VOTE FOR LYMAN H. TOWER.

The strongest man on our county ticket ev-
erybody says is Lyman III. Tower, the Demo.
cratic candidate for State Senator. He is just
the kind of man to make an efficient and
useful senator. He is young, bright, quick
and active; a sharp business man, capital
manager and good organizer. Such men
without noise or FUSS always do nnetcnths of
the work in our Legislative bodies and accom-.
plish whatever they undertake. Now we have
no wish to institute "odorous comparisons; -
but imagine a dull, logy, heavy, immensely
selfmportant dignificd man in the senate at
work against bright, sprightly, thoroughly
posted "up-to.snuff" man like Mr.. Tower. La
Sale county has some very important interests
at stake that need sharp watching at Spring
field. We certainly want them watched over
in the senate by man that can't be stolen out.
Is there among all the candidates one to fill
the bill like Mr.. Towery 1t is to be borne in
mind, also, that while his superior shrewdness,
intelligence and business tact are indisputable,
no comparisons can be made against Mr.. Tow
er on the score of perfect uprightness and spot
less integrity of character. Mr.. T. has for
many years been charged with the handling
of vast sums of money for other people, and
otherwise placed in thousand situations to
bring his integrity to constant trial, yet no man
bears more spOtless name.

JOHN sHERMAN'S SIDE SHOW.

Honest members of the National Grcenback
party may scout the statement as an election
eerlng lie, but the proof in Ohio is abundant
and conclusive that the National Greenback
party in that state largely owed its working
organization to John Sherman, and received
most liberal material support from Washing
ton and Wall street. Why not? The thirty
thousand Nationals IN Ohio who voted the
separate National G. b. ticket were just ST
many votes taken from the Democrats. But fOl
Shcrman's success in trolling them off will
that side show, the Republican party would
have been beaten $4,000
Sherman's success in Ohio in manipulating
the Rag Baby" as he facetiously calls it, has
given him new hopes in the south, where he
imagines the same game can be played with
equal success to divide and conquer the de
mocrscy. Dispatches from New Orleans state
that all Sherman's officers and agents in the
custom house are openly and assiduously en-
gagged in organizing and consolidating the Ma
tional party in that city with the help of the
worst elements of the negro population, and
that they publicly boast their ability to defeat
the Democratic Congressional candidates un
der the cry of fiat money" As the white
citizens and property holders of New Orleans
are likely to be kept away from the city by
the yellow fever, these estimable citizens count
upon the epidemic rs their best ally. Speak
ing Of this shameless maneuvre, the St Louis
RepuJlican remarks, "The Emperor Nicholas
once put his faith, 1t will be remembered in
General January ana General February but
an American Secretary of the Treasury who
relies upon General Pesilence to give him Il
political victory over the financial principles
on which his own administration is ostenslbly
based will make still more CHASTITY figure IN
the history of our times"

A BASE FORGERY.

| For several weeks past the New YORK Tri.
bune has been publishing q series of telegraph
dispatches claimed to have passed in cypher
between Tilden and his friends and certain
southern returning board thieves in the fall of
1876, the whole revealing efforts on the part
of Tilden and his friends to bride said return.
Ing board thieves with view to securing sun
dry presidential electoral votes The dispatch.
es are said to have come clandesturely into
Ben. Buffers hands who gave them with the
key to the Tribune to print. The papers have
frequently charged that the dispatches were
forgeries, but the Tribune maintained their
genuineness and challenged Tlden to declare
otherwise Well, on Thursday Tildcn inserted
II card in the Tribune declaring cmphatically
otherwise AT least he AYERS energetically that

who had been actually chosen, none Of these
kilograms communicating such offer, or an
swering such Offer or relating to such offer
was seen by me, translated to me- or the con.
tents Of it in any manner made known to me-"
He further AYERS that although repeated offers
had been made to his friends to sell out south
ern electoral votes in December 1876, he had
always Indignantly repealed them. IF, " says
he, 1.-THE presidency of the United States was to
be disposed of by certificates to be won from
corrupt returning boards by any form of venal
inducements, whether of offices or money,
was resolved to take no part in the shameful
competition though he insinuates that the
pregnant fact that all the members of those
corrupt returning boards now hold important
federal Offices" Is proof that somebody else
did While the New York press seems to re.
gard the denial less full than il might be in re.
gard to Tilden's friends, it seems to be as com
plete and pointed AS any one can ask as to his
own connection with or knowledge of the dis
patches in question.

There is serious doubt as to the legality OF
the recent election of congressman in Iowa
A law of congress fixes the first Tuesday IN
November rs the day for electing congress
men except in states where, before that law
the day of election was otherwise fixed by con.
sttuional provision. Now Iowa, since the
passage of the law of congress, fixed the first
Tuesday of October as the date tor eiecting
con gressmen. She comes, therefore, in the
category Of Colorado, that two years ago elect.
ing a republican congressman IN October but
the democrats elected another in November
and he got the seat. In like manner the demo
Gratis are again nominating candidates forcon.
gressmen in Iowa to be voted for in Novem.
Der, while the republicans, after holding IA con.
sultation at Des Mones, have agreed TO abide
by the October election. The chances are
thus about dozen To one that tie democrats
will have the full delegation from Iowa in the
next house; for there is not a doubt that il
that party open polls in each district in No

Full details are given in the papers Of Col
Thornburgh's expedition in pursuit of the flu
gitive Cheyennes last week. The expedition
continued the chase to point IS miles north
west of camp Sheridan in eastern Wyoming
being often but hours behind the Indians
but through the incapacity OF the guides ant
singular ignorance on all sides Of the topogra
ply of the country, the command got hopeless
ly cntangled in the sand hills, and being day
or two without food or water, stood in danger
Of perishing, while the Indians meantime
made good their escape. Fortunately Col
ThOrnburgh struck Maj Cartoons trail, who
had gone to join him from Fort Robinson, and
thus meeting him was rescued from starvation
The savages of course knew tho country per
fectly, and having led Col Thornburgh into
the sand hills, disappeared as if by magic.
Returning to camp Sheridan, the expedition
was further Joined by Maj Dallas with four
infantry companies who had come up from the
soath in pursuit of the Indians. Here also the
command was met by Red Cloud and his prn,
clpal chiefs, who desired talk. Red Cloud
set at rest all apprehensions in regard to hos
tilities from the Sioux. He says he wants
peace, and in token of his sincerity promised
to arrest the flying Cheyennes If they came in
to his reservation, though they were his friends.
He was of opinion, however, that they had
gone westward; and also volunteered the opin-
ion that if they had been properly treated by
their agent in the Indian country there would
have been no trouble.

The ROCK RIVER CONFERENCE of the
Methodist Church. which includes Ottawa in
its jurisdiction, met last week at Mt. Carroll
| Ill. Aside from the usual routine business
the case of Dr. Thomas and Rev. J. f. Yates
seemed to attract chief attention. Mr.. Yates,
whose case thus appears for the third time be-
fore the conference, sued year ago for di-
vorce from his wife, but she filed a cross bill
and the jury found in her favor, granting her
IA divorce from Mr.. Yates on the ground OF
desertion. HIS case was referred to commit
tee, but how it was finally disposed of we fail
to gather from the newspaper reports of the
proceedings We notice, however that his
name is omitted in the appointments for the
coming year.
| In the case of DR.. Thomas, the conference,
after good deal of secret dellberatiOn and
the submission of u paper by the Doctor de-
| fining his views, came to the resolution that
Notwithstanding the character of the paper
submitted, in view Of the pledges he had
made, setting forth his purpose as to his future
teachings and hoping that he will respect the
judgment of his brethren now made known to
HIM, and not desiring to cut short his minis
try, which, however unsatisfactory in the past,
we believe may be useful in the future, we
deem it best, in the interest of charity and
peace, to take no further action in the premises
for the present.
The conference also censured the Rev. j. G.
Stoughton for accepting political nomination
for congress, but apparently having little fear
of his election, have assigned him for the
coming year to the charge Of the churches at
Oswego and Little Rock.
The following appointments were made for
