ANY one recently from the East, with
his mind filled with romantic ideas con-
corning the noble savage and the beauti-
ful Indian maiden, formed from reading
Cooper's novels and other kindred works,
would have the illusion quickly dispelled
by visiting the huts and tents inhabited
by the Indians on the hills below town.
The dirt and filth, both inside and out
side, cause an intolerable stencil during
the present heated term, and their habits
are disgusting to the last degree. There
is usually wide margin between TO-
nance and reality, and in nothing more
so than in regard to the savage of what
ever race or county, Virg. Chronicle,

MR.. GoRE WILL CONTINUE A CANDIDATE
FOR STATE TREASURER.
And He Expects to be Elected.

Hon. David Gore, of Macoupin, has
written to the St. Louis Republican, the
following:
CARLINvILLE, Sept. ID, 1874.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN In your paper
of the tn inst. you predict the with
drawal of my name as candidate tor
state treasurer of Illinois, from the field.
That prediction reflects upon the cause
of the Independent party of this state, as
well as upon me personally.
| desire to say through your paper, that
my candid convictions are that the princi
Piles advocated by the Independents are
more in harmony with the best interests
of the chole county than those advocated
by any other party. 1t is, therefore, my
personal desire as well as my public duty
to uphold, sustain and advocate, if posi-
BILE, to a successful issue, these measures,
Indeed, l would be acting the part of a
traitor to my friends wno honored me with
the nomination, | would in that event be
contributing to the success of principles
which are adverse and antagonistical with
the principles which are advocated by the
Independents.
| would also be betraying my own per.
'sonal convictions, aud would surrender all
hopes of being state treasurer, which will
be if the people prove true TO their best
interest. No, sir, shall not torsake the
cause, not if the cause should torsake me.
And in the name of the toiling millions,
aud in the interest of productive industry,
/ ask an impartial consideration by the
voters of this state, of the principles Of
the Independent Reformers, which, in
short is that the honest judgment of the
people ought to rule this government, in
stead of money. ID. GORE.
