action of Judge Guyer's wounded sense of
honor, By saying that we gave publicity to
he Islander, that Judge Guyer and family
we're riding on tickets Of which the Compa
ny had no account, and that John Warner
mas made us take il all back. On Saturday
we published communication sent to Us
by Judge Guyer, who, instead of bringing it
himself, got good democrat to bring it to
this office, that the Union might have the
to say the ARGUS was rebuked
by its own party friends. This is pretty
species of political mAneuvering, out of
which Judge Guyer and the Union will
probably get all the satisfaction they want,
before they get through with the matter
With the publication and following COM
ments which we made on Saturday, We had
supposed the subject would be allowed to
drop, but as the Union desires to provoke
furths, investigation, we again publish the
communication handed US on Saturday, and
Judge Guyer's letter of explanation;
Rock ISLAND, April 8. 1871.
HON. S. S. GUYER-Dear Sir In un-
swer to yours of 9Th inst. we have to say
that YOUR explanation of the matter of the
Street Railroad tickets is entirely satisfsc-
tory, and that no possible suspicion of any
wrong can attach to you with reference to
them. Yours truly,
JOHN WARNER, Prss't

The following is Judge Guyer's letter,
handed TO us since the publication we made
on Saturday.
Rock ISLAND, April Sth, 1871.
Messrs. Warner Pres, Il Robinson Sect.
Moline Il Rock Island Horse Railroad
Gentlemen, you certainly have noticed an
article in the ''ARGUs," charging that my
self and family have been using old Street
Railroad tickets.
Ny explanation is this. My boy and others
we're keeping Candy Il Pop Store opposite
Mr.. Harpers house, and the neigeboring
bows bought from them and paid IN those
Street Railroad tickets. and when the boys
divided, the tickets were taken by my bl J
and sold to his mother. She and he having
q good right to pass said tickets.
Yours truly,
S. s. GUYER.
This explanation WAS deemed satisfactory
to the President and Secretary Of the com
pany, and if the directors and stockholder
are satisfied, here the matter will probsbl,
end, provided the Union does not want II
know what r, ally became of tickets amount
ing TO somewhere in the vicinity of 500 o
! 1000 Of which the company never had an,
account These tickets we're printed at tn
| Union office, as we understand, and ma
have been Showed" like one Of the ticket
TO the Harper House opening, which wer
also printed st that Office, which ticket MI
Harper found had been passed upon hir
without his receiving the necessary dollar'
We can readily see why the Union is s
/ h4hOh hCACStOA AZ tAS A4SACb AuO5siOA as '
rake up the subject after it was, to all az
pesrance, satisfactorily settled and plausbl
smoothed over to the public. Perhaps tn
directors may be Enabled to see how Charlie
Knox and Judge Guyer's boys could take i
at their ''caudy and pop" store the numbe
of these tickets that have been deposited il
the box BY Judge GuYer's family sine
he was kicked out OF the posi-
ton of superintendent, and pei
haps they may be satisfied how boy
could pass for "CAndy and Pop" SO large
number ofnelU and ltIstamped tickets bear
ing Judge Guyer's name. If these ticket
were printed at the Union office, perhaps it
editor can tell the directors how the boy
who passed them got hold of SO many c
these aetU and uaStamped tickets. An
then perhaps the Union can tell them why
man who had once been Superintendent c
the road, and knew all the rules and regult
ton of the company should allow his boy t
sell, and his family to use uustamped tick
cts. Again if the Union can account fo
the tickets missing during Judge Guyer'
Superiutendency. it will be q great accom-
mediation to the stockholders and director
of the company. We trust the Union wi
not finch from the task it has undertake
in clearing the skirts of it's pet who hs
donned the spotless ermine ,hstAPproachiu
death made Judge Wilson drop upo
incompetent shoulders
