Who is James Ihoringion .


As quite a number of the Wing Journals are
Roubtless ANXIOUS to know who it is tina. the
parry has nominated FOR Congress in this Dis
trict, we are authorized to state that his name
is neither Taoring as soma have t,or ThorRing-
ton as Others have it, but Thorngton as We
write it.
How he stands on the Nebraska" we can
not say. Like many olher politicians over in
Scott, however, he will stand to "suit the
times,' without regard to "antecedeu,s.' OF
private opinions.
On the Temperance question he is thor
ough Price man. by which We mean that Ten
perance is sometimes made hobby whereup-
upon to ride into office, that there is set oil
men in his particular locality who are accus
toned to thi, sort of moral equcstranism. and
that he is member of the Troupe" judging
from the records of the past.
In political greatness, lie resembles Genera
Scott. who wisely held on to his military office
during the Presidential campaign, founding
hospitals &C. Thus, Mr.. Harrington wisei,
holds on to Il e Cerkship of Scott, in view o
the uncertain chances Of election.
In conclusion, he is very DESTROYS Of "dan
cling" with Gov. Hampstead.

Our Candidates on the Alert.

Mr.. BATES, our Candidate for Governor, and
Mr.. HALL, recently nominated for Congress at
Charlton, have entered in good earnest upon a
thorough canvass Of the First Congressional
District, commencing at Troy in Davis county,
and eading at Fort Madison in Lee.
The silence of Mr.. BATES. hitherto, has excl.
ted considerable animadverson from the Wing
party and won for him the awful cognomen OF
the "mum candidate" not because the train.
bearers of NJ. Grimes desired meeting and
have been disappointed thus far in that, bit
simply because they wanted a handle to work
upon and never dreamed that Mr.. Bates would
venture upon the tumultuous scenes Of stump
oraiory 10 this they are disappointed indeed,
and may now anrpadvett with a greater show
of reason, upon the aspect which the campaign
begins to assume. An animadversion has now
arisen which will not cease Defines, but gath
ering cumulative strength, explode in the
groans Of defeat next August.
Whether Mr. CLARKE, the "brother of Grace
Greenwood" and Wing nominee for Congress,
will meet Mr. HALL, or whether he places his
iacipal reliance on this distinguished rela
ship remains to be AT any rate mel

Our Political Friend Who Doesn't Really Know
and Can't Tell.

One Of the queerest specimens of our ac-
quaintance is the honest old fellow who, when
INTERCEPTED on whatever subject you will, no
matter wether it be trAing or profound, after
little thought, invariably remarks, "Well
well, really don't know; can't tell" or
course he don't know, and ASA redy he can't
tell he is a member of the Noncommttais; he
will not know: he won't tell; it is not his pol
icy. He began the use Of this irresponsible ex :
preston when quite a boy, and from that tis1
up 20 the present and he now an d

upon any topic of discussion.
But don't know and cant tell have done
every thing for him among his people. They
have triumphantly pointed to his past career.
and asked any one to put finger upon an un
righteous deed of his or willfu, wrong, and
no one has been able to do it. And thus in
political caucuses; after all she other candi-
dates have run over the course, and have been
condemned ON account Of antecedents. old
Don't-know and Can't-tell has trotted proud

In the days Of indefinite things, that style Of
politi elan was wonderfully successful bn, now
the time Of definite ground and decisive men
has arrived, and our ancient honest friend is
left in the rear. But though he grows less and
less positive every day, and endeavt rs to know
and tell less, mis- political prospects grow none
the brighter, and we are afraid he will never
reach Washington in any capacity excrp,
that of private citizen. But then We can,
tell, we don't Ennw, yet We surmise that III.

The Nominations.

JAMES H. COVER, having been returned as
the Democratic nominee for the Lower House
Of the next General Assembly, we take plea
sure in placing his name upon our ticket, and
feel confident that he will be vigorously sup
ported and triumphantly elected.
Mr.. GowEa is one of our most stirring, ener-
petic and substantial business men; a man who
has stood aloof from the strife of parties and
can never be tainted with having sought office
in the county, although as Democrat he is
true, unflinching and in every way worthy OF
the support and confidence of his party.
His sound, practical views, his untilng en-
erpy, aud his tried Democracy are, to US, good
aud sufficient guarantees that the county OF
johnson will find in him faithful and able
Represen Native, in whose eye the interests Of
the county at large in all questions OF a general
nature, will be paramount to every selfish or
partizan consideration.
HrsRY FELKsER is one Of the Oldest residents
in this region Of couutry, and the worth OF his
character and his fitness in all other respects
for the office of the county Clerkship, can new
er be brought in question by those who have
knowa him longest and most intimately.
We PREDICT for Mr. FELKSER heavy vote and
the unanimous strength Of his party.
Gro W. CLAkK, nominee for Prosecuting At
torney, is esteemed highly in this county as
LAWYER, and will doubtless make an efficient
nficer, and execute his obligations to the par.
ty. in thorough and faithful performance OF
duty.
