We preenppoM the fad that every Intelligent and thinking citizen has, by thl> time, surveyed the political iC; field! and the many questions of public import to be determined at the ap- tV; ;i" pro soiling November election, with a ||ife'l£itiiicere determination to oast his vote with that party which seems to him to bett represent the hopes and desires "*':M of & common country, and which, through its candidates and avowed policy, is best fitted to manage the aS&lrs of State to the benefit of the greatest number. This should be the first duty of those who exercise the right of suffrage, nor should they be so blinded by partisan prejudices that a clear view cannot be taken upon " every question discussed, even though Jlr the balance of judgment should fall ^ . against the party of former choice. it has been stated by not a few dem- ^^;v'Ocratic oraters and editors that there fl;; v Is no real difierence between the prin- f';A ciples advocated by that party and $ those advocated by Republicans. They §.insist that the dividing line falls upon S. X a theory of industrial policy, which their candldade for the Presidency H eight years age avowed to be a "local |rquestion," and that the main ground |/ work and principles ef both parties f' are the same. It May be reasonably t' , doubted whether they are sincere In fir? this declaration, and students of polit- Pf- , ical history will not be slow in seeing that this is a plausable rase to catch , the votes of careless citizens, and those * who a^ow their party leaders te think , ? for them opon all questions ef a politi- ;> cal nature. Republicans maintain that - there is a difference of principle out- 'A>>\ side of the great industrial problem, 1^5' which, ef itself, is of sufficient impor- tiSm. fS vlnce any fair minded man that there is a radical difference in principles between the two parties. This differ­ ence should {decide the question for every citizen who believes in the suc­ cess of American institutions, wise statesmanship, and a free government ^or^e people. r-~ ' The Legislative Question; By request of several in this Dis­ trict we re-publish the fallowing facta and figures on the I.ftglslativo Ques­ tion. which we first published In these columns in our issue of June 6th yj ̂ £ NUTS FOB WEAK-KNEKS TO CRACK. As those who are opposed to the running of three Republican candi­ dates tor the Legislature in this Dis­ trict are continually oiting the year 1886 to prove that it is dangerous to the Republican Party, we have taken pains to look up the figures of that year, and take pleasure In presenting them here for the edificatfon of these stickers for old "customs." At the election of 18S6 the kepubli- eau candidate for State Treasurer re­ ceived C 590, the candidate for Super* ihteudent of Public Instruction 6,601 votes, and Hon. A. J. Hopkins, for Member of Congress 6,620 votes, In the counties of Lake. Boone and McHenry. If we take the average of those votes we have 6,603, which it is fair to as sumo was the number of Republican voters who voted that day. Hud these voters divided their votes between Mr, Fuller and Mr. Pat ridge, and not wandered off after Btrange Gods, the aggregate vote would have been 19309, but their total vote was only 15773 showing a loss of 4030 votes. Now what became of these 4030 Re­ publican votes? The men who cast them weroat the polls that day. Did they go home and not vote for Legis­ lative Candidates? Let us see. The average of the Democratic vote shows that 338S voters were at the polls that day. They could cast for Legislative candidates only 10164 votes. The Walte and Haines vote was 13651, or a gain of 3487 votes. If we had put up three men two years ago what would doubtless have been the result? We should mos; certainly have saved those 4030 votes, which were given either to Mr. Haines or Mr. Walte. This would have reduced their vote just 2015 each, on the theory that the Republican votes were divided equally between them. (There Is no doubt however, but that Walte received a larger part, owl ng to Itfr. Partridge's personal efforts in his behalf.) Deduct from Walte's vote of 7214, one-half oi the Republican loss and we have 5199 votes 1404 votes less than the number of Republican's at the polls that day. as shown by the State vote. Does It not look, in the face of all these figures that we have the best chance in the world to elect three men? Please keep In mind that in 1884 Blaiue received some 8400 votes, or 1897 more thau were cast for the' State tioket in 1S86, and that Cleve­ land received some 4100 votes, which is only 712 votes more than was oast for the Democratic State ticket in 1S86, showing that we can increase our vote this year over the vote of 1886 very much more than the Democrats. With these facts before them we challenge the Ring candidates or their friends to Bhow one valid reason why the Republicans of this District should be compelled, by the cowardice of leaders, to repeat this year #the folly Of 1886. OFFMM tO OUR MBJLDXBS. Gen. Sheridan is dead. He breathed his last at 10 o'clock on Sun­ day night. .Thus one by one the gal­ lant defenders of the Union are cross­ ing the silent river to answer the roll call on the other shore. Truly a Nation has cause to mourn. it':- tance to decide the present contest. ^ The record of each Is an open book | for the inspection of all. Read it by - the light of history and events and the difference will become startlingly apparent. * The democratic party was entrusted s with power four years ago upon the i, strength of promises made by Presi­ dent Cleveland, and endorsed iby bis party, that the abuses that they claimed existed in the government as then administered, should be correct* ed; their motte was *a public ofBoe Is a ( public trust," and Mr. Cleveland was held up aB a model of sturdy honesty and rigid integrity, who, though an embryo statesman, would Inaugurate an era of reform which would be the wonder of the century. That was four years ago. Have these promises been kept? Have referma been inaugura­ ted? Is President Cleveland the honest statesman that he was repre­ sented to be? If these questions can be answered in the affirmative, then the present administration deserves a new lease of power; if uot it merits defeat and will receive in Voters study with care the hiatory of our government since the inaugura _ ^'*D °' the Cleveland administration. Hote the whining servility of England displayed in the fishery treaty, tho f blundering stupidity of the rebel flags order, the President's Message declar- ing for free trade, and its consequent Injury to American labor and com •erce, and the Mills Tariff bill, passed by a democratic House of Representa­ tives. Take this aggregate, of blunders, compare Its record with that of any ; Republican administration from Lin- •ele to Arthur, and the result will con The butter market at Elgin, III. Monday was active, sales ranging from 18$ to 19 cents, principally at the former figure, total sales being 92,009. BSr*So long as the third party fought the saloons and tiie drink trafie, Rev. Aaron Gurney was in hearty sympathy with them, but when to serve mere party ends its orators and papers tra­ duce and slander a good Christian man like General Harrison and praise a man with the personal character, habits and antecedents of Grover Cleveland, he says in the Springfield News he can but be ashamed of his eld associates. J&'President Cleveland did right when he vetoed a bill pensioning a deserter. But one Armstrong, who deserted from the Union army at Bull Run and served afterward in the Con federate army. Is one of President Cleveland's Indian Inspectors. How Is that? The line as to pensions and as to appointments ought to be drawn at deserters. S^The Irish World puts it neatly Cheapness," it says, "is the bait that they hold out to catch voters. The wage-worker Is to work all tho year for cheap wages, that be may buy once a year a cheap suit of clothes. When hejeomes to compare what he has saved by that operation we don't believe he will be very much elated over his pro­ fits. KKPUBLIOAN OAIMM, The States usually referred to ae ' doubtful" are largely manufacturing States, and evidence comes trom all of them that the free-trade issue of tbta campaign Is bringing Into the Republi­ can ranks great numbers of Democrats 4vho are dlgustod with the President a mN^itgo and the Mills bill. The follow, lng irte among the most conspicuous: Hon^Jonatuju Scoville, of Baffalo^ N. Y„ one of the most Influential and popular Democrats In Western New York. Wm. H. Grace, a prominent ujember of the First Ward Democratic Associ­ ation, in Brooklyn, whom the free- trade tendencies of his party have driven into the Republican fold. Hon. Wm. L. Van Aistyne, a Demo­ cratic ex-Mayor of Troy, N. Y.» says that be will not vote for Cleveland; he doesn't like the free-trade platform, but believes In protection and is pleas­ ed with the Republican ticket. Pierce Kane, a manufacturer, and a brother of the late Congressman Kane from Albany County, N, Y., says he has never voted anything but the Democratic ticket, but if he lives until next November, he will vote for Har­ rison, aud thinks most of his employee will d > the sime. Wm. E. Hagan, of Troy, N. Y„ says he worked for Cleveland four years ago, but will not vote for him tlite year, as ho does not believe in free- trade, He is pleased with the Repub­ lican ticket. Adolph Staude, a prominent manu­ facturer (Troy, N.Y.) says: "1 voted for Cleveland four years ago, but I am now for Harrison and protection * * I have lived to see what protection means; I know what European wages mean. If we should ever come to free- trade and European wages In this country, God help the , workingmen. The Repuftlic&n ticket suits the G,er^ mans." ! O. F. Burtis, of the stove firm oft, Burtls & Mann, Troy, N. Y„ says he* has never yoted for a Republican President, but the issue now is free- trade or protection. Cleveland re­ presents free-trade and Harrison protection. He will, therefore, vote for Harrison and be knows many Dem­ ocrats who are opposed to free-trade who will do the same. He adds: "I believe Harrison and Morton will carry New York, Connecticut and New Jersey." In addition to the above list we have the names of J. H. Wade, the wealthiest man in Cleveland, Presi­ dent of the Valley Railroad and of the Cleveland Rolling Mill, and ex-Con­ gressman Warner, formerly a Demo­ cratic Representative from Ohio. The list of such changes Is already long and It is rapidly increasing. It may be that Cleveland will carry the "solid South," but it begins to look as though the whole North will go for "Harrison and protection." *'. * as# 1^1 am a high tariff man and a pro tectlonlst, and for the reason that I am an American and a friend of American labor. No working man has ever called for a reduction, and no reduction should be made until it is demanded by the people. We need no tariff tinkering.

In addition to his being the author of the plank 1b the Democratic peace plat­ form which declared the war to be a failure, fourteen years afterward he ^>ut himself on record in the Senate as a sympathizer with Jeff Davis In his efforts to defeat the amendment ex­ cluding Davis in tha bill pensioning Mexican War veteraos. In bis speech at that time he said: I am instructed by my Legislature to support granting pensions to the soldiers of the Mexican War. I do not read anywhere in these instruc­ tions that I am to except Mr. Jefferson Davis, nor do I see in their spirit that It is the opinion of the General Assem> biy of the State of Ohio that the pun­ ishment of the people or the South ought to be vicarious in the person of Jeitergoa Davis. I do not see any­ where in those instructions that It is the desire of the people of the State or Ohio to single out Jefferson Davis and make him a martyr, while other men who went quite as far as he did are not only not punished but received into the highest stations of this Gov­ ernment. It was this speech and others «f a similar nature delivered by the Briga­ diers in the Senate that brought out old Zach Chandler's ringing reply, at the close of which he hurled this red- hot bolt Into their astonished ranks: Sir, eighteen years ago last month 1 sat in these halls aud listened to Jefferson Davis delivering his farwell address informing us what our consti­ tutional duties to this Goveruraent were, and then be left and'entered in­ to the rebelliou to overthrow the Gov erment that be had sworn to support 1 I remained here, sir, during the whole of that terrible rebellion. I saw our brave soldiers by thousands and hun­ dreds of thousands, aye, I might say millions, pass through to the theatre of war, and 1 saw their shattered ranks return; I saw steamboat after steam­ boat and railroad train after railroad train {arrive with the maimed and the wounded; 1 was with my friend from Rhode IslaHd when he commanded the Army of the Potomac, and saw piles of legs and arms that made humanity shudder; I saw the widow and the or­ phan in their homes, and heard the weeping and wailing of those wbo had lost their dearest and their best. Mr. President, I little thought at that time that I should live to bear in the Senate of the United states eulogies upon Jefferson Davis, living--a living Rebel eulogized on the floor ef the Senate of ttie United States! Sir. am amazed to hear it; and 1 can tell the gentlemen on the other side that they little know the spirit of the North when they come here at this day, and with bravado on their lips utter eulogies upon a man whom every man, woman, and child In the North believes to have been a double-dyed traitor to his Government. Old Zach has gone. Davis still lives, and Thurman hopes to be elected by the Solid South, As a matter of grati­ tude he should have its support, but he may find next November that although the loyal old Mlchigander has gone his spirit Is abroad in the North.
