The recent Democratic convention in
Rhode Island was an amusing sort of a
body. They evidently had no idea of
nominating a ticket, anu tileir meeting was
only of use to show their weakness to the
public. The first speaker who proposed
that no nominations should be made gave
as reasons that the party was without mon
ey and without an organ. Why they had
no organ was pretty clearly shown by his
next remark, that they had been obliged
to pay for advertising the convention.
His idea of an organ was evidently that it
should be sent free to all the members of
the party, and should advertise all of its
meetings for nothing He also made a
discreditable disclosure of the party S NOR
al principles, by remaking that if they
made no nominations for year or two,
perhaps members would not stay at home.
or vote for the other side if they we're
paid $3.50. Another speaker said it usu-
ally took aoout $1,000 to pay up the regis.

THE ARGUS says the closing of the gov
eminent bridge to tcamsters engaged in
railroad freight does not affect
any but the railway interest. 1t affects
every wholesale merchant who ships goods
on the Davenport 4 ST. Paul railroad and
every merchant of Davenport who receives
or ships freight by the Peoria 4 Rock Isl
and road. Both classes have to pay fare
on the ferry.-R. l. Union.
And the evidence of it is to be found in
the following
The new tariff on the Peoria & Rock Isl
and road went into effect to-day.-First
second, third and fourth class freights are
reduced about ten per cent, and passen-
ger tariff about One-half cent per mile
Ddv. Democrat.
They have probably reduced it because
they now have to pay ferrlage haven't they
Mr.. Union ?
Residents of either side of the river who
wish to ship any freight by any railroad on
the opposite side ought not to be prevented
from crossing the bridges with their own
teams Tor that purpose But when any
railroad company which paid nothing to-
wards building the bridge claims the right
to establish line of transfer teams over
the bridges for the benefit Of its road, and
to compete with road that helped build
the bridge-that is at least a subject for
consideration. We see no reason why the
people should take sides against the road
which has property interest in the bridge,
and in favor of road that has no interest
init.

Elherne's Mass Convention.

The air is full of conventions. Lawyer
McElherne, recognizing the failure of his
first convention, is going to try again,-he
means to beat Olson if it takes all summer.
His call, this time, reads thus
Democratic and liberal Convention and Mass

The purpose of this convention is tC

sor against Krell, and, to use the words Of
the call, Ito take what other action they
may deem necessary" the way of con,
sidering the propositions of Quincy Nc OF
10 Comet to beat the Peoples Library. The
first purpose of the convention is all wei
and proper, and if they nominate Mr.. Muir
dock, and succeed in eleeting him, THF
ARGUS is of the opinion he will make 6
good Supervisor. His experience in the
City Council predicates for his services il
the Board of Supervisors, if elected, some
thing practical, which was sadly wanting
in the last Board.
1t is suggested that the friends of the
Peoples Library turn out in force to thi.
meeting, and that all who feel any interes

young men away from the saloons, anC

The Library is to have donation from
one source. Why should not the school
fund have a donation from another p
UIuOR.
The Union is getting logical; it did not
reason this way two years ago. Suppose
this donation to the school fund now come
from the county clerk 5 office, which is a
good paying Office, we believe? If the
Cnion will assign to this Office its exclusive
right to pay for publishing city ordinances
during the coming year The ARGUS will
donate one-half the gross receipts TO the
Ladies' Temperance Society to aid the
cause of temperance. Why should not
the ladies have a donation as we'll as the

1t can no longer be doubted that the
present is an exceptional season for travel.
A goodly number from this state have been
west the present spring and summer, some
having been and returned, while others
are still on their travels. Just now, por-
tons of our own state seem especially at
tractive to one or more individuals, more
particularly to one or two gentlemen who
have been obliged to spend considerable
portion of their time in the eneryating
climate of the south.
1t is quite noticeable that the first and
second congressional districts are being
utilized by at least two prominent person
ages as very desirable localities for mid
summer resorts.
And then, how very handy il is for the
before mentioned individuals to visit the
''dear people" at their daily ayocations, to
ascertain their wants, to see il some special
labor cannot benefit 'the honest yeomanry

Mr.. King was member of the senate

sheriff are the present incumbents of those
offices; nominations for assistant judges
and high bailiff are new.
The convention was largely attended
and entirely harmonious in its action.
