A Democratic Club.

The ARGUS would like to see a young
mems democratic club organized in this
city. We believe that such a club could
be easily organized. and when organized
it would do great good to the democratic
party of this city and county. There are
hundreds of young democrats in the city
of Rock Island. They need to be looked
after, Theyare the apple of the eye" tc
the democratic party. In unity there is
strength. With permanent organization
of the young democrats, regular time to
meet and regular place of meeting
where information of a political nature is
always accessible, where plans can bt
matured, the amount of good that can bt
done to the grand old party, is incalcuable
By all means let us have such an organi-
cation, and the sooner an organization il
perfected, the better.

Birthdays Celebrated

SILVIS.
As announced in the ARGUS, yesterday
was the forty third birthday of our worthy
deputy sheriff, T S. Silvis 1t was not
long ago that Sheriff Retickcr passed the
fortieth mile post in life's voyage. Ga
that occasion Deputy Slvis prepared a
grand surprise for him, al Of which was
duly recorded in these columns Such
being the case, the sheriff could not let his
deputys birthday pass pnobservcd, and
consequently that official was rendered a
blowout last night in the form of sur
prise. A large number of his friends were
on hand to celebrate the occasion.
Sharp was taken completely by sur
prise, but sucGumbed to the inevitable
gracefully But his establishment knew
no abounds when Mr.. W. H. Lundy made
a few remarks, closing by handing to
him an elegant gold watch and chain,
which was made as present by his nu-
merous friends. Mr. E. W. Hurst fol
lowed with the presentation of charm,
which caused considerable merriment, as
it was nothing less than vegetable
which, as one of the guests said, might
''turnup" at any moment. Mr.. Sill
Wis kindly thanked his friends
for the very nice present they
had given him. and was highly pleased to
meet so many of his friends on the ami
versary of his birth. The cigars were
passed around, lunch served and a general
good time had until the time for departure
came. when one and all wished the popular
deputy many happy returns of the day.
WEIGH.
Saturday was the forty third birthday OF
Mr.. J w. Welch, the good natured and
popular gentleman with Henry Dart;
Sons. Every one knows that he is a good
democrat, for if he wasn't, he wouldn't be-
chairman of the city committee. But
Notwithstanding his great love for the
party, WEIGH did not attend-as was his
wont-the caucus in the Fifth ward in the
evening. This caused surprise on the par
of his associates in the great cause of de-
mocracy, but his explanation was most
satisfactory, and he escaped without a
censure. 1t happened thus; Befor3 hi
could leave the house after supper, hi'
private domicile was invaded by a small
Amy of friends who had come to cele
bratc his natal day. OF course he put OF
smiling face, and played the host to per
lection, but, We imagine, that under hi
cool exterior, there lurked strong desire
to know what the boys were doing a

Beyond the preadventure of doubt

the protection of an escort is hardly safe

two instances where ladies were wantonly
insulted last Saturday night, and of half
dozen cases on last night These fellows
who hold up the street corners are so low
