IT is said that l.. B. Eaton intends
contesting Hon. James Phelan's seat
in the next house. This possibly
accounts for the indignant attack the
Chicago Tribune made on our con.
gressional district last week, accusing
it of all kinds of election fraud, such
as ballot box stufing, intimidating
voters-in fact housekeeping that
was base except ''boodle' and voting
them in "blocks of five" until it gave
out. But the St. Louis Republic
came calamity to our defense and gave
the editor of the Tribune a few facts
that will startle him if he has any
regard for truthfulness.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Revere Notes.
The river is low and falling.

Farmers are making good use of
this fine weather and viii soon have
their crops safe.
Mr.. Allen, of the well known firm
of Haynes, Allen & Co., is up here
looking after the interest of his firm.
He says he was agreeably surprised to
find, as he did, as healthy, cookbook
ing and agreeable people here as any
where he had been. He had expected
to meet lot of swamp angels only
half civilized and partially eniight-
ened Well, now, be is not the first
one to discover that that that was all a
mistake.
Like other people We like a little
fun j: The other day what was sup
posed to be a wild goose was seen
standing on the sand-bar just in front
of Mr.. Slough's house, standing as
only goose can stand. Some young
men who were at work near by gould
not stand such impudence from a goose
so one Familiarity called Dock Brought
an old Winchester to bear upon his
gooseship, but failed to make an i'm
preston, so Jimmie opened on it with
the old double-barrel; but the brave
old goose would not go, so uncle John
ME put the dogs on it and brought it
in triumph to the house, when upon
examination it was shown that Jim
had hit it right where Dock missed it.
Then there came a dangerous light
into the boys eyes and they inquired
who the "Sam Hill" cut and put that
old plank up there. But the doctor
just smole smile and went off some
where; and the boys seem to think
strange that everybody is asking them
the price Of feathers.

THE Republican plurality in Kan

the banner Republican state. A corn
famine is reported up there. Half

The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1888-12-14

I HAVE long desired to have some
method of voting for president that
would enable the majority of the
people to elect the president. The
vote of the states need not he dis
turbed, but a law may be passed to
give this vote a different expression.
In the forty-fifth congress was one of
committee composed of Gen. Butler
and others that considered this ques-
ton. My proposition was not to give
the electoral vote Of a state to one set
of electors, but to give each their
proportion, according to the popular
vote in the State. For instance Ken
lucky has thirteen electoral votes.
The state votes Democratic. Give
the Democrats first the two electors at
large, and divide the vote among the
other electors, giving the Democrats
their share in proportion to the Demo
cratic popular vote and the Republi-
cans share in proportion to the
Republican popular vote. think
this could be readily done and the
people would elect president of their
choiee.-[Speaker Carlisle.
We believe like Speaker Cariise
that the people should be allowed to
elect a president of their choice, and
we further believe and have for a long
time that the electoral college is an
abonoinatiOn that will not be tolerated
by American citizens any longer than
the masses become acquainted with its
iniquGDus results in defeating the
very purpose for which the people
were given the ballot

JOIN P. ST. JOHN, the Prohibition
candidate for president in 1884, re-
ceived 1 151 votes in Tennessee. Gen.
Fisk this, year received 1858. St.
~JIee4h.sa4s total vote ia the United States
in 1884 was 15o,626, while Gen.
Fisk's total vote this year was $780,
535. This is an increase of more
than four hundred per cent in Tennes
see and of nearly one hundred pei
cent in the nation. If the vote of this
party continues to increase in the
above ratio (and there is but little
doubt that it wild it will be a very
important factor politically before
many years.

MORRIS, Ill.,, March 14.-S. N. Under
wood has been engaged in the mercan-
tile business here for number of years,
having formerly lived in Gardner, ILL.,,
where he was married to Miss Hunt.
Two daughters were born to them, and
about twelve years ago Mr.. Underwood
and his wife, finding that they could not
live together happily, concluded to sep
arate. Mrs. Underwood took her chill
dren and went to her former home in
Michigan, but soon placed her children
with friends and went away. The
father succeeded in finding the older
daughter and brought her to his home
in Morris. The other child it was i'm
possible for Mr.. Underwood to find. and
ever since he had been patiently
through detectives and other WayS-try
ing to ascertain where she was. Mir.
Underwood at length found clew that
led him to Waukesha and to the Harri-
son family, who formerly lived in Mich
igan and were well acquainted with his
wife. The strong family resemblance
which the child bore to both himself
and his mother was sufficient proof to
Underwood that he had found his lost
child. He then obtained the services of
others who communicated with the
daughter, Leila, and found that she, al
though happily situated in the family of
Mr.. Harrison, had strong desire to
find her father and sister, who she was
informed were still living. She had al
ways known that she was not child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison. She consented
a neighbours house in Waukesha and TO
return with him to Morris where she
now is, apparently happy.
A dispatch from Waukesha, Wis,
says MI. Harrison has started for I'LL
nois, and if he fails to recover the girl it
is claimed he will sue Underwood for
ten years board, that being the length
of the time she has been in his care.

The board of county commissioners
resumed their session at 10 a. M. yester-
day. George NJ. Seymour, commissioner
by appointment in place OF A. x. Doe,
resigned, appeared and took the oath OF
Office. The acting county attorney APP
peared before the board and advised it
that the franchise of the st. CrOiX Boom
corporation must be assessed at its prin-
cipal place of doing business, which is
in this city, The rafting works are
nearly all outside of the city, and upon
that ground they have heretofore
claimed that they should not be listed
here. 1t will now be likely to come be-
fore the courts.

for payment. Being informed that he

after returned, having forged the name
of Joseph Wolf to the paper. He was
promptly arrested on complaint of the
cashier and has been lodged in jail.

The evidence upon which Johnson was

STILL In JAIL.
Missouri Judges Continue to Lam
guish in Durance.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March IA
Judge Krekel in the United States
circuit court has denied the habeas
corpus petition of the judges of the st.
Clair county court, thus leaving them in
jail for the present. Suit was COM
menced in 1882 in the federal court to
collect bonded indebtedness Of $780,
600 from st. Clair county. The county
court refused to pay either principal OF
interest, claiming that the debt was
fraudulent, the bonds having been
given for aid in the construction of a
railroad in 1870, and which, as a matter
of fact, has never yet been constructed.
Judgment was rendered against the
county. After long legal contest the
county court still refuses to make a
levy, and the judges were held in con-
tempt and have since been confined in
jail. The petition for habeas corpus
averred that the order of the federal
court could not be complied with, mas
much as the state law prohibits such a
tax levy under heavy fine and forfeiture
of Office. Judge Krekel held that the
state has no power to control the juris-
diction of a federal court, and refused
an application for appeal. If the county
cOnrt judges comply with the order of
the federal court, they will be subject
to criminal prosecution in the state
court, and refusal to comply with the
mandate of the federal tribunal consti-
tuteS contempt.
