A foolish belief has taken possession Of
the minds Of some good ctiz MS that pub
lie offices were created for the convent.
eucc Of the people in the transaction Of
their public business; but this belief was
long aimee shown to be a falaoy. The Re.
publican party has demonstrated the fact
that public offices were established tor the
purpose of keeping the Republican party
IN power for tho purpose Of giving the Re-
publican bosses "inhuence" in the country.
The good natured Republican chunk of fat
now editing the Pulaski Patriot and lard.
ing the lean earth of that part of the state,
appreciates this tact Some time ago Sena.
tor Logan had Capt. Wilisturned out of the
office Of internal revenue collector because
that gentleman had lost his ability to con-
troll the Republican party Of Lower Egypt
in the senator's interest Ia his place the
senator, by aud with the advice of Gov.
Culom, had Gen. Povey, one of Gov. Gull
Ions militia heroes, appointed over the
heads of deserving men, And now comes

chunk-ofth the Pulaski Patriot, saying
"Gen. Pavey will take charge of the col.
lectors office ON tho first of September. The

The Sells Brothers, who have had the good
fortune to be the first on the Lake Front
this season, are to be congratulated in pre-
senting show that corresponds with the
announcements. They don't beguile the
people with pretentous advertisements OF
wonders that have never materialllzed, and
they really produce what they claim. This
is almost too much to say of a circus, and
it will hardly be credited, but a candid
examination of this menagerie and ring
brings the truth loving reporter to the con
fession that sobrety of statements mighty,
and is prevailing over all Of Barnums
adjectves. --CHIcAGo EVENING JOURNAL,
May 18th, 1881.
For many excellent reasons, conspicuous
ly furnished by ITSELF, we are pleased to
announce the speedy coming of Sells
Brothers Six Enormous Railroad Shows,
now united. Every possible assurance
is given that it is, what its title suggests,
the grandest and weathiest amusement
organization on earth, canopying ali Won
derland with it's half million yards Of cleo
tric-lighted canvas. But even more con-
elusive evidence than the weighty indorse-
ment Of the Press and the potent voice Of
public approval is the straightforward and
unprecedented action Of the Messrs. Sells
themselves in vigorously demanding the
strict enforcement of the law against all
exhibitions guilty Of obtaining money un.
der false pretenses, and of grossly swim
ding their patrons by loudly advertising
attractions they do not possess; in strenu-
ousy insisting that passable performance
in some respects does not excuse wholesale
misrepresentation in other things; and f.
nally in frankly and boldly urging the Press
to speak OF their show just as it is.
Clearly no impos'or, no fraudulent ad.
vertser, no ordinary exhibition would dare
so thus plainly and publicly arouse such
powerful agencies to crush it. Genuine su.
periolity, true greatness and invincipe in
tegrity cau alone court such an ordeal, and
as the Messrs. Sells are the only ones to
do It, the conclusion ia irresistible that
theirs is indeed the very First and and Fl.
nest of Shows, and that in the words of the

X. A. ID. Wilbanks was the nominee of the
Democratic convention of this, the Fourth,
judicial district, held in this city to-day.
He was nominated on the thirty second
ballot, without any manifestation of
of illfeeling whatever from any part
of the house.
Had tull delegation from every one OF
the thrty-fou counties in the district been
present there would have been
1853 delegates; but there were
over $50 delegates present and tn
remainder were represented by proxies,
The convention was called to order in the
morning by member of the state central
committee, and an organization was ef-
tected and committee appointed, and then
the convention adjourned until after din
nef.
The reports'of committees wrere first in or
der at the afternoon session, which being all
disposed of, the presentation of candidates
was in order Over a dozen candidates -
all good men-were presented by the
chairmen Of as many different delegations,
and the claims of each received calm con.
sderation But Mr.. II. A. d. Wilbanks
went into the convention by far the strong
est man aud he maintained tue upper hand
throughout the several hours consumed
in taking the thirty-two ballots. There
was considerable enthusiasm at times, and
through it all the best OF humor prevailed E.
Mr. Wilbanks is to be congratulated.
His election is a foregone conclusion as
the district is Democratic by plurality of
nearly five thousand. The Democracy is
also to be congratulated because it secured
50 able and so energetic a'gentleman for its
standard bearer in the district. Mr.. Viii
banks is ore of the smartest, most energetic
and genial, and therefore successful, poll
ticians there is, and AS his own election is
assured almost without any effort on his
part, he will devote himself more especial
ly to advancing the cause of Democracy in
those parts Of the district where the party
is weak We repeat, there is cause for mu
tual congratulation,
