HAWLEY ASKED TO DEFINE HIS POSI-
TON ON THE TARIFF QUESTION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS 1t
seems to be at least reasonable that the
people of each congressional district, should
know what are the views of their mem Der of
congress, who are asking reelection on
every important issue. We knop the riescs
of the member from this district as to the
necessity and conduct Of the late war and
to the fifteenth amendment. But these
are dead issues, and his course in congress
for the next two years, if re elected, can
either help or hurt the country in those
respects. On the Protective Tariff, a live
issue-the most important issue of this
campaign we have been utterly unable to
ascertain either from his speeches, or the
statements of his organ, the Rock Island
Union, what his views are. Will you on
behalf of his constituency, ask him to
explain his views on this subject that
we may vote for or against him under
standingly. The writer is q free-trade man,
and wishes to vote for the man who con.
forms most nearly to his ideas and is likely
to do the most in congress to reduce the
present Tariff. He believes that Q large
majority of both Republicans and Democrats
entertain the same views, and would like to
have representative in congress from this
district. 7. F.

ANOTHER CHARGE AGAINST HAw1Ey
How He Opposed the Government Bridge

As the campaign progresses, new and
most damaging charges continue to come to
light against Hawley. showing how and for
What base purposes he used his official
position as congress man from this district
The following, from the Chicago Times, only
confirms what we have for long time
known, and what is known to many in this
city and Moline. 1t shows how he opposed
and tried to delay the building OF the brides
At this point-s project in which every bus
mess man in this county is deeply interested,
and one in which every farmer and teams,er
IS also interested, as he pays his fifty and
seventy five cents to the ferry monopoly
every time he crosses the river. Here is the
article from the Times
1t has been publicly stated, and is gener-
| and Moline, that John Hawley, republican
candidate for congress in the Fourth district,
did write to a c. Harding, then member of
congress for that district, urging him to
oppose the government free bridge at Rock
Island. This bridge will interfere with the
profits Of the ferry monopoly there, and
Hawley, as attorney for Spencer. Robinson
d Co., no doubt would have made q snug
fee if he had succeeded in defeating the
construction OF this great thorouphfare.
Will Hawley or the Uiion attempt to deny
the:writing of the letter alluded to in the
above ? We shall see.
