1t is understood that the Democratic
leaders at their caucus last night fixed upon
MIR. j. B. Danforth. DR.. as the strongest
and most available candidate for mayor. -
Rock Island Union.
Barring his political principles, which
are ultra Bourbon and exceedingly obnox-
ious to the spirit of the times, Col. Dan
forth would make Rock Island most ex-
cellent mayor. Virtually, he has in years
past occupied the position several terms,
and generally speaking his administration
of municipal affairs has been quite salts
factory to the public. Should he conclude
to yield to the solicitations of his numerous
friends and accept the nomination for the
mayoralty we should rather be excused
from betting that he would not be elected

Our Geneseo friend gives the writer Of

him our thanks for his kind words, but we
can not conceive of state of things which
would induce US to become a candidate for

now occupy upon this paper we consider a

Remember.

During The dark and cherries day:
Of the coming winter, when hunger
and cold brood around the hearth
stones, and pinch and chill the
shrinking forms ofwi.e and children,
and even Of strong men, when labor
is unemployed and hunts in vain fol
something to DO, remember then ye
men who voted for Hayes, ofthe good
times that were promised when "hard
money" was to rule and silver was to
jingle in your plethoric purses.
Suffering and want and starvation
will stare the multitude in the face,
and thepeoplc would then gladly vel,
come "greenbacks" as a mcansto pro
cure the necessaries oflife. But they
are to be banished that the Eastern
capitalist may have ''honest money"
though YOU have none. The money
lords of Wall street will laugh at
your calamity and mock when your
fear cometh."
Men who toll! when your wages
cease, and the strong arm becomes
weak, recall the golden promises OF
the Republican leaders and bitterly
lament how egregiously you have
been deceived.-P6rtaaolth Tines.

fhe majority for Hayes and against

tanned 6.OO0 in the county of Cuya-

Two years ago the majority for Gov
error Moves was 2,Gol. There have
been four electios since. The Demo-
Gratis carried them all by majorities
ranging from 500 70 l,200. That
there should be sudden changeirom
500 one way 10 over GOO another is
quite incredible especially when
nearly all the other counties in
Ohio show gains the other way
How it was done was shown BY the
dispatch in the Enquirer ofyesterday
where the Judges OF election in one
ward adjourned their session TO a Ii
quor saloon, refused tocount the votes
in the presence of other parties and
declared majority of l,200, a gain of
SEQ over the last election, when but
1855 votes were given. Of course
this return can not, under any cir
cumstances. be received. 1t Is a
swindle on its face. l. iscontrary to.

all other such returns, Immediately
reiected.-Eag,arer.

Tho Ohio Election.

The Ohio election is disappoint-
mcnt. but not a defeat. 1t is not a
defeat, because the Democracy poll
cd more votes by 10000 than it ever
took to elect a Governor in that State
before. It was not a defeat, because
the victory of the Republican party
was one Of purchase and not of merit.
1t was not defeat, because the bat
tie has not vet been fought, it isoniy
the advance guard that has been driv-
en- in, and every man will be aroused
from his slumbcrs for the great fight
Of 1876.
The purchase of the result in Ohio,
was the one needful event to show
clearly that there is to be struggle
Of life and death between bonds and
labor, between money and the people,
and the latter must and will triumph!
Look around you, men OF our own
region, and see if you are not to-day
working for less wages than you
could get two years ago, If you are
not driving your teams and working
your farms for less than will pay, and
in many cases, for less than vii!
bring sufficient, not to say conafor-
table living to your families. Look
around you, on the other hand, and
see il the non-producer, the bond-hoi-
der, and the national banks, are not
richer, better satisfied, and living
more easily and sumptuously every
day. They can stand it to buy elect
ions, forever. How long can YOU
stand it 10 be bought?

The Washington .&a- Of Monday

The Washington &Gr Of Monday
last, contains synopsis Of the repor:
of Colonies craighill and Albert ofthe
Engineer Corps Of the United States
Army to General Humphreys, the
Chief of their department, setting
forth the needed appropriations for
rivers and harbors in their district,
composed of the States of Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, and West
Virginia and the District Of Column
blu in which report is recommended
among other appropriations "for the
Great Kanawha River. West Virgin
ia, sl,0OQo0o.7
The improvement of the Kanavha
River is under the immediate super
vision Of Colonel Craighill, one Of the
most accomplished gentlemen in his
profession in the country. General
Humphreys, last spring, made a per-
sonal inspection of the river and We
hear was very favorably impressed
with the Valley and its resources and
the necessity Of utilizing its mineral
wealth by affording it easy access to
the markets of the country. The
prospect for this appropriation at
present is very gratifying. chopc
General Humphreys may approve it
in his report to the Secretary Of War,
and that the latter officer may urge
the appropriation in his report to
Congressncxt winter. 1.-THE amount
proposed receives the approval Of
General Humphreys and the Sccre-
tary of War, the active exertions OF
the Senators and Representatives
from this State will be assisted to Sc
cure its passage by Congressman from
indications, most likely with entire
success.-C9atier

ing that ignorance and prejudice

/ It is pretty generally known that
our State contains immense mineral
wealth, which needs only knowledge
and energy to more fully develop and
make valuable to all mankind, III the
progress OF the future. and 4! the
same time lead to a prosperity among
our own people unrxampled. This
can not be successfully produced by
bringing in population that shall
depend upon mere crude knowedgc
and practical work, it becomes 2
blind and uncertain application Of
money and power. We should know,
and the whole public have it in their
power to attain perfect information
as to the soils Of every tract in the
State-surfacc and under stretta-to
such depth as will affect vegetation;
by thorough analysis, accompanied
by clear and expiieiit instructions as
to treatment and adaptation Of cr0p--;;
also noting and analyzing all the
minerals, thoroughly showing their
extent, value location, and facilities
for market. Every river, stream and
valuable spring should be explored
and laid down accurately. The fer
tilizers. peats, mari, rock and all
earthly -deposits should be set forth;
all timber, its quality, value, uses,
and acccsSeS to market should be de-
velopcd. With this information put
before the public, enterprise would
know where to locate itself. what to
do, and where to do it. Where coal
veins could be worked probably,
iron furnaces erected to advantage,
VINEYARDS and orchards planted, !um-
Der taken of, mills erected, sheep
and cattle grown, railroads and COM
mon roads made and improved
The result would be the thrilling OF
