DESPERATE CASE OF LYNCHING IN f.
LINoIs.-Thursday last, at Beardstown, Illinois.
man named Wilcox entered q saloon kept by
feer q Becker, and in Q squsbble drew q
revolver and shot Yeer dead. He then turned
and fired at Becker, indicting an ugly and
dangerous wound. The murderer was arrested.
On Friday Yeer was buried, and there was a
large gathering at Beardstown. Just after dusk
. crowd Of fully live hundred gathered at the
Jail, entered, and seized prisoner whom they
supposed to be the murderer, got a rope around
his neck. and then discovered that they had the
wrong man. In the meantime the murderer,
who was in another cell and chained to the floor,
was made aware of the designs of the mob. He
got possession of an iron bar, and a. the leaders
of the mob proposed TO open the cell door, he
warned them that he would sell his life dearly.
This resoiute demeanor produced q change Of
action, but did not defeat the purpose Of the
leaders. A pistol shot through the head of the
murderer killed him. The body was taken out
Of doors and hung by the neck to q tree.

Portrait Of Radical Conglessman.

We invite our readers to look at this por.

strong radical, republican newspaper. We

be republican or demrcrat, with the assur-
ance that there is not republican congress

much better, while there are some who are
worse
In the latter list is unquestionably John \.
Logan candidate tor congressman at large
and United States Senator. The Register, un-
willing longer to support Farnsworth, says:
We know him as a man of such hideous I'm.
ciernness OF private character as, stripped of his
Official patronage, no decent man having due
regard for the purity of his family, would invite
to his house; we know. by his own admission,
that under the cloak of patriotism, he defrauded
the government during the dark days of the re.
bellion, that he might put money in bis own
purse. We know that he has battered and sold
and hawked about the federal Offices Of the di..
trict in manner which even Tammany Hall
itself would blush at. We know tina. be soupb,

We could not deh!e our columns with, we have
earnestly and eonscientiously opposed thi, COR.
rupt and dishonest man for the last five wears.

county. Believing all that We have charged
against him, We retract nothing; but in view Of

The Tariff.

1t is the policy of the republican party to
enforce high protective tariff, entirely for
the ''nabobs" of New England. Although the
Logans and Cooks will claim that they desire
tariff for revenue only, which, as they in
terpret 1t, means that which will bring the
greatest revenue out of the tax payer, they
nevertheless vote for all the outrageous high
tariff enormities tina. any New England or
Pennsylvania monopolist has desired. Mr.
COOK, IN reply tn a question propounded to
him by Mr.. Grover, at Earlville. week ago,
admitted point blank that he did vote for
Schneck's monstrous tariff bill Here we have
Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Logan on the stump pro.
tossing to oppose protective tariffs and in
congress regularly voting for them. Here
are some of the direct results of Schneck's
tariff. tor which these radical congressman vo-
ted, Remember, to5, that this tariff law
yields the government no revenue The diff
ference in the prices of the articles below goes
out of your pocket, Mr.. Tax payer, and di-
rectly INTO the strong boxes and safes of the
monopolist, Read these items:
In 1853, under moderate tariff the price of
of pair of mems stout boots was "a 40: a, tho
present time, under an extravagant tariff, the
same boots cost $3.50.
The exports of American manufactured cot.
ton goods in 1860 under low tariff, were four
times great as in 1863.
The export of wooden fabrics of American
make has declined, within the last fiscal wear
sixty per cent-amountng in the aggregate to
but 100000; while Great Britun, under free
trade, exported in the same year $l29, 600 600.
The export of boots and shoes in 1868, was
S1.329, goo; in 1869, it had declined to $475,-
$50.
In Massachusetts, . more persons were crowd.
ed into each 100 houses than in 1861.

in New York it will buy but four-s,xths of

One hundred bushels of wheat will buy in

The radical republicans in congress, such as
Logan, Cook and all others of that marty

democratic congressman. informs us that
"there is something like cart load of bills

as Cook, Farnsworth, Logan, Merriam & Co.

Another" from the La Sale Press

Reddick wants republicans to vote for him,
because he says be could vote for republican for
=. s. Senator; and be claims that democrats
should vote for him because he declares that he
would not, under any circumstances, vote for a
republican for that position.
The above from Cooks "yallcr dog " of the
fress,ls about as true as anything else that pa
per has published about Mr. Reddick or Mr..
Avery or any other democratic candidate
1t is simply and wholly untrue that Reddick
has SAID he ''would not, under any circum-
stances, vote for republican. On the con-
trary, MIR. Rcddick expressly declared, in his
speech accepting the nomination Of the sena-
atorial convention at Pontiac that he would
vote for any good republican in preference to
Logan.

Badly Scared

are strong indications that Cook, its master.
from whose hands it gets crumbs to eat, and
bones to gnaw, will be beaten by julius
avery. In order to make show Of serving
its master, it banks, snarls and growls at
Avery every week. There is no manner of
malice and contemplate little meanncss to
which it will not resort IN abuse Of Mr. Avrr,.
and no praise too fulsome to lavish upon Cook.

thus, it appears from actual official sources,
about which there can be no controversy, that
the present administrat ion received in trust for
the people, for the year end ing Jane 30. 1870, of
their hard earned money, the sum of 1913, 645,-
G37 80.
In addition to this they received 100000
QUO or so tor the sale of ships and government
property of no further USE
Also some S355,OO0 conscience money. from
some few army contractors ana other radicals,
1t is fact worthy of note, that none of
these sums is in any way accounted for: and
what became of this vast amount, which to.
Sether with other little trihes, make about
one hundred millions of dollars
TO offset these vast amounts, we must give
Grants administration credit for:

Wholly and totally unaccountcd for.
BY the foregoing, it will be seen that it
costs nearly three hundred millions a wear to
run Grants administration. Who paws that
enormous amount of money? The laboring
men and women. Those who earn their bread
