SLIGHTLY ToUCHED.-The opponents Of
total depravity contend that there is a ten
dor spot, something good in the hear. Of
the wckedest man. We think so too, and
don't wish to be understood as representing
Hawley as perfect specimen of total poll
teal de prsvity. even if he is q protectionist,
a voter for tariff robbery, an advocate OF
eastern instead of western interest. We
have not been quite SO certain about the
Union, but have settled the question Id the
negative at last. 1t shows very tender
spot this morning on the railroad bridge
question. We, yesterday, accused Hawley
of writing letter to A. C. Harding, urging
him to oppose the bridge in congress. This
touched the Union, and, because it thinks
we have NO proof of the fact, it springs to
the defence of Hawley, aud refers to his
pettifogging speech made ia the council
chamber previous to his first nomination.
1t so happened that We heard that sgonizing
appeal for the nomination, and knew then
as we know now that be did write that letter
to Harding. The column of defense that
the onion tries to make this morning
amounts to just nothing At all, until it can
prove that Hswley did not write that letter.
1t will have . very happy time doing so,
when men right in Rock Island have seen
and read it. Now MIR. Onion don't try to
dodge this question. Did, or did he not
write letter to A. G. Harding urging him
10 oppose the building Of the railroad bridge
across the Mississippi at this point? Re
member great principle 10 at stake. Your
answer viii furnish you - sn example for
advocates OF total dspravisy or fos their
opponents.

FIFTEEN YEARS OLD.-The Davenport
Democrat announces to its readers, in Last
evenings edition, the fact of its entering
upon ito sixteenth year. We are glad TO
hear it, aud extend our congratulations.
May you continue in the path Of prosperity
that you have discovered. Fifteen years
old, and during the whole time-which ha,
brought to the Democrat adversely and
prosperity slike-ths, paper has never
ceased to advocate the interests and fight
the battles of its adopted abode. 1t bas
always been outspoken in regard to those
interests, whether good or bad if good, they
were always sure of the supper, of tina,
paper, aud always received it if measures
we're proposed that would not benefit or
would rs,srd the growth and influence of
the city, the Democrat was ever ready to
perform all in its power to discourage and
prevent their adoption. In fact, it has
always been Davenport paper, moro de-
voted to the interests of the city than to its
own and. although it has now reached the
summit OF its ambition, and is regarded by
the people and press alike to be the leading
democratic paper in the state, still it retains
its old love for the city, and never neglects
its devotion and attention to Davenport and
her welfare.
The prosperity Of the city has, in meas
ure, been shared by the proprieters of the
Democrat. Its efforts have been appreciated
by the citizens at home, and its influence
abroad has tended to give them fair share
Of this worlds goods. AS primd .tacie svi-
dence of this fact. we would make mention
Of their recent purchase of the Kelly estate,
near East Davenport, for $4,000; their
new and magnificent Office, justly called the
model Office of the west, and, besides, nu-
merous other evidences of prosperity. May
they see numerous happy returns of their
aan,versary, and continue their usefulness
as in the past.
