The Clermont p. p compliments our
whilom friend, j. D. Russell, of Buffalo
Grove, as an able champion of the
Gieenback cause, and advises all who
can to secure his services. Let's see
Mr.. Russell, two years ago, described
the money the Greenback party pro
posed to have" as follows:
1T IS an ems iaved piece OF paper, the back a
little green;sh, and on one side is printed ,nese
words: The United Sta .es ,cil pay the bearer
one hundred dollars on demdnd and on the 9TH
side: This note is legal tender for all dues,
both public and private, except on existing
contracts in which coin is promised, and is In
terchangable for United States bonds drawing
3.65 per cent interest"
Now, when Mr.. Russell, able cham
pion," &C., comes upon the stump this
year, it might be worth while to ask if
he still demands that sort Of money,
and if not, why not

IT may be expected by our estburg
friends that we notice the remarkable
effort of their windy reformer, Goen,
last Saturday evening, but our space
forbids. We recognize Goen as man
big with mission; very big fish in
very small puddle, according to his own
estimation, and that he thinks that upon
his shoulders rests the responsibility of
saving this county from the ''demnition
bow-wows." We have no disposition to
disturb his complacency, as it appears
to do him good, and affects nobody else.

A CORRESPONDENT, who signs him

A CORRESPONDENT, who signs him
self Junius," after two weeks of incu-
baton over the BULLETINS article on
county salaries, inficts upon the read
ers Of the Greenback organ, Of this city,
an article of two columns, which is de-
signed as reply thereto. It is not
really entitled to that appellation, for
it is simply made up Of denunciation
and misrepresentation of our position
with regard to the reduction of salaries,
the same being preceded by the usual
hypocritical commisseration of the de-
plorable condition " of the farmers, who
are represented as going naked and
hungry" and as deprived of the neces-
sites of life, through the reckless mis-
management of the Republican party.
While the article of Junius " abounds
in much of this sort of trash, designed
to infame the prejudices and obscure
the judgment Of the reader, it notably
evades the points made in our article.
1t fails to explain the notorious fact
that the opposition party in this coun-
ty, never raise the question of salaries,
except just before election, and then al
ways for partisan purpose. 1t is
careful not to refer to the results of the
pledging business in the past 1t makes
no mention of the sanity Rowe, the
idol and candidate of the Anti onopo-
ly party, of which the present Green
back organization is the successor; and
how in the campaign preceding his
election as County Superintendent, he
used to roll his eyes, and lift his hands
in holy horror over the corruption of
the Republican county officials; how he
pledged himself that if only he could
be entrusted with an office, these abuses
should be righted, and a reign of rigid
economy ensue; how he was elected,
and straightway began a systematic de-
pletion of the treasury for his personal
benefit, bringing in larger bills for less
work than any of his predecessors
or successors, in fact, organic
ing his office into suction
pump to draw off the public funds into
his own pocket. ''Junius" fails to tell
how other candidates on the same ticket
went into Office under similar pledges of
and then proceeded to
disregard them. He fails to give any
reason why similar pledges at this time
will be any better kept, or in what re-
spect the men who are now bidding for
the Offices are any better or more relia-
BILE than Rowe and company.
Regarding this matter of the salaries,
the BULLETIN stands on the resolution
adopted by the Republican county con-
vention. 1t favors reduction for the
reason therein stated, and having so
placed itself on the record, it leaves the
where it belongs, with the
aw-making power. 1t is quite probable
that it will continue to express its con-
tempt for the petty trickery Of those
who make use of the issue to give the
offices to second-rate men, not daring to
20 before the people solely upon the
ability and qualifications of the candi
1ates

THE Republicans of Colorado send
greeting to their brethren on this side
the big river. On Tuesday they elected
their entire State ticket by clear ma
jority of $500 over both Democrats and
greenbackers, and, better still, triumph
antly reelected to Congress, Mr.. Bel
ford, who was so shamelessly cheated
out of his seat by the Democratic ma
jority Of the present House. Let this
healthy breeze from the mountains
nerve the Republicans of Iowa to do
stalwart work next Tuesday.

PERHAPS the Dubuque Herald and

PERHAPS the Dubuque Herald and
other Democratic papers of this district
know what they are doing, but it would
seem that the bullying, dictatorial style
that they have adopted toward Mr.
Spangler to induce him to leave the
Congressional course, would have the
directly opposite effect upon any self
respecting man. 1t is none OF our quar-
rel, and we have no particular interest
in how it comes out, .but it would not be
strange if Mr.. Spangler had already de-
cided that the thing has gone too far,
and that due regard for his own honor
would forbid his yielding to this sort Of
dictation.

BISHOP KAHN SEREsADED.-Last night
about 10 o'clock a number OF leading
Catholic citizens, accompanied by the
Wheeling City Band, called at the resi-
dence OF Bishop Kain, In the Cathedral
building, and rendered him serenade, as
an expression Of their satisfaction at the
selection Of successor 10 Pope Plus TX.
After several airs had been played by the
band, the Bishop made q few remarks
from window In the building. He be.
gan by complimenting his friends for the
compliment, which be did not receive as
an honor to himself, but as sponta.
neous expression Of satisfaction at the
election OF 4 successor to the great
Pope Plus 1Xth, who had filled the
sublime office SO acceptably for thirty
two years. Anew days ago, he continued,
the hearts OF two hundred and fifty mill
lions Of good Christian people were bowed
down with grief at the death Of the great
and good Pope, who was beloved by all.
Now there was feeling Of joy that the
Sacred College had selected so eminent
person 10 succeed to the chair Of st.
Peter as Pope Leo &1Ilth. He could
not say that he knew much OF Pope Leo,
but from the fact that the selection had
been made so soon. he drew the conclu.
sion that the new Pontiif was In every
way eminehtly qualified to carry on tie
good work Of Pope Plus 1Xth.
Three cheers were given for Pope Leo
XITIth, and three more for Bishop Kahn,
after which the gentlemen Of the com.
mittee were invited by Father Sullivan
to enter and partake Of refreshments,
whereupon the reporter, with the crowd,
took his way hence.

"Pap" Feunimore has been the victim
OF sharp tricks, practiced by half grown

which was played one evening this week,
when two OF them called at his store as
he was closing up for the night and asked
for some articles, which were given them,
and they threw the change down on the
counter and hurried out. Upon examin'
ing the money it was found 10 be bogus.
Only few days since the same parties
called one evening, bought half dimes
worth Of stogies, giving him fifty cent
piece, got the change and rushed out OF
The store, leaving him short the stogies
and forty-fye cents in good money. His
failing eyesight was at fault, but he says
that hereafter he will examine the money
before filling the orders Of suspicious
