KY. w. GILMAN, ESQ.

White the nomination of Mr.. Gilman fo
the state senate by the opposition member
Of the Board OF Supervisors is rdlculed D.
the Ottawa RrpuJltcan and others as Wild an
quixotic, it must be evident to the thinking
mind, however, that there must have heeI
some stronr motiye .. the bottom Of il TO re
ceiye SO unanimous sanction of the mem
hers of the board outside Of the strict rcpub
lican pale We think we can faihom INA
motive. Mr. Plum, the nominee CT The I'm
dependents, is closely connected, or alcgt'
or supposed to be, in business and relation
ship with Coz. Plumb, of Strcator, who is one
of the chief movers to have the decision OF
the Supreme Court Of this state reversed, by
which the people along the line of the Otta
wa, Oswego & Fox River Valley railroad es
cape the payment of the bonds which they
had voted to that road, lut out of which they
assert they were swindled. OF course, the
allegation against Fawcet Plumb is, that II
elected he would go to the state senate in Ia
vor of enforcing the payment Of these bonus
and the same objection applies with equal
force to Mr.. Corbus, who is also known as
railroad man and protcge of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad.
The tax payers generally along the line OF
the road in question are extremely sensitive
on the subject of these bonds, Whoever Ia
yors their payment will encounter opposition
re gardlcss of party or any other lies. Mr..
Plum and Mr. Corbus may as well both I'M
derstand this, and meet the case as they deem
proper
In regard to the nomination Of Mr.. Gilman,
and the motives influencing 1t, we have also,
ne following communication for insertion

EQUALIZATION.

The State Board of Equalization has been
in session at Springfield for the last four
weeks, and is about drawing its labors to Il
close The only interest we have in its do.
ings relate, to their effect on the assessment
Of this county. We learn directly from
Springfield that Tie Board have agreed to re-
duce the assessment Of this county on per
sonal property % per cent, and on lands and
town lots ~ per cent This is reversing the
former rule, The Board having usually added
from 80 to 70 per cent. 70 our assessment.
We are pleased to hear so favorable an nc.
count Of Mr.. Dewey, the member of the
Board from this district, Mr.. Dewey is rep
resented to us being decidedly one of the
most useful members on the Board. He is
intelligent, industrious and panstaking, and
knows all about the business. No member
wiclds II larger influence.
The republicans Of this district have ridic.
ulously nominated a candidate man from
Kendall cOuGty-as the successor Of Mr.
Dewey, though his term of Office will MOI
expire until 1876, having been elected tive
years ago for four years. We are pleased I,
learn that Mr.. Dewey has no thought of re
signing to crafty the greed for office of TIL
KeHdall county radical hummer.

Chicago Is III peck of troubles with the
Eastern Insurance Companies, After being
two or three times, in the last few years, near
~ swampcd by over risks on Chicago rocker
les, the companies in question have decided
that unless Chicago will make better provis
ion against periodically going up IN smoke
they will no longer insure their exceedingly
volatile property, They insist that Chicago
shall make her fire limits co.cNtensiye with
the city; adopt Il fire proof building law re.
organize her fire department; increase the
size of her water mains, and remove the lum.
Der yards and lard rendering establishments
from the south side Of the city. Some o;
these things Chicago can do at once and some
She can't; yet if the insurance companies are
memorable, and Withdraw because Cnicag,
can't do what is impossible, it will leave tho
city in an unpleasant fix. Chicago can't dc
much without great deal Of borrowed CAPT
tai, yet it is plain very little money can he
borrowed on property that can't be insured.

soa,lG and defines his position:

bonds. This reform is of the utmost impor
lance. Mr.. Calnpbell's nomination is emln
emily fit to be made, and probably the best
that could have been made.
Mr., Campbell is man of means, and there
lore free from the temptation OF salary grabs,
Credit Mobilicr steals aud other brides which
are always held out by the lobby and other
members of congress, to betray the interests
of the people. The national banks have not
got money enough to buy Alexander Camp
bell, because no amount would buy him
The rational bank monopoly will find no
mercy at his hands-on the other hand, it
Will be sure to get the heaviest blows it eyer
received.
Mr.. Campbell is in favor of a greenback
untaxed currency free banking and low in.

the taxpayers more than hundred millions
per annum. Mr. Campbell is in favor of free
trade, or strictly revenue tariff. This meas.

tolerate IS such as shall be issued from the
national treasury, ard which, he insists,
shall be legal tender in all cases, as well
for customs dues as internal revenue taxes,
and never issued in greater quantities than
such as shall keep them at par with gold.
His plan to effect this is an elaborate one,
which we shall not stop to describe While
we have often freely criticised and refused to
endorse it, it is but fair to state what Mr..
Campbell claims for it,

, the opposition candidate for superintendent

be that he was until Il year or two ago a re

ications as superintendent of our public
