THE Mirror contains a lengthy
report of the joint discussion between
Messrs. Tufts and Sheean at Lyons
last Thursday evening. 1t was at
this meeting that Mr.. 7. for the first
time took occasion to refer to the
traitorous record of his competitor.
Although the reference was a very
mild one, it acted upon the obliv-
ion loving Sheean like fire applied tc
powder-he literally flew all to pieces
and in his rejoinder fairly roared with
rage. We sincerely hope Mr.. Tufts
will not in the future neglect this lit
tie chapter in Sheean's history but
will give it to him hard and often. A
man who is afraid to face his owr
record--and especially one which he
still justi6es--is not the man the peo
pie of the Second District ought tc
send to Congress.

BLIND LEADlNG.-We are inioIm-
ed that our old friend Jacob Geiger
is canvassing the county pretty
thoroughly, speaking at every school
house in favor of reform (s--to be
gained only by voting for the nomi-
nees Of the Anti Monopoly party, as
matter of course. The question OF
national finance and currency is Mr..
G's. particular hobby, aud upon this
he dwells first and last-advocating a
reputation Of our national faith to
pay greenbacks where We have prom
Used gold. But for present purposes
it is immaterial chat he advocates.
We began this article merely for the
purpose OF saying that it is possible
for good, sensible man to make a
fool of himself when he goes into hob
by riding as business. And while
we have great deal of respect for
Mr.. Geiger, we can but fear that his
hobby is getting out of control and
that there is danger Of serious run
away. When man comes before the
public through the press and airs his
ideas Of political economy and finance
in column or two where his own re-
peated figures convict him of not
having sufficient knowledge Of his
subject to tell within 1000 what IN
officials salary in currency would
amount to in god, the value Of gold
at the time being given, it would
strike the causual observer that he
should not attempt with perfect as
surance to Indicate the only proper
solution of the most vast and in.
tricate question now before the peo-
pie. That's all.

Convention and It's Nominee.

At the Fourth District Convention
held at White Pigeon school house, on
Saturday, Sept. Goth, Captain T. G.
Prescott. of Durant, the present incum-
bent, was unanimously nominated on the
first ballot for Supervisor. He has been
holding the place by appointment for
about six months, to fill the vacancy &C.
casioned by the death Of Mr.. Nesbitt, and
rs nothing to the contrary was known
but that Mr. Prescott's course had been
entirely commendable and satisfactory
to all, the convention in this nomination
sought only to deal justly with the DIS
trict and with Mr.. Prescott. To those
of the district not acquainted personally,
with the Captain, few items from the
history of the man they are voting for
might be of Interest. The title Of Cap

and to-day he carries shattered shout

The editor Of the Wilton Pictorial
"a very funny man, albeit he never
makes joke when he knows it, nor
never knows it when he does make
one-on his arrival at Muscatine the
other evening by train from Wilton,
reported himself the victim Of a
fiendish attempt at assassination and
secured sympathetic notices from
both the daily papers there. Upon
his return to Wilton he again herald
ed the terrible outrage to which he
had been subjected, and was only
prevented from making hospital Of
himself and employing a whole col
lege Of surgeons by reading the fol-
lowing letter from Wilton to the
Muscatine Journal.
At $50 p. M, just as the train was
about to start from this place, G. O.
Pearce was assaulted with a deadly
weapon, styled tooth pick, about
one half inch in length. A young
man having first eaten his supper at
the Reed House, was promenading
on the platform picking his teeth,
when he espied his holiness at the
car window, and wishing to attract
his attention he gave him a gentle
prod with the deadly tooth pick,
when the victim yelled murder, fire,
police and jumped from his seat as
if seized with the jim .jnnes. But he
was able to go on his journey not
withstanding his serious wounds and
was able to be about this morning,
attending to his duties. The doctors
say by careful attention he may re-
cover, but must not exert himself at
the coming election.
