Th« most disgraceful exhibition of political cowardice, (we can call It by no otber name,) was witnessed at the Senatorial Convention, at Woodstock on Thursday of last week, and one which should and will brand the Instl gat*n not oily with lack of judg­ ment and zeal but with downright treason to party and party principles. The delegates from McHenry county were practically Bolid in favor of put tin; three men in the field as candidate* for members of the Lower Bouse of our State Legislature. And whj ? Simply because the actual figures for the last three elections for members, viz: 1882 1884, and 1886, shew that three Repub­ licans might bars been elected, and with votes to spare, and m the same •tate of things exist this year, there Is no valid reason why the RepublJ caas should not run three men. But as soon as the subject wa? broached at the Convention, a wail loud and long, went up from the Ring candidates, "Oh that will not do!" MYou will elect two democrats!" etc Bat we opine their only fear was for , their friend, Elijah. But let us ask what had these gen- , tlemen honestly to fearP There is no contingency that could arise that would prevent the election of two Re­ publicans, and figures show that we hfcV* forty-nine chances out of titty fu eleot a third man. Are either of these i gentlemen fearful that they will ruo •o far behind their ticket that defeat *U1 stare them in the face ? Tf so, for the f«o«l of the party at least, they eboald get eut of the way and allow men who would strengthen and net weaken the ticket take their places and not ask the party to rfirow away these forty-nine sbances in order that they may sit down and slide in on two or three thousand majority behind each of their hacks. As we said before It ia rank cowardice, and an insult to the Republican voters of the District. Iffe man can figure the result of the coming election, and as the next Leg­ islature is to elect a United States' Senator, It behooves the Republicans to pnt forth every effort to elect every Republican possible to that body That third man who can be elected from this District may be just what Is needed to turn the scale, and we be­ lieve he clique or ring have the right to dictate to the Republican voters of this District as to their duty in the matter. There is everything to gain and nothing to lose, and it is only the rankest cowardice, want ot zeal for the cause, or both, that would lead anyone to oppose the move. This question Is being agitated throughout the entire District, and if the Senatorial Committee do not see the hand-writing on the wall and act, the Republican voters may take it lot# their own bands and an Indepen­ dent Republican oandldate be put in the field. It is high time that Ring dictation had ceased, ani the people not self consulted. WHY? EDITOR PLAINDBALB*.:--WH«a one considers the action of Sonthworth and Partridge at onr late Senatorial Convention, he Is compelled to ask Why? We are told that no one acts without motives. What, then i3 the motive which actuated these gentle­ men, who seem to consider themselves equal to tb^ee average Republicans? An examination of the votes cast at the last presidential election would seem to render it impossible for the Democrats to elect either of their can­ didates when they put two Ii the field The Republicans cast 8,462 votes for Blaine and the Democrats 4,139 for Cleveland. Is it not reasonable to suppose that with three men in the race and a fair distribution of votes (that Is to have each voter cast one vote for each of the three), we could olect all three. Each one should re celve S,462 votes, while our opponent would have only the votes of 4,139' voters to give to Mr. Haines and Mr Flavin. Heretofore they have divided the votes about equally. Should they do so this year either would lack over two thousand votes. Why Is it, then, (hat these two Republican candidates kick so vigorously agaiast putting up a third candidate? They claim to be Republicans Irem away back. Why are they so anxious for Democratic success? With but tvo Republicans In the field it is absolutely certain that Democrat will be elected. While with three Republicans ir the field there is only a bare possibility ol electing a Democrat. Are the Re> publicans offered any such lukewarm oess on the part of otber candidates? Men who are not only lukewarm, but worse, playing Into the bands of the Democrats. Men who in order to make their own election a foregone conclusion, are willing to hazard a United States Senator. Such lack of sand is lamentable, in any event, and this year when a Senator is at stake, it is but little less than treason to the party. It shews that way down thfere Is some reason for all this not under­ stood by the party as a whole. Will seme one answer the question, Why? • TRUB REPUBLICAN. Nunda, 111, May 14, 1888. HON* CHAS. E. FULLER, Was nominated for State Senator, from this, the Eighth District, at the Senatorial Convention, on the 10th by acclamation. Mr. Fuller has served one term in the Senate and we believe three in the lower bouse of our State Legislature, and bis unanimous choice at the late convention was but a just recognition of bis honesty, ability and worth. His election will be almost as unanimous as was his nomination. afiTGevernor Hill, of New York, has vetoed the high lloense bill, recently passed by the legislature of that state. The proposed law was about the same as the present Illinois law on the sub­ ject. The governor, however, says, in effect, that a high license may be a very good thing for a Republican state, but it is not the thing iwt Democratic constituency. MTThe Inter Ocean says: 4 Colonel F. W. Dawson, editor of the Charles­ ton (8. C.) News and Courier, hopes that the Republican nomination will be Blaine, but fears it njay be Oresham. Colonel Dawson *is one of Cleveland's ablest lieutenants in the South, and he knows a dangerous enemy." 1KOKBSOI.L FUR GREsHAM. The St, Louis Globe-Democrat is permitted to print the following let­ ter from Robert G. Ingersell : NEW YORK, April 20.--Rev. K. P, Powell: DEAR SIR--I am In favor of Gresham for the following reasons: 1. He Is a man of intelligence, well read, mentally trained. 2 His character is good. He Is an honest, faithful man, 3. He has filled with honor every po­ sition in which he bas been. Ho was i private soldier; he became a general he did his duty. 4. He was a judge. He decided ac cording to the best of his ability. He was merciful as well as firm. 5. He was a Cabinet officer. He was natural, clear-beaded and firm. 6. He is now a Judge, and no polit ical ambition has or can warp his judgment. 7. His record Is clean, and he can be elected. CARPET WEAVING. Tb* undersigned is prepared to weave Rag Carpets on short notice and at Reasonable rates. Residence one Block West of the residence of Wm.
