held for the purpose of adopting some

One of the most despicsble tricks of
the recent campaign of all the under
handed methods employed to defeat Mr..
B. 7. Gable in spite OF the popular will.
was the attack on Mr.. Cable through
the medium Of so,cslled Square Facts. y
on election morning. bys number OF Mo-
lines big bugs in the g. o. p chief among
whom was W. J. Entrken, ex-state's at
torneY, In which it was averred that Mr..
Cable does not pay his taxes. This
charge was known By those who origin
ated and fostered it to be utterly without
the least semolsnce Of struth, but like
many other Of the lies spread about Mr..
Gable. that mattered not. The hope
which fathered it was that it would reach
the masses OF the people too late for
contradiction, and that Mr.. Gable would
suffer In consequences of the misrepre.
sentations. Circulars which were gotten
out with sworn af1davits by Assessor
Barge and Deputy Assessor Kimball we're
gathered up By the same men who started
the false charge aud hauled away from the
polls. in order that the work of decep-
ton might not be blocked. Notwithstsnd
ing that the contemplate, cowardly
scheme failed OF Its purpose, the peo-
Pile have a right to know the facts and
who pays the taxes
For the four years preceding and in
Guiding 1889. the assessors books show
that the personal tax paid By Mr.. B T.
Cable for the P. L. Gable estate amounted
to $40. 74l.26, while for the same period,
the aggregate personal tax paid by c. H.
Deere, s. II. Velie and and s. W. Whee-
lock, three Of the weslthiest citizens of
Moline, combined. was S1,26455. Fig
1re 1t up and see how many times what

you would look back over the assessors
books you would find that Mr.. Gable.

To NONE is the result of the congress.
ional election more gratifying than to the
ARGUS. and OF the congratulations which
greet Mr. Gable from every side none will
be hesrtier than those of this paper. The
election of Mr. Cable is source of special
pride to the ARGUS; in the first place be-
cause its editor WAS one of the FIRST sdvo-
Gates of bis candidacy as the wisest
move the party could make, and
in support Of those convictions
spared no effort that would contribute
to his nomination first, and his
election after: and in the second place
because the district has been redeemed to
the democracy by man who will serve
1t with credit to his constituency. to his
party, aud to himself. The result OF the
election Is ample proof of the wisdom of
the choice OF the candidate.

WASHING ToN CITY, Nov 7.-Secretsry
Noble last evening replied to Mayor
Grants last application for recount of
the population of New York city, aud for
the second time refuses to allow the. re-
| count. He quotes the mayors last appli-
cation for a recount and SAYS: .'fhere
are some excuses presented by the mayor
why the papers are sent on in the shape
they are. that render it not inappropriate
to notice that the first announcement of
| the United states census at 1878, sol on
the rough count, was made as early as
July Is. last and was then widely pub
iished, while the police count did not be-
gin until Sept. %, last. Thus seventy
days were allowed TO elapss before any
steps were taken to correct the United
States censuS, il deemed incorrect. and il
is not Thought that any haste that may
now be require is TO be charged against
the census bureau as an unreasonable de-
msnd."
Not Sufficient PA oof Presented.
The staten snt made in the present ap-
plication, the secretary says that it was
not the inteIsion of the mayor, in calling
attention TO he enumeration made by the
police force OF New York to rest the case
of the city with the proofs already in the
possession of the census bureau, is incon-
sistent with his action in appealing from
the superinre Ddent to the secretary TIE
superintendent his reply to the mayors
application had stated that the demand
was without The support OF any facts Off
cially known to the census Office. and tn at
case present ed in due form would be de-
cided on its merits. If, the secretary
asks, It was OF the intention of the APP
plicsnt TO res his case on the proofs al
ready IN the possessi n of the census bu-
reau, why did he refuse to present addi-
tioDal proofs, and to make a case if he
couldr
The Refusal Of the Books
The secretary says the proofs submitted
by the mayor we're admittedly imperfect,
and IN these c. circumstances to have given
the secretary entire freedom of action in
the premises without the supervision or
presence of any agent of the applicant
was the least hat could have been offered
the secretary. His position and his obi
cations were al the sureties necessary to
