Botihotoh, Com. Comrade* how does the following suit you? There are tn the United States in the poor house about 9.000 soldiers, of whom 13 per cent, are pensioners;86 per oent non-pensioners the oldest sol llnr recoiving public sopport 103 yean of age; the mean age Is 57 years; 48 per cent, of all the soldiers receiving support were native born; 51 per cent, were foreign born; 45 per cent, were married oen; 54 per oent, unmarried men; 19 per cent were blind or Insane. The only Soldier OaBdldate for MierflT Capt. George Kckert was the choice of the Republicans In their nomins tlon for the office of Sherifi Comrade Cckert Is as yet comparatively a roung man and has l(ved lib McHenry county the greater part of his l'fe. In faot from his early chiMhood, with the ex­ ception of the tlir«e years spent In the army. He srrved faithfully and well for full three years in Co. F. 95th Illinois Vols, enlisting as a private and being discharged as a Lieutenai t He had a record tnat any soldier mav well feel proud of. being always with lila comrades, ready to perform all duties as igned htm. Sinoe the war he has resided tn Woodstock and ha* held several position of a public character and was for some years the Captain of Co. Q. Illinois National Guards, In all of which he performed the duties devolving upon him, In a satisfactory manner. Comrade Eck*rt was a good soldier and has been jmt as good a oltlaen, i#% class busi­ ness man, and we have no doubt nut that he will make as efficient and competent a sherlfl as McHenry county ever had. Comrades help give him a rousing majority for he it en* tiled to your support and that of your Mends. Attention Comi-ados. Ere otir colum ns appear again elec­ tion will have taken place, and it will have been decided who shall, and who shall not be thefavored ones to possess the positions of trust and honor, together with the generally liberal salary attached thereto to till the State and County offices for the next two or four years. Col, Wm. Avery Is the only soldier candidate for the office ol County Clerk. which he filled for the past four years. He served three years as nearly every soldier In the county knows, at the front, reoelvlng a pain­ ful and dangerous wound through botn legs in the charge on the enemies works at Vicksbur*. May the 18th, 1863 He rose from the position of Captain to that of Lieut. Colonel. Every com • rade should vote for Col. Wm. Av*.ry. Capt. W. H. 8tewart is the only toldler In the field for the office of Treasurer of the county. This Is a position of more than ordinary trust and responsibility aud In selecting comrade Stewart as their candidate the Republicans acted wisely and well. He Is an o'd settler and citizen of M<&<*nry county and none stands hiirher In the estimation of neighbors and friends, the iater of which ho possesses a host. He also served three years as captain of Co. F. of the old 95th. Illinois. Was badly wounded at Gunrown, Miss.J«luring, that fierce and bloody battle known as the Purges massacre. He bears the reputation of beinf a brsve and efficient officer and soldier, Comrades throughout the county ought not to fall but to help til in their power to eleot Capt. W. H. Stewart, thereby swelllug the majority he deserves. Comrades be Just to Yourselves. In some remarks mad« by us in these columns week before last, relative to the position ex-soldiers should take in the coming election as regards their support of Legislative candidates, we are somewhat surprised to learn that some few of our Republican friends do not like and approve of the position we took when advising Co n- cades to vote for George Wait io preference to E. M, Haines. Now we have this to say to these gentlemen, and we should think it would be a satisfactory explanation of just bow we stand, politically, as regards our Ideas of who should and who should not be sent to the Legislature from this district. First. This department of the Plaindkalbr is devoted only to the Interest of all ex-soldiers, no matter what may be their politics, and should non be partisan In any sense. So that --han think i| advisable to advo- -t--•• IffliF • *%• 'VV" cate the supporting of oomrades by comrades, as In the present case, or those of a similar character, It is our right and duty to do so, especially when it comes to deciding as between who should have the support of the soldiers vote, when George Walt ap* pears as the soldiers candidate against E. ML Haines, the demagogue. Second. We claim even as republ I-- cans any ex-soldier, if he feels that his own party candidate are "out of the woods,' is justified in doing all possi­ ble, to help place a comrade in the Legislature as against the pan Haines. Hence we tald In bur remarks of two weeks ago. "Comrades be careful, don't be deceived. Vote for each man placed In nomination for Representa­ tive that are friendly to the cause of the soldier. We know that the Hon. Charles E. Fuller Is, for his past reoord speaks for Itself. Mr. Chas, a. Partridge, If we mistake not, wore the blue, and has an excellent army record. Also Mr. George Walt who served lo Co, B. 96th Illinois Volun­ teers. These three gentlemen are the regular nominees of their respective parlies. Messrs. Fuller and Partridge being Republicans and Mr. Walt a var Democrat." Thus It will be observed that we advocated standing by the Republican candidate, Mr. Charles E. Fuller and Mr. Chas. A. Partridge, first, and Mr. George Walt a War Democrat rathei than the notorious E. M. Haines. At> far as our policies are concerned tbe> have not anything In common wl l> Mil*, the Soldiers Department. W« xlmply consider it our duty to use alt Honorable endeavors to help the caus« of our fellow comrades In whatpvei manner possible. an I shall continue t« do so to the best of our ability, m> matter whether the K. M. Hitlnes sym oath iters, even though claiming to tn Republicans, like it or approve of oui course. Ot our Republicanism we hav» this to say ihat if ve mistake not it will compare favorably with that 01 those who either purposely mistook our former article or did not tead it. but passed verdict upon Its meaning Irom Information received from thost* who, for oertain politic*) (reason, we I known to many of our readers, woulu nke pleasure an<i be delighted in In­ juring u* In any and every way pos sible. Again we urge upon every ex-Unlon soldier the necessity of casting hi- ballot for those candidates who woul- most likely be frierdiy to their Inter est wherever such may appear. Re member, comrades, that the new Sol .Hers Home, just being finished ai Quiucy, III, must be kept up by Ap­ propriations made by the General Assembly of the State, and that nex* winter that body will have to sa} whether or not, ev*n though the build ings &o., be completed, the necessary funds shall be granted to go towards caring for those who became disabled In their country's service. Since writing the article referring to the different candidates for th*- LegUlature to be elected Novembei 2d, which appetrs eUewhere In thl» department ol the PLAiNDBALBb, w« have perused that great and good f paper, the Sentinel, and find that it* talented and Intelligent edi tor has de­ voted quite a goodly space ot hisgreai moral and literary production for OU' especial benefit, and all because he U at heart anxlons for the sua:** of E. M. Haines; and we are just as anxious that Elijah shall not "get the.e.1'-- There are only two little words in alt Me benefit that Gardiner bestows upon us that we care to notice here, becaus* the article above referred to on thl» same subject answers all tils other In­ sinuations. Editor Southworth Inti­ mates that we have "been seen," In faot he says that we "probably" have. The Idea of those words coming from the Faber of Brother Southworth Is really, to use a slan^ phrase, "too too r when It Is the current rap »rt, aud there seems to be none that care to deny sujb, that he has long slnoe "been seen," and has ever sinoe beet* in constant stew tor fear there was n«> possibility of his being "seen" again* and this time by the other fellows, Is having grown on him In cases similar, to be seen as many times as possible and tbeD In some uuexplamable man­ ner known only to himself, leavo each party "seeing" him to "paddle the it own canoe," as tar as the great moral and intellectual support of the Sentinel is concerned. It is very evident that the editor of the Sentinel judges al i.ieu's actions In cases of the kind re ferred to, by those he adopted long years ago and which has been the prln clpal means of keeping his head bare­ ly above water since coming to. Wood­ stock. Wade In, Gardluer, If you desire us to show how many times 4nd oft you have "been seen," just lnti mate as tqucb. We know It is hard for you to understand how any person evades or refuses to "be seen," and you are hardly to be blamed, It having as­ sumed In your makeup a matter of second nature. When it comes to morality, Gardiner, we have not the cheek to compare onrs with the beau­ tiful, chaste and pious life you lead.-- Intellectually we are simply as a mnmmy when compared to the work ings of that gifted mind and ponder- our brain of yours. AM a soldier we - think our record will almost compare with yours, If not quite, and as to our Republicanism we will leave that for the four hundred and fifty ex-soldiers to decide, who reside in McHenry oonnty, and by far the largest majori­ ty with which we are personally ac­ quainted, and have no reason to doubt their friendship. An l now, Gardiner, to oap the clfmax we take pleasure In informing yon and the few others similar to you, that we received an exoeedtngly oour- teous letter from Hon. Chas. E. Fuller, on Tuesday last, October 19th, thank- thanking us for the manner In which we expressed our Ideas, &*„ in the article that gave yon so much distress, and to day, Thursday, we received a personal call from Comrade Charles A. Partridge, who did likewise, and oall ed to see us on purpose to do so. But perhaps they are not as leyal to the Republican party as you are.

After adjournment the visiting com- raJes were provided with rations by the local oomrades, whose guests they were for the occasion, reassembling at the Rink at half past <*even. where the published programme, exoeptlng t <e appearance of Dr. Bennett, was car­ ried out completely. The Doctor be­ ing unavoidably detained sent a letter of regrets, wdlch was read by com­ rade Butier. The singing was excel­ lent and the audience of more than one thousand seemed to have the same opinion of the speeohes, If one were to judge of tbelr foslings by their sheering. All pronounced the occa­ sion a very enjoyable one. Comrade Ellsworth read his speech for fear be would slop over and occupy more than his share of time. Comrade Cox did the same for the roMoa that It was Hobson's choice, read or notbiai^- Rev. Cessna from habit, probably, ioi remarked that it was composed amti the cares of housekeeping and beby* tending. Comrade Cumins spolet his piece because, as he said, be had Men too busy or too lazy to write one.
