THE FUTURE OF THE ILLINOIS CENT
RAJ RAILWAY.

The Dubuque Telegraph, in the rail-
road news in it's issue of April ED says:
by a gentleman who is the next
friend of a man in the confidence of
the Illinois Central, the Telegraph is in
formed that the Central is at Stickney's
back, and that it will build line from
Chicago to Dakota, which will embrace
the D. & N. w. and the line to Chicago
now being surveyed by Mr.. Stickney.
The gentleman also says that the Central
anticipates receiving concessions which
will enable it to renew advantageouslY
its lease of its Iowa division, and that it
will, after the building Of Its Dakota
line continue to operate its present line
from Sioux City to Freeport, running
thence to Chicago over the line now being
surveyed by Mr.. Stickney. The new
line from Freepsrt to Dubuque will be
made shorter than the Central's present
one and will give the best line between
Dubuque and Chicago"

THE AUsTIN TRANscRIr wants g
know i Mr.. Lovely didn't bolt Dunnell.
il puts the question II the sssccusative
case, " Intended evidently. to convey the
idea that Mr.. Lovely had committed
some political crime by 50 doing. The
bolt in 80 can hardly be made matter Of
accusation against any better when we
remember with what unanimity the
party joined in it two years later. The
fact il creditable rather than otherwise
to Mr.. L. BY the way, didn't the TRAN
SCRIPT bolt the Window caucus?-Cale-
donia argus.
We like you. Bro. Smalley, and always
did. We think you have principles; you
have opinions-you are. Independent in
the expression of them. You can argue
case gentlemanly, and without letting
your *'angry passions rise" Now, to
answer you: We dislike politics. There
is great deal of deceit, double dealing
and fraud IN politics. The caucus and
convention, however, seem to be neces-
sary evils. Any man who. asks a nomi-
nation from his party should show reas-
enable record for standing by the nomi-
nations of that party if he expects the
party to stand by his nomination. We
do not advocate standing by nomination
at all hazards. good or bad. A man has
the right to bolt a bad nomination.
Lovely, who is politician. pure and sim
pie, not mugwump, or high-toned IN
dependent like yourself, had no right to
bolt NJ. H. Dunnell and support w. G..
Ward, the corpus whiskey sucker.
He had no night to bolt Hon.
John @. Farmer for Judge, and rush to
the support of the turbulent. vindictive
Sherman Page. Farmer was fairly nomi
mated by Lovely's political party. BE
was an honest, competent man, and was
entitled to the support of every Republi
can, as well as every Republican politi
clan. Now as politics are run, how car
Lovely expect the united support of Re
publicans for an office which he must OBJ
tain through the machinery of like con
ventions that nominated Dunnell az
Farmer. The purpose of these conven
tons is to bind the party to the nomine'
who shall receive the majority Of votes
The majority rules in conventions, ant
unless the nominee is bad, the m1norit,
ought to support the majority, or keel
away from the convention. Lovely ough
not to ask what he will not give. AS t.
the TRANSCRIPT, it has very coed recor,
on supporting party nominees-perhap
better than it will have in the future
as it is independently inclined, and Their
is no saying when it will kick. That
not to the point, however. as we are no
asking for an Office, at the hands of til
Republican or any other party.
