lidicules the idea of making Bristow the

ious to see you at Darts Hall, now. The

row on the Western Union railroad. The

The Rev. Thomas X. Beecher, of Ell
mira, New York, in the latest number OF
the Gazette of that city, advises Republi
cans to go over to the Democrats for at
least one campaign, to show the Republl-
can leaders that they cannot safely DEFY
the intelligence, conscience and personal
honor of voters"
On the presidential question ii is quite
evident that the great mass OF delegates
chosen prefer the Hon. James G. Blaine.
This is true CT Cook county, where at least
three-fourths of the delegates selected on
Saturday are for Mr.. Blaine. The pro-
J portion in the whole state is probably still
larger for him.-Iater- Ocean, 22d.
After the st. Louis convention the

dates are in the field

sons, we may remark that the instrument
was placed on the records of Whiteside
county between Thursday evening and
Friday morning last"
THE ARGUS having beaten the Union
in the publication of the B. B. LIS. answer
t to the Robinson bill, that paper takes the
same account published in THE ARGUS,
writes fiat introduction; injects little
dose about the bribery Of newspapers, and
about the imaginary $4,000 Cable-Robin,
son ring; puts on a little wiggling tail at
the end, and tries to palm it off as letter
, from Chicago! That's altogether too thin.
Several Republican newspapers hav.
, ing declared that the Iowa Democratic
state convention refused to make Peter A.
! Dey, of Iowa City, a delegate to St Louis,
because he was hard money 1ilden man,
the Iowa City Press says: Mr. Dey in
stead of being defeated was elected dele
gate and came very near being elected
: twice, receiving such compliment as came
to no other gentleman in the convention. u
Two of the prominent candidates for
nomination on the Republican state ticket
have published cards declaring that they
e are innocent of the charges brought agains,
= them by their political friends. We
! ! havn room to publish the certificates, bu,
it is quite certain that one or the othel
wing of the Republican party is lying
about the matter, and it don't make much
: difference which it is. -Sprnqfeld Regis
