CHAuNcEY NJ. DEPEw said a good and true
thing in Chicago when he said: Infinitely
worse than any political disease in tSis coun-
try are your Chicago wheat corners. The
various corners in breadstuffs which have
been run in Chicago have done more injury
to the American farmer than the trusts and
monopolies which are so roundly and some
times justly berated." Nothing on earth is
so unmitigatedlY evil as the colossal gambling
on the Chicago Board of Trade. Monaco is
innocuous compared with it.

THE Democratic managers say they are san
guine of the result of the election because
they have so many good schemes at work.
Their principal scheme is one of lies and per-
jury. fraud and corruption. It is q double
barreled scheme. with liars like Gould to fur.
nish ammunition for one barrel, and election
criminals, both home and imported, to stock
the other. This is the Democratic scheme
in its length, breadth and thickness.

''that which is believed to have been the most
prolific source of sectional strife and aliena-
ton, the question of tariff, or duties upon i'm
ports"
These extracts from Jef's book show that
he is as bitterly opposed to a protective tariff
now as he ever was in 1860, and that be classes
it among the causes which justified secession
and war. He opposed it especially because it
strengthened the North and did nothing for
the two great Southern industries, cotton
culture and slave.breeding. To conserve
these and escape protection. he and his col
leagues tried to form a separate government.
Now. ex-Confederate Mills and the other
Southern brigadiers and rebel sympathizers
are trying to embody his anti-protection ideas
in national legislation, and jeff kindly init
mates to the Southern Bourbons how they
ought to vote.

recently wrote the local secretary that the

last year they had about thirty delegates
at Quincy, it is TO be expected they will
do as we'll this year. A letter has been

nounced the disease small pox. This
morning DIR. s. G, Plummer returned,
and upon making examination, confirmed
his sons theory. The disease is in
mild form, and the house has been
ouarantined and no one will be allowed
to leave or enter it without sufficient ex-
cuse. In this manner the spread OF the
spestiferous infection may be prevented.
Fluegel says he don't know where he

he recently returned from the west, where
he was exposed to it. None too great
precautions can be taken with the case to
prevent its spread.

A BIG BLAZE.
A S25. 900 Fire at Orion This Morn
ing.
The Largest Block in the City In
Ashes and Many Important Business
Institutions Homeless---The Suffer-
ers.

Orion is scene Of devastation this
morning. The little city just over the
Henry county border was visited by
most destructive fire last night and as a
result the largest and most important
business block in the town is in ashes.
1t was about 3 o'clock this morning that
the fire was discovered. Robert Fullerton,
prescription clerk in Thomas drug store,
this city, who was spending the night
with friends in his old home there, being
one of the first on the ground. The
flames were then issuing from the rear OF
the lower portion of the building which
was used as a furniture shop. A bucket
brigade was promptly organized. but all
efforts to save the building were unavail
ing, and energies were then exerted to
save the residence of Mr.. Levy Higgins,
near by. and the brigade was successful
in this.
The building, as stated. was the most i'm.
portant business block in the town, being
known as Champions block. 1t was COM
posed of four brick buildings, two two-
stories in height and two one story. The
two story buildings were occupied on tho
first floor by the grocery and dry good:
stores of F. A. CrsmI ton, while the secs
ond story was used as Champions hall
and the headquarters of the Orion Times
W. A. Bales. proprietor. The one story
building was Chas. Palmgreen's furni'
ture store.
The buildings were all owned by Mr.
F. A. Champion, and the total loss t.
himself and tenants will be not less thar
$25 900, on which there is very little in
surance. The loss is severe one, no
only to the individual owners and occu
pants of the DESTROYED building, but Il

CANDLES INCOMPETENCE.

Something of the Official InefIiciency
OF the Republican Nominee for
Circuit Cierk---HOw His Records
Were Kept.
A very well known real estate agent
who materially has more to do with one
branch of the duties of the circuit clerk
and recorder than any one else, furnishes
some interesting facts from his obserya-
lions in connection with his dealings with
this important office. When Gamble re-
tired from the office of deputy in the cir
cult clerks office after be had politically
stabbed his superior officer, friend and
benefactor in the back, the real estate
agent says, he was three hundred instru-
ments of various kinds back, that is he
had that many back that had been filed
for record that had not been recorded.
This accumulated and constantly grow
the hands of Mr. Bowman's son
when he succeeded Gamble as his fathers
deputy, June 1, and the young man was
just SIX weeks in catching up in the
records and properly recording what Gam.
BILE had accumulated through Incidence
and incompe tency and since that time he
has kept up with the daily routine just as
his father and every other deputy did
prior to the time of CANDLES appoint
ment By way of Illustration of the in
convenience it puts the public to. to have
a man of CANDLES inefficiency in such an
important Office. the real estate dealer
said that it had often been the case that
when chattel mortgages had been left
with Gamble for record, it became neces
ssry six months after to get copies when
the time came for foreclosure, the instru-
ment not having been up to that time re-
corded
The deputy circuit clerk is practically
recorder. To attend to the duties of re-
corder is really all he has to do, and if he
cannot 60 any better than Gamble has,
what would he do with increased respon
sibilties such as the office OF circuit clerk
| would involve? The voters of the county
| will take these facts into consideration,
and instead of charging man of Gam
bles incompetency with greater and more
important duties, will place the office in
the hands of man like Fl. E. Casteel,
who has in every instance offered dem
enstrated his ability and industry,
