lcan for it that he is rather small timber''
to take the place of man like Elmer Bald

tics of the scrip,ural "impiortunate widow"
Mr. Holdridge, the first nominee for repre-
sentative, has been for the last
year or two quite a prominent spirit in
the farmers movement in this county and
was fierce for the organization OF an lndepen-
dent party; but things not promising to pan

to be better in that corrupt party" and the
result shows that his instincts would do hon

with the Campbell rag money rabies and
trains naturally enough among the follow
ers of Logan, Morton and Ben Butler.
Mr.. Spicer, the other nominee for represen.
taivc, is very decent farmer, of rather more
than ordinary intelligence, and has fair
record as as Il member of the Board of Super
pervisors for the last two or three years We
should judge by his honest countenance and
straight forward, manly ways, that he is, at
heart at least, in favor of honest money and
specie payment.
Mr.. McIntire, the nominee for sheriff, has
held that office Tor the last two years and per
formed its duties so acceptably, and set his
pins for reelection so skillfully, that his re-
nomination was foregone conclusion. His
case is an argument in favor of reviving the
old law that made sheriff ineligible for a
second term, on the ground that any sheriff
of ordinary capacity can re-elect himself if
he sets about it.
Corwin got the delegates to the congress

ates him. l: is humiliating fact that the
party in the district has no better timber just
now.

Independent Reform County Convention.

The legal voters of La Sale County, who be
lieve that the party in power has most signally
failed in protecting the rights of the citizen
against eXtortion and unjust class legislation,
aud are therefore unworthy Of being longer en-
trusted with the control of public affairs, are re-
quested TO meet in their respective towns on
Saturday, Sept. 9Th, and appoint delegates to a
County Convention, to be held at the Court
House in Ottawa, Wednesday, September 9th, at
. o'clobk p. m, to appoint delegates to Con
gressional Convention, to be held at Morris,
September 10th; and also to nominate candidates
for the Legislature and County Offices.
The basis Of representation will be two dele
gates from each town, except Ottawa, Peru, La

tied to four delegate. 1t is hoped every town in

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

A call appears in our columns to-day for
an Opposition" congressional convention, 10
be held at Morris on the nth inst The com
mittce signing this call is the same that wars
appointed two years ago by the convention
at Morris that nominated Judge G. ID. \.
Parks for congress on the "Independent Re.
FORM" or Greeley ticket. 1t is the only con-
gressional committee in existence in this dis.
trict that can claim to represent the body of
the opposition" TO the republican party The
county convention 10 meet in this city next
Wednesday will of course appoint delegates
to this convention.
The committee put their call on the right
basis. They take the platform of the recent
opposition" convention at Springfield as
their starting point and propose TO nominate
Il candidate that will come up to its require.
mentS. We know of no other platform, or
formula principles that can distinguish the
opposition" from the republican party. If
we are in favor of bank rags in preference to
a sound currency; in favor of yielding per-
sonal liberty TO subServc quiXotic notions of
morality; in favor of allowing railroads and
bank monopolis,s to ran our state and nation
tional governments instead of our chosen re-
representatives., let us join the Republicans
who are welded to such things; but if we
oppose these things we must join the "oppo
sition" and strive TO place the reIns of gov.
eminent in new hands. There will be no
reform" until this Is done.

Mr.. GoRE.-The Jonesboro Gazette and

endorsed the action of the independent
convention at Springfield, yet support Mr.
Carroll, the nominee of the recent McCor

of the independents" The reason they give
is the same that prevented the nomination

KoultOn time. They were birds of fine teath
er then now, stripped Of their gaudy plum
age, every goose ard gander Kisses a. them

Beecher claims that there is no material

given him enough already on earth
| Ifyou would make respectable man mad
call him a preacher, or Beecher, which is
getting to be too often much the same thing
1t is an old adage that it is a filthy bird
that befouls its OWE nest" and this was ap-
piled to Tilton by Beecher's supporters, but
it seems Beecher did it for him.
Beecher is like the comet; both exhibited
horrible tales as they descended from their
previous sublime elevations! The tale
which Beecher told for himself was like the
comets, exceeding long and transparent, or,
in other words, too thin! too thin!
Beecher was celebrated pious orator, no.
torious for RI etcsrical pyrotechno. He
closed his career like most fire works,-went
up like rocket and came down like stick.
