Senator Shepard

The Republic has a first rate notice of
this gentleman, which the C2r0Ricl6 copies
approvingly which taken in party sense
is all right and proper but let US see how
his record stands in regard to the great
questions which are now engaging the at
tention of his constituents The shackles
Of party have been too strong for him
binding him hand and foot. The crack of
the party whip has been too potent for
him to resist He dared not oppose either.
From a district in which the friends Of
temperance largely predominant, he votes
for the guzzling Oglesby for United States
Senator. From a district in which the
opponents Of protective tariff are largely
in the majority, he votes for Oglesby, a
HIGH TARIFF PRoTECrIoNIsT And then
votes for a two-faced resolution favoring
the TARIFF MONOPOLY. From a district
in which all the people Except the appoin-
tees OF Grant, are opposed to all manner
of governmental steals, he last week put
himself down three times IN FAVOR OF
TUE SALARY GRAB. Once he voted to
adjourn in order to avoid the consideration
and vote upon a resolution eensuring the
congressional salary grab and twice he
voted along with his Republican brethren
against taking up that resolution and con
sidering it. In the light Of these votes, he
may fairly be set down as favOring the
grab and the probability is, that the peo-
pie toiH remember his reereaHeg, and the
place that knows him now officially, will
know him no more forever The people
are in no humor now TO tolerate monopo-
lists, Credit Mobiier chaps, and salary
grabbers nor their apologists Mr.. Shep-
ard cannot smile himself nor apologize
himself into their favor after this exhibi-
ton Of his inability to resist the party
lash yet, among his party friends he is the
pest o. the lotand as partisan is entitled

SUPPORTS THE FARMERS, CANDIDATE.

The Bureau Comfy Rep,l6liean Of the
sth, printed at Princeton, Ia Republican
paper in an article on the Supreme Judge
ship, says
Mr.. Craig has always beena Democrat
and has always acted with that party in all
matters where party lines were drawn.
Judge Lawrence was Republican until
the commencement Of the campaign Of
last year, when he allowed his name to BE-
used in the interest Of Liberalism. Hence
so far as party feeling is concerned, Repub-
leans have nothing to gain in the election
Of either Of these gentlemen. The ques-
ton therefore turns entirely upon the fit
ness and qualifications Of the respective
candidates, regardless Of party bias OF
party feeling
Yesterday we had the pleasure of
forming the acquaintance Of Mr.. Craig
who was here looking after his interests
and we were all impressed with his appear
ance. He may not be as learned in the
law as Judge Lawrence, but we think h,
has sufficient judgement TO understand tina
railroads las well as the people, must con
form 10 the letter and spirit Of the law
Mr. Craig believes that railroad charter

do certain things for the public good, for
fair compensation and that the people
through their agents, are willing to conced
this, and nothing more. This being hi
position, it is the duty of the people TO Sc
to it that he is triumphantly elected on tn
second day Of June.
The Chicago Tribune in an article on tn
same subject, says
There seems 20 be no political issu
made in the election. The Bureau Count.

Democrat, and the Ottawa Free Trade
