The pefnnct Republican Party.

Genl Fitzpatrick once said. when writ
ing from Indiana. that he thought a
" bloody shirt campaign with plenty of
money in it would win. and in this coun-
ty the Republicans are following pretty
much the same tactics, only their cry is,
: bluff game campaign, with plenty Of
cheek and money 10 it. This is the
true status of the case and fairly illustrates
the Republican tactics in this county.
Within short time they realize that the
usual bravado style and whip 'em in"
process won't win, so they are now making
desperate fight for continuation OF supre-
macy. The Oldest citizen cannot recall a
time when twenty-five speeches were an
nounced for this county in an off year, and
no better proof is needed for Democrats TO
convince them that victory is sure to be
with the democracy. The Republican
party is sadly demoralized in this county
and district, and all that Democrats need
to do is to stand squarely by the entire
Democratic ticket. No better organization
exists in this county for the democracy than
now aud what is still better indication,
Democrats are hopeful and confident OF
success, Democrats will do well to look at
this matter candidly. and see to it that
every Democratic vote is polled. We say
to the Republicans and Nationals, and we
indulge in no idle boast either, that the
Democratic party is going to win in this
contestl We make this assertion boldly
and fearlessly, and because Ue haze the
facts to proUc IL, if we 50 desired. The
Republicans are thoroughly alarmed, and
although they talk loud" and do an i'm.
mense amount Of Dragging their leaders
knO11 that defeat aWaits them. The De.
Drcracy have now an opportunity to win q
glorious victory; the Democratic party has
the UOteS to secure it. and, mark the pre-
diction, the Democracy aotU soin. Don'i
forget this assertion, please. You Repub
licans who are on the fence, now is your
time to jump, if you want to be in time
for the grand joilifcation.

Employing the expletive applied by sew
eral OF his contemporaries, we have only to
say, that the "damnedest fool 10 Illinois, -
who edits the Peoria National Democrat
grows fool-er and fool-er every day. In
several issues be has used bitter and jeer-
ing language concerning the poIiical course
of the ARGUS. of which ge have never be-
fore taken notice.
If we may be permitted to put it in so
mild a form, we would suggest to the
"damnedest fool aforesaid, the prupriety
OF devoting his attention principally to his
own paper, aud 10 running it according to
the necessities of the latitude and IoDgi-
t1de 10 which be lives--as near as be
knows how. His political straddes and
gratuitous advice are of no earthly use
over here.

to become such an adept in political duuli.
