BLACK REpUBLICAS CouRTEsY.-The

| nese We are told by . friend that the con
dnctor Of the train which was to GO to Peoria
| reserved one car for the ladies, but that the
Republican excursionists took possession Of it
and refused to give it NJ, and would not until
the Sheriff was called ard Mr.. Pickett had
made an earnest appeal to them. Shame

THE DAVENPORT HICKoRIvs.-The
Davenport II ckories are coming ont 70 night t.
attend the Democratic mee,i 2 at Rock Island
with one hundred torches. The oys have
got their pluck Up and are bound to make q
grand parade We .hould not be surprised TO
see two hundred Democratic torches out in

working. sure. and no mistake about it. Keep
the ball rolling and the Democratic camp free

The papers were signed hy which the Fair
Ground is leased for the term OF five years to
club of our citizens who own fast nags and
who delight in displaying their qualities. The
terms Of the lease are that the Club rays the
Scott County Agricultural Society 5000. ani
bind themselves to keep the course in good ra-
cing condition. We are very much pleased to
earn that the Society h ave come to this very
sensible conclusion.
THE PEORIA Mass MEETING. Be
sides the residents OF Peoria, we are informed
,nst some SIX or seven Thousand outsiders
the Republican demonstrate n at Peoria. The
best Republican speakers IN the state w,r
present, and speaking was held in various
places about the city, but with less enthusiasm
than was really expected. The cheering for
"Old Abe" was not more enthusiastic than
was that for the Little Giant In every
crowd thers were hun ireds of Democrats, who
when the name of Douglas was mentioned ren,
the air and made the very bluffs ring with
shouting. The Republicans came back With
awny. With all the hurrah aud torch.ligh's
that made up the scene, nothing was accom-
pshed worth mentioning.
Our friends came away, satisfied that Pee ria
is q fine village, but unfortunately is too ia,
from Davenport to be Of much account.
A BLACK REpUBIIcAN OPERATION
STOLEN WHIsKY We were Informed on Sa,u,.
DAY morning OF q very reprehensible and IN
manly act OF the Republican delegation while
stoI ping at Bureau Junction, ON their return
h me from Peoria. A crowd Of these felows,
Wide Awakes, etc, broke into . mans grocery
store, knocked d,wn ard tramp,ed upon the
sign, and Iorcibly tc ok therefrom keg or barrel
whisky, and rolled it into the sire I, knocked
10 the head and swlIed away to their hearts
c.ntent. A seg of lager which was lying upon
he platform. was taken into one OF the care
and drank by the maudlin crew. The keeper

we're positively too drunk to know hos " to be-

the house, aud would sell them no provision ns
except what they would take through . raised
window.
These are the acts OF the "decency" party
the only decent, respectable. and lsw abidirg z
p .r.y OF the great North. These are the acts
OF those pc sons who call Themselves gentle |
men, and who are 60 blatant about druukeo
lrishmen and Border Raffisns When they
canar gate, and after they have been and
heard the great Republican lights Of the dsy
iiecan, upon their manifold virtues and great
morality. they 60 away and indulge in such
,hieving debaucheres as these II it had
been a Democratic Gro Nd which had done such
q trick. the noise the oppo si. on would have
made over it would have lasted for mon, hs; but
the great freedom morality party, did il, md
/. "capitsl 90 d jok-"-an "iunocent affair"
And th's i. the estimate they put up n the DE-.
cency concerning which they prase so much.
The man whom they thus wantoaly plundsr

cared little for that-they rob him of his whhky
