THE CAMPAIGN ARGUS!
EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE n |!
Only One Dollar!

The coming Presidential cam
paign will be one of the most inn
,prtarlt ever held in this conn
try. IT will decide whether our
Government is to be preserved and
administered in accordance with the
principles of the Constitution, or
whether it shall lapse into a central
power and, at last, into a military
despotism. 1t is a subject of the
highest Importance that arrange
ments be made for furnishing the
people with proper reading matter,
in order that they may be informed
upon the issues to be voted on. For
this purpose we offer to furnish the
WEEKLY ARGUS in clubs of ten
copies or more, all sent to one man,
and for distribution among people
who are not now subscribers at 81
each, for six months-all in each
club Of ten or more to pay in adj
vance and all in each club to com
mence and end at the same time.
OF course We can only make bare
paying business, at this rate, but we
do it for the purpose of helping en-
tighten and arouse the people, hop
ing thus to increase the democratic
vote.
Each township should have its
central committee and its democratic
| association, and appoint active, re.
liable committees for each school
| district. And the school district
committees should see that clubs
| are raised to supply every family
with a paper. The money must al,
| ways accompany the order, as no
papers will be sent until the money
is received. Direct letters to

He DOGS Nor Do RIGHT.-We have no
sympathy with the sentiment advanced by
Mr.. Gable, Mr.. Osborn, and DR.. Truesdale,
that Spencer & Rob-us some are excusable
on the ground of self-interest, in seeking to
keep up their ferry monopoly, BY opposing
the free bridge. They have no moral right
to do any such thing. They have been made
rich by the generosity of the people ia the
free gift Of a ferry monopoly for 30 years,
and they have no right to use the power the
people have given them in destroying the
peoples right to free bridge. ssa

PEOPLE who were indifferent to our an.
peais to the Supervisors, in March, to re-

duced to the lowest possible figures. Thew
are too late. The law requires the Super.

We are thankful that those were indifferent
then, are awake now, and hope they will
keep awake, in future.

TESTIMONIAL To FATHER PELANoURsEs.
-On Sunday afternoon, at two
o'clock, the friends of the Rev. J A. NJ. Pei
amorgues assembled at the school rooms of
St Anthony's church, Davenport, as we learn
from the Gazette, and presented him with a
handsome gold headed cane, a testimonial
address, and resolutions, on the eve of his
departure for his native land. His honor.
Mayor Donahue, presided, and presented
the cane, the audience numbering over four
hundred persons. The address and resolu-
tons were read by Mr.. J ohm Gallagher. The
cane is described as an elegant article, made
of ebony, with massive, solid gold head,
carved and engraved with train of cars
on one face of the hexagonal below the top
of the head, steamboat on another, and a
prairie scene on another, and costing 5000, 90.
The legened is as follows:
Presented to the Very Reverend J. A. NJ.
Pelamorgues. by the Catholics of the City of
Davenport, Iowa, y. s., as a testimonial
for services rendered during period Of thirty
years. Davenport, April, 1861
Among the other pleasant incidents of the
occasion, was the presentation to the Rev.
gentleman of q silver cup, by the children of
St. Anthony's Sunday School, also pleas
ant surprise. For the past thirty years
Father Pelamourges has labored necessarily
to promote the material and spiritual interests
of his charge, and these slight mementoes,
in small degree afford an evidence of the
high appreciation in which he is held by
men of all classes and religious predictions
in our sister city.

POPULAR OFFICE

Notwithstanding the last elected
Sheriff of Hancock County came out
of the little end of the horn, the Of
flee still retains all its popularity
There are seven anxious candidates
who are put forth by MANY Demo
Gratis, Democratic Friends &C., for
the place. These Indifferent fellows,
who don't care for the Office, but who
are in the hands of their friends, are
as follows: Abraham Siddall, B. f.
Robinson, Thomas McKinnis, c. j.
Kraus, Samuel Myers, Frank Karst
and Matthias Markley. In the Find
lay Democratic ring. McKinnis is
considered to have the inside track,
and Karst the least chance of all for
the nomination. Karst is the candi-
date of the Germans, they thinking
they are entitled to the Office for long
and faithful service to the party
The ring don't look much to that,
however, knowing the party is sure
of the Germans any way, and is deter
mined that no such /" fat slice" shall
fall TO their share.

STANTON.

Immediately after hearing OF the
action of the Senate in regard to the
acquittal of the President, Secretary
Stanton issued an order turning over
the books, papers, etc, of the War
Office to Gen. Townsend and notified
the President of his action. He stated
to johnson that owing to the failure
of the Senate to sustain their resolu-
ton retaining him In the War Office,
by two thirds vote on the articles of
impeachment, he vacated his place.
This will place dd interim Thomas
in charge of the War Department,
and makes the triumph of the Pres
dent over right complete.
The President and his friends had
a jubilant time over the victory.

According to the latest Cretan ac-
counts, battle was fought on the
4th of April, on the plain of Hera-
chon, in which 1900 Cretans re-
pulsed a vastly superior number Of
Turks, who were supported by regu-
lar Circassian cavalry. The English
man -of-war Trincluco witnessed the
battle. On the 9th of April the Gre
tans achieved another victory ut
Rhetymus. Other battles took place
ut Velondake and Sertino. In the
former the Turks had 400 men killed
and wounded. Sixty thousand refu-
gee Cretan families in Greece were
exposed to great misery. The Greek
Government has spent three millions
of dollars to save them from starVa-
tiOn.

THE AUTHOR,

To Gen. John C. Lee is the party
indebted for the excellent platform
adopted by the Convention at Chi
cago. After he was appointed by
the Ohio delegation one of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, request was
made that he propose a series OF res
olutions giving his views on the great
questions of the day and the position
he should take when the Committee
met to form resolutions to be submit
ted to the Convention. He did so, and
the resolutions resd by him to the
delegation were the ones, without
one idea more or less, that were pre-
sented to the Convention for its ap-
proval. Great credit is due the Gen
eral for the excellence of the platform
and for the prominence. as one OF her
sons, he gave to OHIO in the Conven-
ton.

ImDeachQnenS.

The Impeachment Managers, who
have been inIuiring into the causes OF
the acquittal of the President, submit
ed report to the House Monday.
While the testimony made public
does not trace money into the hands
of any Senator, it shows cOnclusively
that money was used, and that tile
whisky rings of the country were
active in their efforts to prevent con-
viction.
Thus, it is seen that men who have
been robbing the Treasury and pOck-
citing the peoples money by the mill
ion, we're the active friends Of Mr..
Johnson, and it is reasonable to in
fer that they have fastened them
selves upon him in such way that
he could not shake them off if he
would. This whisky ring now con-
trolls the Government. and will con-
tinue to control it so long as Mr..
Johnson remains in Office. No cor
rupt official who is in favor with the
whisky thieves can be turned out of
office, and no man not in favor with
these men, can be appointed. This
is the situation to day. Itis to this
the country has been brought by An
drew Johnson, and it is the response
bilityIfor the continuance of these ter
rible and demOralizing state of things.
that the seven Republican Senators
who voted for acquittal, have assum
