A Republican Newspaper Bolts Hayes
From TIE Terre HaQte, Ind. E.rpr,

From TIE Terre HaQte, Ind Express.
We desire to deal in perfect candor with
our readers For about 20 years the
Express was a steadfast supporter of the
Republican party. We are fully i'm
pressed now with the greatness of the
party's history, and with the grandeur Of
its achievements. We should be glad to
stand in the old lines, and fight with those
with whom we have stood shoulder to
shoulder through the political conflicts of
the past Bat we cannot do so. The
Cincinnati convention has committed the
Republican party to financial policy that
has already greatly injured the country,
and which promises climax Of ruin. Mr.,
Rutherford B, Hayes, of Ohio. has taken
occasion to say, within the last three
weeks, to representative of the Cincinnati
Commercial, that he as not in .ftduor of the
repeal Of tie resumption lac, unless the act
repeating 1t should proride for more
prompt resumption than the present 1aw
He is committed, as unequivocaly as a
man can be, to the policy of forced re-
sumption. The Express cannot support
Mr., Hayes, nor any candidate, from the
! highest to the lowest, who is committed
to the hard-money financial policy. We
have not entered for fair weather fight
we have no principles to compromise, or
yield, or give away. We may be left in a
small minority, or lett alone, but we shall
continue to battle against the unjust, un-
necessary and iniquitous attempt to bank
rupt the country in the interest OF the
creditor class The crack of the party
lash has lost ali terror to this newspaper
If our patrons expect party servitude from
US they will be disappointed. We shall
publish the news, with fair comment, upon
passing events, and we shall continue tx
try to educate the people up to the point
of revolt against the gold barons The

the first and highest issue in the back
ground in this campaign, and the people

ugly Honest. :"

The Cincinnati nominees were chosen
for the simple reason that they were SO
far lacking in positive, aggressive vigor
that the party could harmonic in their
support, the good and the bad elements
being equally well satisfied. AS the
Springfield Mass, Republican very &C
eurately expresses it, the Cincinnati con-
vention has given US men who have been
honest without being ugly honest" Now
let the Democrats profit by the example
aud give us men who are known the whole
country over as being ugly honest.

cinnati. Let him have all the show at St

Two Illinois Republican Great Guns.

A Cincinnati correspondent OF the st.
Louis Republican, giving pencil sketches
Of noted men at the convention. thus de
scribes two Illinois apostate Democrats
men who staid in the Democratic party
as long as there was hope OF office, and
left only when the chance for office was
better in the Republican party. Here
they are:
ROBERT G. INGERSOLL, OF ILL.
Ingersoll was the orator of the conyen-.
ton, and the nominator and advocate OF
Blaine. His speech made on presenting
the name of his favorite was regarded as
the most effective one made during the
three days session, and persons who had
heard but little of him before were cyl
IDENTITY astonished at the power OF the new
man from Illinois He is a portly man,
in blue sack coat, light breeches, white
vest and cravat His face is smooth and
youthful, and he might easily be taken Tor
a boy if it were not fer his bald head. lie
is conscious of his power, and has a bad
habit at the close of his most impressive
sentence Of looking over the audience with
a smile of triumph, and displaying his
cold, glittering teeth in expectation OF the
applause which is bound TO come. lie
gesticulates chiefly with his head. which
beats violently forward towards the
audience as if it were trap hammer
driving his logic into them. his sentences
are as faultlessly constructed as though
written out by professor of logic anc
elocution, but he delivers them with al
the force of impromptu suggestions anc
the audience take them as if they were the
product of the moment.
JOHN A. LOGAN, OF ILL.
\ Logan is senator, but it would bt
difficult to imagine anything less sena
torial than that short, thick, powerful
frame and that singularly repulsive face
If man were to be selected from hun
} dred thousand to board a vessel, cutlass il
hand, and hew his way through ranks o
opponents over decks slippery with bloo'
Logan's long, coarse black hair, dark face
heavy jaws, cruel mouth, overhung by
, villanous moustache, and fierce, unblench
ing eyes would indicate the agent for til
, desperate work He is good Republican
but one cannot avoid thinking what a first
class pirate he would have made unde
favorable opportunities. He speaks effect
! lively to promiscuous crowd of partizan'
, for his voice is strong and brazen, an
strength of voice is half the art of orator
, iu . multitude where the task OF listenin
is SO difficult.

The large daily sales of clothing, hats
and caps etc. at Childs & Co.'S. Illinois
street fully sustains the assertion of the
concern that they mean business and are
determined to close out the finest stock of
goods at bed rock figures. This is no
humbug announcement made to deceive the
public and get rid of odds and ends, but a
bona fde clearance sale which must and
will be closed in 10 days more to make
room for an immense stock of fall goods,
now being made at Chicago by the whole
sale house of which this firm is branch.
Don't pay two prices elsewhere when you
can purchase of Childs & Co. for 40 per
cent less than any other concern in the

A Wrong Partially Righted,

1t was never an agreeable task, but it
was duty nevertheless, to call attention
to the wrong prepetrated by the Admis-
tration in removing the head boards FROM
the nearly 1000 graves of the Confederate
dead at Rock Island Arsenal and leveling
the graves even with the ground and. as
nearly as could be, obliterating all trace
of them. 1t was disgrace to a civilized
age to thus wreak spite upon the bodies of
the dead. And it was in such marked
contrast to the action Of the people every
where in the south, as there all graves of
union soldiers are protected apd decorated
the same as the graves Of their own dead.
THE ARGUS has never omitted any
reasonable opportunity to hold up to
public indignation the acts of those in
authority towards the dead soldiers alluded
to. AT last, public feeling became SC
aroused in regard to the matter that the
wrong has been partially righted, -and il
gives US pleasure to commend those who
have partially made amends for the wrong
The other day Mr.. Harper invited us &c
a seat in his carriage for ride (he often
does that and we owe him many thanks)
and during the drive we passed the place

it marks a line which perhaps even tn
cattle pastured on the Island by the Com
mandant of the Arsenal may respect. Oh

HOPE, LIKE AN ANCHOR, steadies
those who use tie means Providence has
placed in their way of guarding against

neglect to provide for the maintenance Of
health which out weighs all the treasures
OF earth combined. To sustain a hungry
man we give him food, and to replace the
wasted tissues Of the body by promoting
digestion and attending to natures re-
quiremeuts we advocate using the cele-

IF all the refuse and wasteage from city
aud country houses, hotels, &c, could be
utilized somehow for fertihzing purposes
what a reservoir of wealth would be OBJ
tanned. The problem is likely to be solved
in a practical way by what is called the
Dry Earth System" by which dry earth,
peat. or coal ashes is made to absorb and
neutralize everything offensive in the ex-
crement and refuse of the household.
Valuable information about this system
may be obtained from the circulars of the

Jail Delivery.

Last evening Sheriff Huesing despatched
Constable Flanagan to Pontiac, Livingston
county, to the state reform school, with
''Satan" Forsting, who had been sentenced
there for two years, but the western train,
on account of an accident at Stuart, Iowa,
was delayed so that between II and /
O'Clock ''Satan" was returned to Jail, and
this morning Constable Flanagan left with
him.
Deputy Sheriff Herkert was also de-
spatched this morning to jacksonville
with Mrs. Nelson, the insane (?) murder
ess, and her child, to the insane asylum.
Also with Mrs. Catharine Collins, wife o!
Cornelius Collins, of Port Byron, who
yesterday, was found to be insane by 9
jury, of which DR.. G. G. Craig was fore
man. The unfortunate lady is So years
old, and DR.. j. w. Morgan, of Port
Byron, testified that during the past ter
months, she has sunk into condition o.
domentia in consequence Of severe illness
from which she had suffered. We sincerely
hope she may be restored to health.
Mrs. Nelson, of course, is not insane
| aud never was. She murdered her hus
band purposely and premeditatedly ant
knew precisely what she was about
There was not word of positive evidence
that she was or ever had been insane, mol
= positive opinion to that effect from any
single witness. There was only the vague
opinion of several persons that it wa.
possible for person to have been insan,
in her situation. The jury, under tt,
evidence, should have sent her to the stat,
| prison.
