j. III GoEN, Democratic candidate fol-
Supervisor, of Westburg township
sends us, with a request that we pub
fish it, resolution passed by meeting
of the citizens of that township, togeth
er with some comments thereon by Mr.
Goen. The resolution and Mr.. Goen's
remarks are as follows:
Resolved, BY the electors present; That we
irrespective of party, pledge ourselves to vote
only for such nominees for county offices as
publicly pledge themselves to a reduction OF
their own salaries and to work for a reduction
of all county officials salaries.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we of Westbure
mean business. The county expenses
must be reduced, and we propose tc
vote only for men who will labor to re
duce them to correspond with other
things at the present.
L heartily endorse the sentiments ex-
pressed in the above resolution, and
pledge myself that if elected to the of.
flee in connection with which my name
is used, to labor to attain the END
sought therein.
We hope to see every candidate fol-
public Office in Buchanan county as
publicly committed on this matter as
am. Come up, gentlemen, and face the
music. j. III. GOEN.
Mr.. Goen says, the county expenses
must be reduced" With all our heart
say We But will Mr.. Goen explain
why he proposes to expend his entire
energies upon the one issue of the sal
aries. These constitute but a compar.
lively small drain upon the treasury, as
they are largely paid by fees from liti-
giants, land spectators, &c. Another
big leak. resulting from the enormous
court expenses, every cent of which
comes directly from the treasury Mr.
Goen makes no mention of, though as
Supervisor he will have about as much
jurisdiction over one as the other 1t
looks as though the mind of the would
be reformer, of Westburg was travelling
in a very small circle or that he regards
the former issue as more convenient to
use for the advancement of j. II. Goen
than the general issue of retrenchment

ONE effect of the recent election in
Maine is practically to wipe out the
Democratic party in that State, and re-
mand it to the position of newer of
wood and drawer of water to the Green
back party. The latter elected two
members of Congress and polled an ag-
gregate vote of nearly 10000 in the
State The Republican vote was how
ever, 10000 greater than last year, while
the Democracy come fully 10000 short
of their last year vote. The desper-
ate strait of the once proud Democracy
is illustrated by the fact that their or
CANS are growing over the situation thus
deycloped.

should farmer, who sells his produc-

occupation, who hopes by his thrift and

JUDGE BRANNAN, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the I'd Dis
trict, deserves the commiseration Of al
kind hearted people. In reply to 6
proposition by Hon. Hiram Price, the
Republican candidate, in view Of the
difference of opinion regarding the prop
err time for the election, to pledge him
self to abide by the decision in October
Judge Brannan says:
Not being an independent candidate dc
not consider myself at liberty to accept the
proposition l would give considerable to be
out of this. am not here of my own choice
and l have no right to pledge anything"
Here is chance for some benevolent
Individual to take that irksome nomina
ton of the Judges hands-for a con
sideration.

The Dubuque Times has Information
of an intrigue put up by the Democrats
of this district in connection with Ed
Campbell and other members of the
party in the State at large to drive
Spangler off the track for Congress
The plan is to trade off the Democratic
candidates on the State ticket to the
Greenbackers in consideration of Spang
ler's retirement and the support Of
O'Donnell by the Greenback party. We
apprehend that Spangler will have
something to say about this matter, ano
that he will be found as hard to drive
as one of his breechiest bulls.

SECRETARY EvARTs was captured
by newspaper man few days since
and induced to give expression to his
views upon the present political situa-
ton. His answer to the question
docs the National party seem to you
at present, a dangerous factor in poll
TICS" bears, in marked degree, the i'm
press of his logical mind. 1t was:
1T will have no lasting strength, because il
has no basis of ideas The moment tho Ma
tionals begin to talk, they show that they don't
think. have heard considerable fear express
ed that the Nationals will hold the balance OF
power in the New York and Pennsylvania leg
fslatures. But they will vote for Repnbli-
can or a Democrat for Senator finally. AS to
the influence of the National party in weaken
ing the two older parties, outside movements
weaken the Republican party. This National
movement, on the other hand, it seems to me.
will draw more heavily from the Democrats
than the Republicans
Those two ideas, that the Greenback
party is not strong, because the mass OF
it's voters do not think, and that the Re-
publican party can only be permanently
weakened by movements impelled by
moral ideas, go right to the foundation
of the whole matter. Judgment and
reason have no place in the Greenback
movement, because they would be fatal
to it. Instead, we see the followers
kent at a red heat of passion and excite
ment by infammatory appeals from
selfish demagogues, whose interest it is
to give them no opportunity for thought
or candid examination Of the theories
and facts laid before them. The fact
that this crusade Of unreason cannot be
kept up forever, and that reason and
conscience will again resume the as
tendency, settles the fate OF the Green-
back party.

Hon. TACK CHANDLER has his doubts
about the real desire of the Potter
Committee to uncover fraud. In q re-
cent speech in Michigan he said:
If that Potter Committee were really
in search of fraud, there was one man
in this country who could have given
them an immense amount OF informa-
ton on the subject Of fraud. Why did
they not summon me? l could trace
every fraud of the last election to No.
Is Gramercy Park, in the City of New
York. They were afraid they would
get more fraud than they wanted.

AFTER great deal of backing and
filling, and maneuvering, of one sort OF
another, the Democracy have at last
succeeded in securing candidate for
Congress, who will stick. The man
who has consented finally to accept
the crown of martyrdom in the
cause of pure and unadulterated
Democracy, is Fred O'Donnell
of Dubuque, of whom it may be
said, in passing, that he deserves bet
ter fate. The nomination is very re-
spectacle one for the Democracy, Mr..
ODonnell, being young man of bright
parts, unexceptional character, and great
popularity with his party friends. He
does not, of course have the least idea
that he can run in, and he enters the field
with the express understanding with
his hackers that the canvass shall cost
him nothing but his time, and that his
inevitable efeat,shall not count against
him in the future. His consent to run

THE Dubuque Herald is making a
desperate effort to manufacture capital
against Mr.. Updegraff on account of his
vote in the Legislature in favor of the
two-mile law Said law simply extends
the jurisdiction Of the authorities Of in
corporated towns and cities two miles
beyond their corporate limits, and con-
fers upon them the right within those
limits to regulate, prohibit or license
the sale of ale, wine and beer. 1t also
prohibits said sale on election days
within two miles of the place OF cleo
ton. AS the power of municipal cor
porations to prohibit the sale of wine
and beer cannot be exercised until it
has been confirmed by the votes of the
people of the locality at the polls, the
two-mile law is an application Of the
principle of local option, and no reason
able man who comedies the right Of the
people to regulate these things for
themselves will condemn Mr.. Upde-
graft for his vote The moral people of
the district, and those who believe that
every community should have the pow
err to shield itself from decentralization
debauchery and crime, will applaud the
firmness and independence that charac-
terized Mr.. Updegraff's action in this
matter.

was given at conference of the Dis
trict Democratic Committee in Dubuque
last Thursday, and his letter of accep-
lance appeared in the Herald Of Satur-
day.
| Preliminary to this action, the Demo
cratic Committee summoned Mr.. Spang.
Ter, the Greenback nominee, before
them, and he, probably anticipating that
the invitation might mean the dearly
sought for Democratic endorsement OF
his candidacy, with all alacrity FASTENED
to Dubuque. When he got there, how
ever, he found the Democracy as disin
clined for fusion, with him as the can
didate, as before. Their one infexible
proposition, as we are informed through
one who was present, was, that Mr.
Spangler get out of the way, in which
case they offered to endorse the nomina
ton of Mr.. Moore, or some other Green
hacker of requisite ability to make re
spectacle Congressman, and also to re-
imburse Mr.. Spangler for the money he
has already wasted to his campaign
TO all this the man of short horns loft
lily responded, like the boy in the ole
mans apple tree, in the old primer, that
he would not come down." that his
friends in the country informed hin
that he had more votes than both the
old parties combined, and that as fal
as he could see, he was on the straigh,
road toward Washington. This natur
ally brought the conference to a close
but not until one of the Democratic
conferees had relieved his mind by tell
ing Spangler that he was not seconc
Solomon, or words to that effect; per
haps trifle more emphatic.

A correspondent of the State Register
at Greenfield, Adair Co., says that Gil
lette. the Greenback candidate for Con-
gress in the first district, in his speech
at that place, advised his hearers not to
read any papers except such as support
the Greenback theories. Gillette is
keen enough to appreciate the fact that
error is only effective where truth is not
free to combat it; and upon the avoid
ance Of this conflict he rests his only
hope of success The Greenback move
ment has the same characteristics ev-
erywhere 1t appears to poor advan-
tage on the field of argument and dem

MIR. II II. STEvENs-Dedr Sir:-Your Veg
etine has been doing wonders for me. Have
been having the chills and fever, contracted in
the swamps of the South, nothing giving me
relief until began the use of your Vegetine,
1t giving me immediate relief, tOning up my
system, purifying my blood, giving strength;
whereas all other medicines weakened me and
filled my system with poison; and 1 am salts
fled that if families that live in the ague dis
tricts of the South and West would take Vege-
tine two or three times week, they would
not be troubled with the chills or the malig-
nant fevers that prevail at certain times Of the
year, save doctors bills, and live to a good old

cured? Why is this medicine performing such
great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the cir
eulating fluid 1t can truly be called the Great
Blood Purifyer. The great source of disease
originates in the blood; and no medicine that
does not act directly upon it to purify and rem.
ovate. has any just claim upon public ntten.

HOW TO SUCCEED.


The first requisite to success IL not
to undertake an unwise and imprac-
ticabIe thing. For this reason the all
vice often incuIcated by wise and
great men has been to give much time
and reflection to the formation of plans.
Be slow to decide; but, having re-
solved, be prompt to act.
It is not sufficient, by any means,
to be prompt in beginning to act. That
is easy to every one. 1t is the con-
tinued, persevering, unhagging activ-
ity which, alone, accomplishes great
results.
The temptations which beset ones
steps at every stage to divert his at
tention from the main pursuit he has
fixed on. are almost innumerable, and
to the irresolute and weak they are
found irresistible. This accounts for
numerous failures.
If a man has not attained to what
he started for it will almost always
be found that he has been attending
to something else. The song of the
bird by the wayside fell upon his ear
and charmed his senses, or the bright
flower caught his eye, and he fingered,
when his pace should have been on
ward and firm and quick
If you would insure success in your
undertaking, whatever it may be, let
nothing divert your attention from it.
Leave nothing undone, no matter how
seemingly little and unimportant it
may be, which is calculated to pro-
mote its accomplishment. There is
no other way to make success certain.
1t is not luck. 1t depends on doing,
doing, DOING.
Yet simple as the lesson of success
is-few as are its requisites-there is
nothing that people are slower to
learn IN. Y. Ledger.
