HEC0H1 CONGRESSIONAL DIS

was In tho Convention, and that lie made no
effort to be nominated, we give the best pos
sib1c evidence TINT, first, the nomination was
not regarded as worth having, and second,
that E. II. Hafuca WINS unanimously regarded
rs the most appropriate man In tho district
10 whom such nomination conid be given.
Mr. Uaines Is a gentleman Of considerable
Industry He well known to ctcry man
and corporation In Illinois and ont oft, who
ever had any business offs pccuniasy charac-
ter before the Legislature. Mr.. 'Hniucs
for several years represented Lake County Ia
the Legislature Of Illinois, and such was Its
zeal md his industry, his ca.ncstness and his.
ability. that VIC arc sure we express tho uni
rcrsal judgment Of the State when we declare
that no man ever obtained dollar from the
State Treasury, or obtained by charter or
otherwise any special privilege without tho
knowledge of Mr. Haiues. or without hia
consent. He Was the only Representative In
tho State who ever successfully batlled the
intrigucs Of special legislation. His accept
ancc Of nomination for Congress must, We
suppose, be accepted MS retirement on his |
part from the halls Of the State Legislature,
aud the lobby Of Illinois arc to know him no
more forever.
Dir. Haines, q number Of years ago, sought |
q position in Congress, for which his talents
so cmincntly fitted him. Finally when |
new district was formed, he gave way again |
Tor General Farnsworth, but we suppose he |
thinks now that hts forbcarance has been \
construed into an unwilliuyncss to 60 to
Washington, and therefore 1t was that he
md Moloney met at Elsin on Monday last
and declared Mr. uaines to be u candidate |
Tor Congress. 1
The fact that Congress voted themselves
four thousand additional from the National
Trcasury was very fcclingly denounced by
Mr.. lIaipes. The Legislature Of Illinois
never did anything Of that kind, Jet the
members lived. Members Of Congress should
not expect to be paid by the country. The
State docs moi tax the general public to pay
lawyers. doctors. or dentists; It lcaTcs each
mau who has my business with either of
these classes to pay lis lawyer, his doctor,
or his dentist for the services he may need.
The best and most attentive In any of these
| professions will, Us they sllould do, make the
| most money. Congress in voting salary
Of five thousand dollars to Its members,
reversed this rule; it put tho tax on the
whole community, instead Of leaving it to
those who need Congressional services.
There nrc men, in nll parts Of this country,
and VIC arc sure Nh. uaines could name some
in this State, who ure willing to 50 10 Con-
,rcss without any salary, and who would
never staryc,
Mr.. 1Iaincs, in his speech, was very justly
severe upon railroad rnonopolics, and the
people OF Chicago. who in times past lave
been the victims Of sEch nonopplics, some
of them chartered for nlncty-ninc years, will
