The Republicans have done their do,
and put forth their ticket; and now the
Democrats are to meet in Cincinnati, on
the 22nd to name ticket that can beat
them. In the national Democratic conven-
ton there will be 1888 delegates, and it will
take 493 TO make a choice. OF this mum

the rest is. divided on other aspirants, or
not known how they will vote. So, it
must be seen that, the work of selecting a
ticket is to be done after the delegates
reach Cincinnati and compare notes with
each other. If the Democrats make a
popular and harmonious nomination they
will elect their ticket.
We have searched long and diligently
for suitable man to represent this part of
the great state of Illinois in the general as
sembly. We longed to find some one upon
whose merits we could exercise all our
powers of commendation--in whose praise
we might be justified in eXhausting the
catalogue of complimentary terms, which
We have carefully hidden away ia our desk,
Tie galaxy Of illustrious names
passed before our minds eye like grand
panorama, glistening with stars OF dazzling
brightness; but none seemed to suit our
fancy until we came nearly to the end,
when 10 and behold. there was one which
shone forth like one of EdiSon's electric
lights, whose splendor darkened those
which had gone before 1t was the last
name on our list, which should have
been first. In letters of sulphur
and birthstone we read; "Justus
Cunningham" He must be our man. We
wanted man of brains, of honor, OF abil-
ity. We wanted man of physical as well
as mental power; who could stand face to
face with the greatest intellects Of the legis-
lature aud meet them in fiery debate, and
who could endure the fatigue of an
exciting campaign. Mr.. Cunningham was
the very man We had been looking for.
He is an able lawyer, forcible and log
ical speaker, and would soon become the
leading spirit in the hall of Illinois. He
understands the needs and wishes
of the people, and knows
exactly how to meet them. Our voice is,
therefore for Justus for representative IN the
state legislature from this senatorial dis

wait for the harvest II is the great source
Of wealth to our county. A few days more
and it will be thrown upon the markets Of
tie country; the exchange will return to
our people, thousands and tens of thous-
aads of dollars. Then the days of settle

lsborer, and payment of that note or mort
gage-and perhaps the poor printer, doctor
anu lawyer will each receive their dues.
All old accounts wiped out again, and the
farmer takes new annual start, his debts
all paid, and little ahead for a rainy day.
This day of payment, when the crops
are gathered, is the life of business. To
the farmer we all, in the greater degree,
owe our business and business success.
Without the farmer, what would the wealth
OF our county bel If the farmer prospers,
we all prosper If he fails, We all fail.
Our sympathies ever flow out to the farmer.
We want him provided with the best and
most reliable information touching the
best lnanures for his soil, the best manner
to till his crops, and how to secure the
greatest possible yield of grain from his
lands, and the best possible price for his
stock, produce, ETC. Indeed, inasmuch as
the agricultural interests are the
principal features of our business and
calling, every opportunity should be ex-
telied By legislative enactments and other
wise. to develop the agricultural interests
of the country True it is one business in
terest of our country should not be fostered
at the expense Of any other branch Of our
industry; but those industries which are
the most vital should first be considered,
sustained and supported. Let our farmers
pride themselves in their calling; develop
their stock and their lands; bcautify and
improve their homes, each according to his
Judgment and tastes. No calling is sus.
ceptible of such development, or can it .
made the source of so great comfort and
enjoyment.
