Temperance
Is not signing "a pledge
or taking a solemn oath that
cannot be kept, because of
the non-removal of the cause
liquor. Thewaytomake
a man temperate is to kill
the desire for those dreadful
artificial stimulants that car
ry so many bright intellects
to premature graves, and
desolation, strife and un
happiness into so many
families.,
'Itisafactl Brown'sIros
Bitters, a true non-alcoholic
tonic, made in Baltimore,
Md.,by the Brown Chemical
Company, who are old drug
rists and in every particu
lar reliable, will, by remov
ing the craving appetite of
the drunkard, and by curing
the nervousness, weakness,
. and general ill health result
ing from intemperance, da
more to promote temperance,
in the strictest sense than
any other means now known.
It is a well authenticated
fact that many medicines,
especially ' bitters,' are noth
ing but cheap whiskey vilely
concocted for use in local
option countries. Such is
not the case with Brown's
Iron Bitters. It is a medi
cine, a cure for weakness
and decay in the nervous,
muscular, and digestive or
gans of the body, produc
ing good, rich blood, health
and strength. Try one bot

While there is not a candidate upmi tho
Democratic County Ticket who is not con
fosseillv and conspicuously the superior of
his republican opponent for the office fur
which he is named, such superiority if
especially and prominently notable in tlir
c;e of Hiram T. Gilbert, our candidate fo
County J udge. Though still comparative
ly young, there is confessedly no better
posted lawyer in the county. Whilt in
connection with his senior partner, Jt dgo
Leland, engaged in s iHro practice at tho
La Salle county bar, his highest suc'uss
has been attained in tho appellate and u
preuiti courts.where more printed briela
and arguments of his preparation are on
91e than of any other lawyer in the county
during the same length of practice, and it
is conceded on all sides that his papers ot
this kind are models of graceful composi
tion, logical compactness and force and le
gal eruditioa.
The following in reference to Mr. Oil
utrt from tho La Salle Democrat meets tur
hearty endorsement, with the addition that
before he entered the University of Leipsic,
Mr. Gilbert had graduated with the high
est honors from Cornell University, New
York '.
Among the worthy candidates on the
ticket who asks the suffrage of the people
is Hiram T. Gilbert, Esq., who seeks the
office of County Judge. Xo maa in the
county stands higher than he in the esti
mation ot the people, lie is thoroughly
rcrsed in the law ; his record as a lawyer is
known to all, his public character stain
less, and if elected, and there is no doubt
of it, he will discharge his arduous duties
without tear or favor. Mr. Gilbert was
born in Troy Grove, this county, in 1850.
He studied at the university of Leipsic,
Germany, for two years, 1871 to 1S73, and
learned to read, write and speak German
fluently. There are a large number of Ger
mans in the county who do not understand
English, and it will be a great advantage
to them to have a county judge who caa
transact business with them in their own
laneuage. This office should hardly be
clashed us a political one, and as Mr. Gil
bert is really the only candidate with
brains running for it he is worthy the most
active support, not only of Democrats, but
of citizens generally.
West VnuiisiA. Really it is too bad,
and we hardly have the heart to take away
the crumb of comfort, which in view ot
their disaster in Ohio they had magnified
into a huge loat, the republicans supposed
they had found in the result ot the election
in West Virginia. For over a week they
hare been claiming the election of two ot
the four congressmen in that state, and to
have whittled down the democratic major
ity of 2,500 to 500. The upshot of it, how
ever, is, that the republicans nominated
Mr. Gotrin the Wheeling district, a man
who for a short time had been secretary ot
the navy under Mr. naves, and was per
sonally so popular that the democrats only
formally opposed him, so that he was elec
ted by some 1,800 majority in a district
usually democratic by 300 to 400 majority.
The other three districts the democrats
appear to have carried by about their usual
majorities, the claim of the republicans of
having also carried the second district be
ing now abandond, the latest returns an
nouncing the success of the democratic
candidate by from 50 to 150 majority.
For the first time in half a dozen of
years the Democracy of New York City
are thoroughly united and have agreed
upon the nomination of a candidate fur
mayor, whose election is thus assured by
40,000 to 50,000 majority. The candid tie
is Franklin Kdson,who has been tor mur.y
years a prominent member of the Produce
Exchange of that city, having been clcc'cd
to the Board of Managers, and subsequent
ly to the Presidency for a number of years.
He is the originator of the system of grain
inspection existing in New York, and ia
known generally as an honorable and
highly-successful business man.
Democrats will remember that it is both
a duty and but common fairness at the up
proaching election to divide the vote for
representatives evenly that is, to give
Alex. Vaughey 1J and Samuel Wiley
vote. It is probable that the union of the
grcenbackera and prohibitionists on Faw
cet Plumb may be strong enough to secure
bis election, but that combination will
render it only more certain that the demo
cratic vote will bo sufficient to elect both
our nominees it the vote is divided fairly.

"THE BEST S.IEBIFF.'
We believe it was under th. u-trdiin-ship
if Mr. Clark, "tie test s'.erill," iV -.,
according to the Ottawa 7i7t '?', th.it
three noted bank roblxTs succeeded in tin
ging a hole through tho wall, (within a
few feet of the bed on which he slept n '!
under tho very noso ot his cLMcient j ; 1
guard) of our new county jail and making
their escape. A tender hearted commi:!..v
of the board of supervisors, to save Vha.i
in the canvass he was making for a re elec
tion, consented to absolve huu from blame
and tried to saddle it on the architect, I ut
we believe no attempt has yet been made
by an equally obliging couiu'.ittec of
supervisors to saddle on te architect
Clark's subsequent negligence ;u the nift
ier of capturing the prisoner.- Next t' y

cat for himself and his two "el atns." I'l.c
food was given and the three were sun

building to which they ntter-ird retired.
Walter Hutlenield recognized the men ti
the esctioeJ prisoner, and jumping ou a
horse rode to town at break neck spi-.J
and notified Sheriff Clark. I!ul he couldn't
possibly go for them then. His horses
were not shod, he hadn't time, the prison
ers had doubtless left by this time', iVe.,
Walter went home disgusted, deciding that
the prisoners might go to Halifax tor all
he cared. They appear to have staid at
the old shanty until nearly midnight, for
about 13 o'clock that night they were met
a mile or two off on the highw ay and en
quired the road to aperville. Aithough
handsome rewards have since been offered
by the county for their capture, ihe three
"gentlemen," thanks to the diligence of
our "best sheriff," no doubt leisurely pur
sued their weary tramp to Napeiville that
night acd next day were safely lost in the
sea of Chicago's half million. h yes,
Clark makes a splendid sheriff for certain
kinds of people and no doubt will receive
the hearty support of all the cracksmen,
thieves and burglars in the county.
