PAYING FINES,

The ordinances in relation to gambling
and prostitution are being vigorously en-
forced. Over 500 in fines have been col
lected. A sufficient amount will DO col,
lected to meet the expenses of retaining
the police force, which was cut of one
member.
A number of hard wretches that infesr-
ed this community have left for parts un>
known. The community is well without
them. The operation of the ordinances
proved as we expeeted-the Kidding of a
class of dead beats. thieves and eye sores.
The number OF gamblers has been reduced,
and of this class we feel charitable enough
to say that their operations have been
confined TO what is known as legitimate
and honorable gambling

The Rev. Luman Judd, receiver of the
land Office at Springfield, publishes a letter
in the Herald in which he announces that
Bartlett Trip is to have his distinguished
support :his year. The Rev. Luman Judd
will hear from his brother in a few days
and then he will have to take it all back.
His brother will tell him that the democra-
tic party will not elect q president neat
time and will Assure the reverend better
that if he desires to retain his federal posi-
ton he had better stay in the party which
gave it to him, aud not sneak away under
the false belief that he is straddling the
winning horse. Then the Rev. Luman
Judd will rub his two hands together and
in accents soft and mild will whisper into
the public ear that he is not yet ready to
pool issues with the democratic party.

II OUTLOOK.
Springfield Times,

Springfield Times.
The nomination of Bartlett Tripp ESQ.,,
by the democracy for delegate in congress,
has acted like IN emetic,! lin one sence, upon
the rank and file Of that party. 1t has
caused them to throw of . large amount of
surplus wind that has been accumulating on
their stomachs for several years past, and as
a consequence they feel extremely happy.
MI. Trip is a lawyer of recognized ability,
and q gentleman whom to know is to respect
and esteem. This much we can say for him
with great cheerfullness, and we apprehend
our democratic friends will not deny that
the same truthful remark will apply with
| equal force to Judge Bennett.
Since the first few days after the nomina.
ton of Judge Bennett,when the sting, of dis
appointment was being sharply felt by many
republicans, there has been a marked change
in public sentiment for the better. Many
have in their calmer judgment, taken a
broader view Of the situation, and wisely
concluded it is far better to bear the ills we
have than to fly to those we know not OF.
In the present campaign there is an issue
of principles involved which must be fairly
and squarely met. There can be no person
al issues raised-no defamation of private
character on the one side or the other.
Both candidates are gentlemen of real worth
and intelligence, and hence no man can
prefer the n to the other on personal
grounds. What then is to be the guide
whereby our great mass of electors are to
determine for which candidate they shall
vote. Simply the principles and political
doctrines which the two men represent must
be the turning point of preference between
them. Both gentlemen are put forward as
Representatives of the two great parties
one Of the republican party, the other Of
the democratic party. So those who love
the old party Of the Union-the party of
freedom and equal rights to all before the
law-the party that has protected with its
might free labor and free schools, and pro-
vided free houses and free lands for the land.
they will vote. Let the column move on,
and let there be no deserters just before the
battle.

THAT POPULARITY.

chorus dwindled to only a time about duet,
as Howard and Sweetzer alternately said
"Trip" until finally, after . half dozen
eDunciations Of the stumbling name, some
others came 10 their assistance. sad Mr.
Tripp then came to the rescue. No. II
Mr.. Trip is depending upon intense popu'
lar regard to take him TO congress, he ought
to carry some canned or picked enthusiasm
with him. for he didn't seem to inspire any
great mount Of the native sort in these
parts.
