MIR. Clements says that we desire
the nomination OF the Opposition party
for Congress, and asserts that We have
bccu busily working during two years
to procure it. lie is mistaken and
we challenge any man to say that we
have ever said we proposed to be a
candidate for congress in the impeud
ing canvass How is it possible that
we have been a busy laborer for the
congressional nomination and have per.
mitted no person, not even our most
intimate friends, to know that we de
sired TO enter the contest? We do
not understand that to be the manner
in which nominations arc secured in
these peculiar days Of political chica-
merry And besides, we are not una.
ware of the fact that our nomination
by the opposition would be, at this
time, Cor at any other time to which
We can look forward, unwisc. What
the opposition most needs now is or
ganization, harmony aud enthusiasm
aud harmony could not be obtained by
our leadership.
Tho assertion of Mr.. Clements that
Hon. W. j. Allen would rather pass
the ordeal OF the old war abuse than
that Mr.. Obcrly should be nominated,
Is made for the purpose Of cr'atiug
dissention among the people who are
not friendly to the reelection of our
present member; but it will not have
that effect We do not believe Mr..
Allen would take any such positions
he would not be guilty of such folly.
Mr.. Oberly has supported
him for the several Office. he has,
within the last decade, sought
at the hands Of the people, and
is not blind to what the sagacious
observer hereabouts cannot fail to per-
ccive, that all the "signs of the times"
point to the probability that Mr.. Oberly,
acting with the opponents of the Radi-
Gals, will be required to support
Judge Allen again this fall for, how
ever much We may talk about this or
that man, suggesting him az a candi-
date for congress on the Opposition
ticket, the fact is, Judge Allen is the
coming man, if he wishes to be. There
is no man in the district the Demo.
cratic people admire more than they
admire Judge Allen. They like him,
they admire his abilities, and they all
know him personally. lie is polit.
zeal Sir Oracle among his friends Of
the party; is n courteous, good
hearted man, with ruch personal mag
netism about him, md would make q
gallant fight; and, besides all this, he
has the favor of the gentlemen who
form Democratic opinion. He can b,
nominated if wishes to be. va
know that it is the determin
alton OF the most influential men Of the
| Opposition to secure his nomination
and with him IN the lead to chase Gle
ments to his hole. But the Judge
may not wish to be candidate and
if his desire to not take upon himself
the burdens of canvass is restrained
from taking form in declinatiou by
a fear that some person he does moi
like may step into the shoes he doe.
not wish to put on his own feet, he MAJ
dismiss that fear at once.

"Such Democrats a. he is, pcrtinontly
remarks the Register "haye greatly
aided in putting the party in its pres

cludcd from its councils, or at least
cease to control those councils, there is
but little hope for success" Not many
days ago we used almost this same
language, and the Register said we
were foolish. We knew our good
friend at the center would have his
eyes opened some day, but that events
would open them so soon We did no,
expect. Will the Register allow Us
to express the hope that il will not per.

A Chicago newspaper recently entered into
calculation OF The cost Of wooden buildings,
a. demonstrated by the hres st Strsator, Chicago
Oshkosh and Iowa Falls, on July IL and IL IL
found that in these cities the wooden houses
that were burned originally cost $S500O0 TO build
Into them were put furniture, machinery, msr-
ehandse and other articles OF value, and they
were put in locations where IL burned, they would
DESTROY other and more costly buildings. The
result was q fire in each Of the four clties, and
an aggregate loss OF $5,0S0 900, or over fourteen
times the original cost Of the wooden structures
1t places the original investment in these houses
in Chicago at $4,000, and the loss there at s4.
900, 600. doing back TO the great Chicago fire OF
| 1871. when the loss was over el70000,C00, our
contemporary says that $1,000, 900 would have
bought, and paid for tearing down every wooden
building burned In that FIRE. This exhlbl. ess.
alnly teaches . very important lesson.

He comes into office with a popular in

Mr. Payne has been in the sheriff's Of
