But we wish to urge upon the readers of the Plaindealer this one fact: Do not let party lines hold you so tight that you vote for an unscrupulous political ring, who have forced upon your ticket a man who is so notoriously lacking in ability as to disgrace the district. Show by your votes that you consider brains an essential qualification for the man who is to represent this banner Senatorial District in the lower house of our State Legislature, The sooner these ring bosses at the County seat are thught a lesson the better It will be for the people.

James Buchanan, to Con­ gress in 1857. when the Democrats con­ trolled the government: "In the midst of unsurpassed plenty in all the productions of American agriculture and in all the elements of National wealth, we find our manufactories suspended. Eyerv public work is re­ tarded and private enterprises are abandoned, and thousands of useful laborers are thrown out of employ­ ment and reduced to want. The reve­ nues of our government, chiefly de­ rived from duties on imports from abroad, have been greatly reduced. Under the circumstances a loan may be required before the close of your ses­ sion, but this although deeply to be regretted, would prove to be only a slight misfortune when compared to the suffering and distress prevailing among the people." John M. Palmer, Til# Democratic candidate for Governor, at a meeting held at Joliet Oct. 16th, was asked the following question by the editor of the Joliet Daily Press: Question.

There Is one striking feature about this campaign, remarked by us before '.hat the future chronicler cannot and will not Ignore the part General Ben­ jamin Harrison played in it. No nomi­ nee of any party ever grew so steadily In the estimation of everybody during an exolting campaign. General Har­ rison, well thought of at first, has marched from the round of mere respectable notoriety, to the top of the ladder of fame. There was never anything like It. He has not gone back a round nor has he for a day stood still. He has done all this upon merit. His life and character has been searched and studied. He has not been found wanting. Indeed, he has borne his side down, and has kept it down, by the weight of his own worth as a man. The steady growth of General Harrison in the hearts of the people is the great feature of the campaign of '88. J®"The "sons of veterans" In Indi­ ana, who cast their first vote for pres- dent this year, are shewn by a careful canvass to number about 60,000. Of these 40,000 are claimed to be Republi. caes. The canvass, both as to numbers and politics, has been made 60 clearlj that Republicans base much ot their confidence in the result on these "first voters." There are over 3C0 clubs throughout the State composed whollv of these voters, and on the gain from sonrce alone a good plurality for rison is counted on. Why They are Agalnit Him. The veteran soldiers and sailors of New York CItv have formed them­ selves into a Harrison and Morton brig­ ade, and have adopted aft their reason for so doing tbe following very terse and well put resolutions: We indorse the platform of the Re­ publican national convention. We denouace President Cleveland for vetoing soldiers, and sailors* pen­ sion bills. For wanting to return flags captured from the rebels in tlie war. For the free trade Mill's Bill. For having his cabinet and chief of-* fleers composed of rebel generals^ colonels and members of the Cobden club in England, who built the ship 990 or Alabama to/destroy our ships on the high se>asj' For buying blankets from England for the soldi jit's with the money of the Americanjffcople. We jeffie against him because Engl^pf'wants him elected. ishing to negotiate a treaty ngland to capture and return r political refugees. For awarding government contracts for dredging ship canals to an English syndicate for #1,200,000. For his methods of civil servloe re­ form . And we intend to vote against him en general principles. IfSf'Says Chauncey Depew: "I shall ba surprised if tin* Demeoratio candi­ dates get over 70,000 majority south of tbe Harlem River, including Kings, New Terk, Richmond, and Queens Counties. They generally count on over 80,000. They will miss this time. They calculate on a registry of 270,000 In New York. 1 tblnk the State will go to tbe Harlem River with 90,000 majority and carry the day by at least 2t,000 majority for Harrison and Morton. I never have heard careful political canvassers, whom I have known for twenty-five years, talk so confidently on the big figures of the vote to be expected In the counties."

Every bottle sold has given relief In every case. One man took six bottles and was cured of rheumatism of 10 years stand­ ing." Abraham Ilare, druggist, Belle­ ville, Ohio, affirms: "Tbobest selling medicine I have ever handled in my 20 years experience as a druggist, is Electric Bitters." Thousands of others have added their experience, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of] .the liver, kidneys or blood. Only a half a dollar a bottle at G. W.

Lawmjs, J ok® on • Democrat, Some wicked Republicans in a town In Kenebeo county, Maine, have been poking fun at Mr.sR--, a well known Democratic ft How-citizen. A few days ago, a Republican neighbor met R-- and asked bim If be had read Har­ rison's letter ot acceptance. "No, and what's more I don't want to," was the a,nswer. "Let me read you a few ex­ tracts," urged the Republican, apd thereupon he took Cleveland's letter from his pocket and read several selections with apparent enthusiasm.; The listener frequently interrupted with such exclamations as: 4,Great nonsense," "abject rot," '•outrageous; why a sensible dog would know better: than tLat. There is nothing square aboutjjlt. Its simply campaign bosh." When asked finally if he could not vote for a man who expressed such sen­ timents, emphatically responded:; "Vote for him? * No, I'll be banged if I would." When his Republican frienis meet R-- now,, they remark: "I hear you are not going to vote for Cleveland this fall," and it is noedlfi^ to say that It worries him.. : Auction Sale.
