A FEW WORDS.

A number Of the candidates for place on
the democratic ticke, In this county are In
dulgins In a great deal Of very foolish talk
abou, themselves and about those who are
either candidates against them or are sup
porting the candidacy of some one else.
These gentlemen fail 10 realize that they
are placing themselves In very bad light
before the democracy of the county and at
the same time giving aid and comfort TO
the enemy. Above all others a candidate
should be the most careful about making
derogatOry remarks about fellow candi.
date. When he does so he not only arouses
the suspicion that he is not honest in his
statements but that his methods In politics
are not of the best.
It has come to be political maxim tnat
all things are as fair in politics as they are
in love and war, and following in the wake
of this a great many political acts are per
formed that had best be left undone. No
objection can be made 10 candidates US
ing every fair and honorable means to Sc
cure to himself the place desired; but he
has no right TO attempt to gain prominence
10y deliberately dragging down the personal
and political character of his rival. Candi-
dates should remember that the necessity
of being gentlemanly in their conduct is
quite rs essential in the business Of office
seeking as in any other avccatlon, and that
the same rules that guide them as gentle
men in their every day life should control
them in seeking political honors.
We have before stated the necessity of
care on the part of candidates and their
friends in making ante convention state
ments, and we feel that it is but due the
democracy of the county 10 insist that the
candidates use as great judgment rs they
do zeal in making their canvass. They
must not grasp at every straw and believe
everything that is retailed on the street by
every Tom, Dick and Harry. If they do
they will make themselves great deal of
unnecessary trouble, aid in the end be
placed In q very embarrassing and ridicu-
lous position. Let them all work hard to
win, If they So desire; but let them con.
stantly keep In mind that their personal ad-
vantage cannot and will not be advanced if
It conflicts with the general good of the
party.

THE ANARCHISTS,

After more than fifty days Of continuous
work in Judge Gary's court, in Chicago,
the trial Of the llaym arket rioters and muir
derers, Spies, Parsons, Fiel len, Lingg,
Fischer, Engle, Schwab and Neebe, has
been brought TO a close, and the jury re
turned into court yesterday morning with
verdict of guilty of murder as to all.
The penalty fixed is hanging as to the first
seven, and sixteen years in the penitentiary
for Neebe.
There is not a good citizen in the state
of Illinois, or within the bounds of the
Union, who will not applaud the verdict of
the twelve men, who, after listening with
patience to the testimony presented before
them, have said it convinced them beyond
a reasonable doubt that the men on trial
were murderers, and ought to suffer the
extreme penalty of the law for their
crimes
Those who have been convicted and
whose lives should be forfeited are emit
tied to nothing of sympathy. With calm
deliberation they set about to destroy the
lives and property OF their fellows, and to
put at defiance the law OF the land. The
law which they were anxious To disregard
and 'rample upon, has turned upon them,
and they now must suffer. 1t has been
indicated and its majesty asserted.
Hereafter 1t may we'll be doubted wheth
er anarchy, socialism and communism will
ever again go to the extremes in this coun.
try that they have in the past. The lawless
may desire to kill and destroy, but the
fearful example of Chicigo's anarchists
will deter them from riot, incendiarism
and bloodshed. In its effects for good TO
the country the result of the trial just
brought TO close will be of inestimable
benefit.

SLUSH.

Within the past few days there has been
a revival among some elements of the Gem.
ocratic party what might properly be
termed ring talk. tits claimed that there
is ring that is trying 10 manipulate the
politics of the county in such way as to
secure the nomination of this man or tina,
10 the exclusion of some one else. Some
time since We adverted To ring" talk, and
our suggestion then was that the gentlemen
who were INDUCING IN it had better "ring
of. That suggestion is quite as much in
point now as II was then, and we commend
ii 10 the consideration of those who are In.
dulging in IT,
If such talk tetokens anything, it betok
ems weakness of the candidate, and those
who are making use of II need not be sur
prised If they present very poor showing
in the convention. People who think at all
upon political workings know that csndi-
dates who harp continually on rings" and
rings" and rings" do II simply to draw to
themselves sympathy that would not be
theirs II they pursued different course.

Mr.. BARTELS.

The editor Of the FREE TRADER regrets
beyond measure that the honesty or eitici
ency Of q dem ocratiC official should be
called into question in La Sale county; bu,
largely through his own carelessness Mr.
Arthur T. Bartels present incumbent OF
the Office Of probate clerk, has placed Kim.
self in the unenviable light of having been
derelict In the discharge Of his official du.
ties. Mr. Bartels has been extremely care
less In the manner of keeping his book OF
receipts and of expenditures, and in cense-
quence has laid himself liable TO very just
newspaper criticism and forfeited the en-.
dorsement Of his political party at the com
ing county convention.
When the Board OF Supervisors was in
session In July last, the committee 70 settle
with county officers could not settle with
Mr.. Bartels because Of seeming irregulari
ties In his accounts. For this reason his
report was put over, and Mr.. w. J. Dryer
assistant supervisor from Ottawa, set about
investigating the books of the office. The
result Of the investigation is that Mr. Bar
tells was found indebted TO the county in
the sum of $797 sum he Immediately
paid into the county treasury. 1t is but
just to him to say that during the whole Of
the investigation he gave Mr.. Dwyer every
aid possible, and at once paid over the
amount found to be due and that, too, with.
out calling upon his bondsmsn.
Mr.. Dryer, In card TO the Ottawa Times,
lays the cause of the deficiency discovered
70 Mr.. Bartels's extreme carelessness. He
says: ~ feel safe in saying that this
shortage Is due entirely 10 negligence,
rather than from any desire to defraud the
county" Taking the same view we can
not but express the regret that public ser
want should be SO careless. BY the whole
transaction the county has lost nothing.
There has been no defalcaton-there has
simply been such extreme negligence on
the part of the probate clerk as to make
him amenable at the bar Of public censure.

yentOn 10 the democratic voters Of the dis
trio, as a democratic candidate. The rea
son for this Is to be found in the fact that
Nj Locey is not democrat--a reason
quite sufficient 10 cause those who are
democrats to withhold from him their
votes If Mr., Locey is presented by such
convention 1t will be tacit admission that
within the district no democrat can be
found who is proper person to represent
the people at Washington-an admission
we are not prepared to make.
There is nothing that would afford us so
much pleasure as to support with the utmost
of our energy and ability, for congressional
honors, man of worth, who, thoroughly
grounded in democratic principles, would
creditably represent the people Of the dis.
trict In the lower house of congress. We
should give such man S cause great deal
of time and great deal of space but we
know of no reason why we should aid in
the election of any one who openly says,
II sm not democrat" and we are conf
dent that there Is no party force strong
enough TO compel us to give In our allie.
glance to him.
We adhere to democratic principles be-
cause of thorough conviction that they
are founded upon right, and that the incor-
poration of them in the conduct Of the gov.
eminent is best for the people; and we but
assert our right when We ask Of the party
that men be named for Office who are true
opponents of those principles. We believe
thoroughly In party discipline, when that
party discipline is exercised 10 promote
party iples-otherwis not.

MR.. LOCEY'S CANDIDACY

1t has been intimated by number of
papers and by some members of the dem.
ocratic party of this county that George III
Locey, of La Sale, ought to be endorsed
by democrats as their candidate for con.
gress in this district MIR. Loeey denies
that he is candidate for the position in
question, but yet goes out of his way TO In.
dict an effort of three and one half columns
in length addressed ITO the voters of the
Eighth District" setting forth his views
upon a vast variety of pubhc questions, and
stating what ought and what ought not TO
be done TO bring about their solution.
II is just as well for democrats to take a
position upon the candidacy of Mr. Locey
n once, so that those who are urging His
endorsement may know how his nomina.
ton would he received. Mr.. Locey ought
not to be presented by democratic con.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1886-08-21

Sentiment and sentlmen,aiism are very
good things in their place, but their place
is not in practical politics. Candidate
who prefer following this mode Of cleo
tioneering must not be either surprised OF
disappointed If the democrats who have
labored for democratic success without ask
Ing or wanting Office look upon their candi-
dacy with little Of favor There Is little
reason why candidate should avail him
self of the privilege of abusing party work
ers, who work without recompense and
without wish or hope Of reward, and then
expect such men TO turn and kiss the hand
that smites them.
II is more than probable that the men
who are saying 30 much about "ringsters"
now will earnestly desire the aid-should
they be nominated-of the very men they
so vehemently denounce to assist in secur-
ing their election, and 70 insure II they had
better be more discreet In their remarks
Let them do more real work and less slushy
talking, and they will come nearer to secur-
ing nomination. No man can succeed
who constantly poses for sympathetic ad-
miration. What he must have 70 win is
his fellowmens respect, not their tears.
