The Washington street landing is very
poor one. No teamster ever attempts to

the river bank until they get to Eagle

and enter that way also. They will be
glad when the Eagle landing is ready for
use.

Thanks to the Independent Press, polir-
ical rings and Mountebanks find it difficult
to control the people The signs of the
for our body polite. The self constituted
ever, failed to read the signs OF the times,
or at least to be profted by them, else
they would not have nominated that chrop-
ic ofice-seeker, Tom Henderson, for con
gress, few days ago at Princeton. The
people of this county seemed to want a
change in congressman and at the Repub-
lican primaries they said give us Judge
Lynde, and the fourteen delegates went to
Princeton instructed as no delegates ever
were beforehand what have they done?
Nominated Tom Henderson, who, for the
past twelve years, has tried every plan
and party to be elected to congress. Ask
them why they did this and they say he is
clever fellow and we had to do it to beat
Hawley Such reasons may satisfy party
tricksters but they will not satisfy a large
majority of the voters of this county. The
better class, the thinking, reading men of
the old Republican party are to-day wait
ing with impatient anxiety to see who the
convention called to meet at Princeton on
the Gath of the present month will place
before them, and if he is as good man as
our weakened delegates sacrificed on the
LIST, do not hesitate to say he will be
elected by an overwhelming majority. The
man that thought to defeat Owen Lovejoy
in 1862 by running in the Copperhead
ticket; again, not long after. got up a fight
that defeated the Republican nominee and
elected a Democrat from strong Repnb-
lican nominee and elected Democrat from
strong Republican district, but | will
not ask you to print what | really think OF
him. The people remember all this and
much more, of Tom Henderson; and some
Of them know how he deceived Judge
Lynde, and that when he saw chance tC
secure the nomination he did not hesitate
to sacrifice his word and bully our weak
delegation into submission. But he will
find the people have something to say be-
fore he is IA member of congress and | am
sure they will never send such renegade
falsiier, and trickstel from this district
at least not as long as we have 50 many
better men.

The GREAT MEDICAL REFORMATION
The Satanic Theory that preparations
which iufame the brain are, in any sense
of the word remedies, has been overthrown,
and can never be re-established The Won
derful effects which have attended the use
of DR.. WALKER VINEGAR BrTTERs as
an antidote to the causes of disease and a
cure for every comfortable ailment, have
demonstrated the utter talacy of the doc
trine that alcohol is tonic as we'll as a
stimulant. The new and incompatible
vegetable remedy which has superseded
the death draught of rum btters, is as free
from every intoxicating element as the dew
of Heaven, yet see how it is invigorating
the nervous, relieving the bilious, curing
the dyspeptic, purifying the blood Of the
scrotulous, strengthening the debilitated,
arresting premature decay, and replacing
dependency and weakness with cheerful
ness and activity. Truly grand medical
revolution is in progress.

HOW SENATOR SHEPARD WAS SOLD OUT

That Senator Shepard and his friends
were sold out and traded off by the vilest
and curruptest of bargains is now well
known. The Galva and kewanee and
Geneseo gangs who were thirsting for Haw-
ley's blood held a meeting in Geneseo on a
Sunday, and fixed up the trade by which
Muderwell was to use his ten delegates for
Henderson and Lyude, sometimes for one
and sometimes for the other, and some
times dividing them. Aleck Albro and
his gang we're present at Geneseo, at that
meeting on that Sunday, and fixed up the
bargain by which Hawley was to be slaugh-
tered. And the Lyude interest from this
county was also represented there Shep-
ard and Hawley we're to be sacrificed. and
Moderwell and Henderson nominated.
How well this corrupt Sunday bargain and
sale was carried out the readers of The
ARGUS know. When the senatorial con
senuon met, the Rock Island DELEGATES east
thelr votes IA way To beat SheparJ and
nominate Molerweli-aai now they ask
the people TO ratlty their corrupt trade. nv
which an honest, intelligent and ,pc,r,un,
able senator was thrown overheard t,r An
