ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

Failing to make any Roadway against
james z. Mott for mayor in the field of
honorable, open warfare, (the field select
ed by Mr. Mott himself. when the present
campaign opened.) our opponents are
seeking to make friends for their candi
date by asserting that Mr.. Motifs fight is
based upon low license platform and
that he is preaching this doctrine every
where anywhere, in season aud out of
season. AS this is the first time that we
haye heard Mr.. Mott charged with rank
idiocy an ARGUS representative went
this afternoon to that gentleman's
place of business aud asked him to define
his position. Said he, and we want
every citizen of Rock Island to
know it: Il have sufficient confidence in
the good sense of my fellow citizens to
leave the entire matter in their hands. /
have advocated neither high nor low
license. feeling confident that the people
will settle the question for themselves. in
their own good time. and whatever their
decision may be l shall bow to It's justice
and legality, no matter whether it may
conflict with my individual opinion
or not. No, sir, you may declare the
story that am working for either high or
low license an unmitigated falsehood."
This correction made by Mr.. Mott.
comes in good time to Offset the mali
cious longings of a few unprlncipled pc
litical opponents. 1t would be quite as
sensible for some democrat to charge
Mr.. Carse with setting up the pins
for his election on the high
license alley. Both of the can
didates for mayor are before the
people on their respective merits but the
friends of Mr. Mott will not endeaYor to
secure votes for him by misrepresenting
or lying about his opponent. Mr. Motifs
positiue Instructions to his friends are and
ever have been: do all that you can
honOrabty for me. That's all that / can
ask" If a more manly utterance from a
candidate for Office is on record the AR
Gus is in ignorance of it.

8. W. wHEELocK,s MONEY.

One of the most contemplate tricks
known to political chicanery ever at
tempted in Moline came out in all its hid
eousncss to-day. AT meeting of the
Liquor Dealers Protective ASSOCIATION last
night. it was stated by member who
spoke for 4dr Wheelock, that he was
authorized to say that the saloon keepers
could spend all the money they wanted to
insure his election, and he would pay all
bills incurred. The authenticity of this
article can be substantiated by a sworn
affidavit, if needed, deny it if the Wheel
ock crowd darel The people of Moline
will consider and act upon this action in
the manner that it deserves
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1883-04-02
THE REASON WHY.

We are on the eve of one of the most
important and most exciting elections IN
the history of Moline. s. w. Wheelock is
the nominee of the republican convention
for mayor. and e b. Knox has been
selected by the people for the same office.
Some two weeks ago to the satisfaction of
his intimate friends Mr. Wheclock author
lied the republican papers 10 state that he
Gustaf Swensson says that Mr.. Wheeiock
consented to an urgent request from him
to run. Gustaf Swensson, a republican
bolter end sore head. must have consider
able influence with the present mayor
Also Mr.. Wheelotk stated to prominent
saloon keeper in this city that he would
lie bait that they did not bite at. as the
rousing meeting Saturday night bears tcs-
tim0nv to. The caucuses were held and
still Mr. Wheelock was ostensibly not a
candidate nor did he announce himself
until two days before the convention, IN
til he was sure of the nomination, until he
could handicap the public once more. Is
not his action sufficient reason for
defeating him at thei polls tomorrow. If
nothing else s. w. Wheelock has deliber
atelv misstatcd. when he said he would not
under any circumstances he again a candi
date for mayor.

CITY. FINANCES.
Where's that Annual Report!

In very ambiguously worded article
the Union of yesterday endeayors 10 make
it appear that under republican admin
istIation of affairs Rock Island is in an
enviable situation. In order to make this
plain to every tax payer it goes on to say
that ''the waterworks have been put in
such shape that they will pay for them
selves without furtaer resort to taxation"
The ARGUS "moves TO amend" by saying
that the annual water works income is
not yet sufficient to pay tn, interest on
the investment, saying nothing, whatever,
about the payment of necessary running
expenses.
But here's the point that the ARGUS
would like to get at: If our financial
condition Is so wonderfully excellent why
is the annual report of the citys finances
withheld, which by law is required to be
made at least ten days preceding election?
The tax payers have waited patiently till
the very eve of election for peep at this
document which would afford them
much greater degree of satisfaction. Tor
dissatisfaction as the case might be-
than the sweeping statement of the Union
that everything is lovely, etc. If every
thing is all right and if the city finances
have been properly handled as repre-
sentcd by the Union why withhold the re-
port? The fact is that its publication
would make votes innumerahle for Mr.
Mott and his associates. For many
months the ARGUS has vainly sought to
get at this report, but on one pretext or
another its solicitations have been I'M
needed. This is but another reason why
the tax nayers and citizens generally de
mand an immediate change in our city
government

COMPARISON.

Right here in a city OF only ten thou
sand inhabitants we have the same thing
only on a smaller scale. Six years ago
s. w. Wheelock was elected mayor by
majority that ought to thrill any man
with JOY. -Four years ago the people
again called him to the front and in the
face of fierce opposition he was again
honored with the office Two years ago,
with the most formidable opponent
Moline could put against him, viz: c. II.
Deere. he again triumphed, and had
he retired this spring the people
would have said: "Well done thou good
and faithful servant, he would have re-
tired with the respect of all classes, and his
name would have been handed down to
the coming generation in Moline as "A faith
ful servant. But no. he unwisely took
it into his head that he must marry Mo-
line and like Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
have her for bride, bat this time he has
counted without his host His intimate
friends have plead with him not to run
against the wish of the people. Against
the advice of his friends, he poses be
fore the public and ask their support
The people want f. B. Knox-they want a
man of the people, and we miss our guess
if Mr.. Wheelock will not retire and be
excused from duties that are $50 onerous
and troublesome.
