REMARKS BY THE ARGUS.

1.-THE evening paper of Rock Island" is
quite willing that everybody should have
their own opinions in regard to the shoot

what the Moline editor of the Union has to
say on the subject.
But "the evening paper of Rock Island
has word or two to say on the opening
sentence of the above quoted item.-
THE evening paper of Rock Island" has
no hatred of Moline people" in general
on the contrary it has very strong affec-

late city election in that town, Ia majority

to some extent in laying on" that por-
ton of Moline people who pinned their
faith to John Gould's coat sleeve. THE

of manner which turns up its nose and
talks of "thoughtless and less intelligent

Because THE ARGUS, on Saturday even
ing, gave form to the theories of people who
think it impossible for Charlie Wood to
have shot himself, and stated their reasons
for their belief, the Moline editor Of the
Union INDUCES in the following:
st is a matter Of regret that the even
ing paper of Rock Island has seen fit to
carry its hatred of Moline people to the ex-
tent of questioning the evidence adduced
before the coroner's jury and the good
faith of the jury itself, in the late unfOrtu-
nate shooting affair. A few words are
necessary to show that there are no found
atoms for the statements and speculatious

that entered Mr.. Woods forehead did
leave mark-a slight brown discoloration
which was seen by DR.. Dawson before the
cloths soaked with saltpetre water were ap-
piled to keep the face fresh. The saltpetre
removed the discoloration before the In
quest was held. In the second place the
cartridges used in the weapons Of both
men were nearly identical in weight and
appearance, aud both charged with detona.

There has been quite demand for The
WEEKLY ARGUS of the 18th. containing
the excellent speech delivered by Hon. S.
S. Cox, in Hartford Conn.,, previous to the
state election there. That speech was
made for 'the frugal mind and sharp
sense of the Connecticut people" but it is
good for any state or territory in the
United States. where honesty, industry
and economy are appreciated, and it pro-
duced good effect wherever it was heard
or read. MIR. Cox spoke for nearly two
weeks, day and night, in the late Connec-
ticut canvass-with what effect let the
election returns answer. Much credit is
due to him for his labors in that canvass.
To his genius, good sense, intelligence and
hard work are due in great measure the
splendid results of that election.
