Niles, q member Of tho Legislature; and
from the West Side, GEonoE L. NEwcoMD,
lawyer, md II. ]. McGnA1u, Superintendent
Of Mails In the Post Office.
These names indicate TINT the Delegates
representing tho Republican party Of this
county were actuated by other motives than
those which goyerncd tho roccnt Democratic
Convention. The Inter was dominated By
the spirit of foreign Know.Nothingism, md
tho dissemination to 'put no Americans on
guard" The native element was feebly
represented among tho Turner Hall rioters.
It was so weak that It was not considered
worth whilo to make my special effort to
please 1t. The ticket from top to bottom
was divided among tho Irish and Germans,
with the exception Of two insignificant NOR
ee1a which woro contemptnous1y tossed over
to two small American chickens. The course
Of tho Republicans was widely different.
They havo acted on the theory that some
Americans should be nominated along
with representatives Of foreign elements.
They have given the Germans n
fair ahare Of the nominees, Congressman,
Coroner, Clerk Of tho Circuit Court. clio.
They have also recognized tho Importance Of
tho Scandinavian voting population Of this
city by giving representative Of it . place
upon tho tickos. They hayo troated all na-
tionalitics fairly, and have shown this yoar,
rs in other years, their entire freedom from
that feeling OF foreign Know-Nothinglsm
which las apparently taken total possession
Of the Democratic party in this city. Tho
Republicans arc not prosecuting party.
They are in favor Of equal rights for all. and
opposed to prescribing man because they
happen to be Ainerican-born.
Mn, CLouou, the Republican nominee
for Sheriff, is man who, ii elected,
will attend strictly, honestly, and fair-
| ly to tho duties of luis Office. II ho
is elected, the public will mover hayo cause to
mako complaints about tho careless or I'M
| proper manner In which tho dutios Of his
position aro performed. Thoro will be no
repetition Of jail deliveries, no bunming
about the Court House, no suspicion Of pnele-
cd juries. The poop1o will rost assr,rod TINT
tho placo is occupied by maa who will deal
fairly and Justly with all. Tho theory Of the
| Democratic Convention WINS TINT an 1risbmau
| having held tho position for the last two
years, It ho was to bo supplantod, German
must tako his place. Undor no circum-
stanccs was m American 10 have It. Tho
Republican Convention, on the other hand,
rccognized no ss,ch rule, and Haw no ronson
why m American WAS not entitled to the
position. It selected man who will dis.
Charge tho duties of tho otlico TO tho general
satisfaction. Tho only remaining question ID
whother the people want such person, OF
whether they shall continue the patronage
and power md influence Of that office in
tho lands Of bimmers and sympathizera
with thu criminal classes,
There will bo feeling among thoughtful
men Of both parties TINT noithor has selected
al able man for State's Attorney IS tho i'm.
