When the Ottawa Republican, gets on its par
ty spectacles, it thinks 1t sees signs of n bar
gain between Mr.. Leland and the appointees
of Mr.. Cook IN this district, who arc promised
their walking papers as soon as Mr.. Snapp
gets chance at them. Bless your innocence /,
do you not know that democratic members of
congress are not consulted very extensively by
the present executive in the removal and ap-
pointment of officers? Never fear such bar
gain, for Mr.. Leland is not in a position to Of
fer the considerable which Mr. Snapp has
pledged to the outs, whose merits Mr.. Cook
so strangely tailed to perceive, and so failed to
give them the places which they now hope to
receive by the election OF one who depends on
bargains aud considerations alone to secure
his election. You will find there are many
men left in the republican party who can act
from higher motives than those which have
come to be regarded among republican lead
ers as the only inducement to control party
action.

The Ottawa RspujlicHn complains that Mr.
Leland has made a fortune in Ottawa, but has
done nothing to promote its prosperity. Take
the party film from of thine eyes and see the
truth. If Mr.. Leland has secured compel

devoted it all to the improvement Of Ottawa.
He has never invested dollar of his earnings

courteous gentleman and a good citizen. with
an apparently sincere desire to promote the
welfare OF his country, just SO far as clrcum-

the nomination Of Mr.. Snapp, perfectly consci-
Gus OF his unitness for the office he sought,
and even now it it is with wry face which
puzzles the beholder 70 say whether it is a
smile or scswl that he conceals his disgust
when trying to say something in favsr Of a
candidate whom he loaths. He would give o
large amount-for him-we have no doubt, if
for the next four weeks he could occupy the
position ola private citizen and be abe to put

WHAT Is THE FINANCE QUESTION The
finance question between the respective par
ties is well stated by General Benjamin r.
Butler, in his late speech at Springfield Mass.
He said, and We commend it to the consider
alton of his republican friends:
"But the question of finance is this: in
sisted in 1868 that the bondholders should be
paid for their bonds exactly according to the
legal contract, and that they should not be
paid in gold until my soldiers pensions,
and those Of the widows were paid in gold.
said 1t then, and | say il now. II there was
any contract on earth which was sacred it was
the one we made for the soldiers blood. Ii
there is any one that should be paid in gold,
it is the pensions of the widow mourning for
her husbands life. If there Is anything to be
preferred it is that kind of payment which
gives to the poor man, not the rich man who
has made his thirty, forty Of fifty per cent
during the late war. Now, If that is treason
to the republican party, make the most of it.
1t speaks to my soul, heart anu every fiber in
my body, with the watch word of fair play,
and stand by It although all the governor
ships this side Of Texas should be offered to
me or refused me-

The Water Power at ottawa. Ill.

To Manufacturer,
Attention is called to the extensive Water
Power now completed end ready for use at
the city of Ottawa, Ill.,, consisting of the
water power of the Illinois and Fox rivers so
united by dams and races as TO form one i'm.
mense water power, greater in capacity than
the power used at Lowell, Mass. The Ottawa
Manufacturing Co., the proprietors of the wa
ter power, are now prepared to furnish to the
right kind of parties any amount of water
power and land for manufacturing purposes
and for homes for mechanics and laborers, AT
RATES OFFERING GREATER INDUCEMENTS THAN
ANY OTHER POINT IN THE STATE, and such as
cannot tail to give satisfaction.
The situation of Ottawa, on the III. and
Mich. Canal and at the crossing of the c. r.
L u P. and G. B. & @. railroads (the latter by
the Fox River branch) secures to manufac-
turers CHEAP FREIGHTs, and the abundance of
the best quality of bituminous COAL in its
immediate vicinity and from the extensive
NERMILLIoN COAL FIELDS short distance south
OF the city, and now connected by rail with
the city, secures to them CHEAP FUEL.
The city is supplied with an excellent sys-
ten of PUBLIC SCHOOLS, with GAS and WATER,
water from the Cation Water Works and from
eight Artesian wells flowing with an average
head of twenty-five feet, and with the finest
and best. kept HOTEL in the state, with nu
merous fine CHURCHES making it desirable
residence place.
1t must be remembered that the west is
soon to do the manufacturing for the west
and that water power is the cheapest and
most steady power in use, facts most fully ap
preciated by eastern manufacturers.

ing establishments ARE EARNESTLY REQUEST

The Joliet Republican characteristics Mr.. Le-
land, the Democratic candidate Cor congress,
as an "honest and amiable old gent of the an
provements of modern repnblicanism. We
must confess that Mr.. Leland is not proficient
in the ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain" which is about the only element to re-
commend his competitor, Mr.. Snapp. 1t will
find that the people have enough of these
modern improvements in politics, which consis:
in knowing how to shuttle the peoples money
into their own pockets. The people heartily
desire to testify their appreciation Of that in
tegrty which characterised our public men

portunity to rid themselves Of political

There is much anxiety about the expenditure
OF the money by the authorities of CHICAGO.
The bill provides that not less that oue.fith nor
more than one-third shall be spen. in the cree.

powerful influence brought to bear TO take the

buildings now, they will elect city officers next

The Legislature has passed bill to provide
Tor the Ts-assessment Of property that was burn
ed or destroyed after the assessment, rolls were
returned. 1t requires that the assessment shall
be made on the first day of November 1871, and
extends the time OF collection until the first of
July, 1862. While the law is general in its
terms, it is really to apply to Chicago though
Champaign, Amboy and Woodstock may avail
themselves OF the benefits of the act.
There is bill undisposed of that provides tor
the removal of the Chicago Reform School from
Chicago 10 the State Reform School at Pontiac.
There are about $50 inmates in the Chicago
school! There is also a proposition to remove
the insane Hospital OF Chicago, or to provide
Tor Its maintenance by the state until the hos.
pital at Elgin shall be ready to receive them.
There are near 100 patients there The state
has heretofore paid no part of the support of
that Institution, nor have they sent any Of their
insane to Jacksonville as other counties have
done.
Both houses rescindsd the resolution to,meet at
