ton called, the National Committee
called, Henry Watterson and Gener-
al Sam Cary, and other Democratic
pilgrims called, and all had taffy in
chunks for him. If anyone called
on John Kelly nothing has been said
about it If Tammany has had any
offers of political taffy it has been
given on the sly. Gramercy Park
is the Democratic Mecca, and Tilden
is the prophet. If Hancock goes
into the White House, Tilden will
sit squarely on his shoulders. Yet
everybody knows if it was not for
Tilden's barrel, which is hoped will
not be put on tap, he would be left
alone the worst of any man in or
out of New York.

The Democrats might possibly have
made a nomination which he would
not have supported, but never could
have voted for Garfield, without do
ing violence to his sense of right,
for kepublicanism in its every dis
tinctive feature is abhorent to him.
Considering the standpoint of his
judgment, nothing could more cord
tally commend General Garfield to
genuine Republicans than the three
following sentences from letter
written by Black from Paris, June
%, to the editor of the Philadelphia
Times, Alexander Mcclure 'If,'
writes the venerable jeremiah, she
"(Garfeld) would carry the priuci-
spies aohjch regulate his pricate life
"dnto his public conduct, he ,co,tla
snake the best CHEF Nagjstrate nee
share erer had. But he will act for
"the interest of his party, as he has
"acted all his lifetime, and that will
"require him to take the advice
(which Stephens gave to Montpelius
sin the bnckshot war. ] do not
"know any really good man who has
"done and assisted in doing so many
chad things in politics as General
I"Garfield.' Without stopping to
inquire into the specific bit of local
history referred to, one sees with
perfect clearness that in Judge
Blacks opinion General Garfield is
at once the best Of men and the best
CT Republicans. He is q "stalwart."
Judge Black has oar thanks for
his testimony to the stalwartism of
General Garfield. 1t was very we'll
known before, still this italacism of
it cannot fail to increase the enthus-
iasm for the Sage of Mentor His
testimony is simply thus: Garfield
is the whitest of white men, and the
blacklist of "black Republicans. -

A question for the Democracy: Did you
ever hear of Democrat who surrendered any
Of his back pay as Congressman - Peoria
Transcript
The Democratic editors being too
bashful to speak for themselves or
their party on this delicate subject,
we will answer the question for
them. All the Democrats in Con-
gress voted for the salary-grab, and
not one of them-not even Lyman
Trumbull, then Senator and now the
Democratic candidate for Governor
of Illinois--surrend ered the "swag'
not one. On the other hand, near.
ly all the Republicans in Congress
either voted against the grab, or re-
fused to accept the "baclS pay" Did
you ever hear of Democratic poll
tician who was proof against temp
tation, when an opportunity was
presented for featheling his own
nest --ChicdqO JO.Uuui.

have just cause for scratching his
name at the polls, or need fear his
triumphant election.
Col. John G. Clark, of Lancaster,
the other gentleman whom large
number of friends desire to have
honored with a seat ia Congress, is
perhaps personally known to more
of our readers than either Of the
others, and we believe would prove
the strongest candidate and the best
representative. lie has been resi-
dent of the District for quarter of
century or more, having come
here when a young man. Educated
as a civil engineer, his name appears
as one Of the government surveyors
who established the boundaries OF
many townships in the central part
of our State, Subsequently he turn
ed his attention to law, and soon
ATTAINED high rank in that profess
sion. Early in the late war he en-
listed in the 9th Wisconsin Infantry,
and therein displayed such ability
and valor as to be promoted Colonel
OF later regiment (the 50th we
Think Since 1873 he has devoted
his energies largely to securing the
construction of the morrow guage
railway through Grant county,
which is about to eliminate in an
extension thereof through the center
of Iowa county from West to East
and we hope a connecting link to
Mineral Point. Ia whatever posi-
ton placed, Col. Clark has been q
success; and throughout life Of IN
usual activity has maintained a rep
utation for honesty and purity OF
personal character that would have
been satisfactory in Caesars WIFE
Col. Clark appeared as a candidate
for Congressional honors once hith-
erto, lin 1919, when he was sup
ported by half of the delegation
from his own county--beipg Oppos-
ed there by Mr.. Hazelton and Mr..
Holloway who united forces against
him. At that time Iowa county
gave the Colonel her united support,
Should she do 50 again it will be to
her credit, and beyond doubt secure
his nomination. TO Colonel Clark
more than to any other man is due
the certain prospect that within a
year Iowa comfy will be traverseG
from East to West, from North to
South. from center to circumference,
by the ''iron horse" bearing to her
whole people the advantages which
have so long been enjoyed by but
few, aud needed by so many. 70
our knowledge, Colonel Clark was
the brain aud energy that inaugur-
ated and consummated the plans
that have developed iato the gIori-
Gus railroad enterprises which are
uow invigorating and reviving the
late drooping Interests Of Iowa
county. This fact in addition to the
conviction that lie would prove the
ablest, most faithful, and acceptable
representative make unnecessary
any further reason why we give him
preference for the nomination and
ought to insure him now, more than
ever before, especially favor among
our people,
