OUR CANDIDATES FOE CONGRESS.
The friends Of Reform in Cook, Lake, ant
DuPage Counties can cast no votes in this cam.
pnign which will tell moro directly or power
fully in favor of their principles than those
which they will cast for L. B. O11s, j.. Y. LIZ
Mo7SE, and CARTER H. HARRISON, for Con.
gress. Neither Of these candidates will go tc
Congress- to represent the interests OF q clique
Of dead-beat ofdceholders and ward bummers
Neither OF them will go there to maintain g
system Of tariff taxation which is alike unfayor-
able to development Of Western industry and tc
the prosperity Of Western labor. AL Of them,
on the most Important question which will come
before Congress, that Of reducing taxes, are
Revenue Reformers, which their competitors are
not All the reductions of taxes which have
been heretofore accomplished have been effected
in the teeth Of the opposition OF the present Ad~
1ninistzation, Secretary Boutwell, invariably ap-
pearing before the Committees OF Ways and
Means and Of Appropriations, and arguing fol
the high scale Of appropriations demanded, and
against any repeal Of laws that might produce
revenue. He distinguished himself as the op-
all important, therefore, in selecting Members
Of Congress, to vote for men whose views are
in harmony with the interests OF the people of
our section, leaving the interests OF the people
rF 4r ha
scented by the men whom they
may select. Should the country suffer the mis-
fortune of Ora nt's reelection. it is NIL the more
important that Congress should 80 diminish the
tazea as to compel economy.
Again, the prosperity Of Chicago is intimately
bound up in the general prosperity Of our lake
commerce, as we'll with Canada as with our own
ports, and which iupe1atively needs that the
St. Lawrence and Wenand Canals should be-
opened to vessels and steamers Of one thousand
tons burthen. This will make Chicago IN Ocean
port, as available as SGn Francisco, New
Orleans, or New York, both for inward
bound and outward-bound freights. To secure
these results, Chicago needs three able, honest,
accomplished, and persistent members in Con-
gress, who are good lawyers, thorough gentle
men, impressive and effective speakers, and ca
pable Of handling q voxed question like that OF
Canadian reciprocity, on the floor and in COM
mittee, in a manner that will meet and crush
the objections Of it's opponents To labor ef-
fectivo1y in Congr eBs for the interests Of Chca-
60 requires good debaters, which neither Of
the Grant candidates are, and, also, men
whose business habits and knowledge Of
commercial subjects and parliamentary law
will enable them to press tho interests Of our
section without melting the united hostility OF
all the other sections. The subject involves in
cidenta1ly the delicate questions Of assumed
rivalry between Canadian and New York canals,
between foreign and domestic trade, andbotween
manufacturing and agricultural interests.
Mr.. Farwel's qualifications have not fitted
him to contend in discussion OF complicated
questions with shrewder Eastern mombers like
Hooper and Dawes, Of Massachusetts, and Kel-
ley OF Pennsylvania. Mr.. Rice might play
Pozonius better than any other Congressman,
ASk%1A ~AAs+AA
most Of them. But he could tell Congress no
moro about the reciprocity question, or our navi-
cation interests, than the venerable uncle Of the
the Lady OF Lyons. j. D. Ward has been in
the State Legislature, where he generally formed
party of two the other one being in the lobby.
Perhaps the chief objection. to these
three men, however, is their obligation
to sustain the future demands of Grant
ism. II tho Grant bankers, led by Henry
Clews d Co., come before Congress to get that
body to assume payment Of the carpet-bag bonds
now held by them against the negro govern
ments OF the cotton States, or if Grant renews
his movement to buy San Domingo, or Cres-
we'll to pay the Chorpenning claim, or if
any other job or p1undering scheme comes
up whereby Grant fnanciera are to make their
scent per cent" the votes OF Farwell, Rice and
Wa1d may always be counted on to "sustain
Grant,"
MesRrs. lie Moyne, Otis and Harrison are
well known to nearly all the voters of their dis
tricts. They are al able and we'll qualified, by
their habits Of research, their economical opin-
ions and personal integrity, to work in Congress
for the material interests Of Chicago, and, on be-
half of the taxpayers Of the Northwest, against
all opponents OF our interests.
Mr.. Harrison is one Of the ablest members of
our Board Of County Commissioners, and as
such has become well yersed in the local finances
Of our city and county. Judge
Otis has large interests as
capitalist, and he came to Chicago sixteen
years ago with high reputation as Judge in
the Courts Of Ohio. Mr.. LIE Aoyne is lawyer
Of ability, experience, and dignity, an accom-
plished patron Of the arts, 3 gentleman and =
scholar. Had these thrsa men been voted upon.
