OF conversation in political circles here to-

WHO Is Sold?
From the Es,ppnee Independe

from tde hslDDftee InOepSHueFt
On Monday, the 10th inst, little knot
of pretended 'greenbackers" met at
Tiskilwa, Bureau Co., and went through
the farce of nominating candidate for
congress. The lucky man who is to bear
all the honors of that nomination is the
Hon. Austin Sykes" of kewanee. At
this writing we are not advised as to
whether Mr. Sykes regards himself as
capable of bearing up under all this load
of honors, or whether be will. with the
modest self-deniai for which he is noted,
put the great burden from his shoulders.
The friends of Gen. Henderson no
doubt remember that in 1862, when he
was candidate for congress in opposition
to Owen Lovejoy, he was defeated by the
nomination OF the late Ben. Graham by a
| few Bourbon Democrats in the interest of
| Lovejoy, the consideration to Graham
| being handsome sum OF money. Hen
| derson doubtless desires to profit by that
experience, and has now procured the
| Hon. Austin Sykes to capture that
| portion of the greenback vote which would
be likely to be cast for Dunham. This is
probably the secret of this late nomination
Henderson is pledged by his votes to a
| forced resumption of specie payments, an0
yet these pretended opponents of specie
resumption nave taken step by which tc
secure Henderson election.
Durham is In favar of greenbacks al
the currency of the country, opposed t.
the national banks. 10 favor of renonetiz
ing the silver dollar. and opposed to forcec
resumption. The only difference between
him and the most ultra greenbacker il
that he is in favor of making greenback
as good as gold by such legislation as vii
make the poor mans money as good as th'
bondholders money. If Mr.. Durham Il
not 10 entire accord with the greenbackers
the difference is so slight that all consis
tent. honest greerbackers must greatly
prefer his election to that of Gen. Hen
derson. And the question is, will the.
permit themselves to be sold and de
: liyered by handful of Henderson
friends disguised as greenbackers? Mr.
Sykes ought to have more respect fo
himself than to permit his name to be.use'
for such purpose.
