More Robbery.

Under the above caption the New York
World of the 9Th t.has an article on the
election in New York. 1t shows to what
desperate straits tho Republicans are
pushed and further proves that the same
Infamous tactics which gave Hayes his
seat IN 1876, wneo another was elected,
are to be employed on a smaller scale to
count in" the de feated Republican state
Of: GERS in New York in place of the Dem
ocratc candidates who arc honestly elected.
Following is the article:
1t was perfectly we'll known on w ednes
day morning that Mr.. Potter and the
whole democratic state ticket, except

state committee thercupon disbanded
The republican state committee thereupon

allied Tammany~re publican canvass that
the performance might be Initiated on a
small scale in this state. They made
mistake in the start in not claiming"
on Wednesday morning, no matter how
badly they were beaten, But as Mr. j
Madison Wells observed in 1876, il is a
difficult thing to white down a majority
of $4,000. Since Boss Arthur,aud Cornell
and Bliss and Davenport have fairly got
to work. however, in their capacity Of
returning board. they bid flair to equal the
achievement of Wells and Casanave and
kenner and Anderson. Ever since they
began, corrected returns have been con-
ing in from republican counties, and from
the county of New York, where they could

this way Lewis kept on denying and

oughly bothered that he did not seem to
know whether he was ION foot

Mr. jackson said that's all''-aud Stur-

allowed to leave the stand. The court
then adjourned until 1870 this afternoon.
The case exciies considerable interest

This afternoon the case was continued
and several Witnesses examined. The

Considerable sparring was INDUCED in

it looks just now as if the prosecution were

Editor Argus
From the way the Union proceeds to
lecture our aldermen and point them the
way of procedure, one would naturally
suppose that the Union has assumed a
self appointed eonseFvatorship over the
city-that the aldermen were all lgnora-
muses.. and the people were bat little better.
The Union talked general incorporation
aud it's advantages to the city before elee
tion-bnt row the tone is different. 1t is
not so much ''the advantages to the city
but the advantages to the Republican par
ty. Does the Uniou favor the foundation
of city political ring? 1t looks as if such
were the intention if the proposed plan of
redestrioting the city be adopted,

A PASTORAL Call.

Few OF our cHUFcu SofuS pSopiS 49,
have heard Rev. j. g. Merrill OF the
Davenport Congregational church. and
none among that number but will agree
that he is one of the ablest divines in this
vicinity. He has worked early and late,
yea lousy and perslstently for his congre-
CATION for eight years, during which time
the debt on the church has been raised.
and the society placed on sound financial
footing. He has had, during his pastoral
term in Davenport, many calls to other
places but has declined them all, but now
comes one from Oak Park. beautiful
suburban town seven miles from Chicago,
which is Sc. fattering that it is feared MIR.
Merrill will accept. The Democrat pays
him high tribute and says ut cannot be
said that be intends accepting it; it can
not be said that he intends not to accept
| it, In fact if he were inclined to say yes
the matter would have to be referred TO
church council. We believe, however,
that Mr. Merrill thinks that Oak Park
will afford him an opportunity to do more
good in the hne of his makeup" than
Davenport does.
Oak Park is, ia many respects, the most
desirable suburb of Chicago The church
which has called Mr.. Merrill is only nine
years Old. and is growing very rapidly.
The society is composed, largely, of bust
ness men whose days are spent in stores

harmonious and happy through his talents
as preacher, his off ces as pastor.
Marked ability ia the pulpit is rarely Sec
oDded by graces as a pastor, but Mr.. Mer-
rill posse sses all these requisites. Never
was a pastor loved to greater degree
than be is loved by his people here; and
his friends outside his church are numer-
Gus, almost, as the townspeople.
/ Looking the ground all over, it is be
lieged By some of MIR. Merri!rs warmes,
friends that he will accept the call from
Oak Park--aud he will probably preach
his farewell sermon ip Davenport along iu

Should Mr. Merrill conclude to accept
the Oak Park call, Davenport wit lose a

LiverSConp1aint.

This disease may be said to proceed almost in
yariably from the stomach being out of order IN
the first place. By the stomach being out OF
order, ethe blood also gets out OF order,
and why? All the blood the hu-
man body passes through the liver every few min
utes to have the bilious Incorporated from 1t.
II there beany scrofulous faint or other 1mpurity
IN the blood, 1t will surely be deposited IN the liver
along with tho bile BY and by, however, these
Impurities increasing, will render the blood
watery, and render its motion torpid; then 1t vii

Only poison will be left in the liver and the result
will be an obstructed, inflamed and swollen liver

climax, as proven by facts The symptoms CROWD
