The Reason is a Good oae Now.

Ever since the establishment of the
Arsenal at Rock Island the Republicans
have impressed upon our people the im-
portance of sending a representative to
congress whose views harmonized with
the administration and the majority in
congress. There was a good deal OF
force in the argument, and many men
have voted for Harding, Hawley and
Henderson ON that ground. The argu
ment Is a good one now, and all people
who really wish to forward our local in
terests, should now vote for Durham,
The next administration is to be Demo
cratic; the next secretary of war, will be
Democrat-probably Gen. Mcclellan
the next congress will be Democratic
congress, and Mr.. Henderson can not
nave the influence with the next admins
tration and the next congress that Dun
nam will, therefore all men who feel an
interest in our local matters should work
for Durham, and vote for Durham.
This has been a good argument with
Republicans for the past l6 years-and
now, that there is to be change of admin
istration, it is a good argument for Dun
ham,

The utter recklessness of Blaine since
the exposure of his venality by Muligan
and others, finds forcible example in his
recent vindictive attack upon Judge Cliff
ford of the United States supreme court,
for his action in the Neal Dow case. In
answer to his attempted explanations of
his bold perversions Of truth, Bion Brad
bury, of counsel for the plaintiff in that
case, publishes in the Portland Argus a
plain statement of facts, which conclusive

Murphy and Appropriations.

The Democrats 10 the present house of
representatives, have majority of sixty
one. That majority in the next house
will be reduced, but it cannot and will
not be overcome. For. conceding every
doubtful congressional district to the
Republicans the Democrats will still
have majority of at least seventeen.
Thus the house legislation will be in ex-
elusive control OF the Democrats, and
what the Democrats do not choose 10
grant 10 the way of appropriations and
laws will not be granted This being
true. it becomes the duty and interest of
every citizen OF this congressional district
to take we'll into consideration the fact
that Republican representative from this
district cannot in the very nature OF
things serve them nearly so efficiently as
would Democratic representative. Mr..
Price as Congressman 10 Democratic
house would be unable to obtain any
thing like as large appropriations for
work upon the rivers, upon the arsenal,
upon public buildings. as would Mr.. Muir
ply. This is admitted by candid Repub-
iicans. aud cannot be doubted. Mr.
Murphy has already proven his ability.
disposition and success in advancing the
interests of his district. In congress he
would be one of the most indefatigable at d
persistent prosecutors of the claims Of
this locality. Mr.. Price, on the contrary,
would repel by bis bitter partnership and
arrogant selfshness, and would be re-
| warded with colder Democratic shoulder
than ever Mr.. Tufts was greeted with
Where Mr.. Price could get one dollar u
appropriations. Mr. Murphy could get
FIVE. 1t is therefore to the decided in.
terest of all who are concerned for the ad-
vancement of public works ia this region
to vote for Mr.. Murphy. A Republican
congressman 10 the Rock Island district
and Republican congressman in the
Davenport district have during the past
year been unsuccessful in getting ade
quate appropriations; now try Democrat
10 Democratic house and see if he does
not have ten times the success.-Dave'a-
port Democrat.

Jerry Murphy can do more than Price
in congress for Davenport. Why? d.
you ask2 The hoatse aoiU be democratic
and Price can do nothing. Eth, We Price
dumplins? But then go on with the good
work. Do not stop talking that Price is
just selfish enough for his own interests to
give all to Davenport, and nothing to the
balance of the district. Tn City Times
All true-and the same applies to this
side of the river. Henderson was utterly
unable to convince Republican secretary
of war that Rock Island Arsenal needed
over $4,000, and therefore the DEMO
cratic house appropriated no more. Ii
Henderson could not convince Republican
secretary of war that Rock Island Arsenal
needed no more than was appropriated,
what influence will he be likely to have
with Democratic secretary of war Tilden
is to be our next president, and the next sec
rotary of war will be Democrat-prob-
ably Gen. McClellan-and the bestway to
secure liberal appropriations is TO elect
Durham on this side of the river, and Muir
ply on the Iowa side.

1t is really pititul to think of it. but 1t
seems likely that when Blaine resigned his
seat in congress to escape Proctor Knots
committee. he consigned himself to period
of private life not counted on. Morrill, has
had his eyes opened since the October
elections, and as he sees DO hope of Hayes
being elected, and of his thereby staying
in the cabinet. he has lately announced
himself candidate for re election to the
senate. 1t has thought that Morrill, had
promised to stand out of Blaine's way but
he says be has no idea of sacrificing him
self in that way, and report adds that
he is industriously using all his power of
patronage to secure his election, besides
circulating some interesting documents
that veutilate Baine's bond transactions.
For one reason or another Morrill, seems to
have the most friends in the legislature, so
that the prospect now is that year from

congressman, but plain Mr.. Blaine

Why IL Was Done.
The Davenport Gazette saws:

Itwas outrsgeously az well as radically wrong
In the Democratic house TO refuse Col. Flager the
the work imperatively demanded for the protection
OF the interests OF the government,
And the reason it was done was that
Congressman Henderson, on this side of
the river, and Congressman Tufts, on the
opposite side, with "Old Pap" Price in
Washington to help them, could not con-
vince Republican secretary of war that
anything more than $4,000 was needed.
The Democratic house referred the matter
to the secretary Of war and he reported it
back to congress with his endorsement of
the reduction, as follows:
To the Western Associated Press:
WASHINGTON, May l6.-The secretary
of war has transmitted to the house of
representatives report of the reductions
from the estimates contained in the book
of estimates for the fiscal year ending june
80, 1877. The estimates for thu
Roch; Island and Benicia arsenals As
REDUCED. soiH equal the demand for thu
present uses, sohi1e large additional st,atc
lures for prospective uses sohich mast here
after be made may be safely postponed to
future occasion.
That's what Republican secretary o
war said and Democratic house endorsed
it. Now, if Congressman Henderson ant
"Old Pap" Price could not convince
Republican Secretary of war that NOR
was needed. what On earth is the use in send
ing those two men to congress which wi
be Democratic, or to expect them to inhuenc
an administration which will be Demo
