Our County Ticket,

Oui time has been so much taken up with
fair matters this week, and our space so
much occupied, that we are unable to give
that Attention to our county election matters
that wc have wished to. With men confess
cdly not only unexccptionabc but OF great
solid merit on our ticket, our democratic
friends should bear in mind that there is al
so duty to perform to the cause. There is
no intelligent democrat but must see that if
the purity is true to itself we can elect our
tickctwita ease. We have everything to
encourage and to incite us. The democracy
of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland, &C.,
have st us noble example, and if we are as
faithful to the cause as they have been, we
shall eIually triumph. After such victories,
it would be shameful to suffer defeat here.
Notonly have we states abroad to cncou-
rage u, but at home we have had victories.
Have We forgotten the triumph but few days

Destructive Fire nj BLOOMINGTON.

An extra from the Office Of the Blooming
ton flag Of Wednesday morning gives the
particular Of terrible conhagraton in that
city on the previous night, which destroyed
property estimated to amount to $50 900.
The fire commenced in the Livery Stable at
tachcd to the Morgan House, situated on the
east side of Centre street, between Wash
ington and Front streets, in the block south
OF the public square, and spread north and
south, entirely destroying all the buildings
on the whole block, except the buildings Of
the Mclean County Bank and the building
Of Mcssrs. Dietrich & Bradner, occupied by
then for Hardware store.
The losses include two printing Offices,
ttha Of the "7ims," and Of the Panta-
grdlh,) hotel, a number Of dry goods
stors, drug stores, Offices, DC. 4 number
Of the buildings destroyed were fine, three
storr brick. The fire was the more destruc
tive on account of great scarcity of water
in tie city with which to cxtingusl it. The
Flag states, however, that large portion
of the losses are covered by insurance.
