NOTES AND OPINION

The mOnopolsts of New England, New
York, and Pennsylvania are watching the
elections in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and
Minnesota with more eagerness than they
ever watched the result of Presidential
election, and they are sending money by
hundreds of thousands to influence the
elections here-why? To save the integ-
rity-the unbrOken phalanx of the Repub
lican party. Let that party succeed with
its usual majorities, and the monOpolists
are all right again for the next half dozen
years TO come. ''Rhe anti.monopoly hub
bub, they will say, has been a mere puff
Of wind. - i'dud liA } Free Trader.
There is a class Of good meaning Re
publicans who continue TO ask, why don
the farmers take possession OF the Repub-
lican machinery instead OF acting outside
Of IL, here IN the county Of Kendall In
the cities and many Of the counties of this
and other States such thing would be
entirely out Of the question, hence nothing
better would result than purifying the par
~ in spots, which would be of no avail.
The instinct OF the people, if they should
not stop to reason. tells them they must
all act alike, and help TO bring about gen
eral results. - YOrkeiLe (IR Nstos.
Voters of Bureau county, will you CON

dozen of politicians, whose whole study
and ambition is TO get office and bleed the
people? How long will the people submit

clique OF professional political tricksters,

the people as the wolf for the welfare of
the lamb p Princeton Ill., Tribune.
You are tired of the one man aud the
one party rule. Will you put your tough
hands to the wheel now, or must you wait
until the events Of few more years shall
show YOU why you ought To have acted

AT the next State election in Illinois
the Republican party, relying on the iu-
vincibility of their 10000 majority, led by
Logan, Oglesby and other salary
bers, will spit upon the farmers move
