Prosecuting Attorney.

Although the Democratic Convention of
this county had, with entire unanimity, RECON-
mended the nomination of Mr.. II. X. BOYLE
as candidate for prosecuting attorney of the
9th judicial circuit, and the vote of this county
was really majority of the circuit, Mr.. Boyle
felt unwilling to have his name placed in the
list of regular candidates until his nomination
should receive the approval of the democracy
OF the other counties Bureau and KendalD of
the circuit. This approval we are now happy
in being able to state, has been cordially given
by the democratic conventions of both Bureau
and Kendall counties. We therefore with
great pleasure place the name of Mr. Boyle in
the list of regular democratic candidates at the
head of our editorial columns.
We not only do this cheerfuly as a matter
of form, because Mr.. Boyle is thus the unan-
imous nominee Of the democracy of the 9th
judicial district for Prosecuting Attorney, but
we do it with the greater pleasure, because in
our honest belief no better nomination could
have been made. Mr.. Boyle is a young law
yer of very decided ability and of the strict
est and most scrupulous integrity. Very few
lawyers indeed starting out in their profess
sional career, have, in so brief a period made
so decidedly their mark as Mr.. Boyle. 1t
needs but the additional impulse which term
as Prosecuting Attorney would give him, to
give him secure position as one Of the fore
most practitioners in this part of the state.

County Politics.
WORTHWHILE.


The republicans in this vicinity have lately
been making great efforts to gs. up 3 political
demonstration. About week previous IN the
appointed time notices were posted that L. B.
Croker and one kinnie, both Of Mendoza, would
address the people of Worthwhile, Oct 18th.
The time arrived and with it goodlv mum.
Der Of people, large majority of whom were
democrats, quite filling the small school house,
In which the meeting was held. The meeting
WAS opened by chairman Wangler, and Mr.. Kim
ME introduced as frs. speaker, who spoke about
an hour, saying nothing worthy If notice.
Croker was then introduced, and judging
from bis appearance, style OF rhetoric and pro-
nunciation, concluded he had recently taken
advantage VI the great reduction in the price of
the 'favorte leverage to which he so often al
iuded IN his speech. However prelu.ory he
enumerated Us affecting him, tho list of physical
infrmities, such as rheumatism, bad Geld. mem
ralgia, &c. and then proceeded 70 divert the au.
dience with series of sublime anecdotes in de-
risiye reference to negro equality, which no doubt
was particularly agreeable to the ladies' Lastly he
took up the great republican terror, the bend
question, and attempted to impress his hearers
with the idea that if bonds were taxed, as a nee.
essary consequence, lands must DO taxed also,
which would bring butter up to higher figure
than it has already attained. This constituted
his financial theory. The speaker did not seem
to be aware that the right OF suffrage had not
yet been conferred upon the ladies nor boys un.
der twenty-one year. of age, for his last appeal
was to the ladies and the tanners composed prin-
cipally of juvenies to east their votes for Grant
and "Culfax'-probably meaning Colfax. The
meeting was upon the whole great republican
fat-out. DANIEL.

Whatever may be the reason, the Republican
masses of La Sale County won't enthuse. After
three weeks of intense effort to get up big
mass demonstration ut Marseilles on Thursday,
the thing was nearly dead failure. We are
positively assured that the crowd at no time
exceeded 600 people; while in spite of the
fact that free dinner was offered them, less
than $50 tanners were present. The evening
procession, including tanners, ladies in wagons

WON'T ENTHUsE. Gen Grant, within the
past few weeks has been "ruralizing" in st.
Louis and Chicago, but creates no kind of
sensation wherever he may go. How differ
ent would it be were Gov Seymour to visit
either OF those cities The truth is, the radi-
calls dread being Tyerized, and the more mod
crate republicans remember Grants Sunday
performances in front of a church in Washing,
ton, as testified to by Theodore Tilton, and
don't enthuse over him worth cent.
The people are looking for a statesman of
pure character to take the helm of the state
and they think Grant is not the man.
