GILLIAN STEPS OUT.

w. W. Truman, Esq, desires ms lrichuS
and the public to understand that ne Is not
candidate for the Senate, and never has been
II Is ,ruc that 4 majority of the Board of Su
pervisors made a movement towards bringing
him out as Il candidate, but he never accept
ed that nomination, nor did he see any ncccs
si.y for formally declining it. The Supervisor,
in the matter had only expressed their pref
erencc as individuals, and though in no sense
Il candidate Mr.. Gilman has no power to pre-
vent individuals from casting scattering
votes for HIM if they choose to do so,
The exact position of Mr.. Gilman being thus
understood, 1t follows that Mr. Plumb is the
the only candidate in opposition to DIR. Cor
bus, the regular republican nominee. AS
such, we desire it TO be distinctly understood
that the FREE TRADER earnestly urges the
| independent voters Of LaSalle county to vote
for Fla Get Plumb for the state senate. lie
| is man whose feelings and sympalhleS arc
all with the people OF the west, in opposition
to the railroad, tariff and bank monopoi'eS'
to the maintenance # all of which Mr. Cor
bus as the nominee of the republican party,
stands solcmnly pledged. Take the support
of the bank and tariff monopoies away from
the republican party, and it would iaIl to-
pieces in a day. It's very life IS thus wrapped
up in the prosperity OF these monopolles, ana
TO fight for them every republican Office hold
er regards as equivalent to fighting tor politl,
cal existence.
To test this matter, when Corbus comes to
you and tells you he is in favor of green
back currency, ask him whether he is in favor
of a Withdrawal Of the national bank cur
rency. If he says he is, you know he is I'M
truthful for every republican in Congress,
and every republican convention has passed
resolutions in favor of maintaining the ma
tlonal bank currency monopoly, generally
under the head of free banking" which is but
another name for free bOotlng or free plund-
er. No-Corbus will tell you he is for keep
ing Undergraduates and national bank bills
but every man OF sense knows that the two
will not be allowed TO circulate together be
;ond a year or two longer. Either we shall
nave treasury notes as our only paper money
Or national bank bills. The struggle today
S between the two; and the republican who
says in this struggle he is not on the side Of
he bank, and for paying them $2O,OOO,0O0
year to furnish US their miserable ir-
'edeecmable paper rags, either deliberately
les or Is false to the platform Of his party. {
The bank monopoly includes the tariff mon,
poly. The two are as inseparably linked
ogcther as were the Samese twins. They {
light for each other in Congress, and with the |
me the other will die 5
Mr.. Plumb stands openly pledged to OPP. [
ose these monopolsts. His election will be G
triumph over the monopoists. The great |
urden under,which the west has been groan
ng for Yeas, is the drain upon their life
lood by these Unsuitable monopolists. The c
otter is false to the interests of the West if he
Ills to strike at the monopolists every OPP. T
ortunity that is offered. There will not in
long time be an opportunity TO deal more |
Elective blow than by voting against DR.. J
. Corbus and for Fawcet Plumb next Tues, q
ay.
