tion to keep alive the spirit that has been
awakened. Additional clubs will be at

The future is before us. It presses its
claims upon US with an intensity that can
not be resisted. The past campaign will
play but a small figure in the one that will
crowd upon its heels, save it will be to in
intensity and crystalize the ideas and issues
which are continued. To-day we
open the next Congressional campaign, and
shall make it lively for those who are at
tainted with steals --NcLaon County (IU. }

The campaign just over has disclosed
this fact: New issues are shaping them
selves, which are more than likely to evolve
entirely new political parties, and break to
pieces the old ones. We do not know at
this time what names will be assumed by
the new organizations, Of course; but one
will be founded on the principle enunciated
by the Farmers organizations. 1t has be-
come very evident that the farmers are not
engaged in any child's.play. They are
thoroughly in earnest, and the man, be he
Republican or Democrat, who imagines
that this uprising Of the laboring masses is
for the upbuilding or strengthening of the
old party to which he belongs is indulg-
ing in a false ho7e.-Carlyle (IU.) Banner.
We have been trying to extract some
little consolation from the local election
returns this week, but the success is not
much better with Us than with some of the
late candidates. The fact is, that the Re-
publican ticket, as nominated, met with q
serious obstruction somewhere on its road,
and victory don't "perch upon its ban
ners " to any great extent. The re-
suit demonstrates beyond doubt that in
Whiteside county nomination is no longer
equivalent to an election.-Sterling iIl1.

We have met the enemy 1.-THE Farmers
Of McDonough County,, and we are theirs
by majority Of over 200 votes. We have
been defeated, not because we did not have
the best ticket ever produced in this county,
but because large number of the Repub-
licans were led astray by the f1imsy argu-
ments put forth by the Democracy in favor
of the Anti Monopoly movement.
Republicans who have stood the brunt of
many battles, be not discouraged, but let
your efforts be doubled to keep and main

purest, best government ever organized by

The record of the Republican party
has been stained by dishonest men. 1t
must now purge itself of their fellowship, and
make q bold, persisten7, and fearless attempt
to inaugurate policy whose fundamental
principles shall be Honesty, Economy and
Purity, and adhere to them in practice,
in administering the affairs of the Gov
ernment, in rejecting the friendship
Of those who are known to represent the
contrary of those virtues, if it would not

The result on Tuesday lin Kane Coun-
ty] is triumph for the people over politi-
clans and monopolies 1t is sign Of the
times, and an unmistakable index to the
future. The time when scheming politi-
clans can hoodwink the people in the name
of Republicanism is fast drawing to close
x By the use of money and
appeals to the patriotism of Republicans,
and their memories of the past, these old
leaders had hoped to beguile the people in
to their continued elevation to Offices of
honor and profit. That time is past, gen.
tlemen, and the people have ceased to ans
wer to your bugle-call.- ll.-Elgin (IH.) Aduo-
cate.
The lesson is plainly evident: It teach
es the old political rings Of Kane County
that they are broken into fragments that
never can be welded together while the
strong grasp Of popular might is at the
throat Of corruption. The Gazette, for
weeks before the Republican Convention,
warned our party that the fight was dan
gerous one; that under any circumstances
the struggle would be fierce, and contested
with will such as was never before seen
in Kane County This warn
ing fell dead on the ears of the veteran dis
ciples of ring rule. About that Convention
the daylight Of the present hour had not
fallen. The ghosts Of the past gibbered of
" the party" as though all over the land
sweeping revolution were not marching,
storming, and routing the existing but en-
feebled organizations that are known by
name to men.-E2gin (LI.) Gazette.
There is yet God in Israel. The Re-
publican rings and Republican ing-thieves
have long said unto themselves, ' Behold
US, we weave not, neither do we spin, yet
Solomon in all his glory, was not fixed like
one Of us, because he did not know how to
form a Credit -Mobilier. We believe that
there is God in Israel, because, although
our sins are many, and the cries Of the
just rise up to high heaven, we flourish
and grow fat" The Potatoe-Bugs ="
have swarmed and behold the result
Bureau County (lU.) Tribune.
The portent of these facts will not be
by the country. They
show that the people everywhere have risen
against the Republican party, which has
