Consolation.

The terrible state of mind into which |
the incompetent editor of the Union has
been thrown by the fact that he did not
succeed in handing the city over to the
Organs" secret league, and his consequent
failure TO cajole the council into making the
Union the official paper Of the city, as it
had been up to the time it showed such
Iamentable signs of mental alteration and
maudling political imbecillity, induces us
to ask all goodlcitizens to. join with The
ARGUS 10 trying to soothe the troubled
breast, clear up the elouded intellect and
renew that once brilliant Journal to man
hoods high estate, by recalling some of the
great achievements of the republican party
which it used to advocate before that pa
per reached its present deplorable condi-
tion-that of drawing its inspiration from
the second hand intellect that runs the
Organ" across the alley. To do this most
effectualIy we charged it with advocating the
passage of the joint-resolution of 1869,
declaring that the 500 bonds which are
payable in greenbacks should be paid in
coin
We charge it with advocating the enac-
ting of the national bank law
We charge it with favoring the resump-
ton law
We charge it with advocating the con-
traction of currency
We charge it with supporting party
that has squandered the public domain
We charge it with party responsibility
10 the Credit Mobilier Swindle.
We charge it with demonetizing the
silver dollar.
We charge it with frauds in custom houses
and other frauds.
We charge its candidates with reckless
extravaganza in the use of the public funds.
And, finally, we charge the republican
party with the responsibility of placing
Rutherford B. Hayes 10 the presidential
Office to which he had not been elected
thereby overriding the will of the sovereign
people as expressed through the ballot box
this infamy being accomplished by the aid
of corrupt and perjured returning board
officials, some ofwhom have in consequence
of that very crime, been sentenced to TIT
penitentiary; and it is to be hoped tina
the balance of them may soon follow. Ant
now we hope that in consequence of con
tempating the beauties of these things tn
Union may find consolation and rest from
the disreputable business of slanderin
an Alderman who did not vote as
wished him to vote.

The City Election.

In consequence OF the Ill 1eeiiDg occa-
stoned by the citizens ticket in the recent
township election, and the immense amount
of loud talking and told you SOS " by
those who haven't the capacity, influence,
or energy TO do anything themselves, and
are always mad because anyone else does,
it is now certain that there will be three
straight tickets in the field at the city cleo
ton to be held on the 10th inst.
The republicans have already issued
their call for ward and city caucuses and
| the democrats will be out with theirs 10 a
few days. And, in this connection, let the
democrats look at the situation and see
how much more favorably they are situated
in Moline than ever before. The republi-
can ring is broken and they can no longer
dictate as the fancy takes them who shall
hold the city Offices. They are dead,
as is also their national ring
which has controlled the government for
the past Is years, and cow the signs are
propitous for vigorous, united and sue
cessful strike of the democracy, Will the
democrats who have fought their opponents
for years, in the darkest days when success
was farthest from them, now step down
and out just as victory is ready to crown
their efforts, and let an opposing element
occupy the field, claim the glory, and en-
Joy the reward2 Such course would bt
folly and would deserve the censure o.
reasonable people. By united effor
the democracy Of Moline can poll vot,
they need not blush at, and in all proba
bility can elect one, and possibly tw,
aldermen. They can at least keep VI
their organization and show the self-sum
Gent republicans that their strength is no
so despicable as some of them have init
mated. Let the democratic city centra
committee issue its call for straight eau
Gus and the ward committees follow
succeeding the call by judicious nomina
tons and consistent vigorous work, ant
the result is sure to be to the honor of tL
party.
