4 WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

The Ottawa democrats have this week
made the first beginning of the activity
politically which will characterize the
summer and fall of 1888, by taking steps
toward calling a general meeting to or
ganized locally for the approaching cam
paign,
The county central committee has also
had some meetings and sent to town com.
mittees some requests for preliminary
work, Some of these towns responded
promptly; some are vet to be heard from
all should have responded long ago.
Democrats should always bear in mind
that La Sale county is democratic-if
democrats will have II 50. But the margin
Of vantage is not great. IL needs thorough
Organization to bring victory at election
day. This Organization must begin at
Cnce, The convention to send delegates

paign there begins in earnest The town
ship organizations should be completed
before thar convention is held, so that the
work following ST. Louis may begin as
soon as the nomination is there made
VIII the town committees follow the
example OF Ottawa and take steps to
wake up the local committees where they
already exist; or see that new ones are
elected where for any reason no organiza
ton is existicn,
This matter is important. II should be
attended 10 at once. viii II be done?

WILL THE BOARD DO TT

The Circuit court having disposed Oh tAt
criminal charge made against William X
Milligan, there yet remains settling VI
with that gentleman as sheriff. The out
come OF that case was lust what most rea-
soma BILE men who had no old scores TO settle
or axes 30 grind, had anticipated. Common
sense sught 20 have told men that mar
cannot lie accused, even by implication, OF
the crime of Withholding money when the
creditor refuses 70 settle with his debtor
Milligan has been ready 70 sett!e--ha'
asked 70. II repeatedly, yet, incredible a:
il may seem, the Board has permitted itself
to be led around by the nose by Doc Nor
ton and made TO serve as his tool while he
wreaked his vengeance on Milligan by re-
fusing 10 make settlement as required by
law! /. is astounding that body OF men
of the general intelligence and sense of the
county board of supervisors should have
permitted themselves to be placed In this
absurd and equivocal position. The amaz
ing shallowness and insincerity of this
man Norton is only equalled by HE audaci.
,y; yet II is strange that The Board could,
or would, not see what was as clear as a
MONDAY sun TO every one else'
But a settlement with Milligan has got
to come. Itmust be had. The people of
the county are tired to death with the
scandal and expense attending the develop.
ment of Doc Norton's spleen, and it is time
to give him and them rest and for the
Board TO return to the exercise of common
sense and business principles Now that
the Doodle business has gone the way of
all other exhibitions of damphoolism
which occasionally break out In commu-
nifty now that all men have seen Its outra-
ges, and that 1t has run its ignominious
race. the Board should at once finish up
the business at the place where II should
have finished it long ago, by making q
settlement with Milligan.
But Doc Norton as chairman of the COM
llltte W octlc Will luc ouciiu CdHuot Dol
tie with Milligan. 1t is absurd to think
they ever could agree; and the proper way
to 60 at the business would be for the
Board to appoint committee for that pur-
pose of fair.minded men who have no axes
to grind, no broken promises to revenge, no
savory regulations as "thief catchers' to
make, but who have an honest desire that
the county should have its own and Milligan
have his own. The people of the county
have right TO this kind af settlement.
They demand II. Milligan has been black.
guarded enough now to satisfy the most
exacting. Now let La Sale county redeem
her reputation and settle with the man
honestly, and compel him to settle honestly
with her; when that is done Milligan may
Dot be in the penitentiary, and Doc Norton
may have to earn living in another way
than by drawing never ending $2sO1a
day from the county treasury; but the
county will be better off and certainly will
have more wholesome atmosphere than
II has had since Earl inflicted Doc Norton
on long suffering community.
