LINES OF ATTACK

New York Tribune: This Demo
cratic plan Of battle has its strong
points, and the Republican party
us well take the full measure OF
hem, for they are Of the highest
importance as guide-p0sts, showing
the only path by which Republicans
can march to victory. Sound gen
eralsnip attacks the weakest point.
a Republican attack which might
carry the Pacific States, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Indiana would
leave the party beaten if Mr.. Cleye-
land should carry New York, Con-
necicut and New Jersey with 81
electoral votes, which, added to 1853
from the South, would give him
204. or three more than enough.

New York is President Cleveland's
weakest point. 4 Republican at

fortunately for 4 wise Republican
selection that the Democrats and

hands. The Democrats are going

Strength. Any selection. tending
to weaken the Republican attack

States would involve great pr0hab-

thing, when the fight gets hot. II
the Republicans So nominate rs to
appeal strongly to the voters OF
Eastern doubtful States and Indi-

issue definite. II they meet that Issue
with appropriate nominations.

A FITTING TRIBUTE.
Complimentary Letter from Mayor
Blanding COncerning VIM. NC
Eniry's Conduct as City Attorney.

Editor ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND, Nov. City Attorney
McEniry calls attention to the fact that
on one or more occasion some reference
has been made in the columns of the op-
position press, apparently for the pur
pose of making political capital. as tend>
ing to show his incspacity 10 office. The
case of Bridget Cuinely VS. the city is
specially instanced as an example. 1t
seems to me that no fair and intelligent
citizen, cognizant of the situation and
the facts of that case could have expects
ed or wished him to have done otherwise
than as he did. Having been counsel
for Mrs. Cuinely in this suit prior to his
election as city attorney, and eonse-
quently possessed of both her confidence
as his client and of the evi =
dence upon which she relied
to establish her case. it would have been
unfair and unprofessional TO have absn-
| doned her cause and represented the city
under such circumstances and with such
advantages to be used against her. The
the council, and though it involved the
| employment of other counsel to appear
| in behalf of the city. and the pay of such
| counsel, it was unavoidable and so under
| stood. There was nothing in the affair
which reflected in any manner upon his
professional integrity or tend in any de
gree tolessen his standing, efficiency or
capacity in the discharge Of his official
duties as city attorney, and apprehend
the members of tie bar would SO regard
| it.
His appearance at the meetings of the
council has been prompt and punctual,
and I may further add that in
all cases where his opinion as the
legal adviser of this city has been asked
for by the council or myself,it has always
been promptly, cheerfully and unreserv-
eddy given, and his attention to the le
gal business of the city will receive and
bear as favorable estimation among oul
citizens genera ally, | venture TO say, a
the generality of his predecessors in tht
same office in this city.
In fact, without my attention being
specifically called to the subject, the in
significant effect upon the public mind o.
statements made in the heat of politcs
campaign for mere political purposes o
a character like those referred to, woulC
not have been deemed by me of sufficien
moment to require any public attention
