The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1876-06-29

After quoting an article from the An
siger DIES Westerns, of st. Louis, the Stats
Zeitung says;
Enough. All that is known of Hayes
points to the fact that there can be no talk
about real honest enthusiasm. With
those who, as party tools, are subservient
to the laws Of discipline. that artificial en-
thusiasm will be created which consists in
deafening cheering and hurrahing, and
nothing else; but the Independent thinking
men will remain very cool and before all
things will wait and see whom the demo-
cratic national convention will nominate.
If it is a man like Hendricks or Allen, then
they will prefer Hayes; but should the
democrats be sensible enough to nominate
Tilden, then we would advise no one TO bet
a nickle on the election of Hayes for the
number of independent men who. though
they would vote against every other Dem
ocratic candidate than Tilden, and for
Hayes, but would vote for Tilden, is very
large, especially among the Germans in
those western states in which the German
voters have the balance of power.
The hind legs Of the republican ticket
are a little stronger than the front legs.
The candidate for vice president has GER
tain national reputation as the author Of the
compromise between the Republicans and
Democrats in Louisiana, through which
the peace, at least scantily, was again re-
stored in that state

Carrying Elections by the Bayonet.

We learn on responsible authority that
an arrangement has been completed by
which, couple of months hence. when
the political campign gets hot in the
southwest, Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan will take
the active command of the troops there,
With his headquarters at New Orleans.
This arrangement, as we are assured, is
made with the appreciation of Sheridan,
who enters heartily into tie idea. He
must naturally relish the work Of deci-
sivcly crushing the class Of citizens whom
he Cnce denounced as banditti because
they would not look tamely on while the
LOUISIANA carpet-Uaggers stuffed the bal
lot boxes with fraudulent votes, and threw
out legal votes, and tried to cover the ras-
cality with forged af1davits.
The Intervention by the bayonet in the
southern elections has been so emphatic
ally repudiated by the sober sense of the
country that We can hardly believe that
Grants administration will dare to revive
it; and we should not credit the report
did it not come to us from a very credible
source. But however this may be, it is
always pr, per to declare that an attempt
to carry the reconstructed states for the
Republicans at the point of the bayonet
will recoil upon the conspirators They
might succeed by force and fraud in secur.
ing two or three close states; but for every
one thus obtained in the south they would
lose two elsewhere. N. y. Sun,

Alter giving history OF Hayes life and
services, the Stats ZeituHg goes on us fol-
lows:
General member Of convressl-poyer-

very well But in none Ct these positions
has Hayes earned Il reputation which pen
etrated far over the borders OF Ohio. Gen.
erals like him other states have by the do
zens; members of congress Of his kind it
takes sixty to make n bushcl, and as re.
CARDS the position of governor, it is only
necessary to say that it amounts to hardly
more than counselor of commerce in Ger
many, Tor the governor has not even the
right OF veto, aud the only way in which he
can make show is as a wholesale pardon

Hayes we have to seek the aid of reliable
authority from Ohio. Mr. FIR. Hassaurek
must be looked upon as such. A few DAYS
