A OO-'S Kewipuper Advertising r«itl wh ere advertising YORK SpruM Street u; be it la *rx. , a V" m The Legislative Question Again. The PU*INDEAX.ER early In the cam­ paign, took the position that the Re- publlaans of this district could eleot three members of the Legislature, owlog to dlvlsiou In the Democratic Tanks, which resulted In the candidacy of Hon. E. M. Haines and Dan Flavin. We proved by the vote cast In 1882, <•4 and "86 that it was Impossible lor the opposition to elect either of their candidates w&ea they divided their vote. We now propose to analyze the vote just cast and see how it stands, In order to show to our readers that are were correct, and had our advioe been followed this district would now ' * occupy the proud position of being the banner Legislative district of the State of Illinois. Hon. CharUs B. Fuller, as candidate lor senator, received 8,272 votes. Southworth and Partridge have a total of 23,195; showing that they ran behind their ticket 1,621 votes. Flavin bad 6,968 votes and Haines 1$ 7.168. Now no sane man will claim for a moment that any Republican votes went to Flavin, but all know that the 1,621 which Southworth and Partridge lacked went to Haines. Let us take the Flavin vote of 6^968 and add it to tin Haines vote of 7,152, less the 1,621 Republican votes, and di­ vide the result by three, a?d we have 4,188 as the Democratic vote of the district. (Compare this with the of­ ficial vote and eee how near we are.) Add to the Southworth--Partridge vote these 1,621 and yon have 24,816 as the Republican vote of the district. This would give three candidates 8,272 votes each, or 1.304 votes more than Flavin, and Haines would have had but 5,531, or 2,741 votes less than the Republican candidates would have each received. But some will say that Mr. Haines would have got a large Republican vote in any case. Well, what of it ? Take the Bouthworth and Partridge vote of the 6th Inst, and di­ vide it among three candidates, it would give them 7,731 each, or 579 ypftee more than Haines had, even with his 1,621 Republican votes. These are facts and figures, and any man can satisfy himself as to their accuracy by comparing then with the official vote. All this goes te show that South- worth and Partridge are entitled to the Blue Ribbon as the biggest politi­ cal hogs in this district, Sinoe writing the above we have re­ ceived the official vote, and the figures above given only vary 27 votes from the actual count. A" W' 19* We hear some of our Demo­ cratic friends say, "Tammany Hall did it." Well, all we have to say is, .that If Tammany Hall did it, it is about the flr»t real good thing that they ever did do. Mfr" The sum of $100 was deposited In a Hartford, (Conn.) bank in 1824, and never drawn out, while the per­ son who placed It there has been dead for several years, The heirs to the money, who recently learnd of Its ex­ istence, will receive, besides the prin­ ciple ever 92,500, representing the ac­ crued interest. WSf The signs of the timet read thusly: Red bandannas te be used only fer blowing purposes. Mugwumps to the rear; the stars and stripes to the masthead. Loyalty at a premium. The British Lion will take a back seat, and General Ben. Harrison will take charge of the White House in March. Dakota will be permitted to come In among her sisters and not be kept out in the cold any longer. So "what's the matter with Harrison.' 19* The Harvard Independent says Hon. H. S. Williams informs us that the rat^ofxtaxatlon in Illinois this year, as adjusted by the board of equal!^atien, is only 44 cents on the hundr&cfdoll&r^. IK IS nine cents less on the hundred dollars than the rate of last year. This knocks the prop out of John M. Palmer's buncombe about reducing the 53 cent rate of tax* atlon. The Republican party has al­ ready adjusted that matter to the sat­ isfaction of reasonable men. After the SMtte. The political battle ls over. The victory is for the Republicans. Har­ rison and Morton are elected and the American Idea of protection Is vindi­ cated. The result Is one that every Intelligent citizen, who has the good of his country at heart, should rejoice. It indicates that, the nation will be given a safe and aggressive, though cautious administration after the 4tb of next March, and is a chilling re­ buke to the ponderous conceit of Pres­ ident Cleveland and his party. It 1s a great triumph of the people over dem­ agogue statesmanship and boodle politicians, and proves beyond a doubt that free trade is not wanted in the United States. It has been a Waterloo for the Dem­ ocrats--a defeat from which they can­ not expect to railv. The next Congress will be Republican in both branches, which will mean the admission of Dakota and other new states, and an' Increased vote and strength for the Re* publican party. It'toeaoa the dissolu­ tion of the Solid £outh as a political factor, and, as a consequence, the weakening and disintegration of the Democracy. But let Damocracy go; it will not be missed; and the country will still live, prosperous and free.

Fuller to speak to trfe Republicans at their last grand Rally In this village on Monday evening, Nov. 5th, as ad­ vertised, wss a disappointment to his many friends here, but a previous en­ gagement to speak at Marengo, was the rause. A few unprincipled and lying sneaks undertook to make a little capital eut of it on election day, but like a boomerang, it reacted upon its authors. The following from the Marengo Republican of Saturday last proves where Mr Fuller was on the evening stated, and that what we laid at the slme was true: The Republican Rally on Monday evening, despite the darkness and rain was a complete success. Hon. Chas. E. Fuller addressed an audience that filled the Opera Heuse from rostrum to gallery. His address occupied an hour and a half, and was one of the clearest, most forcible speeches made here during the campaign. He held the undivided attention of his audi­ ence throughout and was frequently and rapturously applauded. WAs we briefly noticed laat week, the dirty sneaks who control the columns of the Cleveland and Flavin organ, at Woodstock, undertook to make capital for their gasping candi­ date lor the Legislature at our ex­ pense. As we said last week their charges were cowardly lies, made out of whole cloth, but thought then, as we do now, that any denial of charges made by these mud slingers was un­ called for as they would not be believed under oath, even by mem­ bers of their own party. But as this lie was so bare-faced we had a mind to show them up In their true light, but remembering our rule not to strike a cripple, a fool, or an enemy when down, we refrain for tbe present. But we may in the near future give them a bit of history that will not set well on their stomachs. Stand from under. tBP Butter was active en the Elgin, 111.
