CHARLES E m COOK, of Huntley mi*. w THE STATE TICKET. , It ts with a feeling of pride that we «t the mast-head of our 'paper this '%tek the Republican State Ticket, headed by Private Joseph W. Filer, for Governor. We believe we but •eioethe sentiment of the Repabli- flans of the entire State when we eay .that no strenger or abler ticket could have been nominated. The nomina­ tion of Private Fifer was a compli­ ment to the boys who carried the araeket. which they cannot and will not fall to appreciate. In short every iMRdldate is clean-handed and deserv­ ing of the hearty and united support •of every true Republican In tin State. "Once again, then, the Rubublicaa party, which has merited the popular oonfidence and maintained is ascend­ ency in Illinois for over thirty years, throws its proud banner to the breeze, Md enters the arena of battle. Its Standard-bearers one and all, are brave fUid food men--men having honorable records and indisputable qualifications. It lathe duty of every Republican to rally to their support. The platform principles adopted by the conven­ tion consists of sound doctrines, upon which all Republicans cm heatrily write. The candidates and the platform being all that could be reasonably ask- od'for, it now only remains for the peo­ ple to ratify the one and elect the other. It is the Presidential year, and Illlaols owes it to the Nation, as well as to itself, to continue to throw its "political weight on the side of the grand old Republican party of patrio­ tism and of good government, and we can not doubt that it will do so." OB the inside pages of this paper MB bo found a fnll synopsis of the pro- oeodlags of the Convention, togaibgr With tbo platform adopted. POLITICAL Gt/'ESSKS. A« oonvention time approaches gnooos at results will be in order, and as there are 401 votes in the elec­ toral oollege, it will take 201 ef theee to elect a President of the United States, low to secure these is the problem that politicians are now ear­ nestly striving to solve. The States may bo tabulated ae probable and doubtful: _ Republican State*.

From the above it will ba s^en that the odds are largely in favor of Re- publican sucosss. They need but 19 additional votes to the number gener­ ally conceded to them. They can elect their ticket with tbo help of New York : or failing to carry the Umpire State, the victory is still their* if they can secure Indiana and Connecticut, or Indiana and West Virginia. Nominate Gresham and Hawley and success is no longer doubtful, because Connecticut aud Indiana will then be placed in the Republican column and the total will be 203. or two moro than the requisite majority.

Grant, Logan, Garfield &>nkllag--a quartet of political t! Their successors have not yet id above the political horizon MK3AL POLITICS. Tho following from the pen of our occasional correspondent, "Abbot" (Dr. W. A.Nason, Algonquin) wo clip from the Elgin Dally News, and com­ mend it to the caretul perusal of our readers The Doctor wields an able and ready pen, and seta the mass of the people thinking on subjects per­ tinent to tlieir welfare. "The fact that every American citi­ zen is the peer politically of every other citizen, and is eligible to any public office, is not the unmixed good to the community that is sometimes asserted. Every little community has some offices to be filled dependent on the votes of the electors in that commu­ nity. And every community has a number ef citizens who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the public goed:-- that is to take these public offices and the emolument* which ac­ company them. This produces a state of miud In thesa ambitious Individuals which if never admirable, and is net beneficial to the general welfare of the commu­ nity; for it encourages an uneasiness and longing in their minds, which can never be satisfied. Not a:i of these aspirants for position can be successful candidates, for the result always leaves some unsuccessful and disappointed ones, and as these unsatisfied individ­ uals belong to the class of persons who are governed by petty ambitions only, they fail to aceept their defeat in a proper spirit. They are usually soured in misd by any unfavorable result, and becoming jealeus of their more suc­ cessful fellow citizens become thorns in flesh to the whole local body politic. The idea that good stable govern­ ment can be administered by ether than themselves never enters the minds of such a class of office-seekers. They look only on office as a wise pro­ vision of Providence to enable them to lead an easy and well paid public life; as a sinecure, which they should fill if It is filled at all. And from the moment of their defeat they are ar­ rayed on the side of the opposition. Having once taken this position, tho selfish obstinacy of their nature ever keeps them true to their assumed part. No wise administration of affairs by the elected ones ever proves satisfac­ tory to them. The office holders are upstarts and intruders in their estima­ tion, and can do only wrong. And 60 these disappointed office seekers de­ vote their whole active powers to creating false and disqnieting opinions in regard to the acts of the regular administratioa. Such a class of critics and disappoint­ ed men are found in every commun­ ity, and they do much harm by their loud mouthed assertions. Their spe­ cious criticisms, seeking no real good results, cause much hindrance to the local authorities in performing their dntlee, besides creating in tho minds of tho average indifferent voter unde- served.'reflections en the persons]; hold­ ing office. Unfortunately for tho goed of the best class of citizens, the class who have just been ^described, are the ones who are usually successful. The very qualities which make them the curse of tho community when unsuccessful, more commonly secure for them the positions they covet. Their self asser. tlon, and lack of knowledge of (heir own unimportance, enable them to cl'alm and get the position they want. And then their capacity for doing harm accompanies th <m. Having the power from their position to accom­ plish much, they at once become ag­ gressive. All their public measures are dictated by a spirit of selfish purpose and the accomplishment of personal ends, either political or material, becomes tho sole actuating motive which governs the ml Having no scru­ ples, nor sensitiveness of conscience, they can bring to the accomplishment of their projects, the lull^force of the power given them by virtue of their position, as well as the selfish motives actuating their own will. Howe find such persons ever glye us an adminis­ tration (strong) (only), in Its one eel fish purpose ol personal aggrandize­ ment. Thus our Republic, much too often, repeats the lesson history teaches, In regard to despotic power. Selfish, un­ scrupulous men, whether office holders or emperors, will and do, over-ride the will of the mass of the people, when­ ever circumstances give them the opportunity. There is a remedy for all this class of evils open to tho oitizens of this American Union, if they would only recognize it, and use their power. They have in tbo grand right of suff­ rage the means of correcting the abuses of all administrations, local or general. But they can only obtain these good results by exercising their sufirage rights, in such a manner as shall elect only good men to office. They must cease to vote in pure party spirit, regardless of the character of the candidate. They must let sense and judgment govern their choice and drop entirely partisan feelings. Then they ean elect as officeholders the truest and most honest men, and secure capable officers and honorable rulers, ABBOTT. v ;'^iin Hebron Department At Elgin, Monday, the Butter was quite animated at 24 cents, regular sales were 16,620 pounds.

There has been faint whisperings that one of our most influential and enterprising citizens was vaguely con­ templating the idea of buying out the Bichuaorid Gazette and moving it to Hebron. He would be ths right man in gthe right place and would bavo many reliable supporters in the under­ taking. One would suppose from appearaaces on Saturday afternoon that Hec, the Jeweler was about to change his nom de plume to Hec the wliltewasher, as be wa3 busy with brush in hand, white­ washing the trees and shrubbery in the front of his lot. But as bis object was not ornamentation but for other pur­ poses It was, doubtless an afternoon well spent, although the result of his experiment Is yet to be determined.
