Hayes and Wheeler Rally Saturday
Night.

Get your uniforms and torches ready for grand
para Every man should be in the ranks on Sat-
urdaeight By order Ez Con-.
The above appeared prominently in the
Union, local columns) every day last week,
but nobody appeared with torches and no
parade took place. The Union faction of
the Republican party was able to prevent
turnout for their own townsman (Haw
levi when he spoke in Davenport, but was
not able to get out any torches for the An
ti-Hawley Moderwell, who tricked Mr..
Shepherd out of a second nomination.
MODEST MoDERwELL.
Though they could not get out the
torches they got few people into the hall
where slim meeting was held, in which
Moderwell waved the bloody shirt awhile
and then modestly closed as follows:
Take two hundred of the best citizens of Rock ISL
and any other northern town, and ascertain their
political opinions. A hundred and iity w II be
found to be Republicans. Then take two hundred
of the worst, the scoundrels, scaawags dead BEATS
loafers, gamblers and pimps-snd a hundred and
seventy-fve will be found to be Democrats.
The above is taken from the Unions re-
port of Moderwelps speech. If it is re-
ported correctly Moderwell has proven
himself unfit for senator from this dis
trict, and has insulted host of men who
are at least his peers. He seems to be
trying to rival the blackguardism of Bob
Ingersoll, who in his speeches alludes to
one of the great parties in this country as
dirty, lousy Democrats There isn't a
decent man, Republican or Democrat, who
does not think less of Ingersoll or Moder-
we'll for their low, coarse and lying abuse 1t
is beneath the dignity of decent men to in
dulge in such coarse and untruthful lam
guage.
After the blackguardism of Moderwell,
the Union says:
| Hon. E, c. Brearley, of Utah. who. with his wife
is on visit TO her relatives in Davenport and who
| happened to be present, was introduced. Mr. b
| made a short but stirring address.
This Capt. Brearley was formerly Of
Pekin, this state; then of Jacksonville
then he turned Greeleyite and tried tt
get the nomination for congress there il
1872, failing in which he Topped back t.
Grant,an supported him in 1872, and go
an appointment as an assistant in the attor
ney generals department, to do such worl
as required. He is the man who was pub
lished at the beginning of the Babcock tria
as arriving in st. Louis with bar'l O mon

After placing the money where it would
do Babcock the most good, he skipped the

Attempted Burglary.

On Saturday night or on Sunday morn
ing burglars entered the house of Mrs
John Reed, on Second Avenue, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, but
were frightened off. The burglars entered
the bed room of S. 2. Hencha compositor
in this Office, who is boarding there, and
opening a wardrobe took out three or
four suits of clothes and had tied them in
bundle, when they made a noise which
awakened Mr. Hench He sprang from
his bed and attempted to seize one of the
burglars but they turned and fed. Having
no arms with him Mr.. Hench did not
follow them after they left the house.
Upon procuring light and examining the
rooms it was found that the burglars had
intended to make a good haul, as pile of
books were laid on the sofa in the parlor
ready to carry off, and sewing machine
carried to the back hall door. Besides
this number Of books, among them a
bible and prayer book, were found in
the alley and back yard, but this is no
evidence that the burglars were religiously
inclined.
Should they make another visit to this
house they will receive aoarm reception
in the way of cold lead.
They obtained an entrance through a
back window,

In Rock Island, when a poor devil
gets caught in house of i'll fame, late at
night, the police lock him up, and, next
day, bring him iuto court, where he can be
seen, and fine him,-but when nobby
young bucks get caught in the same way,
the court gets out of bed, enters false
names on his record. names he knows to
be false, and the marshal does the same
thing, and both conniye to shield the
guilty from exposure. Is this even
handed justice? Is this enforcing the
law impartially? Are such men fit for
executive or judicial positions? Are they
bribed to shield the guilty?

THE GRAND UNIoN.-New York
This hotel has gained wide popularity
both on account of its eligible situation-it
being directly opposite the Grand Central
Depot-and the excellent manner in which
it is kept. By stopping at this house,
guests save the heavy expense OF carriage
hire and expressage, baggage being carried
to and from the depot without charge. 1t
is first class 10 every respect, and yet the
rates of charges are lower than at any
other first class house in the city. 1t is
conducted upon the European plan.

"No Dutch or Irish Wanted"

To the Editors of The Argus
The following article appeared in the
Union on Sunday:
This is a free country No man need come here
If he don't want to- and II things don't suit him he
needn't stay s IN oaa tas's ahy 70
system of government and keep telling how much
better all official business Is done in the old coun
men 90 where public affairs are more to their
liking This country can get along without them
They are under obligations to stay here, and IN
fact no person wants them to stay.
We know exactly whom the Assistant
Postmaster" means with that article, VIZ:
the Germans. Certainly this is "a free
country where everybody has a right to
give vent to his own views. and it they
come here they have right and are
bound to compare things pertaining to
everything. In consequence, if they find
that the government here is carried on
corruptly, they have right to sneak about
it, and speak much about it so that it may
be changed.
AS to the statement that nobody wants
such persons to stay here, beg to differ.
| The Assistant Postmaster" under the
corrupt Republican rule, certainly does
not want such people to stay here, In iac'
would like to have them all going away
have them put down, all in good Know
nothing" style. although he himself ha'
German blood in his veins, as his parents
were Dutch"
One word for conclusion: Where
would this country be if foreigners hat
not emigrated and settled all over thu
west? We think the editor of the Union
would not be Assistant Postmaster to
day, if this was not the case. Who tough
