Editor Kennebee Journal:
SIR Mr.. Thomas. j. Lynch, not content
in writing himself down an ass, has in this
weeks issue of the New Age on the ToQus
postmaster. written himself down falsifyer
1t is useless to wade through this long effu-
sion to correct all the Measurements he
makes. His illusions to Col. Smith and
Gen. HYDE show the smallness of his mind:
man who has no better understanding of
the prophecies of life than to write such q
letter as he wrote to the Postmaster General,
and then make it public before the Possmas
ter-General had received it, thereby arraign-
ing him before the country, cannot be expect
ed to do any act becoming gentleman and
man. Mr.. Lynch, in his letter to the New
Age,says: sit is not denied by Mr.. Kirk ofhis
friends that he is bitter republican partisan
and that fact being so well known to all classes
in this section, universal surprise and indig-
nation was manifested when the appointment
was announced Now, Mr.. Editor. will Mr..
Lynch give to the public his definition of Of
fensive partisan? Mr.. Kirk has never voted
since he has been an inmate of the Home.
He has never contributed cent to any po-
litical organization. He has never made a
political speech. He has never attended q
political meeting. He has never written q
political article. and he has never advised
any man how to vote. He was a faithful
soldier, serving all through the war, and lost
his leg upon the field of battle in defence of
his country. Since his nomination as post
master he has filed his bond, which was
signed by some of the leading and prominent
democrats of Augusta. His appointment
gives great satisfaction to the patrons of this
office, his comrades in arms, his companions
of the Soldiers Home.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1885-04-11

The much advertised and supposed ex-
pert roller skater, E. L. Eagleston. of
Wyoming, bearing the emphonious title
of champion of Central Illinois, appeared
at the Rock Island rink last night in a five
mile race with W. A. Knittle. A large
crowd assembled to witness the cyclonic
speed of this king of the rollers. They
went away together on the start with the
Wyoming youth in the lead. He was
loose on his pins, however, and after GO
ing few laps fell over in corner like q
chung of lead. Knittle took good ad>
vantage of this acrobatic feat and shot
ahead at rppid gait. Eagleston kept the
track for little over a mile, but contin-
ued to fall over himself, and finally with
drew. Some Davenport spurters trailed
around after Knittle, who was doing fine
work, making the five miles in 2104.
1t is mystery to the members of the
profession in this city how Eagelston has
carried off the honors in Central Illinois.
as he has hardly ever been beaten down
that way. Knittle can skate all around
him, and he wouldn't be common sport
for some of our young amateurs. If Cen
trail Illinois has no better roller skating
stock than him, they had better keep it to
themselves, and not allow Eagelston to
give them away in the manner he is do
ing. Peoria boasts of prize fighters, base
ballists, poets and politicians. but skaton
rally it is no good

Carse's Administration.

Ex>Mayor Carse thinks it is all right to
give Mayor, Mott credit for his good ad-
ministration, but feels that the ARGUS did
not do him justice in the matter. The
fgures-which were taken from the city
clerks ofiice-show that Mr. Carse's adj
ministrations were very expensive, but it
was not stated the cause for the large out
lay of money. 1t appears that Mr.. Carse
was mayor when the Mississippi got on q
tear, and threatened to wipe us from the
face of the earth. All the laborers that
could be secured were put at work to stem
the flow of waters, and the situation was
very precarious for several days. Mr.
Carse says there were also numerous other
unforeseen events which helped to deplete
the treasury, and on the whole thinks he
was as economical as possible under the
circumstances. This being the case Mr..
Carse need not be ashamed of his record,
but the tax payers hope there will be no
more floods.
