A RADICAL TRICK.

The radical hackers of H.wley are driven
to such desperate straights for something to
say against Mr.. Cable that they are circuls-
ting reports to the effect that democrats are
dissatisfied with Mr.. Cable. The radicals
OF Quincy go still further and send dispatch
es TO the Chicago papers that prominent
democrats are advising the withdrawal of
Mr.. Cables name and the calling of another
convention. To show how utterly ssnseless
these reports are and to prove conclusively
that it is radical trick we can state that the
convention at Dallas City provided for filing
any vacancy that light occur by deciina-
ton OF withdrawal. The originstors OF
these reports should be little better posted
before they attempt any such very sharp
tricks. Such things always recoil on the
heads of the originators. The radicals will
find when election day comes that democrats
as we'll as the great number of couservs
lives of the district, are perfectly satisfied
with Mr.. Cable, and are proud to have so
able and popular q candidate who is not
around begging or buying q nomination;
and they will further find that ali honest
voters who have the bes: interests of the
district and of the west and the whole coun
try at heart will vote for Mr.. Cable and viii
elect him.

FREE TRADE.-On Monday, October 10th,
the Hon. Chas Fl. Schriner, of Pennsylva
mia, will speak upon Tariff Reform in Dsv-
export. He is doing good work in Iowa.
Though he was Lincoln elector in Penn
sylvania in 1864, and is endorsed by well
known republicans, we can stand all that,
as he speaks only of tariff question, espous
ing the cause of Free Trade, course
which democrats always endorse. He will
have a good audience from Davenport and
doubtless many from this city.
