But, we opposed the nomination of
Cleveland, the candidate; we shall faith>
fully and earnestly work for the election
OF Cleveland, the democratic standard
bearer. The democratic principle is the
democratic party; and this is infinitely
greater then the men it selects or rejects
1t involves much more than the personal
likes or dislikes of individuals. Not
interest of present men alone, but the
future of America liberty is bound up
with the preservation of the democratic
party. Those who wish to abide by its
principles must not follow wandering
fires To the dissatisfied ones we say,
as we have said to ourselves: Look
around, and see where you are going il
you leave the democratic fold Democrats
belong to a party of beliefs, duties, prin
ciples. Can they desert it for party
of offices, men and privileges? To Irish
Americans in particular we say: What is
the record of the republican party to you
forthe past twenty years. What American
citizen of Irish birth has it protected
abroad. What shameful outrages on
American citizenship has it not allowed
when England was the perpetrator and
citizen of Irish extraction the victims
Irish Americans would take an absurd
step in abandoning the democratic party
before they tried it, and just as it is
coming into power. Let them wait four
years and sec. Mr.. Blaine can afford to
wait, too

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

The democratic senatorial convention
of the twentyfirst district held in this city
Tuesday afternoon, was particularly
noted for its harmony of action, and tie
wisdom OF its deliberations 1t was all tie
more noticeable from the fact that recent
conventions in which the democrats of
Rock Island and Henry county have par
ticipated, discord and jealousy prevailed
to great extent, and as II consequence,
the democrats of the two counties went
into euch campaign divided among them
selves For once, however. the condition
of things have been changed and in place
of the wall of the disaifected, peace, and
all its attendants makes the prospects of
democratic success more tlattering. Our
political opponents have been gloating
over the prospect of a division in our
ranks, and especially did they think that
the convention of Tuesday would be the
signal for war. When, therefore, the
convention adjourned after a short, but
harmonious session, the look of disap>
pointment manifested by the republicans,
showed that their fondest hopes had been
blasted
The man chosen as the candidate for
representative is J. II. Paddleford, Esq,
of Hanna township, Henry county, a
gentleman who boasts of a residence of
Al years in his present place of abode.
Mr. F. B. Ward, of Orion, was also
named, but his name was withdrawn after
an informal ballot had been taken, and
Mr. PaddlefOrd's nomination was made
unanimous Rock Island county, having
conceded the right of selecting a candi~
date to her sister county, presented no
name to be balloted for. and eleven OF her
thirteen votes were cast for Mr. Paddle
ford, which virtually nominated him.
The gentleman nominated for repre-,
sentative needs no recommendation from
the ARGUS. He is so well known to every
voter that it would be waste of words
for us to say anything in his behalf. His
character as man and citizen is above
reproach and his name is the synonym of
honesty and integrity. He is native of
New Hampshire, and moved to Henry
county on the 9th day of November, 1887,
at the early age of ten years Although
living ina strong republican township, he
has held the Office of supervisor for ten
terms, being frequently reelected by in
creased majorities. and defeating some of
the best men in the town. If his imme-
diate neighbors regard man so highly
that has lived with them AZ years, it is q
sufficient guarantee to the voters of the
district, by electing him as representative
that they will be serving their own inter-
esls as well as honoring man of whom
they have just cause to be proud

Temperance Reunion in Highland.

eReported for the STANTON VINDIcAToR
The various lodges of Good Templars of
Highland county held large public meet
ing at the foot of Rich Hill, near Monte
rev, on Saturday. August Both. Some
Eve or six hundred citizens of the sur
sounding country were present, and the
proceedings passed off to the entire salts
faction of all participating. The follow
ing lodges were present in regalia. under
the marshalship of DIR. H. H. Jones, of
Doe Hill, viz: Monterey, Crab Bottom,
Green Hill, Mcdowell and Doe Hill. The
Monterey brass band was on hand and
discoursed good music, and the good
things of this life were amply provided,
and enjoyed by all present. John Gray,
Esq.,, of Charlottesville, was the invited
orator of the day, and spoke both morn
ing and afternoon, cutting loose from the
stale temperance platitudes, and holding
the undivided attention of his audience
throughout. Mr.. Gray also spoke the fol-
lowing evening at Mcdowell.
The Good Tempiars deserve much credit
for the manner in which the entire pro-
gramme was arranged and arried out, and
the satisfaction expressed by all who wers
present, evinces that the day was we'll and
probably spent.
