HOW II CANE CUT.
We have often counted on Saline cPun-
~ giving Republican majority OF fAPm
three to four hundred, but that it should
give, as the reports indicate, nearly
eight hmdrs& majority really aston'shes
US. Syeh is the fact aid We say well
donefor old Saline. We expect to give
a f,ll statement next week of the votes
Skst in each precinct-after the retarns
Shall have been canvassed by the county
commissioners.
It's well known ofcourse that we have
fought hard to defeat the candidate fol-
county attorney upon the regular ticket.
We did it because we considered it our
duty. Like many others in this county
We have not hitherto always abided by
the nominations of the Republican coun'
ty conventions. AS no political eonsid
crations are generally involved in the
county offices, and as nominating con
ycntions often left TO the control OF
shystering politicians frequently bring
ont undescrying and dishonest men, we
have from time to time seen fiji TO act in,
dependent Of them, and vote for better
men. We considered that it was not
our duty as a Republican to support j.
G. Mohlcr upon grounds which We have
time and again urged in the columns Of
o1s paper. We have done our best, in
our humble way, TO secure the election
of f. W. Hodgkinson, whom We are sat.
isficd is honest, capable and disposed to
perform each and every duty required
of him by law up IN the receipt OF legal
fees. lie was elected by Il majority OF
over three hundred cotes, which is the best
evidence that the official record OF J. &.
MohIer, for the past two years, Is not
Endorsed by the voters of Saline county.
Major Eric Forsse was elected to the
Office of representative, bya mJori ty
of about seventy-fvc. THIS gentleman
has a God war record having served for
several years, in the war of the rebellion,
in the capacity of major in an Illinois
regiment. We know that he is honest,
tina. he will work faithfully and assidu-
ously for his constituency and that he
will be determined anti Pomcroy man.
Mr. August Bondi was elected clerk OF
the district court, bya majority of about
one hundred votes. He is an old resi-
dent of the county and is known through
out its length and breadth as goood
business man, genial gentleman and
eminently qualified for the office to
which he has been elected.
Col. Henry Logan, candidate for pro-
bate judge, and Rev. VIM. Bishop, can.
'didate for superintendent of public in
struction were upon both tickets, and of
course received the major part of the
vote of the county. Both gentlemen
possess good records and are in every
way fitted for the respective positions to
which they have been so unanimously
called. The ticket elected is an excel.
lent one.
We think the Ring has been sufficient.
ly rebuked and earnestly hope they may
have derived some good lessons to guide
them in their future movements, and We
arc satisfied that they have learned ere
this, that boasts and great pretensions
caunot lead voters, like cattle, in their
train. Brighter days arc surely dawn
ing for Saline county and the time is fas,
approaching when honest and capable
men will fill all of our county Offices.
