Tlad John Sherman only known that “ iigh” Jenks designed to claim authorship of the Sherman letter, he wo’d li ive sworn out * f It when the copy was before him. But then John <1 in n’t -nor does Mr?. Jenks—know what is yet to trip up this little scheme.

Our townsman, M. F. Chiloote, Esq. yesterday received tho radical nomination for representative to tho state legislature. 1 rank is a capable and clover gentleman, but he is in training with a party holding financial and oilr or theories at variance with the intere3tsof tho masses. It isiherefoiea necossity that ho be defeated at the polls.

—H. E. James, ♦of the Rensselaer Union, was in town Sunday, sowing a eiop of cards, which were mostly gathered up by the small boys before night.—Remington Times. Our consul is a statesman of ecceniti io business habits* His actions, as recorded above,-would seem to indicate that lie designs to let the appointment to Turk Island go to—Stanley Matthews’ friend. Anderson. Radical arguments last Saturday: To Nationals -“Don’t you see the Democrats aim to have you for tiled 'cat’s-paw!’ ” To Democrats “The Nationals uro determined to gobble you up!“ Democrats and Nationals regarded them as fools for their pains, transact' «d business to suit themsolves, and now there is weeping and wailing aaiong the “bloody shirt” operativesI’Our years ago Mr. Janies A. Burn ham was Chairman of jthe Jasper county Badieal Central Committee - to day he is an active, workiug Nation ah To-day Horace E. James is Chairman of the Radical Central Committee and appointee of the Fraud to Turk Island —four years ago Uo was acting with those he now denounces as communists, and aspirant for ths clerk ship at tlieir hands. The consul this week blows hot and iold with the aptitude of an expert.\l.o’s mad at the Democrats, mad at f.he Nationals, mad at the Democrats and Nationals, mad at carpet buggers, mad at his Turk Island follow citizens* •■•is., etc. Their protestations and proKnises, last Saturday, availed them nothing, and now Horace is lustily nawling out “Sour Grapes.” Horace, you can go to—Turk Island. Defeat awaits you here. Certain, sure d - feat! Mark that. Lieut. James Fluukett.of Carpenter township, was in attendance upon and addressed the Democratic convention, last Saturday. He is ablo and elo

quant, ready for the battle, and we trust to hear from him often. Ho and t'ight brothers served faithfully in th«* Union army—some fell in battle.— 'the Lieut, prides himself, and justly, i-00, with always having belonged to the great National Democratic party and to-day stands opposed to the radical bloody shirt sectional party ncr.h as firmly as he opposed a aectionu; siuth during the war.
