Dr. Browns Farewell.

Rev. DR.. John H. Brown preached
his final sermon to the congregation of
the United Presbyterian church last even
ing. 1t was not farewell sermon in
nature-simply one of bis ordinary logi>
cal discourses and the only alusion to
the occasion was made when he declared
the pulpit vacant by authority of the
Rock Island Presbytery, which had
previously relieved him of his charge
here
The following resolution has been
adopted by the church board relative to
DR.. Brown:
WHEREAS, Our pastor, DR.. ]. H.
Brown, has resigned the pastorate of this
church,
ResolDed, That we in concurring in this
request, take pleasure in bearing testi-
mony to his sterling qualities as minis
ter of the gospel and his conscientious
advocacy of the doctrines of christianity
We express the hope that God has many
years of usefulness for him, and that he
and his family may receive the tempora
and spiritual gifts awarded the faithful.
DR.. Brown leaves Wednesday night fol
Colorado Springs, where he breaches
until spring, his family remaining il
Rock Island meanwhile.
The congregation Of the U. P. churcl
has not yet decided upon DR.. Brown
successor. Rev. DR.. Reynolds, the for
mer beloved pastor, will be in Rock ISLAM

The opp osing elements in the Union
Office let their conflicting senti ments get
into print yesterday morning. On one
page of the sheet the more manly instinct
prevailed and a contradiction was made
of the unjust and false accusation made
Saturday morning that the ARGUS had
been among the papers that stopped so
low as to cast reflection in word or infer
ence upon the domestic affairs of Mr..
Gest, much less upon his venerable and
highly esteemed mother. Yet upon an
other page the low and cowardly instincts
of another editor find play in reaffirma
ton of the base, contemplate and cow
ardly charge which the ARGUS stamped
Saturday as a lie, and the man who made
it with pen or tongue as an unmsnly liar
and which is now reiterated. 1t is to be
hoped that after election is over the in
ternsl dissensions in the Union Office may
eliminate in the more manly faction gain
ing supremacy.

The following letter to the public and
to railroad men was sent out by James
LESSEE, of Aurora. Wednesday:
"The letter in the Chicago Tribune of
Oct. 80, 1888, is entirely false and re.
ceives my utmost condemnation. Divl-
sion 80, Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, located at Aurora, has never
meddled in politics, and know whereof
l speak. The railroad movement in be-
half of Palmer by the railroad men does
not meet with my appreciation, and am
not slow in expressing it; neither are the
other four men who signed with me the
letter telling the men of Illinois to beware
of Gen. Palmer Division 80 or any OF
the railroad orders have nothing to dc
with politics, and my letter was simply
written from an individual standpoint
and pronounce that part of the letter
which appeared in yesterdays Tribun,
relating to division 80, Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, as entirely false
and without authority"

WHY HE'S FOR REFORM.
Aid. Howard Makes q Manly Defence
OF HIS Position-Shamefui Attempts
to Resent His Change Of Views.

Editor ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND, Nov. 5.-Upon my arri-
val home Saturday, found in the Union
some letters referring to me. l suppose
a man has right to change his way of
voting in this country according to his
best judgment witho ut being bounded to
death. II my letter in the ARGUS of the
LIST made me q "know-nothing," then
am one. Otherwise l am not. As to
the running or starving of foreigners out
of this country, as asserted by the Unions
alleged correspondent. l can safely say
that such silly talk did not eminate in
the First ward. l did not think because
intended to vote for Cleveland that l
would endanger my chances of getting
employment at my trade, which have
served all my life, and am following an
honest trade, such as my father and his
father followed before me, being workmen
of this country. Because l propose to
change my vote which will be for the
benefit of my trade, as see it, papers
are sent with my letter in it, to the sup
erintendent at Ottawa, hoping thereby to
create an ill-feeling between that gentle
man and myself, but the scheme failed
signally in Its purpose. The superin-
tendent at Ottawa simply gave me the
letter to return to Mr.. Bostock with the
injunction: Say to him, that letter meets
my approval and you have fully ex-
pressed my sentiments"
will say further in reference to Mr..
Zellers, the superintendent, that he has
been in the business some thirty years in
America and that he is very much unlike
the superintendent at the glass works
here, who furnishes tin horns for
mob to boot at me upon
my arrival home. 1t may be of interest
in this connection, however, to state that
was not at home when this mob paid its
respects, but friends of mine had provid-
ed themselves with appropriate missils
and the unlnvited visitors were given a
proper reception. The Union fails &c
note these features of the serenade sc
considerably intended for me.
| wish further to add that every mar
has a God-given right in this country to
vote as he pleases; that right shall ex
ercise, and l shall not be bulldozeC
by threats which have been made to in
timidate and change. hope every glas
blower will get the Chicago Herald of las
Thursday and Friday and read them anC
see whether l am right or not. Reat
what it shows about one thousand mel
oeing engaged to come to this country
