A Vexed Clergyma

Fowler Era: “It has been the .cust6m ■* * that the candidacy be by rotation and in the coining nominations this custom • * * will he insisted upon. The counties of Jasper and Newton have each had a Senator and White has had two since the honor has fell to Bent n.” The Era draws fallacious conclusions from false premises. Has not Senator George Majors “lifted his voice” to bring ransom to our prairie sister for the last four yearn? He has for more than tin .years been a citizen of Benton bounty. When was Newton ever .represented in the State Senate? I pray you tell. If the law of rotation has been established in this district, how and when did such a custom arise? The district was created in 1879, and neither a nomination nor election has taken place since. A custom to be o? any force ought to be so old that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. Will the Era explain its idea of custom? It ieems to the writer that the Republicans of this new d strict ought to look the field all over from Lake to Bollver precincts, and from Hickory Grove to Kankakee, and •elect the fittest man far Senator.

No county has any local monopoly with power to dickite a candidate. Xs not such an assumption the -Democratic doctrine a State sovereignity applied to counties and run to seed? la your neighbor any less able, honest or faithful because his habitation may be across a county line from where you live? Such proclaimed proscription ■spoken on behalf of a county having hitherto continuously, during the life of the district, enjoyed the honor now sought, seems to m« “utterly 100 too.” Let us be charitable and act as. brethren in the Senatorial district ai.dhegard no other territorial interdictions upon cur freedom of choice. This is llepublicaa doctrine. Hi a enough th d our candidate resides in the district. Libektt. o

Trial Bottles given away at lme> A Meyer’s Drug Store. Highland Chief, better known as Andy, is too well and favorably known to render comment necessary. He was formerly owned by Dr. Button of this place, who pur chased him in Kentucky, and afterward sold him to Jesse J. Bright of West Virginia, and now owned by me. He will be kept for service, the present season, at the Remington fair ground. His colts are here to show for themselves, in form and action, three of them being in training on the track here. I have one coming five years old, that has trotted in 2:35, as a four year old, and is very promising. Others are very fast. I challenge any topointout one of his get from any kind of a mare that is not an extra good roadster, which is a challenge that can be successfully made to no other horse in the State. Remington,
