MR.. CHARLES KERN

Candidate for Sheriff on the independent
ticket is one Of our most popular and re-
spected citizens, peculiarly fitted Tor the
position to which he has been nominated,
and his election is a foregOne conclusion
His career as Sheriff in Indiana, where he
ed, is regarded as one Of the
best on record.
His business character, while resident
of Chicago, has been above reproach, and
there is every reason to believe, that the
trust committed to his charge, will be filled
to the satisfaction of the public. Of
one fact our voters can rest assured, that
he has not compromised himself by prem
ising Office to Tom, Dick and Harry, SO
that he il free to select officials capable and
honest, and call around him as assistants,
men whose qualifications are unquestloned.
On the other hand his competitor MIR.
Clouah has compromised himself, and
made pledges to almost everybody who
has promised to vote for him and has also
made arrangements with Conrad Folz-
well known as the former jallor Of Cook
County. and under whose management the
people can expect no Improvement or re-
form. This alone should furnish a valid
reason why every independent voter should
cast his ballot for Mr.. Charles Kern.

John z. Seaman.

JOHN F. SEAMAN, candidate for Sena-
tor in the Fourth District, has had some
experience as legislator, having been
member of the lower house Of the State
Legislature at it last session, where he IN
troduced q resolution instructing the Judi
ciary Committee to draft bill abolishing
the contract system in the Penltentlary,
and regulating convict labor in such man
nor as to prevent unjust competition with
the labor Of the honest mechanic, and it,
employment at work which would benefit
the State without injury to the citizen.
On all occasions his vote and influence
have beeu given In support Of measures
having for their object the amelioration of
the condition of those who labor for liv-
ing. If elected, as he certainly will be if
his friends do the duty, it il needless to
add he will prove true to his sympathies
and his past record.

idea that certain rebels have presented
claims against the government, but while
these same people havs every reason for
knowing that the gold market is absolutely
cornered, they still insist that the gold
Shylock, shall have the legal right to rob
the American people at will, on and after
the LIST day of January, 1879. William
Aldricli candidate for Congress in the LIST
district says this wholesale robbery is all
right, and the whole gang Of gold thieves
cry amen, and cheer for Aldrich Mr.
Bowen believes that this system of legal
robbery is all wrong, and that it is abse-
lutely unnecessary aAssis therefore op-
posed to it. He believes that the only way
to secure all the advantages of specie pay
ment is by promoting the industries Of the
country by setting all idle men at work
Bullionists seem to believe that the road
to prosperity is to starve all idle men to
death. A vote for Aldrich is vote for the
starvation plan. A vote for Bowen il .
vote in favor Of plenty Of work and good
wages

MR.. JOHN HIEE.

for the past forty years, and Is as well

virtue of the constitution he is chairman q
the Board of Equalization and IT IS vel
known that for the pasts years-from A.

1t is also well known that Cook County
pays the fifth part Of the taxes OF tins
State, and that she pays annually to th'
State Treasury, as school tax alone, $50,
600 more than she receives in return
hence every tax payer in the county II

man whose interests will be safe IN thel
hands; and as this important office ha
never been held by citizen Of Chicago
we hope our voters may be actuated by
little local pride in placing Mr. Hlse
