Sudden Death of Capt Tom Rhodes.
At o'clock Wednesday morning, Au-
gust 4, Capt Thomas b. Rhodes died at
his rooms at the. Everett House, in st,
Louis. His health had been poor for
few years past, but still he was able, all
the time, to attend to business. On the
morning of his death he ate his usual
breakfast. with his wife, at the public ia
Bile, after which he went to his room. In
few moments he said he did not feel well
and he would lie down for awhile. He
laid down upon the bed in his room. and
Mrs, Rhodes started to get something for
him, when he said, MA am afraid l am
going to die" Mrs. Rhodes Immediately
returned to his side and he was dead
Capt. Rhodes was we'll known in every
river town from st. Louis to st. Paul, He
and Capt, james Ward we're the only
presidents of the old Northern Line Co.
Capt. Ward being the first president.
Tom Rhodes was as familiar name to
all business men in the river towns as any
man in the land, and his word was always
as good as his bond. He was an upright,
honorable, frst-class business man, and
will be much missed by great many peo-
lple, His age was about So. His home
was at Savanna, above us, on the river,
and his remains will pass through this city
tomorrow morning, for Savanna, accom-.
companied by his widow and his son.
Capt. John Rhodes, his brother, has been
notified to meet them at Savanna,

The Burlington Gazette charges that the
United States steamer Montana was
brought down from st. Paul to Rock ISL
and for the sole purpose of giving Con-
gresham Hawley and Col Macomb free
excursion ride to Montrose, the cost to the
government of said free ride being several
thousand dollars. Dem.
The Gazette is unnecessarily ignorant
or malicious. The steamer Montana is
owned, differed, provisioned and run by
the United States government, in the Mis-
sissippi river improvement service, and
goes wherever she is ordered by Col. Ma
comb, who has charge of that service in the
the upper river. Her officers and crew
are paid salary, and the boat must be
kept in the service during the season
wherever needed. As far as expense is
concerned, she costs the United States JUS
as much lying at the dock as when running
on the river.
On the 29th ult, Col Macomb started
on business trip to the lower rapids, anc

Salarygrabber Randalrs Game o
Bluff.

Mr.. Sam, Salarygrabber Randall of Pa.
is playing nice little game of bluff, to win
the speakership of the next house of rep
resentatives. He has recently caused tel
egrams to be sent off to all the newspapers
declaring that he has 100 members pledged
to his support. There is not one word of
truth in the assertion. Salarygrabber
Randall cannot carry all the Democratic
members in his own state, and he has not
20 members outside of his state pledged
to his support. His little game of bluff is
fully understood. and is estimated for Just
exactly what it is worth.
Of course the Republicans are anxious
that some salarygrabber shall be chosen
speaker Of Democratic house, and all
their papers eagerly grab at Randall's
Dragging, telegram and give it prominence
in their columns. That is easily enough
understood. Republican newspapers also
put in soft word of encouragement for
Salarygrabber Randall, once in awhile,
thus showing which way the wind blows
in their quarter. Here is one such from
the Inter Ocean of yesterday as follows:
Sam Raudall's friends have carefully avoided
committing him to any issue or principle in can
wasting the speakership's chances. He Is making
the rum he modestly states solely on his person
asqualifcaiions for the position.
1t is easy enough to perceive why Re
publicans and Republican newspapers
should desire that the Democrats should
choose salarygrabber,- but how on earth
any sensible Democrat OF Democratic
newspaper can be so stupid and blind as to
encourage the candidacy of such men as
''Fernandywud'' or Salarygrabber Ran
dali sis what no fellah can find out" The
influence that the choice of speaker will
have upon the next presidential election is
past calculation, and the power the oocu
pant of the speakers chair will have in
shaping committees and legislation had
better be considered by our new members
before they commit themselves to any sal
arygrabber for speaker.
By all odds, the best man for the place
is Hon. S. s. Cox, of New York, unles:
the west wants to give New York the mex
candidate for president-and get whipped
Mr.. Cox is absolutely invulnsrable from at
tacks by the Republicans; he will give
better satisfaction to the farmers and In
dependents than any other man; his PR
vate character is without blemish; hi
integrity cannot be impt ached or doubted
his sixteen years experience in congress
has made him one of the very best parlia
mentarians in that body, and his persona
popularity with the Republicans as well a
the Democrats make him peculiarly &C
ceptable to ALL From what we hear W
should say that his chances for the speak
ership are better than those of any othe
man, and we think the Democrats wi
make great mistake if they elect an
other man.

Some weeks ago the Rock Island AR
Gus Dem. J, suggested the name of Hon.
John B, Hawley. of that city, as the Re-
publican candidate for the governOrship.
Several papers in northern Illinois took up
the matter, speaking in highly favorable
terms of Mr. Hawley Now, however,
comes the Rock Island Union and saws
Mr., Hawley ia not a candidate for the Of
fee, and has not authorized the present:.
ton of his name. The convention and
the party might go further and fare worse
than to take Mr. Hawley. Peoria Tran
script
The Union has no authority for its
statement. That paper is not a-friend of
Mr.. Hawley, or of Mr.. Hawley's friends,
and would rather take a dose of quiniDe
than see Hawley governor. The ARGUS
does not expect to support Mr.. Hawley,
should he be nominated; it only publishes
the fact that Mr., HaWley friends propose
to present his name for the position. Mr..
Hawley may say he is not candidate, if
he likes. That is the course generally
taken, now, by people who want an office.
THE ARGUS suggested what was fact
then, and what is a fact DOW, viz: that Mr..
Hawleys friends talk of presenting his
name as candidate for governor at the
next election.
