Editor u the ArgUs.
Rock ISLAND, H., September IS
A, r. Morgan claims that he left the
pulpit because of i'll health and the fails
ure of his organs of speech. 1t is little
surprising, therefore, that he should talk
out in the open air on a chilly night for
two hours, and ut the same time find his
voice. How strange it is that II man who
is unable TO talk in the service of his God
should find voice to make II
political speech in the open air! There
is a sprit.o misrepresentation DISPLAYED
in the parsons conduct since retiring
from the pulpit" that / had no idea he
possessed before. CHURCH GoER.

BECOMING FRIGHTENED.
The Republicans Attempting 10
Strengthen Former Strong
hnlh

The republicans are showing signs OF
fear in quarters least expected, and
where they generally receive a liberal
vote unsolicited. Last night mass
meeting was held in Franklin square, in
the First ward. There was brass band
present and Boss Wells was running the
concern, of course Alderman Winslow
Howard was called upon to preside, and
he did so.
The parson was introduced and made
a lengthy address. He was pleased 10
see so many out; glad to see the young
people. He wanted the political truth
as well as the christian doctrines planted
early in their minds. He was glad to see
so many ladies present. 1t would be a
sad day for politics when ladies were ex-
cluded from its considerations. He
thought ministers had as much right to
miugle in politics as anybody else, (es =
pecially when he is running for Officer; ;
his whole life had been given up to relig~
ion, and he had also served in the war,
and by his service in the church and in
the battle field. the impression was that
he had right to expect the support of
the people now through their suffrages.
He talked forever an hour in this strain,
attempting to excuse himself for running
for Office and to show why he should be
elected. 1t was speech calculated to
get the first person singular into favor;
self.
There was music by the band and Hon
P. O'Mara was introduced. He endorsed
the sentiments of the parson but failed to
tell what they were, and brought up the
campaign cry of the republican party
that Gest should be elected because he
lives in Rock Island county"
OMara's effort was rubbed in by music
by the band and then Mr.. w. H. Gest
himself was called forth He talked
about having lived in the lower part of
town at one time and therefore ought to
receive the vote of that part of town
He favored protective tariff, internal inns
provement and river improvements,
which included the Hennepin canal and
he was in favor of paying the
laboring men on the island their Just
dues, and after having exhausted all the
sources from which he might expect votes
he retired, the band played a medley,
the lights in the speakers stand were ex-
tinguished and the square was deserted.

THE COE FAIR.
The Usual Fall Exhibits and Large
Attendance--The Races.

| AttendaRce--The Races.
The Coe township fair, held a few
miles back of Port Byron on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of this week,
was success in every way. We copy
che following in regard to it from the
| Globe:
Tuesday, the first day of the Coe fair,
opened up clear and pleasant, and the
usual preparations and entries by compe-
titors in the numerous departments of
stock, farm products, fine arts. manufac-
lures, etc, were continued and complet
ed, and everything was complete.
The morning of the second day was so
fine and promising that everybody, old
and young. large and small, who could
possibly leave their work, found con
veyance and went to the fair. Such
crowd was never seen on the Coe grounds
before. According to The estimates of
those who sold the tickets there must
have been at least 1000 people upon the
grounds. The Countenances of the Off
GERS of the association beamed with JOY
| as they viewed the last multitude assem-
bled in the shady grove, aud fair stock
took a big boom.
1t was noticeable tina: very few were
present from the lower end, which was to
be expected, owing to the reunions ut
and below Rock Island, and the superior
attraction TO the minds of some of such
men as Generals Sherman and Logan.
In the line of amusementS there was
the striking and lifting machines for the
strong man, the target guns for the skill
full, and the canesracks for the boys.
No bowerV was TO be seen, and we were
glad to note its absence, as public
dance in place of this kind is ALWAYS
degrading. In its place was large swing,
with wooden horses and buggy seats to
ride on, which was kept busy the whole
day. many finding amusement therein
who usually INDUCED only in graver
sports. There was no disturbance by
drunkenness or fighting, and the asso>
citation should be congratulated on the
way things were conducted. The balloon
ascension was postponed until lateiu the
afternoon IN hopes the wind would sub
