HON w. S. BROOKS FOR CONGRESS.

The democratic convention at Morris on
Wednesday resolved unanimously to adhere to
the nomination of the Hon. W. 5, Brooks for
rengress-first, because he was the man the
lronvcnton wanted and secondly, because Mr..
Brooks had not at any Tune declined the form
denomination Of the conwcnion-ihough mani
testing mainly on account Of sickness III his
family, great reluctance to accept it.
The nomination is in all respects fit one to
be madc-the best in short, that could have
been made Mr.. Brooks, on account of his
acknowledged superior intelligence and abill-
ty, as well as known integrity of character and
purity of life, is Il desirable candidate above
almost any other man in the district on the
score of personal popularity, AS shown by his
election to the state senate some years ago in
strong republican district; as well as on the
score of his consistent record rs II staunch
democrat. In that respect he stands on the
Illinois democratic platform. Though de
nounoed by the opposition AS grcenback
platform, Mr. Brooks is a greenbackcr to just
that extent IIebcievcs in an exclusive paper
currency issued from the national treasury and
kept at par with gold and silver, All demo
Gratis are agreed to that and few so.called green
hackers or nationals" ask for more.
But aside from questions Of currency, taxa
ton and revenue, on all Of which Mr.. Brooks
of course stands solid with the democracy of
the country, there are other questions constant
" arising III congress, such as concern our
great western land carriage and water ways, in
which Illinois has vital but heretofore shame
fully neglected interest, and in regard to these
Mr. Brooks is especially alive and well inform
ed His action in regard to matters Of this
class while in the state senate showed his in
tellIgent appreciation of their great Importance.
Illinois just now has especial need Of such
men in congress The nation is on the eve Of
a new era of prosperity. The action of con
grcss will have much TO do in deciding whch-
er the east, west or south shall reap the greater
harvest We want men in congress who are
something more than mere whippersnappcr
politicians. We want men Of sound, practical,
intelligent business common sense like Mr..
Brooks, and not mere noisy llght-weights, like
his opponent

vcntion, resumed the chair, and in the absence
Of one Of the former secretaries, Henderson OF

Hon. =. a. Armstrong, chairman of the dis
trict central committee, stated that when the
committee, appointed at the former meeting of
this convention to inform Mr. Brooks of his
nomination. went to Joliet Mr. Brooks was
absent; but his friends having stated so posi-,
lively that on account Of sickness in his family
he would decline the nomination, the commit
tee had decided in accordance with the reso-
luton of the former meeting, to re.assemble
the convention Mr. Brooks, however, had
within few days returned home and finding
his son, on account of whose i'll health he had
been so anxious, very much improved, and
never having formally declined the nomina
ton rendered by the convention, was now
ready to accept it, if this convention desired
him to do so. Mr.. Armstrong therefore,
moved that the former nomination of Mr..
Brooks be adhered to by reclamation,
Hon Samuel Nicholson, of La Sale, in sec
onding the motion, SAID that in company with
Mr. l.. w. Brewer and NJ. T. Molony of Otta-
wa, he had that morning had an interview
with Mr.. Brooks at Joliet and after jointly
and earnestly impressing upon him the impor-
lance Of his acceptance, had received from him
positive assurance that if this convention adj
hcred to his nomination he should accept it
and at once enter upon an active canvass.
After some further remarks the question was

MAINE ELECTION,

Had there been an earthquake in Maine
on Monday, and half the republican party
been swallowed ur, the leaders would hardly
have been more terrified and astounded than
they are at the result of Mondays election IN
that state. For the first time the rock rooted
and mountain buitrcsscd republican party Of
Maine finds itself defeated and routed Ac-
cording to the last summing up, Conner, re-
publican candidate for Governor, got in
round figures, So 600 votes, Smith, greenbacker,
| 81 600, and Garceon, democrat, 10000, the
Opposition" beating the republicans by 5000
In the Legislature the republicans have II
members, the greenbackers 50 and the demo.
Gratis 30, giving the opposition 81 against Il
Republicans. As the election of Governor and
other state officers is thus thrown upon the leg
| isature, the chances are that the next govern
or of Maine will be n greenbacker or demo
crat.
In regard to congressman, the democrats
and nationals having united upon Laid, a
democrat, in the 4th district, Ladd is elected,
and in the 9TH district grccnbacker by the
same combination, defeats the republican Hale,
who was known in the last congress as
"Blainc's tumble-bug."
Though on its face IA great triumph for the
grccnbaCkcrs, the result IN Maine Is only Il
proof of what the greenbackcrs and democrats
can do by joining teams. The greenbackcrs
OF Maine had nominated II strong ticket, with
men ut its head who had been lifelong demo
Gratis, ana there was nothing in the plat
form of their state convention to which the
democrats objected There was, therefore II
very strong feeling among the democrats
against nominating another ticket, which ac-
counts for the large democratic vote that was
cast for the grccnbaCkcrs, though it is mani
that the latter party must also have drawn
heavily from the republicans. AS the nation.
ais of Maine share none Of the wild, irrational
currency and communstic ideas of some of
the lights of that party in the large eastern cit
les and occasionally in the west there is no rca-
son why there may not he II fusion of the ma
tiUnas and democrats OF Maine rs there is sub
stanlially now in Ohio, and thus the state be
permanently lost To the republicans.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

Our reporter has given atul and graphic ac-
count of the proceedings Of the republican
county convention on Tuesday, SO that there is
nothing to add.
The nominees, too, can be readily disposed
of After ]. +. Nash had peremptorily refused
to allow his name to be used IN the convention,
and John II. Widmer had as peremptorily de-
clined the nomination for state senator the
convention was obliged to select from such
timber as they had left and in taking Samuel
r. Lewis they certainly did not take the worst.
He is Il solid, substantial granger, Of rather
limited education, hat of much good solid

sturdy honesty than rs an adroit manager and

He made a good, seryiceable member two years
ago and had fairly earned the compliment of "A
denomination Frank Bowen rs the other
candidate for representative Is regarded rs
rather weak, and his nomination is held by
some of the faithful asa covert maneuvrc IN
favor of John Miller.
Sheriff Stevens, of course, was the best and
strongest nomination they could make for

Nelson. there was no use III foolng with sec.
ond rate timber.
The choice of DR. Petit for coroner was
equally iudicious, and if elected, the only gen.
cral regret Will be that the office is not worth
a thousand or two instead ola meagre hundred
dollars or two.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

Senator Thurman IN his great campaign
speech at Athens Ohio, last week, laid down
the true doctrine held by the democratic party
and threcfourths Of the sO.called greenbackcr'
on the currency question He wa.s replying tC
the republican Objection against the propose
ton to substitute $500 100000 of additional
grecnbacks for national bank bills:
1s, Because congress has no constitutional
power to issue lcgal-tender notes in a time OF
peace; and, second that it would be "A breach
of faith, inasmuCh AS congress solcmnly de
'clared that not more than $4000O00OO green
backs should be issued, and this measure
would make the amount $GGS 100000
Senator Thurman denied that the supreme
court had decided against the authority Of con
grcss to issue legal tender notes in time OF
peace, though it was doubtless true that Grant
had to pack the court to prevent such decis
ion; but admitting that congress does moi
possess that power it does have unlimited
power to issue treasury notes without making
them legal tendcr-and these would be just as
good as bank notes, which themselves are not
legal tcnycr. Secretary Sherman himself
maintains that $500, 000,0 greenbacks ought
to be kept in circulation, because they consti
tute the best and cheapest paper money that
can be devised, if they are convertible into
coin. But if $300,0OO000 grccnbacks are so
desirable, an equal additional amount issued
to replace the national bank notes would be
desirable, too and 1t would make no differ
tbn, NJ
tender or not, provided they were redeemable
in com.
As to the other objection that it would be a
violation of faith to issue $685., 100000 new
grccnbacks, thus making the whole amount
ISSUED SGG8,00O000, after declaring that the
whole issue should not exceed $400,0000OO,
Senator Thurman shows that this pledge was
nothing more than an act of IA republican con
gress, and asks what is there to prevent sub
sequent congress from repeating it? Are the
ordinary acts Of Il republican congress irrepcal-
able no matter how objectionable and Cypress
i've they may become? As to the breach OF
faith, Senator Thurman showed that, after the
republican congress had SOlemnly declared that
no more than 800, 100000 greenbacks should
be issued, IA subsequent republican congress
established the national banks and authorized
them to Issue S4O0,000V0O additional currency
thus furnishing an example OF the very VIC
lation of faith which the republican leaders
now so vchemently deprecate. If the pledge
after being given was violated in the interest
of the national banks, why, asks Mr.. Thurman,
may it not be violated again in the interest of
the people?

Vermont held an election last week and the
result is that the Dutch again have taken IIol-
land The regulation republican majority of
$4,000, however, is cut down to 1900 The
republican vote has fallen off, as compared
with 1876, from 1900 to 10000 the democra-
tic vote from 10000 to 1900, showing that the
grcenback and scattering vote last week of
$3.50 must have been at least us largely drawn
from the republicans as democrats though in
either case it was so insignificant as to cut no
figure
