sunport him on that account That was
once a good plea. Mr.. Murdoch was once
working man, but he became ambitious and
sought fame and glory in politics.. He tried
to have the democrats nominate him for al
dermAn, but they modestly declined. He
then tried the republicans for an office, aud
through the immense influence Of Kit Akin
son, he succeeded in getting the republican
nomination for mayor, and was successful in
being elected to that Office, through the votes
of laboring men, who looked upon him as
representative OF the working men. He has
been in Office nearly year-and who would
recognize in our portly Mayor with his
broadcloth suit, and white vest and plug
hat, stalking through our streets with the
dignity of an Emperor, the Tom Murdoch Of
year ago. | do not wonder ne has such a
fear Of going to brick laying again and feels
that il would be much pleasauter to be
mayor another year-and continue to store
his bricks in that nice plug hat. That kind
of labor is probably peasanter than hand
ling the trowel. lie is not Il representative
Of the lAbOring men now.

4 PLEASANT TINE. About two weeks
ago, es we then noticed, the Odd Fellows of
Davenport came over, and paid a friendly
visit to their brethren Of this side. In re.
ciprocation of this courtesy, last evening
about twenty-five members Of the Rock Is
land encAmpment, and five or six from Cen
eseo, prepared to visit the Davenport lodge.
Owing to the heavy run of ice, the ferry
boat had gone into its winter quarters for
the night, and the visitors were accordingly
compelled to walk over BY way of the bridge.
On the other side they were received BY the
Davenport encampment, and escorted to its
lodge. Here the evening was passed in a
very pleasant manner, toward the close of
which the guests were sbuudanty supplied
with refreshments. We are informed that
the Davenport and Rock Island encamp-
ments were invited to visit their brethren at
Geneseo, and accepted the invitation. They
will make the trip sometime within the next
two or three weeks.
After an evening of social pleasures, the
encsmpment returned to Rock Island BY
means of q special train which was kindly
furnished by superintendent Kimball. of
Davenport.

R. b. Taylor and the proprietors Of the ARGUS
newspaper. They are al itching to get back

As far as the ARGUS is concerned, it ig
quite likely that the democratic members of

stead of Murdocks paper. But as far as

THINGS TO BE REMEWBERED.-Murdock is

l. He has compelled the people to pay
heavier taxes.
2. He has increased the ordinary expens.
es Of the city government.
3. He has made less public improve.
ment and furnished less work for laborers.
4. He has paid less of the public debt.
5. He has kept Marshal and two Police
men in Office who have prosecuted and rob.
bed poor people of fee, driven farmers away
from town and done more to injure the
character and business of the place than ell
other causes combined.
