electing governor and two members of
congress. But as usual in such move
ments the victory was dearly bought. Its
results was that the democratic party in
state became deinoralized and itsranks
were depleted. The men whom the demo
Gratis elected to congress joined the repub-
hcans in every measure in which the party
lines were drawn, land made themselves
prominent in the conspiracy to unseat dem
oeratic members of the house. But not
withstanding all that, the same combina-
ton was entered into again by the short
sighted leaders of the democrats, and the
rest of the country is treated to the specta-
Gle of the election of the entire state and
congressional republican ticket.
For our part we are glad that the fusion
movement is defeated. 1t ought to have
been It is mouse to disguise the fact that
intelligent voters viii not support green
back doctrines and ideas on questions of
finance, and it is time that the democratic
party leaders understand that the voters
win not support fusion movements for any
length of time. 1t may succeed once, but
the result is as inevitable as that day fol-
lows night that the party will be punished
for it. No party can afford to abandon
principle for the sake of securing the Off
ces. The moment this is done all organic
ton is lost and the members of the party
are released from all obligations and in
centives.
The result in Maine is lesson for the
party in this district. If the democratic
convention dominates man who has &C
cepted the greenback nomination on
greenback platform it win not represent
the wishes of the masses of the party, and
the consequence will be that we shall be
punished. Democrats who have for years
voted against overwhelming odds viii not
at this late day abandon principle and vote
as the greenbackers dictate.

foRceNaREssMAN.

The nomination of Mr.. Neece by the
Democratic convention at Monmouth, was
seemingly q .snFprise to some, but should
not have been ktosany. Rock Island, as a
new member of the district is not, and can.
not be supposed to be fully acquainted
with the leading democrats from the 9th
er end, but still Mr.. Neeces name is not
an unfamiliar one with us. He is gen
tleman of pure and spotless private char
acter. large acquaintance and of known and
decided ability. His record, so far as public
life is concerned, has been a clean and
even brilliant one. He is a lawyer by pro-
fession, a farmer by practice and has
the unlimited support of the people of his
district. He is personally very popular at
home and wherever known and but needs
an acquaintance in this county-which he
will soon seeuFe-to render our people as
endsof thesiistrict is Hehas served with
credit in the state senate and
acquired there the knowledge that
would fit him to occupy a seat in congress.
When the question of choice for con
gress first arose the nomination was ten
dereds unanimously to MIR. Cable. He,
through reasons rendered imperitive by the
demands of his own health, was obliged to
declines and at the eleventh. hour Rock Is
land put in nomination the name of Mr.,
FL. c. Connolly, whom all recognized as q
most fit man for the position. The NOM
nation of Mr.. Connolly could
doubtless . have been secured had
there been that opportunity of g suitably
placing his name before the convention,
which is always necessary, even for SO
good a man. This. combination oflcircum-
stances alone took from Rock Island the
candidate for congress, and Rock Island
will be the most enthusiastic to support
the man who was chosen.
The cenpeasieh throughout was remark
able for the absence of all personal Or
sectional feeling and firm in its
determination to choose only the
man who would best represent
those democratic principles which we all
cherish as necessary tothe stability of a
free government.
1t only remains for the democrats of
Rock Island county to unite with the re-
mainder of theydistrict, and those other
voters who believe in free people and
pure politics, tossend TO congress a man
,whoiwill represent the greatest good for
the greatest number, honest government
and the victory of popular rights. If we

MALONE AND THE NEGROES.
fPhiladelphia Times. 1

The Virginia freebooter is evidently
worried. His fears that some of his col
ored allies will slip away from him is not
without cause. Dawson, the straight-out
republican candidate for congressman at
large, who is himself colored man, is de-
veloping considerable strength. and few
thousand votes polled for him would put
Massey's victory over Mahone's man, Wise,
beyond doubt. Malone sees his danger.
and, as usual, is working the colored
voters through their preachers. The
preachers are warning their fioeks not to
support Dawson and to stick to Malone.
1t is by such methods as these that the
Virginia freebooter has risen into power
but man who will appoint superinten-
dent of schools who cannot write dozen
consecutive words correctly will do almost
anything.

Little Nattan's journey.

The other night (say s the philadelphia
Times), when the day express from the
| west arrived in the Broad Sire ct station.
there waz one boy passenger among the
throng less than four years old. when
the little fellow was taken into the sta
ton masters Office tears We're trickling
down his checks, and successive sobs
made his words lnintelligible, but the
conductor on the train and tag on the
boys back, made of card board, sewed
strongly to his coat told his story. Ia
a feminine hand was written:
"1his is the only son OF widow,
whose circumstances compel her to part
with him. His name is Nathan, and he
is on bis way to his grandfather, Jacob
Shem, Chester, Delaware County, Penn
sylvan1a.
The Juvenile traveller started from ILL
nois, three days ago, and his little grip
sack Of lunch and diminrtive bundle
of clothing completed his outfit. He
had barely touched the lunch so dased
and hewildered was he with the excite
ment attending his journey.
He cried nearly all the time, asking
for his mother and wondering why she
couldn't come to him. Many of the
through passengers tried to comfort him,
but to no purpose, his single absorbing
thought being Of his mother in the west.
At the Bread Street station a group Of
conductors surrounded the weary little
fellow and tried to amuse him, but their
uniforms and strange faces only fright
ened him and made him cry the more.
About half past eight his grandfather,
who had come from Chester to meet
him, entered the station-master's office
and telling the little fellow who he was
took him IN his arms and showcred kisses
on him. When the boy was satisfied
that Mr.. Shem was his grandfather, in
deed, he sobbed himself to sleep in q
few minutes in the old mans arms.
