Rumored Resignation.

The Gazettee says that 1T is reported
that Mr.. Methuselah Corbett will with
draw bis name as an independent candi-
date for office in favor his competitor This
would be gallant thing for that gentleman
or any other to do"
Mr.. Sturgeon might as we'll withdraw
along with Mr., Corbett for all the good it
will do him to run. 10 the tumbliug up
OF that office, between TilliDgbast, Nc
Farlane and others, it has become pain
fully evident to the ring managers of the
republican party, that just about one half
Of the republicans of the county are willing
to give the girl a chance" The man
who thinks of running against her, under
the circumstances, exhibits very poor
political foresight, "a lack of political
sagacity, and very little hard business
sense-such course is terribly retro
active sometimes on young and ambitious
politician. Better resign Sturgeon before

moved to Rock Island. In June 1867 he
was elected judge of the Sixth judicial
circuit for the term of six years, and re-
elected in 1873, and will probably be
elected as long as he will consent to hold
the Office, as he has the entire confidence
and respect of the bar and the people in
this district. His decisions have almost
invariably been sustained by the higher
courts, while his opinions, here at home,
have come to be accepted as the ultima
tum of law and justice.

Miasma Rendered Power,ess.

The most certain way to render power
less the miasmatic vapors which produce
chills and fever and other malarious dis
orders, is 20 fortify the system against
them with that matchless preventive of
periodic fevers, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, The remedial operation of the Bit
tiers is no less certain than their preventive
effects. and they may be relied upon to
overcome cases of fever and ague which
resist quinine and the mineral remedies of
the pharmacop@ia. Dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, bilious complaints, rheumatic all
ments and general debility, likewise rapid
ly yield to their regulative and tonic in
huence. They are an incacuable blessing
to the weak and nervous Of both sexes, an
excellent family medicine, and the best
safeguard which the traveller or emigrant
can take to an unhealthy climate.

"Our Choice"

What sounds prettier than the words
'our choice'-fur catch words to carry an
election they would surely beat the famous
motto match him" that was hung over
Grants picture in the convention that NOM
mated him. Now let the central commit
tee of the workiDgmen's party get Hodg-
sons picture, in the attitude of calling a
ratification meeting to order, and label it
'our choice" and run him for Judge. He
possesses all the dignity of mien. the
classic features, the pensiVe eye that is in
dicatIve of intense thought; he has never
been an Office seeker, and it would be only
a proper appreciation Of his great efforts
in nursing party through inanitioD, and
protecting it from the Vaccinations of de.
signing politicians. Judge Hodgson is
good. This suggestion is famed full Of
success and THE ARGUS is pleased to be
the first to name the coming man. "Our
choice" is also good.
