that wise body bill to settle tnis
vexed land question, and urge its pas

which he is paid, yet some want to
send some one there as a lobbyist do
his work for him and the county be at
an additional expense. We think it is
wrong and should not be done. What
the county wants now is to have some
of its old debts Pr id, and not incur any
other unnecessary expense.

The Cincinnati Sam makes this
contrast between the Democratic
and Republican candidate for Sec
rotary of State: John Mcbride is
a working man and represents the
cause of labor. He has handled
the pick as well as the gun. He has
won his way step by step, from the
ranks, until he now is in command.
James S. Robinson has been apol-
itician ever since he reached mans
estate. He held public office before
the war and has held it almost
continuously every since. Ifhe has
his own way he will probably go on
holding it for life. He represents
nothing save himself, and has new
er accomplished anything that
particularly commends him to pub
lie support. The people of the
State have to choose between these
two men, and ifthe more deserving
be elected, it will not be General
Robinson.

Pension Commissioner John C.
Black, has just issued a circular,
in which he says that applications
for pensions will not be allowed
nor heard on political grounds. In
brief, all soldiers stand on the same
ground, regardless of party afilia-
tons. Contrast this honorable
conduct of Gen. Black, with that
of Republican Pension Commiss-
Toner Dudley, making a tour
through the State in 1884, and at
tempting to bulldoze the Democrat
ic soldiers into voting the Republi-
can ticket, orelse losetheir pensions.
