Advlou from different pwM of the :IHH#*rlot brings assurance that the Re- IMbltcaa voters are looking up tbe Hgvrea fer themselves on the Legisla­ ture question, aed the fact that three Jl&publicans can be elected from thU District being so plain that "he who TUBS may read," will not submit to be governed by the cowardly course pur-1 coed K the Convention la ft >mInatiog but two. The question naturally arises iu the mind of every true Republican, are these two self-appointed candidates of J mere Importance than She entire Be- j publican ticket of the District? Arel they ae weak before the people that 11 'becomes neoe&sary to put from four to : six thousand majority behind their | back in order to make tbem feel safe ? If so the quicker they retire to private ]|fa the better It will be for themselves] Mi the party. No good Republican need be afraid of running behind his j ticket this year; and we believe also that no good Republican has a right te j ask the party te throw away four or I Ave thousand votes to humor the old thread bare whim of these weak-kneed ] candidates, *' Oh, it baa been the custom and we nust not depart from itr It Is all bosh, and only the child-J like walltug el rank cowards. At we said there Is every Indication that the Republican voters of tbe 8th Dlstrlot, outside of Ring rule, will net cobalt to this outrage upon their' rights. For six years they have been •bilged to threw thelt votes this way aed that te prevent some obaoxleus | trickster from tbe opposition getting | into the Legislature, when they had enough votes, as has been shown, to I elect three men ef their own. They ( new ask that this wrong be righted. MP*Joseph W. Fifer, the nominee fer Governor, was bora in Staunton. Va., and In 1857 came west with his father, who settled in the western part of McLean county. - His father was a practicial brick-mason. "Joe * learned tbe trade and often worked at It. In 1861 he joined the Thirty-third Illinois Infantry and marched away te tbe war. At Jackson, Miss., he was shot through tbe body. He came heme, and, arter his recovery, joined his reg­ iment, serving to tbe close ef tbe war. "When the was was ever he resolved te obtain an education, and going te Bleooaingten entered the Illinois Wesleyan University. In June, 1867, before Joe had graduated froua the university, he commenced the study of law in the office of Prince & Bloom- field. After two years' bard work be was admitted to the bar. and In 1871 was elected corporation council. Tbe next year he was chosen States Atter- •ey, a position he held until be was elected te the State Senate In 1880. He held this position lor four years only, retiring voluntarily In 1884. Up to the present time Fifer has devoted his attention almost exclusively to his law business and has paid bat little attention to politics. • Shall < ttwi _ttfcir#' Throe Roproaontatlvee? EDITOR I'LUNOBALBR*--3!eee read­ ing tbe articles in last week's PLAIN- DEAL.ES 1 have come to tbe conclusion that we c&n, If we will, I can see nothing to lose and much to gain In the Republicans running three cand!> dates this Fall. The talk that some (who ought to know better but don't) are making, that by running three we would be likely to lose two. Is all bosh. A man must be a political dunce to talk or think it. What are the facts? In 1SS2 James Thompson, of Harvard, was the regular Democratic nominee, and he received 4199 votes. E, M. Haines ran en the stump and received 4585 votes and was elected. Hen. Chas. E. Fuller received 7668£ votes, or 3083$ votes more than Haines. Hon. Chas. H. Tryon hart 6696 votes, or Sill votes more than Haines. Btaddlng the Fuller and Tryon votes, In excess of Mr. Dalnes, we have 5194} votes, or 609} votes more than the Haines vote. In addition to this Boon county haJ an Independent candidate, Mr. Cowen, put up expressly fer the purpose ef defeating Mr. Fuller, who had 2871 votes. Supposed he bad been endorsed by the party, the surplus vote ef t ither Mr. Fullor or Mr. Tryen would have elected him. Or had we had still a fourth man in the field, we eeuld have eleoted him and net used any of the Cowen vote. Shall we repeat the fcflly this Fall simply because Mr. Southworth's friends say that he is a weak candi­ date. and It won't do to run any risk? Mr. Southworth's prayer ought to be, "Good Lord save me from my foel friends." REPUBLICAN. Hebron, 111, May 21st, 1888. passage in Congressman Hop­ kins'speech on the Mills tarifl bill touches as with a needle the sere spot oa the free trade system. The Mills bill is a free trade bill, of which more hereafter; its advocates are free trad­ ers at heart, and one of them, Mr. Hemphill, ef South Carolina, said in aaswer to a question which interrupted bis congressional plea for the bill: ^Exactly; I think that eoeaomy de­ mands cheap labor as well as other cheap goods." That Is tfie Southern and free trade idea from time imme­ morial ; cheap labor, slave labor so long as It could he maintained, and cheap goods to clothe it with. The protect­ ed manufacture aad free labor system Is far other in Its purpose. Mr. Hemphill, ef South Caroline, coincides With that ether free-trader, Mr. John Bright, of Rockdale, England, la per­ fect indifference to the protection of labor. To both of them It is nothing that men, women, and children should toll fer sixteen or eighteen hours a day fer a bare pittance; te both of tbem it Is everything that the law of "buy cheaply" should be fulfilled. That the Mills bill Is a free trade bill is proven by the hearty welcome given to It by English and American free-traders. Says Mr. Henry George: *Mr. Mills' speech in opening the tarifl debate, as printed in full in the Congressional Record, justifies tbe im­ pression produced by the telegraphic reports. It is a manly, vigorous, and most effective free trade speech, a- bonndlng with telling points that go to the very heart of protection. It ought to be largely eirouiated as a campaign document." The conditions of American labor BXO, however, so greatly superior to those which obtain in free-trade coun­ tries as to afford a practical auswer te Mr. Mills' "effective free-trade speech." Indaod Mr, Hopkins answers It very Time to Talk Plainly. TOera Is wisdom In tbe suggestion' ef the Milwaukee Sentinel-- in connec­ tion with some comments upon the at- tempt]! of the sensational Philadel­ phia Times to make it appear that there is just new an urgent demand to have Mr. Blaine again enter the arena as a candidate fer the Presidency-- that "there is no such crisis" in tbe affairs of the Republican party, 'that it is necessary" te resort to a draft to find a proper candidate." The nel manifests its disposition to talk plainly on tbe subject when it says: Tbe objection te nominating Mr. Blaine nfter his letter of declination and his declaration that he feels una­ ble to eBdure another canvass like that of 1SS4, is that it be regarded by many voters as a trick. Another objection is that bis nomination would not se­ cure that universal support from bis party that is essential to success. Con­ cede all that his friends claim: that he is tbe greatest living American states­ man, that he Is the most magnetic man in tbe country, that he is the choice of a great majority of his parly, and yet these facts avail nothing un­ less he can be electeg. The majority in- a party have a right to determine what It shall do, in the sense that they possess the power, but it is net always safe for a majority to exercise its power without regard to tbe opinions of the minority. The other day the Republicans of Illinois declared that, in order to sue-- ceed, the party must this year make an aggressive campaign. It Is the misfortune of Mr. Blaine that with him as a candidate tbe party can not make an aggressive campaign. It may desire to do so, it may try te do so, but it will inevitably be thrown on the defensive. Mr. Blaine may be as up­ right a man as lives, tbe charges against his personal character may be false and malicious, but nevertheless the fact remains that there exists tbe material, consisting in part of letters written by himself, for making up a case against him so plausible that feur years ago hie supporters found it im­ possible not to devote a large part of their strength to defending him Instead ef adveeating Republican principles, and tbe same situation will confront us if be is again a candidate. We may resolve that we will not be drawn aside by sueh questions, and that we will make an aggressive can­ vass in behalf of tbe protection of American industries menaced by tbe advocates of English free trad" poli­ cies, but with Mr. Blaine as a candi­ date, we can not carry out this pre gramme. The opposition press and speakers will renew the attacks ujon Mr. Blaine's personal character and record, and they will need to be met and answered. Thus we will have repetition ef the disgusting and do- moralizing campaign or four years age, and not a contest turning upon questions of public policy. Tbe friends of Mr. Blaine may as well look the situation squarely In the face. Tbe time has come for plain speaking. The Republican pany does not exist fer tbe purpose of vin­ dicating tbe character ef individuals Neither dees it vindicate any man'e character by nominating bim for office and suffering a defeat. It has no lack of men suitablv equipped te fill the office ef President with dignity and honor, whose nomination will net di­ vert attention from the treat public issues of tbe day to wrangle over transactions In Little Rock bonds and whether Indiana juries can be trusted to render honest, verdicts. t WEAK PATTOC'S CK * V * I mmm RHEUMATISM a-jfisss making; organs to a tbe true remedy KIDNEY COMPLAINTS Faikk's tbe liver tindl curativ tonics ma EBB i< i kidney complaints.
