Piasn has written a letter fo tbe Jerseyville denying ibat she's a Democrat, and she has written a letter to the Jersty county Democrat denying that she's a Republican, then the must be a mugwump. Democrats assume that this township belongs to them, and that they can elect whoever they nominate. We are not ready to grant this assumption but are always ready to contest it in a straight out, honorable Republican fight. J. K.

Francis is bargaining for the Whipple property; if he buys it he will not rebuild his bouse at present. The fight among Democrats for nom- inationa for the various township offices promises to be a bitter one. B. F. the present Supervisor, is a can- 'didate for re-election.

He is as good a man as they have. This- isn't our fight we intend to watch and see which wiiy the cat jumps. Here is a lutle'nut (a haeel nut) for Democrats to crack. Those Democrats who have clamored for reform, and accused tbe Republicans ot corruption and extravagance for 24 years may tackle it. Elsah already had a daily mail, all the mail accumodation that was needed, by railroad.

Then Elsah was added to the Star route making im extra and unnecessary expense, for tbe people of Elsah no more needed this mail than a digger Indian needs a piano'. We have the information from hangers-on about the post office that the mail brought this way is next to nothing and only arrives a little before the tram. Tet we are consoled by tbe remark from the post office officials that it might as well be paid to tbe mail carrier as to be paid in pensions. "Our popular P. claims that "he did it with his little petition." The Republicans did all they could to bring to justice all wrong doers, they never shielded anybody.
