Very Nice Business.

The Union must feel that it is engaged
in pleasant business, and playing delight
full role, when it tries to discourage support
OF the citizens ticket by holding out to the
public the idea that possibly Mr., Reynolds
may be absent from the city on private
business during some portion of the year.
During the year last past Mr.. Reynolds
has been at home for the whole time, and
SO far as any known aud existing engage
meats are concerned is az likely to be at
home during the coming year as he was
during the past. Further, even in the
event of the firm Of which he is memb
obtaining contracts abroad. (for that is
what is really intended by the UniOn) there
is not any danger but that he can give the
duties of his office, if elected, quite as
much attention as mayors of the city
usually Go. Mr.. Reynolds closely super.
vises and attends to the direction and man
agement of his contract work, does it in
person, but it would be an extraordinary
piece of work that would keep him exclu-
sively employed in actual personal super.
vision for such protracted. length OF time
that he could not give as much attention
to the oity's business as is customary and
expected.
The citizens of the city need have nc
fears that Mr.. Reynolds will neglect tc
| attend to the duties Of mayor, if elected,
it Is not characteristic of the man tc
assume duties which be is hot competent
10 perform, or to permit Interests in his
charge to suffer for want of personal
attention.
At this juncture, and under the i'm
pressioDs which the Union is so industri.
ously striving to create, its readers may
well exclaim "Oh, where is Haverstick"
Zone flourish of his trusty cane were
rightly worth thousand umbrellas. u
With all his peculiarities the Captain has
some recognized ideas of political prin.
clple, some notion of consistency, some
recognition of the voice of his immediate
supporters, and an undoubteo regard for
the city's interest and welfare. 1t is not
very creditabIe for the Union, all at once,
to go to nest-hjding" in places it has
heretofore so strongly reprobated and
condemned.

Butler Shows his Hand.

We learn that Mayor Butler is raising
considerable objection to the nomination Of
W, Fl. Lundy for Alderman in the second
ward.
Allow US to ask what special interest
Mayor Butler has in the second ward ?
He has spent all the money he could in the
fourth ward and ought to be satisfied to let
the second ward alone
Or is be mad because Alderman Lundy
made him show his hand in his bond trans
action. If Mayor Butler is doing this sort
of business and trying to bring out re-
publican candidate, it will be an admission
that he has been hurt in his bond trade.
This is the anImus of the Unaon'S oppo-
sition to Mr. LundY,
With Butler and the Union it is anything
to beat Lundy because he has exposed the
mayors bond transactions. Voters of the
End ward will not sustain the Union, not
any to speak of. Is Mr.. johnson going to
allow them to use him for such purpose ?

If there was an honest desire on the part
of the Workingmen's party to have Mr. |
Reynolds their candidate for mayor be-
cause they thought him a suitable and
proper person to FIJI the Office, why should
they refuse to vote for him when the
citizens of all other parties have united
upon him? Is Mr.. Reynolds to day,
any less worthy of their votes than he was
when certain gentlemen were telegraphing
him at Chicago to solicit the use of his
name as the Workingmens candidate?
His sentiments are to-day precisely what
they were at that time Mr. Reynolds is
like the great majority of his fellow citizens
opposed to any legislation, or political
action, which uD;ustly discrimiEates against
labor, be it from whatever source it may
may, or from whatever class of men. 1t
must certainly have been from convic-
| ton Of this fact that such strenuous efforts
were made to induce him to cast his lot
with their organization. Ia becoming the
candidate on the citizens ticket Mr.. Rey-
nolds does not thereby surrender or con-
travene any sentiments or opinions he has
heretofore held or expressed. 1t is mere
| ly this, that instead of committing himself
particular class, he holds himself favor
able to the just interests of all classes. Of
course his special fitness for the Office will
be acknowledged by the workingman as
readily as by the rest of his fellow citizens,
because if he were not competent and
suitable man for the place, why should
they have sought to make him their candi-
date
In the course ola long career as a con-
tractor, and an employer of the laborinG
class the manual labor class especially
there have been many trying times il
which the real man was conspicuously dis
played, and when the employees interests
their wages even, have been protected
secured, and paid over at the sacrifice o
thousands of dollars His action was tina
of right minded honest and honorable
man, who totally disregarded technica
advantages, and paid his men just as b.
agreed. This is not mentioned as havinj
created any special obligation on the par
of any one to vote for Mr.. Reynolds be
cause he has been an honest man, faithful
: in his dealings with his employees; but
does show in a strong light the innat
integrity of the man, his firm and loyal at
tachment to sense of right and justic
! it shows that he is a man that can be re
lied upon in difficulties and embarrass
meuts, and under special temptations, t
do what is right and act honestly-it show
firm and consistent regard for the il
terests of the poorer and humble class {
men, and a conscientious discharge of hi
duties towards them at all times.
IL every sense, and iu every relation
life, and in every position in which he h;
been placed, he has fully exemp!6ed Ii
the conditions of an honest, capable, an
t faithful man. Ii man With such cha
acteristics cannot command the wiIlr
sutfrages of his fellow citizens, and of tho:
whom he has so often befriended, it is US
less to talk further about intelligence, expel
ence, and good sense having anything to
It with the elective franchise.

J ortures that Need not be Endured

fortunes that Need not be Endured.
People suffer great deal Of pain TN
necessarily. Among torturesltlIat need
not be endured are those inflicted by
the rheumatism and govt, since the
acrid element in the blood which pro
duces them by contact with the SEN
sitive covering of the muscles and joints
may be eliminated by the use Of that
matchless depurent, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, before the infamatory
symptoms are developed TO any great
extent. When it is considered what
excruciating tortures rheumatism in
tlicts, and what a tendency it has when
fully developed, to attack the heart,
the ACCESSIBILITY of an early use ofsuch
reliable antidOte becomes at once APP
parent The rheumatic virus is expelled
from the blood by the increased action
of the kidneys-which act as strainers
produced by the Bitters, and the sufl-
erer will find. if he uses this supreme
defensive agent, that he will be prot
ected against a,return of the agonizing
complaint. Dyspepsia, fever and ague,
liver and bowel complaints and other
maladies, are also cured by this adml-
rable remedy.

Pity the sorrows of a poor old man.

The editor of "the organ" whom the
workingmen are supporting in style at an
elegant hotel and dressing him in fine
clothes, while perhaps they are complain
ing of hard times, is uneasy because no
one abuses his candidates personally. A
campaign without personal abuse is be-
yond his comprehension. it leaves him too
much time to think how he is stultifying
himself on everything he has ever written
in the last thirty years against secret leag-
uss, in favor of the VIM. NJ. Tweed club
Of which he was a member, in favor OF
capitalists, landed proprietors, coal mine
owners, railroad corporations, and in the
interest of the hard money men OF the
east. So far as the ARGUS is concerned II
has no personal abuse for the candidates
selected for the workingmen's party by the
secret league, nor has it any abuse for the
workingmen who have been duped int
placing the control of their party in the hand
of men who never spent ten consecutive
| hours OF their lives at manual labor or VIII
never had an honesty sympathy for poo
man, but who always toadied to wealth, po
sition and aristocracy. Under other con
ditions THE ARGUS would support these
candidates. as it has in the past supported
laboring men for the same Offices. Blu
having allowed themselves to be nominate
by secret league whose object is to Great
distrust between capital and labor, an
whose further aim is to benefit the leader
of the league, they cannot expect supper
from those who favor the best interest {
the city. This is not contest betwee
the candidates, but it is contest betwee
a secret league and the financial credit (
the city.

Sober him up.

Why don't the leading republicans set up
with the Union until it can see that the
election OF the citizens ticket is for the
best interests of the city. Politically it
don't suit THE ARGUS, but in this contest
politics don't count, don't figure. The
question is shall Isecret political society
control the city.

The Poor.

Again we are reminded that-the poor
we have with us always-Supervisor Aster
has expended during the month of Feb
ruary in relief of the poor of Rock Island
township $373.S5. And the poor are
reminded of their poverty by the Union
parading their names before the public.

Romeo and Juliet to night.
How do they Ike Il.

How DO those citizens Of the republican
party, who signed the call for citizens
meeting, like the course pursued by their
organ in reference to the ticket nominated
at Darts Hall? While the Union professed
to be opposed to placing the finances Of
the city under the control of the dark
lantern league, 1t pursues a course calcu-
lated to encourage the communistic crowd
who compose the league. There is no use
lodging the fact that any encouragement
OF the league is against the best interests
OF the city. Randall the organizer of the
league 10 this city, does not hesitate to say
that there is an "irrepressibe conflict" be-
tween labor and capital, and he will be
here on Monday night to further engender
strife between Workingmen and their
employers. While the men whom the
league have selected and caused to be
nominated by the workingmen' sparty NAV
be good enough men, the success of their
candidacy would be an encouragement of
the secret league. The people of this city
cannot afford to encourage secret order
whose prime object and tendency is to
create dissatisfaction among workingmen
and make trouble between them and their
employers, The issue is fairly and square

oetween the candidates, not as between
pohtlclans or as between parties, but
