pleasure that this gentleman has received
the nomination in Chicago as one of the
candidates for the legislature. The people
of this city would do themselves credit, and
secure the services Of an excellent man by
%eIecting him to that positi on.
Berthold Lowenthal, thougha German by

of twenty years las. past, and some fourteen
years of that time was q resident of the city
of Rock Island at one time doing business
in Il Wholesale clothing house, Of which he
was senior partner, and subsequently one
of the firm of B. d. Buford & Co., pillow
manufacturers of this city. He also held
several positions of public trust, at one time
elected as alderman, and serving in all, to
the entire satisfaction of his constituents.
AS a business man he has been uniformly
successful, and highly respected for his fair
and upright method of dealing with all with
whom he was brought in contact. mall the
relations Of private and social life he was
always q gentleman, and, as such, endeareo
himself to a host of friends. In public life,
none disputed his integrity, and all conceded
his efficiency and the faithful discharge Of
his duties. a democrat in the honest and
true sense of the term, yet always popular
even among republicans, We feel confident
the people of Chicago would do we'll to cleo,
him to the office for which he has beer
nominated, and hope to have the satisiactio,
of chronicling 80 desirable q rsault.

HAWLEY's OPPOSITION TO II BRIDGE.
The onion publishes a letter this morn
ing, signed by A. c. Harding, III c., and
purporting to be written by A. G. Harding,
in which he says the report shat Hawley
wrote him to oppose the bridge is false"
We all know Harding to be a political
srickster, and if he wrote the letter-which
we doubt-it was written before Hswley
wrote to him, or else he must lie, for it will
not for q moment be supposed that the men
whom we have named in our offer of $50, to
| sign a statement that they have not seen
and read both Hawley 8 letter and Harding's
reply, would keep silen, if the accusation
was false.
The Union asks Us, on the strength o
this letter which was never written By
Harding), to take down one false charge
We cannot do it on such pslpsbly false Ell
dence, or even on snch testimony as A. c
Harding, but we will do it, and pay tn
money, and make suitable apology, whel
the men we have named sign a statemen
that they hsve not seen Hswley's letter ant

VERY LANE

The Union makes q silly attempt to pref
udice poor men against Mr.. Cable, because
he is rich, when his riches have been the
mean of enabling him to give q constant
and remunerative employment to q large
number of lAboring men, and, also, enabled
him to take and build the Peoria and Rock
Island Railroad, against the opposition Of
the c.. R. l.. & P. Railroad, thereby giving
US q competing line to the east, which will
benefit every man in the county by giving Vi
cheap freights. The Union also accuses
him of being a coal monopolist, when he has
never been one, as is shown by his never
raising the price of coal only as the cost OF
mining compelled, when he might have done
it many times, and the people could not
have helped themselves. But what has his
riches to do with the issues now before the
people ? What have they to do with the
tariff robbery, the congressional land'grAbs
and the national bsnk swindle ? We answer
just this-he cannot be bought up by New
England and Pennsylvania aristocrats and
thieving lobby rings about Washington, as
John B. Hawley has Will the Union ex
plain Hawley's record? Such lame argu-
ments as it makes against Mr.. Cable, and
never for once referring to the live issues O.
the campaign-never abiding to Hawley's
damnable record-will rave the effect tc
make votes for Mr.. Gable. By all means
Mr.. Union, keep up your present style o
1t suits US.
