nave the malCOuteutS OF tnc NepuO'

folly Of their unsophistication, dared A.
sumo the control Of the party nominations
What supreme folly Time and time ana
again within the past few years We have
adm onished those who assume to put their
bits into their masters mouth and drive
him subservient to their will, and have eve
rything along the political track in their
own way the abject folly Of such aspirations.
We have told you over and over that you
have MASTER, and that MASTER is perfectly
able to control you every tune he puts forth
his powerful hand. Why can't you take
sound advice, and stand quiet in your hsf
ness pulling when your driver cracks his
whip, and "gee up" and "hau to- as ne
pulls the lines-taking things as they come
and asking no questions. We know that
our advice was good-wc know that hiram
Price is the absolute dictator to the Repub-
lcan party Of Scott county-before whom
not mothers son Of you can successfully
stand up and oppose-we have told you
so-you have seen our words proven again
aud again-why will you not heed what We
say:
You are in pretty condition to day, ~
not listening to US. You attempted to grasp

master, yesterday, but to-day you lay scat

you when he encountered the mutinous
crowd. Some of you have passed the po-
litical "dead line" and have been politically
shot killed-forever laid out from this
time forward Deny it as you may, you
can't dodge thetact.
We have no sympathy for you in the
least. You had no business whatever TO
make an assault upon man who has more
political strength in his little finger than
you can master in all your musinous ranks.
Again we confess to an admiration Of the
power, the uDyielding energy Of that man

has it, and, when necessary, he exercises
it, and when he goes among his subordi.
mates and announces his will and pleasure.
We know it is to be done-peacably If NAV
bc-forcibly if there be opposition.
Not man among opposition candidates
finds his name in the official lists to- day
not a man of them is eligible to office in this
county for the next ten years, should Mr.
Price live, unless through clemency through
pardon most pcnltently sought for. Mark
it! You can continue to vote, but your
ballots must be cast for such men as are
nominated for you. Il may bee little irk-

cause Calling and maddening irritation
but you must stand to the rack Your fate
is to be ruled, and he who assumes to rise
superior to fate is fool.
Will you be quiet now? We think you
will. The lash has been soundly and round
ly applied-but you earned the castigation,
and now accept your fate, and content your
selves to serve faithfully and with humility
becoming your humble degree.
A POPULAR koAp. OF all the railroads in
TIM United States or Canada, none from the
West to e.East, is 80 deservedly popular as
the Great Western Railway. The Eastern
terminus being at Suspension Bridge aud Nj
agara Falls, OF course thousands travel over
this road to see these wonders of nature and
art. Everything is done by the managers of
this railway to conduce to the comfort and
pleasure Of the travelling public. During the
war which has now so happily closed, the
Great Western Railroad, in connection with
the Michigan Central, has responded nobly
to the calls Of the Sanitary Commission and
other kindred organizations, for free trans
portati ON for soldiers who have been sick and
wounded and penniless, great numbers Of
| whom have been sent over those roads,
The fact that there is but one change of cars
| to be made on these roads from Chicago to
Suspension Bridge, that the carriages by
night and day are luxurious, and the roads
| always smooth, has led to more frequent calls
| on these roads for invalid soldiers than on
any other East. In no one instance, where
worthy cases have been presented have these
roads refused to grant the patriotic charity
asked VI them.
