THE CAMPAIGN ARGUS!
EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE IT /!
Only One Dollar.

The coming Presidential cam
paign will be one of the most i'm
portant ever held in this coun-
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 central
power and, at last, into a military
despotism. 1t is 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 ad-
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 paper. The money must al
ways accompany the order, as no
papers will be sent until the money
is received. Direct letters to

THE argument used in favor of running
the Peoria railroad by the way of Moline, is
on the same little narrow guage as the ar.
gument against the free bridge. They say,
'It viii injure our trade" The people who
use it seem to be under the impression that
Black Hawk, Bowling, Coal Valley, Western
Richhnd Grove. Preemrtion and that
region must be fenced in and compelled to
come to Rock Island or Rock Island will be
ruined! They therefore propose 70 saddle a
debt Of $4,000 upon the people OF this place
in order to prevent the road from being ex-
tended from Coal Valley to Peoria, and TO
build it, if built at all, through Moline.
That is all the argument they have to offer
now, and it seems to us . very narrow
contracted and weak one. IF Rock Island
expects to grow and flourish by any such
policy as compelling people to come here by
preventing their having railroad facilities,
she is very much mistaken. Give every
body the best railroad facilities possible and
the town viii be far more prosperous. The
proposition of Mr.. Cable, to build and fur
nish one-sixth of the whole road to Peoria,
if accepted, makes the road certain, at q
very early day, and relieves our people from
any excuse for running the town in debt for a
project which, at best, is not sure Of success.

Last week the city of Frederick, Md, with q
population but little larger than that of Rock
Island, voted $3.50 900 stock to the Frederick and
Pennsylvania Line Railroad, with only 80 votes
in opposition.
Yet Rock Island hesitates to take one-ffth the
amount in tho Peoria rosd.-Rim Onion.
Davenport run in debt owe, half million
of dollars and can't pay it. Rock Island
don't propose to follow the example of either
Maryland or Davenport-especially when
we can secure road to Peoria much quick
er and without expending dollar, by ex-
tending the present road.

DISGUSTING FANArIcIsM-The Davenport
Democrat says that an eminent divine OF that
city claims that Senator Grimes, in receiv-
ing stroke Of paralysis, has met with di.
rect punishment from Divine Providence,
for opposing the conviction of Andrew John
son. It further says:
This puts M in mind of the declaration of Sow
sral Davenport clergymen, made at Metropolitan
Hal, little over three years ago. In the assassin-
alton of Abraham Lincoln they plainly saw the
hand of Providence: taking away the kind heart
ed and rather undetermined Abraham, and lssy
ing in his stead Andrew Johnson man of nerve.
o man of infexible back bone, to take in hand
southern rebels. - s-= se en
The radical Union, Of this city, heads the
telegram in regard to Senator Grimes's H.
ness as follows: IAN AWFUL VISITATION ,,
thus intimating that God had struck Sena-
tor Grimes with paralysis because he would
not yield to radical fanaticism and vote to
remove the President of the United States
from Office. IF Wade, Sumner, Wilson,
chandler $50. had been stricken with pa.
ralysis, of course it would not have been for
any such reason. Ergo, "God is in favor oil
impeachment The idea is shocking. Does
any sane man suppose God approves of the
rsscslly schemes of the radical impeachers ?
