A. J. Srreeter.

This gentleman possesses some ability
and reputation for good sense, but like a
good many others his great ambition for
Office led him off into the third party.
Like our young hotel friend, he must have
some office, and despairing of ever getting
1t in his own party he jumped into the first
party Offering a nomination. Mr. Streeter
however, didn't wait for offers, but made
a party of his own, and, if he remains on
the track till election will probably poll
the full party vote, as lie feels confident of
Streeter's vote at al hazards. The Aledo
Record thus speaks Of the party:
The national" greenback convention
for the 10th Illinois congressional district,
which met at Bushnell on the 18th of
June, nominated Auson j. Sreeter. OF
Mercer county, tor representative to con,
gress. This has been the object of Mr.,
Streeter's ambition for years. For il, he
has worked early and late. in season and
out of season; 10Th the democratic party
when he had any prospect 10 it; against
the democratic party when it would not
second his ambition. Ever since Mr.
Streeter was chosen to the legislature he
has looked on seat in congress
with covetous eye, until be deems him
self the only man in the 10Th district
capable of dischareing it's duties satisfac
torily-to him. Imbued with this idea,
he has been a very Samson in the green
back cause. If an article was to be written,
Streeter appointed himself a committee OF
one to write it; if speech was to be made,
Sreeter volunteered to make it; if a
meeting was to be called. Streeter wrote
the call, drafted the platform, and made
the speeches; he was the Alpha and
Omega of the great national greenback
party in the 10th congressional district
and if it wanted its principles aired in the
halls of congress, who but Mr.. Streetel
could air them?
