Young Mems Association.

EDITOR OF THE ARGUS, Sir At a meet
ing of the Young Mems Library Association.
on the evening of the 9th, pursuant to call
of the President, nominations were fairly
made for q ticket to be voted for on the ev-
eniug of the Sth, for officers of the society for
the year ensuing.
Among the nominees were 81. c. Connel-
lv, for Secretary, and Edward Burial, for
Treasurer, men known in Rock Island as
democrats, and interested in the success of
the Association.
4 different ticket from that nominated
was voted for and elected through the infu-
ence, if not the actual ballots of those who
were most active in the nominating meet
ing.
Misrepresentation of the ticket nominated,
and political arguments, were used with vot-
ers who were ignorant of the true ticket
nominated.
Republicans were influenced to defeat
Connolly and Burial, by aspiring leaders of
the republican party of Rock Island, with an
expressed view to control the selection of
Lecturers who shall hereafter speak to the
public under the auspices of the Associa-
ton.
If such an election is fair and honorable
then may those who engineered the thing
through, to defeat the democrats named, have
cause to congratulate themselves upon their
success.
The public has right to know the facts.
A REPUBLICAN.

These distances are not entirely accurate
of course, but they are nearly so. 1t is pos
sible we may have made them trife too

two or three miles less than the bluff road
but twill not vary much.

lands to keep post Office, the route might
be made passable at all seasons of the
year to that point, and then follow the road
out to Beal's, and the bluff road to the ferry.
This would increase the distance trife, but
it would carry post Office nearer the Joslin
neighborhood than any other. point, unless
the river road should be made the route for
the entire distance. 4
In any event it is safe to say that the dis
lance from Rock Island to the Desha Ferry
is 30 miles, and 80 more from that point to

miles, &*ks8 aSAisE4A f~t

Poplar School House, by C. B. Marshalrs to
the Middle Crossing, when it would follow the
Sterling railroad track across the Dosha to
Erie and still not increase the distance but
a tfihe, If any, and always be solid, safe
and pAssable road. It would be vastly pref
cradle 70 the noate by the ferry, for the reas.
on thst in high water, the road from the fer
ry to Erie is impossible. .
1t is also believed that the bluff road
would much better supply all the people be-
tween that road and Rock River than they
are now supplied, and supply much great
er number of people than the river road, for
read would ever 90 to the river read for
their mail matter; while all or nearly all be-
tween the bluff road and the river would go to
the bluff road, as the offices, properly located
on the bluff road near the roads running to
the river, would not be one-half as far for
them to reach as they now have to go for
their mail matter. There are roads from the
bluff to the river about every two miles.
We have thus endeavored to state the
points fairly in relation to both roads, and
given the distances as near as we could from
conversation with the people of both routes.
1t now remains for the whole people of the
Valley to decide where they will have post
Offices located, when the contract shall have
been let for carrying the mail.
Tt is important for them to remember that
the offices should be located wholly with ref:
erence to supplying the greatest number of
| people and deriving the greatest amount of
revenue to the post office department for
should the Offices besbadly located and the
revenue very small, the Post Master General
| might reduce the service or discontinue it al
together, which would be a great misfortune.
1t will be much better for some to suffer tenn
| porary inconvenience for the sake of estab-
fishing a permanent route, and trust to the
future to make such improvements as will
] accommodate them better. -..5-..-
