ID. l.. Phillips, one of the proprietors OF
the state organ of the Republicans, the
Springfield Journal, and now the Repub.
lican candidate for congress against Hon.
VIM. NJ. Springer, of that district, is
spoken CT by the San Jose, California,
Herald as follows:
From late Illinois papers we learn that
ID. Il. Phillips, of Springfield, in that
state, and candidate OF the Republicans OF
the Sangamou district for congress, Dies
not find the race a howery one His visit
TO California last year as q SPY or special
agent OF Grant and BabcOck, il now har-
vesting heavy crop Of thorns which inter
rupt his ambitious footsteps at every turn
When Phillips undertook 10 burst up the
San Francisco whisky ring he tried il by
showing his credentials from the White
House, but no sooner had the gang discov
cred that the Sucker was as deep 10 the
mire as they were in the mud, than they
at once rejected bis overtures for partner
ship. Chagrined at such unexpected dis
comfture, he sought TO destroy our lovely
revenue clique by suborning witnesses to
swear them into premature prison cells.
This also failed, and Phillips is now bother
ed to clear himself of charges preferred
by his own political friends, for it must be
remembered that there were then, as
there are TO- day, two wings of the coast
whisky ring, bat both acting under q
treaty offensive aud defensive when the
covetous spies from the east are sent
hither 10 smell up the little mice. One Of
these branches Phillips attacked, and the
other will not help him out Of bis ugly
scrape Besides this, he'll be beaten fol-
congress by an honest man.
