GEN. SINGLETON.

Few men in Illinois are more widely or
favorably known than Gen. James W. Sin
gletop, the democratic candidate for con
press in this district. For thirty years he
has been identified with public affairs IN IL
Inois, and has more warm and enthusiastic
admirers and friends than, perhaps, any
other man in Illinois. Some yearS ago he
was one of the editors and proprietors OF the
Quincy Herald, and he is now one OF the
most talented writers and speakers IN Illinois.
But. long ago,he sold his interest in the Her.
aid and devoted himselfto the more congen'
ial pursuits of agriculture. by occupation he
il practical farmer, on large scale and an
extensive breeder Of fine stock, and his in.
terests are identified with the laboring and
producing classes in Illinois. There is not
a chopper Of cord wood, or laborer, or an
employee on any railroad or steamboat, or
"A farmer, or q business nan who knows
Gen, Singleton land they are numbered by
many thousandsl but will tell you he is an
honest, upright, intelligent, frank and manly
gentleman, and, among all these, hundreds
of republicans in this district will vote for
him. He is q democrat of the straightest
sort, but so great is their confidence in biz
honor and his patriotism that they will vote
for him whenever he is a candidate, no mat
ter for what office. AS strong a democrat
as he was, during Mr.. Lincolns administra'
ton no man of any party enjoyed so i'm
plcitly the confidence of that lamented
statesman Us did Gen. Singleton He is
emphatically the peoples candidate, the
farmers and laborers' friend, and when the,
come to see him and associate with him,an'
hear him speak, we are sure that, not ont
everv democrat, but large numbers OF re
pubicans will vote for him.

SHALL THIS THING CONTINUE

Shall the bondholders continue to receive
gold from the government, while the mass
of the people are compelled to put up with |
paper money! In what respect are BOND
holders better than other peOple2 ls 1t be-
cause thev are Rrstocratic, purse-proud,
wealthy2 Or is it because the radical party
have said that bondholders shall pay no tax
es that all the taxes shall be collected OIL
Of the poor workingmen Of the country
Can any radical politician in the country
give good reason why the bondholder
should be paid in gold and other people com
PEELED to take grecnbacks? Can any radi'
cal in the country give a good reason why
bondholders should pay no taxes, while ev'
ery poor man is taxed beyond his ability to
pay? Will any radical attempt to answer
these questions? Upon this subject, read
the following pointed and truthful article
from a recent number Of the State Reqister :;
"Why are thirty millions of white men
taxed for the special benefit OF a class who
paw no taxes on the great bulk OF their prop
erty?
The monstrous proposition that the indus
trial classes shall pay heavy taxes upon then
little property and upon what they eat drank
and wear, while another class mOneyed men
shall be exempt, is so heinous that one can
not state it with patience BondhoIders no
only insist that they shall be paid, principa
IA wall as interest, in gold, but that the
shall not pay tax upon their boarded wealth
The Injustice Of such system strikes tn
attention Of the most casual observer. II II
d, Inconsistent with the idea of common JUS
tce that one is tempted to believe no sucl
iniouity exists. And vet, over two thoussn
millions Of dollars, held by bondhoIders an

expenses Of government.
A man with a small homestead, consisting
OF a cottage and lot Of ground, pays his quo

conferred upon me by the convention 10
personal view il is the more gratifying 70
me that It was conferred during my absence
and without personal effort on my part.
Whilst remain at this place 1t can
scarcely be expected Of me to engage act
lively in the canvass although It Is my
wish and intention TO visit the county
prior to the election, and circulate
among the people as much as the limited
time at nv command will permit l must,
however, leave the matter principally in the
hands of my fellow citizens, which ! DO IN
full confidence that their eIertlons IN behalf
Of the ticket will be none the less energetic
in consequence Of my absence, and that ev'
erything will be done to ensure success
which can be reasonably expected.
The action Of the convention, in placing
me before the public as q candidate for OH
cial position, has, by this unexpected favor
laid me under renewed obligations to IN!
fellow citizens, and should this action b.
ratified at the November election, meet
scarcely add that l should zealously en-
deayor to discharge every duty pertaining

MR.. O'BRIEN, AND NIB. VAN EPPs, IN
MONMOUTH.

Last evening Wednesday, after the nomi'
nation Of Gen. Singleton for congress,
great mass ratification meeting was held IN
Monmouth, which we, in company with
several of our Rock Island county delegates,
attended. The meeting, after music by the
Monmouth band, was organized by calling
J. W. Davidson, Esq, to the chair. Mr.
Davidson made short but very effective
speech, aud then introduced Hon. VIM. h.
Van Epps, of Dixon, the democratic farmer
candidate for lieutenant governor, who ad-
dressed the meeting, for half an hour, in a
very calm, logical and interesting speech,
which was well received.
Mr.. O'Brien, the democratic thunderer,
and our candidate at large, for congress,
was then introduced and received with the
widest demonstrations Of applause. We
only had time to listen to half an hour of
Mr.. 0'Brien's speech before train time, but
our delegates who were so delighted with
his Springfield speech may be assured that
this far surpassed it. Johnny Logan will
soon have an opportunity 70 accept an invi
tstlon for joint discussions Or back down
and we long for the day when Billy O'BrieE
shall meet him on the stump. The people
will then get taste of true Irish wit, sar
casm and raiIlery as well as sound lOgica
argument-snd all couched in the choices
language, and delivered in the most capt.
waiting manner.
Mr.. o'Bnen promised US TO make on
speech in this county, during the campaign
due notice of which will be given, and o.
that day we predict the largest politics
meeting ever held 10 Rock island. -~

Harry Claw Dean.

Tho Sedalia Press objects to our Charac-
terizing Henry Clay Dean as "the Iowa
nuisance" Perhaps we should have said
one of the Iowa nuisauces. Doubtless this
blackguard, Dean, is man Of some con-
siderable ability in some ways; but We don't
like his style, and we find that most people
are Of our opinion about him. He is coz
tinually putting himself forward, trying to
sell his so-caled services to democratic
committees. His speeches are not demo
cratic, and they are not decent. Dean was
rebel sympathizer, and a coward. Now
be is nothing but blStherskite. His "Ns.
sistance" cost the democracy several hun
bred votes in New Hampshire last spring.
He wanted to try the same game in Con.
necticut, but the democrats had found him
out, and they drove him off. Let him re.
main in Iowa, where he aud men just like
him brought the republican majority from
s,OOOin 1856, up to $4,000 in 1860, and to
10000 in 1864, and would probably make
il nearly unanimous in 1868 if they would
only stay at home and make enough
speeches. 81. LouiS Republican.
