The Cambridge Chronicle, edited by
Mr. Hawley's clerk to the Committee on
Claims, in reviewing the results OF the
late election in this county, speaks OF the
friends of Judge Lynie in mild and en-,
dearing terms, as follows:
Rock Island Republicans thus early
begin TO reap the fruits of the malignant
and shameless personal fight which they
originated and waged They barely cS
capped the reproach of giving a majority
against the candidate whom they nomina
ted for congress; while they do give ma
jority of 50 against MUderwell, whose nom
inatinn for senator was Il part Of the same
unholv combination, and their candidate
for sheriff is buried under almost 800 op
position majority.
Their county also gives , majority
against Powell, Republican candidate for
superintendent, and 1908 more votes toI
/ the Democratic than for the Republican
candidates for representatives. The re
sponSibility for this decentralization need
not be sought outside the malignant clique
that Hayerstick headed-except as then
hateful purposes we're aided by decentel
men, whose reasons will probably remain
riddle while the memory OF that insanity
shall last

INsOLENCE REBUKED.

A few days ago the Chicago Journal Of
fered gratutous and an outrageous in
suit to the majority of the people of this
State, and to a most competent, worthy
and upright man whom they have just elect
ed by over 10000 majority to fill State
Office. The Journal said:
II, as now seems probable, the man Etter OF
Bloomington, Is really elected State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction, over SO much more able
and proper a man as Prof. Powell OF Aurora, we
must feel like blushing for the intelligence and
pood sense OF he majority OF the voters OF Illinois.
Such Democratic victory" would be SIMPLY a
public disgrace. just think OF Etter stepping into
the shoes OF DR.. Newton Bateman Those who
know the two men appreciate the grimness OF the
Joke
The foregoing was so great an outrage
that the Bloomington Daily Leader, a
Republican paper, published in the city
where Prof. Etter resides, rebuked it as
follows:
We re-publlsh the above simply for the
purpose of characterizing it as unfair and
contemplate. Although the Leader, dur
ing the campaign, opposed the election OF
Prof Etter to the Office Of Superintendent
of Public instruction. it did it solely upon
political grounds, aud not because it had
any doubts of Mr.. Etter's ability or integ-
rity. SO far as those qualities are con-
cerned, we believe that we speak the uni
versal sentiment of the people OF this city,
where Mr.. Etter is best known, when we
say that he is the peer of Prof, Powell, and
in every way qualified to fill worthily the
position of successor to DR.. Bateman.-
The Journal has certainly been misled in
its estimate of Professor Etter or
| it has been guilty Of belittling, willfully
one whom those who know him best have
every reason to believe will make an able
and honest public officer. As superintend-
ent of the public schools Of Bloomington
Prof. Etter earned reputation of which
he may well feel proud, and the fact thai
the public schools Of this city to- day com
pare favorably, in efficiency and influence
with those of any other city in the West
is largely owing to the executive ability anC
skill Of Prof Etter. The people of BLOOM
=. ington, without regard to party, will resen
as uncalled for aud untrue the intlmatlo
Y that the election of Prof. Etter is an impu
, tation upon the Intelligence OF the major
ity of the voters of Illinois. Had MI
Etter been the nominee of the Republlca
party, there is no man in the State WHOM
we should have been more proud to sup
port; and the fact that he was nomlne
of the Opposition does not detraot trol
7 his qualifications as an able and uprlg.f
man, and we predict that under his admll
r istration the public schools OF this Stat
o will suffer no loss.

to be long march over the Dosha swamps
for ducks. They looked cut sharp for tim

they searched it for ducks. They strayed
among the oilers but got no ducks. Night
was coming on and they had lost theil

LEGAL redress but do not believe II had the right
to 80 act as to give rise to the disgraceful proceed
ng Of srbtar dpeS tne the ferry
Company to land their boat at the foot Of that
or foot OF any street. that not considered saie by
the company. -DdUenport Democrat
Our indignant neighbor, over the river,
in an effort to defend the lawless conduct
of the ferry company, exhibits plentiful
lack of knowledge of the situation. 1t is
not "a small piece of business for any
city to enforce its laws and insist upon
obedience to the power of the people. The
city authorities have precisely the same
mower to remove an obstruction from the
leyee as from street. Had gang oflaw-
less persons obstructed Illinois street with
boxes, boards, timber, overturned loads
of hay, straw, or anything else, would it
be necessary for the city authorities to wait
the slow progress of courts and the legal
ouibbles of lawyers before the distractions
were removed? Not much. The ferry
company had lawlessly and defantly and
maliciously placed distractions upon the
leyee at point where that company had
no legal rights whatever. 1t was
the duty of the city government
to remove them at once, and compel obedi-
epce to its lawful orders. If the ferry
folks did not consider the landing safe no
one would object to their fixing it But
the stories that it was unsafe ihave been
exnloded by Mayor Gait who has placed
the boat where it belongs and where it is
now used with safety, without any change
being made in the landing. The city is
under no obligation whatever to expend
one cent to fix a landing for the ferry COM
papy But it has expended good deal OF
money for the benefit of that company,
while the company,in return for this favor,
has Withheld from the city treasury $500
each year, from 1851 to 1871, which 1t
agreed to pay, and which it honestly
owes to-day, with the interest. L. ).
Robinson and John W. Spencer have this
money in their pockets, and it ought to be
paid over to the peoples treasury.
The "disgraceful proceedings the DEM
oc,ot seems to see were wholly on the
part of T. j. Robinson and those who, by
| his act, attempted to defy the law, disturb
the public peace aud interrupt the proper
course of business.
