The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-10-28

The most important political contest OF
che year is that which occurs in New York
on Tuesday next The parties are divided
ON local issues and it is hard to forecast
the result. which will probably be very
close. While, as rule very little is to be ex-
pected from Republican scratching, it has
resolved into organized effort in New York
and regular clubs of 'scratchers" are IN
existence all over the state. Even though
the number be small in each precinct, in
the aggregate It will swell to thousands,
and much as the Republicans seek to de-
ride the move, it is clearly evident
that il causes uneasiness in the stall
wart camp. Well informed mer
of both parties concede that
that Kelly's vote will be smaller than was
anticipated and will in great measure be
offset by Robinson gains in the rural dis
tricts. IF Robinson succeeds in the face
of the tremendous odds against him, il
viii be the grandest Democrats victory on
record. IL will, in fact, make New York
impreguably Democratic. But suppose
Robinson be defeated and the balance oil
the Democratic ticket is elected, can the
Republicans claim a victory? Will it NOT
show that. while Tammany Democrats
oppose Robinson. they are still for Dem
ocracy as party. and would support the
presidential nominee in 1880? lr
order to have any effect or
Republican prospects, the vic
tory on the part of the Republicans
must be complete-Cornell's election viii
not suffice. With the Democracy it il
different. We can lose Robinson, and, Il
the remainder of the Democratic ticket be
elected, will be unframed, It will have
resolved itself into a personal vietory-not
a political triumph. Robinson's friends
claim his election in any event, and are
even so far confident as to place his major
ity over Cornell at 40 900. This is un.
doubtedly an over sanguine estimate, and
hardly based on actual information. Il
Robinson is elected by even small PLUG
atty it will be glorious Democratic vic
tory. 1t is all that can reasonably
be expected-all that can possibly be &c
omplished

The prospects for Butler in Massachu
sets are far from fattering, What he con
temptuously calls the blue blood anG
gold buckled Democracy" is gaining
strength every day, and will poll larger
vote than he or his friends anticipate.
Besides, many Republicans who supported
him last year will not do so this time and
as. without liberal Republican following,
he cannot be elected, he is doomed TO
defeat. Butlerism in Massachusetts il

One of the peeuliarities of the aged
editor of the Organ is to claim as nation
ais those who lean toward liberal fnan-
cial policy, His last exploit is to claim
Ewing of Ohio. Saunders Fiatt, the
greenback candidate for governor OF thai
state was SO ingloriously beaten, polling
only 5000 votes out of total vote of Dearly
100000, that tie Organ must give some
consolation to his followers so he claim:

The purpose of the leaders of the re-
publican party to deprive the people of all
rights and TO consolidate all power in the
hands of the federal authorities, is NOT
only apparent, but is by these leaders
avowed and defended. The right of the
people to hold FREQ elections, conducted
by officers chosen Immediately by the peo-
pie; the right to trial by a jury drawn
from the whole body of the vicinage: the
right to Withhold supplies from the execu-
tive until grievances are redressed, and
the right to control the coinage and cur
rency, are among the rights which our
forefaihers achieved by conquest centur-
les ago, and which are solemnIy rsafirmed

ridiculed and abused General Cary for
embracing the Democratic faith, are just
now biting their nails and mentally cursiDg

evidently on top. He saw beyond his

called Democrat.

The Union at last reluctantly admits
that the greenbsek national party is dead

much for stalwartism.

Occupying a Treasury Stnec,sre.
For months the languid Agnes jerks has
walked easily about the national ca. ltal,
with all the ease and apparent leisure of q
child of fortune. Dressed in black, with q
bunch of flowers at her throat, behind q
huge dark Japanese fan, she has been, during
last session, one of the most eager listeners
to the small details of the most trivial de-
bates. 1t was generally understood that John
Sherman was the substantial source of supply
for her elegant needs; but the exact manner
of it has not been known. It was under
stood at the treasury department. that she
was upon its rolls, but az she never appeared
there to do any work this was not very GER
tain. A department. clerk, in card to q
Washington morning paper, clears up the
mystery as follows:
1t may be news to our numerous readers
that Agnes jerks, the female from Louisiana
whose capacity for perjury was 80 signally
exhibited by the examination of Gen. Butler
during the Potter committee investigation
of the Presidential steal, holds sinecure
position under John Sherman in the treasury
department building, which pays her 81, 800
per annum. Any day she can be seen faun-
ting up and down the principal corridors of
the treasury building. Occasionally she
visits Secretary Carl Schurz, by whom she is
received with seeming delight and friendli-
ness. Evidently John Sherman was afraid
that Agnes jerks would make an affidavit
that she perjured herself when she testified
that she dictated the letter that John Sher-
man undoubtedly wrote to Weber
and Anderson; hence the $1,000 per
annum sinecure. Sherman has made the
treasury q refuge and place of reward for
nearly all the scoundrels who assisted him to
steal the presidency. Even telegraph oper-
ators who transmitted and received crimi-
nal messages that passed between Republican
managers and their agents in South Caro-
lima, Florida, Louisiana and Oregon, during
the period between November 1876, an0

Europe-are to be seen there, in possession
If places intended to paddock their mouths
and paralyze their memories in the event of
their being required to testify before an in
vestigating committee of Congress, but the
presence of Agnes jerks was necessary to
make the disgusting spectacle complete. Yet

the Republican Presidential candidate in
1880. A REPUBLICAN.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 10, 1879.-SR
The New York St1r has earned the friend
ship of every American who loves honesty
and freedom, by the energy and thorough
ness wherewith it has laid before the public
the results of the tr easury investigation. So
fan as it goes your synopsis of the commit
tees report, barring the sew errors insepera-
BILE from condensation and haste, is remark
ably clear and precise. The report itself is
heartily at your service, and the public will
be pleased to learn it's contents through your
columns.
Let me say regarding the foolish charge
that the report is "partis am document,
that it merely recites the facts shown by the
Evidence, as will appear when it is printed
in full; and that no minority report was
presented or proposed. So that the report
is practically unanimous. Cordially yours,

will do themselves credit by demanding with
q united voice that the ssreport and evidence"
shall be presented by the House of Repre-
sentatives, on the reassembllng of Congress,
when it will be seen that the report is sus-
tanned By the euSdence. j. M. q.
