who has been on 4 pleasure trip of two
months TO the scene Of his boyhood days,
! returned to this city last evening. Like
many others from this place he visited
Montreal and from thence went 20 the hills
OF Old New England. Every one who has
been fortunate enough to enjoy these pleas
ure tours. has returned pleased with their
visit and satisfied that Davenport is the
place to locate in
| Hon. Chas. Mason, Democratic nominee
for Governor, was in our city yesterday.
CHANGED HANDs.-The half interest in
the Davenport Gazette Office, owned by our
veteran printer friend, Levi Davis, Esq,
has been purchased by J. Smith Connor,
Esq, an old resident aud well known citi,
zen Of Davenport, who will shortly assume
charge of the business depas tment and
financial management Of that establishment.
For nearly twsnty>six years has Mr.. DA,
Wis been engaged in the printing busine ss
in this city, and Notwithstanding he now
rctires well fortified with filthy lucre-the
| deserved reward for so many years toil--we
sincerely regret 20 thus extend the parting
hand. In his retiracy from his chosen pro
fession, We wish him continued prosperity
and long years of happiness.
We most cordially welcome our incoming
brother to the newspaper field. Long and
fsvorably known and highly esteemed in
our city, he needs no formal introduction.
As business manager he has great ability
| and viii unquestionably be the right man
In the right place.
SrlLL IN CuANcERv.-The sachsms Of
the Republican dis>organization have been
together in solemn council TO paw over the
fresh dirt heaps and see how much more
there vas to be eaten and what kind Of gravy
| would best season it.
They had chosen couple Of candidates
from the Peoples Party, aud these cand-
dates had declined the proffered honor, and
accepted Peoples Party nominations for
similar positions. This humiliation was 10
be resented or swallowed. Which to do +,
Was the question. There Was good deal
Of shuflling and grumbling, but tho deter
minstion seemed to be that If these eandi>
| dates would cnly make . statemen. Of their
views on the national policy, their rscreancy
to the Pricc.Republican Party could bc
overlooked. So an emissary was dispatch>
ell 10 inform the candidates Of the action Of
the Executives. But 90 far We think these
gentlemen have not acceded to tho request,
and yet for all that their names still appear
in the opposition ticket-sti'l the dirt eat
ing goes on.
Now, as Mr.. Rohlfs, the candidate for
Representative. 10 the only person Of the
Two whose views upon national policy
has any bearing whatever upon the subject,
We arc free to admit that in general he is as
radical . republican as be was one, two,
three or five years ago. This is perfectly
understood by the members Of the Peoples .
Party all around. He 10 % much Of a re
construction radical as any of the leaders Of
the Republican party. The Republicans
knew ii when they sought to question him !;
the People have no doubt Of it now and
never had.
Why. then, ask him questionsy Why
