IL Is Up 90 the Voters.

On Tuesday next, for the first
time, the republican electors OF
Van Buren, county will exercise
their newly conferred legal right
of selecting by direct vote their
legislative and county officers.
Insofar as the offices of sheriff,
register of deeds, county treas
urer, circuit court commissioners
and coronerS are concerned, there
is no opposition, and it is just as
well known now whose names
will appear on the ticket for
those offices as it will be after
the primary election.
For the Offices of representa-
tive in the state legislature,
Judge of probate, county clerk,
prosecuting attorney, county
drain commissioner and county
surveyor, a vigorous preliminary
campaign has been, is still being
and will continue to be waged
until the polls are closed next
Tuesday evening. The outcome
of either of these contests is
matter Of great uncertainty
which only canvass Of the
votes can decide, but the True
Northerner has no hesitancy in
pledging its support to the win
ming candidates as, from its
knowledge of the contestants, 1T
is assured that whatever may be
the outcome, the Offices will be
filled with capable, honorable
men and the people well served.
This paper has espoused the
cause of no candidate to the eX-
clusion or detriment Of any of
his competitors, but all have
had an opportunity of having
their claims presented in it's col
umns. 1t is now the peoples
choice and there can be no doubt
but it will be wisely made.
1t goes without saying that
next Tuesdays nominees will be
triumphantly elected and that
the election on the third day Of
November next will be but rat
itication meeting insofar as local
matters are involved. Let there
be no sore spots, but let US roll
up the greatest republican ma
jority in the history Of the

 Two things are to be borne in mind In considering this matter. The pow CTS these corporations enjoy are a gift from the public. When they accepted the rights and franchises they made expressed or implied promises, or both, to give the people the best and the fairest service in their power. In most cases, believe, they are hon estly striving Ho to do, and fl 20 the, have nothing to fear from an official oversight properly exercises.
 But the people from whom their privileges came and who are depeni- ent upon them for service have right to know, not merely to surmise. that their obligations ara being faithfully kept, and to be in q position intelli- gently to deal with any derelictlou on their part; to register complains with some central authority that is I easily accessible and not bound by red tape, and to have Just grievances attended to without vexatious delay
