SICK OF THE BARNACLEs.

Hampton and Port Byron are indignant
at the action Of the late republican conyen'
ton, and even in Rock Island the respecta
bic portion of the Republican party is get
ting sick and Disguised with the Court Honss
Ring, and the barnacles which compose it,
and would like to see the whole corrupt gang
turned out Of office. Why one set of men
should rule and run everything, and take
possession of all the emoluments Of office as
natural inheritance, they cannot see.-
There are many deserving and competent
young men in this city to whom little aid
would be Invaluable in pushing them forward
in their professional careers, and yet they
must stand back and let the old barnacles
absorb everything. The thing is not right,
and the best of republicans are forced to ad
NIT it.

abuses Mayor Buford because he did not,
as it claims, enforce the ordinance for the
closing of saloons on Sunday, during the first
six months of his administration. 1t then

complsh the difficult feat Of occupying both
the whisky and the cold winter pNa'form. We
have only to say that as far as we can learn,
this Sunday ordinance has always been en-
forced in this city, except during the time OF
the admin ,strs.ion of Mayor Murdoch, who
thought so little Of his oath as to not only
allow the law to become dead letter on the
statute books, but to even go into saloons
himself, on Sunday, and wait on customers.
During the many years in which Bailey
Davenport was Mayor, the law was always
enforced, and no dissatisfaction was felt on
the part of the keepers of saloons. They
submitted quietly to the force of public sen
timent, just as our merchants do, who never
think OF keeping their stores open on Sun.

FINANCIAL STANDING OF THE ROCK

For six months pas: the ARGUS has been
the only paper published in this city which
has met its teIegraphic bills from the Asso-
ciated Press. The other paper has been
unable to keep up in this respect. Despair.

Of arrearages from it, the Associated Press
made all attempt to force the ARGUS to
help pan the debts Of the Union. We have
publicly exposed this outrage, and having
the documents filed away to prove our as
sertions, if necessary, that sheet has not the
temerity to deny them. We have refused
to submit to any such uuheard of proceed

sensible action will be highly commended by
the public. The idea of firm composed Of
such light materials endeavoring to spread

proceedings of the Board, but nevertheless

slowly.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

When rings and cliques run party into
the ground, the people sometimes dismiss
their demagogues and barnacles, and carry
on operations themselves. This has been
the case in Will and Cook counties, where
the masses of the Republican party have
deserted their unprincipled leaders, ana
have nominated ticket of their own. ne
democrats will make no nominations IN
those eount;es.

RIDING Two WILD AND UNTAMED
STEEDs.-The attitude of the Democ-
racy, both with respect to the negroes
and the Irish, is becoming inetesting.
Their perplexity is greater than at
any former period of tle party's his
tory. To go earnestly into the sup.
port of our claims against England
throws them into harmony with the
Republican Administration, and to
oppose these demands offends every
Irishman in the United States. The
dilemma is not rendered more pleas
ant by the reflection that every
word of patriotic support given to
their own Government against the
piracy of Great Britain, is q mortal
offense to their late proteges, and
present friends, and confederate reb-
els. In the light of these surround>
ing difficulties the editing of a DEM
ocratic newspaper is no sinecure.
If we add to this complex mess the
additional distress of being forced to
uphold the doctrine of Free Trade,
and thereby cast their weight for
England against their own country
and its beat interests, the deplorable
condition of the Democratic press
would seem to be complete.--Darling
ton Republican.
