IT is said Mrs. Senator Bruce has
made her way into Washington
society without much apparent
trouble. When Mrs. Bruce took
up her residence in Washington,
the first person to call upon her
was Mrs. Hayes. Nearly all the
senators and a large number of
members wives followed. The
cabinet ladies were not behind hand
in paying their respects, and so
visits become general. Mrs. Bruce
is of fine presence; her complexion
is a rich olive; her hair jet black,
silken in quality aud l~ustrous in
hue ; eyes are full aud dark, and
teeth perfect. There is a grace in
her movements that auy lady might

there is a quiet dignity in her man.

THE APPROACHING CANVASS.

THE APPROACHING CANVASS.
Although the fall election is sew.
eral months in the future, yet al
this early date candidates are but
tonholing the citizens and smiling
sweetly upon the children of
voters, with II view of creating a
favorable impression on the part OF
We seekers after place and power.
The friends of candidates are be-
ginning to feel around, as it were,
to ascertain, if possible, if the pulse
of a certain suffragan beats in
unison with their favorite man,
and are counting noses to see what
are the prospects for such an one
to be elevated into Office upon the
ballots OF the sturdy voter. And
not unfrequently are We asked what
is to be the mode of placing in
nomination the candidates for dit
terent Offices. Some have suggest
cd the old democratic plan of call,
ing a nominating convention, 9th
ers suggest the more modern
method of primaries, while others
declare that the fairest means is to
throw down the bars, clap your
hands and give every man an even
start and have a free race.
While we would not presume to
decide for the people which is the
most practicable method of nominal,
ing candidates for Office, we will say
that our democratic brethren must
not become divided on this issue.
We strongly favor ar even start
and a free race for the nomination,
but bitterly oppose the idea OF the
denomination party, that is, to let
every man run who wishes to with
out rc~ce: wing the nomination either
before a convention 0 at Il primary
election.
The stalwarts-and under this
head we place republicans, indie
pendents, greenbackers, so-called,
and SOre-headS-are ever on the
aud are now lying low
waiting an opportunity to run in
their man whenever the democratic
ranks become divided to such an
extent as to let one of the "loyal"
slip through. Such things must
lot be. We have it in III power
elect good and true men to every
Office, and by standing to-
working in han mOny, and
in nomination competent
men, no fears need be entertained
# the result.
The greenback movement which
las gained some Roadway in the
lorthern portion of this State, is but
mother name for the detunct and
corrupt radical party, and the lead
rs are going to $ every means
possible to induce the people to
that the greenback Organi- !
alton Is the ouly II to redeem
he country and bring peace and |
~rosperity to our land. But not
D the old true and tried banne l
t democracy is the flag for our
outlern people to wave aloft, and 1
nder no other can we expect pros :.
Gritty and happiness. Therefore,
would say to our people, follow z
OF after strange gods, nor be led
by these new parties, but "
and solidly shoulder to shoulder g
the democratic ranks and all r.
i'll be safe.

INQUIRER.
A sstalwart" is one who believes 10
Republicanism as positive code of
political ethics as opposed to that mass
of social aud pol teal mischief which,
for the last forty years aud more, has
passed under the name of Democracy;
who believes in the perpetual ent ty of
his party whose issues, though their re-
lative importance may change fron
time to time, never die and never pass
out OF sight; who believes that there is
work to be done as long as sin and
Democrats are to be found in the land
and who does not sit down aud chant
the song of the millennium merely
because the enemy has been kept out
of the public crib SO long that his
voice has grown feeble. A. staIwart.

A Costly Crash.

WILMINGTON, ILL.,. February 81
At half-pa>t 1 o'clock this morning,
as an empty coal train was passing
over the great iron bridge of the Chi.
cago aud Alton Railroad, in this city,
a serious disaster occurred involving a
loss of thousands of dollars, if not ne
ss,tatlug au entire new bridge. The
span, extending from the north abut-
met to the first pier. Ito feet in
length, gave way aud precipitated
three coal cars into the canal channel 10
the Kankakee river. The cars and
span fell from thirty to forty sfeet, and
are total wreck. The middle and
south end of the bridge are also mater
lally injured by reason of the cars that
jumped the track at the time Of the
accident. Many attribute the disaster
to the keen frost which may have af-
fected the ponderous castings, while
others opine, very reasonably, that a
defective coal Car must have first jump
ed the track and struck the bridge at
angles. The engine aud six cars had
passed over the wrecked span. Three
Cars went down as stated and .the ca
boose of The train. thnty cars, more or
less. remained uninjured on the city
side of the bridge. That structure is
OF the Howe truss pattern, is 600 feet
10 length, and divided iuto five spans.
Pending repairs, all trains will, of
course, run between Joliet and Braid
wood, distance of twenty miles, on
the Coal City branch of the road.

and wait for the train would be the
