Some OF our county cotemporaries are out in
favor of George w. Peasants, ESQ.,, of Rock Is
land, for circuit judge at the ensuing election
Mr.. Peasants is undoubtedly well qualified to ill
the position, but we think that Henry county has
equally as good and well qualified gentlemen, who
would be an honor to the bench.
Rock Island county, if we are not misinformed
has furnished circuit judge for this judicial dis
trict ever since the district was formed If Hen.
ry county does possess the material whereof t.
make good circuit judge, we think that she i.
entitled to lt.-Henry County Chronicle.
The Chronicle is mistaken. Judge Howe
Of Kewanee, in Henry county, held the Office
for one term, or until he resigned.
We cheeEfully endorse the good mention
OF Mr.. Peasants Heis one of the ables,
and fairest minded men in the district
Whether he would accept the position or no.
we cannot say-but neither he nor any other
man who is fit for the place can afford to
take the office for the salary, which is only
$1,000 year, with, perhaps, $500 or $500
year additional, for docketfees, there
rs no way to increase The salary, under our
present state constitution, and make the ex-
pense bear equally upon all, except by an un
opposed appropriation from the board of su.
pervisors Of each county. The salary ought
70 be 81, 500sor $4,000 q wear. RI I'll :

Says the Springfield Mass. Republican
''the republican members of the house from
Ohio must have WINGED little, if they have
any moral sensibility left, when their copper
head associate, LeBlond, boasted Of the re
refusal of the Ohio legislature to vote fol
equal suffrage in that state, and congratulate
ed the democrats that their course on this
question had thus been endorsed by the
great republican state of Ohio. There is nc
lodging the point of this satire, and we
hope the democrats will keep it up till they
shame the republicans into something like
consistency with their own professed princi
Piles. They expose themselves to the rebuke
aimed at the 'scribes, pharisees, hypocrites !;
they lay burdens on other mems shoulders
that they themselves will not SO much as
touch with one of their fingers The Bos,
ton Journal "regrets" this action in Ohio
and characterizes it as not up to the mark.

One Of the commissioners has resigned, Jun

The Fraudulent Ticket.

EDITOR ARGUS :-Messrs. Eggleston and
Bittenbanner for mayor, and Mr.. Connolly
for magistrate, passed through the late city
campaign without stain upon their reputa-
ton. | regret cannot say the same of Mr..
Parmenter. The fraud which he praetieed
to secure votes was not the only unmanly
act performed by him and his friends. They
defeated Mr.. Merrill for alderman in the Sec
ond ward. From the moment Mr.. Connolly
was nominated his election was conceded by
all parties. The democrats strained every
nerve to elect Mr.. Fries. knowing that
Connelly's election was certain they made an
arrangement with some greenies, friends of
Parmenter, and traded enough votes to elect
Fries and defeat Merrill. As a republican |
protest against this cut-throat business. it
is bad enough to be defeated by democrats,
but to be slaughtered by ones friends is far
worse. Parmenter and his green friends
had better always be honorably defeated than
dishonorably elected. Nothing transpired
during the late election more humiliating to
republicans than this one act

The eight-hour law passed by the Illinois
legislature, and which has been signed by
the governor, provides that after the LIST of
s May next eight hours labor between the
rising and setting of the sun, in all mechan-
ical trades, arts and employments, and other
cases of labor and service BY the day, except
in farm employments, shall be legal days
work, where there is no special agreement or
contract to the contrary. The act does not
apply to service by the year, month or week,
and does net prevent extra time or work as
employees may agree.
