is not Grange victory; it is not Demo-
cratic victory; but victory Of the people.
1t is the victory of the party opposed to
corruption and monopolies over party
long in power, and the stencil OF whose
corruption fills the whole air. The Re-
publican party has long held sway in Mer-
Ger County, but now it has been beaten in
square. fair fig ght.--Aledo Banner, lU.
Shout aloud! Party shackles broken
The people free, and do their own voting.
How are you Republicans Goodbye
Democrats. The Farmers ticket has tri-
umphed in Iroquois County-a very graft
flying result indeed; the more gratifying
from the fact that the victory is more de-

mastery, but the sturdy men Of the soil
turned out en- masse against them.-Hi1ls-

ty is fair sample Of the feeling prevailing
among the people in all parts of the coun-

"busting" things! Tremendous avalanche
of votes, and complete victory! Stun
ming majority of 1000 for the county ticket
and it may reach 1900. That the farmers
Of Jefferson County were in earnest in the
campaign, and from the day Of their organ
ization meant business, we have never for a
single moment doubted; but that they
would sweep the county by such tornado
as the figures below indicate, exceeds our
"fondest anticipations." There is grand
moral pointed by those fgures-there is
valuable lesson to be learned therefrom.-

Grow, noble bird Down with the
Monopolists! The voice of the people the
voice Of God The voters Of Ford County
have decided that they will be freemen
once more. The returns from all parts of
the county are most gratifying, and show
that Republicans and Democrats alike ap-
preciate the dangerous situation they are
in at this time, and that they are willing to
meet on common ground and unite, for the
purpose of resisting being robbed perpetu-
ally by the money-power Of the country.
Demagogues and dishonest Of
fcials now read their doom, and the Mo-
nopolists can realize that it Is too late in
the nineteenth century to make slaves of
American freemen. Ford County has done
nebly.-Fo1d County (ln. } Journal.

suit Of the election in this (Stephenson)
County on last Tuesday is extremely en-
couraging, when it is remembered that the
Reform movement was organized only ten
days before the election. K
We noticed several Democratic politicians,
in good standing for Office and who have
grown gray in the. service, busily engaged
peddling Republican tickets. 4 X
The result not only in this county, but
throughout the entire State, proves that
people are ripe for reform, and that it will
and must come. The politicians must go
down, and the people come to the 'front.'

The Farmers ticket" has achieved
grand, industrial, moral, and political
victory over al opposition in Marion county
and the adjoining counties of Clinton and
Jefferson. The moral victory is not the
least important. especially in Marion
county. Have not the old parties
given abundant evidence that they were
powerless for reform ?-Centralio (I1)

The people are aroused, and condemned

away at Long Branch $4,000 year of

the Credit Mobilier swindle, and the enact

began rolling in Ohio and Iowa is march
ing on. ."-Jones6oro (IU.) Gazette.
From all quarters comes the welcome
news. The last Congress was too much for
the party which claimed all the virtue

the Republican party. x May the
work go on until corrupt men shall be
thoroughly rooted out and sent to political
oblivion.-Aason County (Iu.) Independent.
