A VERY PROPER CANDIDATE.

The radicals of the l4th senatorial district,
composed of Mercer, Henderson, Warren
and McDonough counties, have q marvellous.
ly proper candidate in the person of Isaac
McManus, of Keithsburg, Mercer county.
We don't know Of q man who better illus
trates the principles of the radical party than
McManus does-unless it be Sickles, of Mo-
line, their candidate for representative from
this county. The Mercer County Press SAYS
McManus was democrat when the war
opened, that when he was recruiting he stat
ed to democratic friend in Keithsburg, in
explanation of his conduct
THAT the war was Rwar for plumber, and he
was going to have a hand in it if be could get
commission, but he would not 20 in the ranks! :"
McManus denied the above and asked for
proof whereupon the Press proved it, as fol.

| NHhus assert that the war was q war of plundsr
ana That he intended to hayehi share and make
The most Of 1t. That his family was uenniless

Iars per month, and that if he volunteered bs

keithsburg, Oct. 9Th, 1865
The Press says:
Every one who knows Mr.. and Mrs.
Doak, will accept their statements as con.
elusive against McManus. They are highly
respectable, truthful and intelligent persons,
short time before he enlisted, McManus
was school teacher in Mr.. Doak's neigh.
borhood and boarded in hi. family. Hence
the acquaintance Of these persons with Nc.
Manus.
But Mrs. Doak is not the ONLY witness

H. Mr.. NcManus can be overwhelmed with
testimony On this point. We choose, howev.
er, to rest with the evidence of Mrs. Dosk,
