The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-10-23

Capt. John A. Fish, and some other
kindred sports availed themselves OF the
beautiful weather yesterday, and took inthe
Meredosia. They had lots of fun, but re-
port game scarce. .-s&sA S=&
VIM. Calentzky, will take q benefit at
Reeses Hall, tomorrow evening, under
the auspices of the German Theatrical
Company. A number of tickets have
been sold, and good house will no doubt
greet the beneficiary on that occasion.
THE ARGUS last evening announced,
that there would be q caucus at the en-
CINE house, to night. 1t should have been
Thursday, Oct. 28th. instead. The item
was founded on what was supposed to be
reliable information, and not from desire
to interfere with the regular caucus, as Mr..
Grantz, seems to imagine,
The Moline Gun Club, have received
challenge to shoot against the Cleveland
Club, the match to be held at some point
to be hereafter determined, possibly, Cleue-
land. Owing to the scarity of birds, it is
| impossible to state when the match will
occur. The same rules that governed the
opposing clubs in the last contest will be
observed in this one, although, it is not
probable that more than five on each side
will participate. 1t is hoped our crack
shots will 20 in and win. The illness of
John A. Healey will be a severe loss to
the Molineites. He is one of our best
shots. ~ea
The importance of electing an alderman
for the Third ward who will be in harmony
with the people as against moneyed mon
opolles, should ensure care in the selection
of IA candidate. THE ARGUS has nothing
to say against Chas. Z, Hemenway per
sonally, but it asserts that he will be IN
huenced in his course, by the wealthy
clique with whom he fraternizes. The
city of Moline. has been ruled for years
by this handful of dictators and, unless tht
people awaken to the necessity for con
: certed action, they may expect to have ;
continuation of aristocratic control. They
know the monopoly element has ruled lonl
enough, and the people, who have born
the burden so long, begin to feel the nee
essity for throwing aside the yoke tina
. has so long held them chained in politica
bondage. 1t is time for a change, ant
unless the signs fail, the triumph of equa
rights is assured beyond question.
