PECULIAR PEoPIE.--W ednesday evening
John b. Cough delivers his great lecture, in
Babcock's Hall, on Peculiar People, touch
ing up such peculiarities as grumbling, want
of tact, obtuseness, meanness, bashfulness,
brass, bores of many kinds, irreyerence and
cant, real and sham heroism, the superstti-
Gus and credulous, the aimless and the wor-
ker, the true men aud the shams, &C., dc
The object of these lectures is to instruct
and amuse the people, cultivate a more re-
fined and correct taste in the community
and, last, though by no means least, raise
some funds for the Young Mems Associa-
ton, to fit up new rooms, and enlarge and
make permanent their library and reading
room. 1t is of especial Importance to the
young men who are growing up, that soci-
ETY. of this sort be encouraged and made
prosperous. 1t is to the interest of our citi-
zens and the credit of the city to make it q
success.

THE TICKET viii be found at the head of
this paper, and the proceedings of the con-
vention, in another column. The men who
are put in nomination We're not brought out
so much on account of their political views,
as on account of their personal fitness for the
places to which they are nominated, and their
deep interest in the prosperity and future
welfare of Rock Island. In this matter po-
litical opinions are matter of minor iupor
tance-and the interests of Rock Island, in
financial and business point of view, should
receive due consideration. And in this re
spect the equal of the ticket to be found at
the head Of this paper cannot be produced
Not one man of them is pledged to any
clique, corporation or monopoly of any kind
but all are devoted to-the interests of the
great mass of the people, irrespective of
clique, creed or party. That's the ticket to
elect.
The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1867-02-26

Our neighbor, of the Lraion, seems to be
considerably anxious in regard to the politi-
cal status OF Mr. Peter Fries; saws he has
gone into the enemy's camp is running
on a ''radicatcopperhead ticket p "regrets
his course, because he is a German !" saws
he ''is of little practical service to any par
ty !" and, by implication, calls him a worth
less fellow" "shyster, weak in the back
''shaky in the knees" &C., &C., &c.
This style of attack upon 50 modest and
unpretending gentleman as Mr.. Fries is
rather unexpected, and, we should say, slight
" indiscreet.
We know nothing of Mr.. Fries political
opinions, never having heard him say "a word
on the subject, but we judge that the man
who Is the subject OF such an attack as is
found in the onion of this morning. can't be
very far from right.
But Dir. Fries was not nominated because
of his political opinions He was not asked
whether he was a republican or democrat.
He was not asked to make any pledges OF
any sort, personal or political. He was NOM
mated because of his personal WORTH his fit
ness for the place, and his interest IN the fu-
ture prosperity of the city,-and he will go
into the council perfectly free to act as his
judgement shall dictate on all matters which
may come before him.
Mr.. Fries is not an office-seeker but is a
considerable property holder and taxpayer,
and large business man, who is interested
in the growth and prosperity of the place. II
his opponent has ever done any business, ex-
cept hold office, we have forgotten what il
was. Mr.. Fries did not sign away the rights
of the people to the ferry franchise. His OPP
ponent did. Mr.. Fries is not connected with
any clique. His opponent is. The conven-
thought Mr.. Fries suitable man for alder
man, and, without asking him any questions,
gave him every vote. We have no doubt
the people will think so election day.

We sometime hear people say NJ. Merrill

10 see it in that light. Mr.. Merrill We es
TEEN as clever gentleman who knows very
well how to engineer a caucus or convention,
and knows very well how to look after off
cial pay, having been in office nearly all his
life. He has run twice for sheriff. and been
Il deputy nearly all the balance of the time
he has lived here. He has run once for JUS
tice of the peace, and was beaten. He may
have been candidate for other Offices but
he never received a majority of votes in this
city, for anything, and he never ran ahead of
his party, either in the city or county. We
cannot see that he is any more popular than
a great MANY other men.

SOMETHING NEN-A KING AMONG SHoEMAK'

of Rock Island and the surrounding towns,
the treatment of a wouldbe King towards the
Journeymen Shoemskers of Rock Island ::
About the time of the breaking ont of the re-
belicn, iourneymsn shoemRkers' wages were
SO low they could scarce make living. At
that time We were compelled to form ourselves
into an Association, in order to raise our wa
ges We were compelled to do that, and that
would be King Each time we were compelled
to ask for an advsnee on our wages the would
be King kept us idle from two to three weeks,
go that could never realize anything from
the advance we would get, as he would always
cut down our wages when business was little
dali p ~ - su g. ~ vw =-
During all this time our wages we're lower
than other mechanics We were a half dol
lar or seventy-fve cents below carpenters,
blacksmiths or machinists, and we generally
work from fourteen to sixteen hours, while
other mechanics work ten.
We have come down twenty-five per cent
on our wages, but this wonld.be King Swan
son is not satisfied with this; he saws he win
not employ a man who sticks up for his rights
or for his wages. On this account his men left
of work. But he was lucky enough to have
two men who were raised under such rule as
he would wish to exercise over all men, and
they remained with him. But we, American
speople, are not used to such rule and cannot
submit TO it. We are, therefore, compelled TO
call Swanson's "ScAR SHoP." as we shot maxi
ers term it; also any jour who works for this
chop when he can get employment in other
shops, our Association regards as "a SCAB."
In conclusion We express hope that this
man. Swanson, will, in future, d better by
men in his employ, and act with more human

rules Of the craft THE ASSOCIATION
