Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1888-10-01

UPoN the occasion of the republican
demonstration at Macomb last week.
Congressman Gest telegrsphed the fol
lowing from Washington;
To Private Joe give my warm regards
and 10 all this world this is fight TO save
American civilization from the poverty
and degradation of the old worlds"
This is truly wonderful declaration
and our easy going congressman must
have been considerably sgitated when he
sent the above telegram. The ARGUS is
glad, however, that Mr.. Gest makes st
publicly known that he is uneguivocslly
opposed to any reduction of the war tar
if and that he wants to make the fight on
that issue The principal argument used
in his favor by his republican friends in
this city and county, is that he
is home man" and will do more for
this locality than man in the lower end
of the district This is fallacious idea,
but one that operated pretty successfully
two years ago The emptiness of these
promises is now apparent. The back
pay bill, which he was going to rush
right through is no nearer passage than
ever, and he admitted during his recent
visit TO the city that he couldn't accom-
plish anything in that direction. In the
light of bis subserviency to the tariff
robbers, whereby the rich are made richer
at the expense of the common people, ii
is hardly to be supposed that democrats
and tariff reformers can be inveigled
into voting for Mr.. Gest again this fall
simply because he is "home man"

MOustaches and Beard.iMnst 90

Fashion has declared war against the
moustache and beard Says writer, re-
ferring to the various styles of the sea>
son:
The most notable is the return to the
military regulation of wearing a smooth
face; this will no doubt he hailed with de
light BY those who have been obliged to
spend very valuable portion of their ex.
istence in their efforts 10 train young
and unwilling moustache. The parting of
the hair in the middle will find favor with
the more effeminate of society young
sters, although the side part is recon-
mended as the best style. For middle
aged and elderly gentlemen. the trim
ming of the beard and moustache
a Ia Boulanger will be the only
new style, and is one that will be
eagerly adopted. For this style the beard
must be clipped close on the sides of the
face and allowed to remain long while
tspering to the end of the chin The
pompon, which found much favor few
years ago, may now be INDUCED in by
those whose face does not incline to full
ness. For the pompOn the beard must be
trimmed at least once a week and parted
in the middle and brushed outward
towards the cheeks This improvement,
which cannot be cultivated except by dill
igent brushing and close attention, will
not be assumed by the young men lest
they are bound to be foppish. For head
adornment the head will be kept closely
cut and the circular appearance which
OBTAINS such notice in England will b,
the prevailing style, although many will
still prefer the long, angular lines wnict
are only possible by shaving the neck.

honor to the Democratic nominee for vice

the procession had eountermarchei before
the Thurman residence on Rich street. The
atmosphere was damp and the cold penetrat-

side and his son and grandchildren in the
background, stood on the steps and reviewed
the procession, Then the paraders and the
genera public gathered on the lawn and in
the adjoining street
Silence was secured after some delay, and
Judge Thurman in a firm and strong voice
expressed his thanks for the demonstration
He could not, be said, frame words in which
to express the feelings of his heart 1t was
thirty-tive years since he came TO Columbus,
and knowing, as he did. the fathers and
grandfathers Of many Of those present he
could say that all the people of the city had
been his friends and be was their friend To

middle-aged gave him feeling of satisfac-
ton that he could not express. They were
all right (nrolo .Sed cbeeringl and he hoped
they would continue SO until after the cleo

Judge Thurman concluded amid prolonged
applause by introducing Congressman Outh-

was warmly applauded the general spoke
eloquently to the old soldiers, and feelingly
to the veterans of 40, while he greeted the
German Americans with reference to their
steadfast hess in supporting an honest cur
