down with his choice ales and liquors. Joe's establishment is the "Chapin A Gore," of this section. Ills business is large and his alee never stale. Only the initiated know the mysteries of his cellar. He has mate- i ilul to please all shaUes ^ THK BUSlNKhS OUTLOOK. The New York Bulletin's semi­ annual record of business concludes thus: Upon the whole, the half-year's business has been very satisfactory and remunerative to manufactures and mer­ chants alike. Profits were undoubt­ edly large in the year, and later on com paratively tew losses were sustained on merchandise by distributors and still fewer by bad debts. It is probable however that more than an average buisness will be accomplished in the early mouths and that trade will be of a more healthy, conservative and tm- speculative character than was wit sessed during the early part cs the year. Prices are likely to rule low­ er than In the spring and this wiiistiu ulate consumption. Stocks in first hands are not unwieldy, though abun»; dautly large for'probable requirements and jobbers(whiIe perhaps carrying more than their usual supplies of eer» tain fabric*.)are not, as a tute over- stocked. There K therefore, every reason to expect that the coming An- tuinn trade will be a prosperous one. |^It is not strange that 12,000 den­ tists find employment in the United States. Dr. J. N. Farrar, of New York, states in an article published In As Denial Laboratory that not less than half a ton of pure gold, costing about #600,000, Is annually packed away In the mouths ol Americans jand, in addition to this, there Is probably four times aa much cheaper material, iuich as silver, piatina, etc., used in filling cavities in teeth. He makes the curious and is» teresting estimate that only 360 yean would be required to bury tho amount of gold cuiu now In circulation In tho country (fl50,000.000) in the straw*/, yards.
