From Monroe Township.

EMINENCE, October -, 1874.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN-Ihe people Of
Monroe township have had an opportu-
nity of seeing and hearing the Grange
candidates for county officers, who are
now exhibiting throughout the couRty,
and STYLED By some as B~rayton'S cara
van. Though the entire troupe is al
lowed to travel without being chained
and without their ring-master, vet they
seem To be very doclle, and we believe if
they were allowed TO pursue their own
course that "A majority of them would be
rs innocent and harmless ~ the tawn oi
the forest, but As Il frog Is the next thing
to a tadpole. and they both live in the
same pond, they are generally cons!d-
cred one family. As we first said. they
were at Moberly's Mills OIL Friday night
last, and each one said his little piece.
but, as every one knows, they are not
speech makers. and would do Just rs
well and get Just rs many votes if they
would s,.y AT home: but they insist on
telling the people thar they do2't want
any office, but have been urged by the
people of the county, and that they
are the only men in ;he county that are
qualified.
Now these gentlemen seem 10 be
clever, good men, and unpretendinT
fellows, but for them to come and apu>e
our present county officers and attack
every other party, seems like they would
rather be elected than not; and we do
soieinnly protest that in this good and
free country men should not be driven
into Office against their own desires, and
we earnestly bcseech You voters not 10
elect :! man unless he wants the office.
Why do not these fellows. like office
seekers ought TO do, rise up and say Il
want IN office. and would like for You
to give it to me-, because | need the
money and think | have us good 4 right
to the office As yon?"
We think 1.-THE duty of every voter 10
vote tor whom he pleases ,andif they vote
for the wrong men they are 70 blame,
but we hope that they VIII 70 10 the
polls and vote for the best, regardless Of
party.
We can only speak for this part of the
county, and have faith that Monroe vii
go strongly for Ford Tor Represrntali. {

Mr.. EDIToR-Sir: Having frequently
heard a report in circulation in this coun-

Peoples candidate for Congress, that he
(Thompson) vas guilty of stealing
mules. or otherwise obtaining them IL
legally during the war. Now in order
to do Justice 10 a good, honest, compe-
tent man. we certify that we were MEM
bcrs of the regiment OF which Col.
Thompson was Lieutenant Colonel, ana
we know that said report Is false that in
order to drive the bu~shwhackers and
guerri!las out OF Cass and adjoining
counties. il was ordered by superior
military authority that The mules, horses
and stock of the rebels in said county
should be taken, sequestcred and sold.
and that pursuant to said order, the
Sheriff OF the county. aided by the
soliiery, should capture said stock :;
that alter said stock had been captured
and ~impouuded the Sheriff sold the same
TO the highest bidder, and ii
said sale Col. Thompson purchased 4
portion OF the mules that were sold.
We further state that during the whole
time that we served with Col. Thomp-
son, a period Of nearly two years, We
always found him To be Il gentleman.

The controlling features in the PROPOSE
ton now presented to the people of
Clarke, Madison, Fayette, Highland, Ross,

ties, are, that the railway as defined in
the charter, is to be built by them, ready

mile, so that no debt shall be made until
the company is in condition, by its own
earnings to provide for both interest and
sinking fund. EVery subscriber TO the stock

When $S000U0 are subscribed, the
entire line between Springfield and Jack

put in complete readiness for the cars, at
the earliest possible date.
Nor foreign aid will be invited or ac-
cepted, until the people residing along
the line have such complete control of
the ownership as to settle the question
of its being operated in their own interest,

RANDOM THOUGHTS.

This number of the STANDARD is dated
on the very last day of the year 1874
At the close of year it is fit time to
take survey of the past, and the begin
ming of a new year is the proper time to
form resolutions for the future. And the
first thing that impresses the mind of a
man of my age upon a review of the past,
is the rapidity with which the years pass
away. 1t is now nearly fourteen years
since 1 have been sole editor of the
STANDARD, and it will soon be twenty
years since l have been a regular writer
for its columns, a part of that time the
responsible editor, prior to the year 1861.
For more than seven hundred weeks /
have never failed for single week to
have something good deal, to
say to the readers of the paper. For a
thousand weeks past, l have not failed
more than dozen weeks, to have some
thing to say in the paper.
1 appeal to those who have read my
paper during all these years, if / have
not looked upon the bright side of life
been hopeful and cheerful. If a man
who writes or talks for the public has
sorrow, whether it be a secret sorrow or
one known of all men, he should not be
thrusting it before the public. Every
one who labors for the public should en-
deavor to augment the amount of human

that if there is God at all, He is a just one.

the polls every election day what then?
Why, sir, you don't understand even the first
principle of logic. What General would refuse
to go into battle because a hundred men would
be killed? 1t isn't what may happen that
should forbid woman the privilege of the polls.
If alone in the world, she must pay taxes, and
if married, she must bring all the voters into

the privilege granted to even the negro? No
earthly reason can be brought against this,
