WASHINGTON, Nov. IL, 1890.
The President, like the rest of the
Republicans, is both surprised and
disappointed at the result of the
elections. He knew, of course, that
under the circumstances it would
have been little short of a miracle
for the Republicans to have retain
edNHAtrol of the House of Repre-
sentatives, but the very large gains
made by the Democrats astonished
him as much as it did the Demo-
Gratis themselves, and he is deeply
disappointed to think that the re-
suit has been obtained solely by
the votes of Republicans, who have
taken advantage of the opportunity
to vent their spite, personal and
otherwise, by voting against their
party and their honest convictions.
He does not regard the result as in
any sense a rebuke to his admins
tration, but rather as the effort OF
misguided Republicans to "get
even" in an "off year," when he
Democrats by controlling the House
can do themselves no good and the
country no harm. Of course, If all
the Republicans who voted for
Democrats or remained at home
last Tuesday had really abandoned
the Republican party there would
be cause for serious alarm, but such
is not the case. 1t is only repeating
history for the administration party
to lose its first Congressional cleo
tion-there has been only one ex'
ception to this rule since the foun'
1ation of the government, and
when 1892 rolls around the Repub
lican party will with unbroker
ranks march to victory again.
| Mr.. Blaine was asked if he
thought the election portended 9
Democratic victory in 1892. "No1
at all" he replied; ION the contrary
it makes Republican victory in
that year almost certainty" Sec
rotary Noble says he does not SEE
anything in the result to discourage
Republicans and that lickings ar,
sometimes very salutary to- politi
cal parties as well as to obstreper
GUS boys.
When several prominent Repub
licans came here to urge upon tn
President the necessity for calm,
an immediate.extra session of Con
: gress, they learned from third par
ties that 1t had been definitely de
3 cided at a Cabinet meeting hel,
two weeks ago not to call an extr,
session. The gentlemen called Of
: the President but said nothin,
!, about an extra session.
: Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who
t here consulting with Secretar,
8 Tracy about the manufacture q
the new nickle-steel armor plate
: for the navy, expressed himself a
e follows on the election: ut is sim
!. ply a case of history repeating II
g self. There was never yet a tr

Louis Sonneville and Amelia Conger,
Of Moline. h d reciprocated each others
affection AMI we're ready that the event to
which each had looked forward with
fondest anticipstions should be consum-
mated. The groom.to- be did not attain
his twenty first birthday until Monday,
but he did not think a matter OF few
hours would make any difference, and
Saturday evening was agreed upon as the
night for tie wedding and all arrange
ments duly made. Saturday afternoon
the bashful young man applied at the
county clerks office for his license. He
was honest enough to tell his exact age,
and felt con 5cious that the few hours in
tervening between il and the time when
he should reach his majority would not
interfere with his requirement of the
much desired and quite essential docu.
ment. But his thoughts were wrong
at least Cou 1ty Clerk Donaldson thought
differently and the license was refused
All arrangements for the wedding on that
day were necessarily OFF. The guests
were hidden not to come until forty-eight
hours later, the brides cake was put
away where it wouldn't spoil and yester-
day the young man applied for the license
again and this time he received it.

A Change I'm the Union.

A change occurred in the proprietor
ship OF the Union this afternoon, thus
substsntisting the assertion made by the
ARGUS several days ago that one was
soon to occur. Mr.. Il. c. Ashbaugh
disposed of his interests to Mr.. Walter
johnson, who now becomes sole proprie-
tor, as well IS editor. Mr.. Johnson, who
is one of the oldest journalists in the tri-
cities, has the best wishes of the ARGUS in
assuming his increased responsibilities.
that he may make the Union not only
bright and newsy. but prosperous and
useful in every way.
Mr.. Ashbsugh will remain in Rock Is
land for the present, though he has moi
decided entirely upon his future bust
ness plans,

The most important of these indict-
ments are those against Clarence Mart
and John McDsrrsh. charged with as
sault with intent to commit murder. The
crime, which involves Mart. will be re-
membered as having been committed on
Christmas eve, when he attacked Actor
Chatterton, of the Hamlin Dramatic COM
pany with knife, but the fact that Nc
Darrah is implicated in the affair, will
occasion considerable surprise. He is
accused of having drawn revolver on
Chatterton on the occasion of the stab
bling, and prevented him from de-
tending himself. while Mart stabbedhim.

MR.. DAvENPORT's ESTATE.

The a eirs In P0ssessi0n-..Capt. Peefx
selected rs Administrasor---Th
Surviving Witness.
The heirs of the late Hon. Bailey Dsv.
export last night took possession of the
old homestead on Seventh avenue and
the other real estate and personal proper
ty. placing Mr.. Harry Davenport in
charge. and he has taken up his residence
at the house which was for so many years
the home of the pioneer in this city.
The heirs this morning agreed upon
Capt. John Peetz, cashier of the Peoples
National bank, as administrator, and
will file application in the county
court TO 80 empower Capt. Peetz
The selection would seem to be Pc
culiarly wise one. when 1t is consid-
cred that Capt. Peetz has been
cashier of the Peoples bank, and Mr..
Davenport, its president ever since its in .
cipiency. and the captain therefore ac>
quired thorough business acquaintance
with Mr.. Davenport and general
knowledge of his affairs such as will be
of great advantage in the settlement OF
the estate.
Such a portion OF the estate as will be
necessary to meet the obligations of the
deceased will be disposed of as soon as
possible and it IS believed that sooner OIL
later the bulk of the property that lies
about the city will become marketable.
The only one of the surviving witnesses
to Mr.. Davenport's will of 1855 is Mr.. R
W. Smith. now of Chicago, and he will
probably be in Rock Island within few
days.
