It Is a Trick--Shake It.

When the so styled Liberal convention
was called at Cincinnati it was to be, so
read the announcements, great indigna-
ton meeting of anti-religionists with the
great Atheist leader, Ingersoll, as the con-
trolling spirit, Politics was to be eschew-
ed entirely, and the objects for which the
convention was called to be the only bust
ness before the delegates. But like any
other set OF Republican managers, the
one great absorbing idea appears to have
been-"How can we best utilize this move
ment to iDjure the Democratic party?'
This was the sole object in calling the con-
vention-at least the leaders so understood
it-and though many of the delegates
went to the convention with true honesty
of purpose, they were small minority
and were powerless to prevent the con-
summation of the desires of the leaders of
the movement. Republicans may seek to
disguise the real purposes of the move
ment, as they did when the greenback
party was organized, but The cloven
foot of Republicanism protrudes
so plainly, that it is safe to
advise Democrats to have nothing
whatever to do with the Ingersoll comedy
in any manner. Democrats have been
led astray for the benefit of the Republi-
can party often enough to profit by the
experience, and ought TO have learned
lesson in prudence before this. Demo-
Gratis, keep aloof from the Ingersoll and
ali other side issues and stand squarely by
your party. We cannot afford to trife
any more, Success must come under the
Democratic banner, and will, too. if the
party is united. but if every new tangled
split is to be fostered by the Democracy
the Republican party will continue to crawl
into power, although minority party in
the country. Bob Ingersoll may be an
enthusiastic Atheist. but he would never
allow his anti-religious views to stand be-
tween him and Republican success. Dem
ocrats, give the Ingersoll movement the
shake, sure.

HTsToRYEoF THE. STATE SEAL
George Harlow's Deeeit and Rascality.

-
On Tuesday when the Hayes party was
to be received at the State capitol, George
Harlow, the secretary of State, caused to
be painted and flung to the breeze the fol-
lowing:i $500
NATIONAL UNIoN-State Sovereignty,
In doing this, George Harlow acted the
scurvy demagogue. George Harlow knew
he was Haunting lie in the faces of the
people: MA@sA&
He knew that the State legend read:
STATE SOVEREIGNTY-National
Union.
George Harlow forged lie which should
consign him to the penitentiary.
And then, when charged with his crime,
he. craven like, tried to put it upon the
shoulders of dead man:
Aud the craven. rotten Springfield
Journal tried the next day to help George
Harlow out of his dirty scrape.
10 the first issue of the Bourbon we
challenged the Republican press of the
State to give history of the State seal.
Four weeks have elapsed and not word
in reply.
Not a Republican editor in Illinois knows
when, where and how the State seal was
adopted;
Not Republican politician in Illinois
knows it.
The State seal was made long before the
Republican party had an existence.
It was made by Democrats, by Wings
and by Federalists.
1t was described to be just what it is at
the head of this paper;
The words State Sovereignty were put
before the words National Union.
aThe Democrats and the Wings believed
in State Sovereignty and the Federalists
believed in a centralized government.
The Democrats and the Federalists
quarreled about THE field'' and the Wings
decided in favor of agriculture" and
commerce"
There was no quarrel as to the words
State Sovereignty. All agreed upon them
And George Harlow lied deliberately
when he transposed the words State Sow
eseignty and National Union.
He says The general assembly author
lied Sharon Tyndall to change the State
seal.
Sharon TyndaIl is dead, and his ghost
still haunts his Republican associates.
Sharon Tyndall cannot answer, but the
Bourbon can.
There is no record anywhere made by
any legislature authorizing Sharon Tyn1all
as secretary of State to make change 10
the State SEAL
We defy George Harlow or any stalwari
editor to find any authorization for this
brutal outrage upon State history and the
people of the State of Illinois
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-10-08

Is it not about time for some other post
master, or revenue agent.or other Republi-
can official in the south to shoot himself
or hire himself shot, so that the outrage
mill may be kept in motion? Here is the
Ohio election in few days, and nothing
startling since Nix tied up his arm at
BIackville. The managers of the outrage
machine are losing valuable time.

Democrats II your hepuDncan nelgh-
bors ask you why you are Democrat tell
them that 3&14
You believe in q government for the
people, of the people and by the people.
That you believe in an indissoluble
union of the states--as sovereign union.
That you believe that. in all matters of
national nature, wherein the honor. pros
perity and credit of the union IS concern
ed, the national government should be the
controlling power,
That you believe that the states have
the exclusive right to control state mat
tiers, according to the state law, and that
in all state matters state law shall be SUI
preme.
That you are opposed to secession, be-
cause it is in conflict with the law of the
sovereign union of states.
That you are opposed to all military
interference at the polls, because you
believe that every citizen should be free to
exercise the elective franchise, untram-
melled by military interference or dicta-
ton; that otherwise elections are farce
and the right Of suffrage a nonentity.
That you are in favor of an impartial
judiciary. believing that only by strictly
non-partisan judges and juries can full and
equal justice before the law be melted out
to all alike-the high. low, rich or poor.
That you believe in the principle of the
greatest good to the greatest number. that
by this means only can every citizen share
equally in the benefits of free republic.
These are some of the principles of
Democracy. and if your Republican cate
chisers ask you to give reasons for the
faith that is in you, let them know. The
stalwart Republicans are not IN har-
mony with these principles, are centralizers
at heart, and in favor ofsthe centreing Of
power in the federal government which
the constitution does not sustain. The
Democratic party is the synonym OF all
that is liberal, and on its platform there
is room for all to Simultaneously, is
in fact, the par y for the people.

The Democratic state convention in Mas
sachusetts was largely attended. and the
enthusiasm among the delegates more
general than in years. A full ticket was
nominated strong resolutions were adopted.
and the platform of 1876 re-affirmed The
action of the Massachusetts Democracy is
worthy of imitation. In the face of almost
certain defeat, the party goes into the con-
test for principles as above all other con-
siderations. It will count in the long run.

stated that over 100000 have been spent

whereby could soften iron at the forge, so that
could work it at q better advantage. This induced
me to make many experiments with different sub
stances which offered the best prospect of success
It was OF one Of these occasions that discovered
the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the
Human System.
had defect in three of my fingers, which were
bent or shnt up In my hand In such manner, by
the CONTRACTION OF THE CORDS, that they were
very troublesome to me in my daily avocation. Il
thought would have my fingers cut of TO get
them out OF the way, have used everything that
offered any hope of relief, but all TO no effect.
Well, say. / was working with Electro Silicon at
the FORGE and OF course could not prevent its COM
ing in contact with my hands.
until one day, wishing to use heavy hammer,
grasped with my crooked hand, and much to my
surprise L found my crooked fingers etra1gnten
out. and had as much use OF them as ever l
could hardly believe my eyes. / showed my
hands to my wife and family, and general re-
joicing was the result.
had a neighbor living about mile from my
shop who had lame knee, caused by the cords
being contracted by rheumatism. / sent him
bottle OF Electro Silicon Lniment, and told MIN 10
use 1t thoroughly. He did SO, and at the end oil
three months he was able to throw aside his cane
1t had worked just as it did in my case producing
perfect cure. gave it to others of my neighbors
and friends, for miles around, who were suffering
from Swelled Limbs, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Stii
JOINTS Burns, etc, all of which it cured without
any trouble Finding that the Electro Silicon Lin
iment would penetrate the ekin of man further
than any other substance, it occurred to me that
1t must be good for the horse, and it has proved
itself one of the very best applications in all ex-
