in other wsrds, perceive that If they vote for a
radical alderman they are voting to place
every city Office in the hands of the radical
party, 70 be used against them on the presi-
dential election? And for two years to
come? Can't they see that they are dong
incalculable injury to their own friends and
their own party? Don't they know that
they are voting to give the radicals the city
marshal, all the policemen, all the ward su.
peryisors, the city clerk, the city assessor,
the collector, the wharf master, the bridge
tenders, the weighmaster, the city printer, and
every Office in the city, and perhaps placing
it out of their power to ever restore the city
to the democratic side again? Hadn't they
better think of these things before they puta
club in the hands of the radical party to beat
out the brains of their own friends?
Wake m, democrats spurn all the tricks
of your enemies, and vote nothing but the
clean, straight democratic ticket
R,ptcAL Caucus IN THE FouRTH.--The
radical wire-pullers held caucus in the
Fourth ward, Saturday evening. In their
call, as published in the radical organ, they
invited s.all citizens of the Fourth Ward who
are opposed to the corrupt faction which
now controls this city" thus including, of
course, all who are opposed to the democrat
ic party, as the democratic party controls the
city. We hardly think there can be found
many democrats who viii endorse the idea
that their party is a corrupt party, as they
must do if they vote for radical candidate.
In the call which they published in the Ar
GUS, they invited "all who are opposed to the
election of Porter Skinner" This net was
spread to catch democrats, and they now
brag that, in this way, "they can fool the Ir-
ish democrats into voting the radical ticket"
They did succeed, in this way. in getting a
number of democrats to attend their meeting,
and they nominated Clip. Moore, the most
intense radical in the ward, who works in
Moline and who lives nearly up to the Moline
line. If any democrat in the Fourth ward
can be fooled into voting for such radicals
as Murdoch and Clip. Moore, we pity his
democracy. Murdoch and Moore are the
radical candidates, and a vote for either of
them is vote for the radical party and
against the democratic party, and will be
SO regarded. The democrats of the Fourth
ward should see to it that 40 artful dema-
gogue or shyster imposes such a ticket on
them. Kimball and Skinner are the demo
cratic candidates, regularity nominated, and
we hardly think any democrat in that ward
wants to place himself among boilers and
give aid and comfort to the enemy by voting
for Murdoch and Moore

THE radical organ, this morning, is in a
perfect rage about Bailey Davenport. 1t
says:
"He has never given q job worth mentioning to
q single mechanic or laboring man of Rock
Island"
Bailey Davenport expended over four thou
sand dollars in buildings last season, and
built two new houses, one in the city and
one outside the city. The mechanics who
received the money wont take any stock in
the radical falsehoods about him.
The radical organ further says
ellis opponent, Arohy Shaw, employs more
men and pays out more money in one year. than
Bailey Davenport has done in ell his life time"
Not much, my dear. The facts will show
that Bailey Davenport gives employment to
more men and pays more money for labor
than Archie Shaw. Not year passes but
he does this. In quarrying rock alone he
has constantly employed seven men all win.
ter. The lies. about Bailey Davenport answer
very well among those who had rather be-
lieve a lie about him than the truth-but
they will none of them bear investigation.
The people who are throwing stones at him
could be in much better business.

VERY SmALL.-We suppose the wouldbe
radical city printers know that the difference
between the cost of 10 blanks and 100 is on
ly the cost of paper and few more turns of
the press-and in the case alluded to (oi
Mayors oaths) would not amount to so cents
In fact it is q matter of economy to the city
in case of that sort to print sufficient
supply.

EVERY VoTE given for any man on the
radical ticket is vote to encourage the rad

paying the bonds in greenbacks, and against

travagance of the radical party.

Some honest people in the county are charging
our county clerk for their high taxes.-Rock Is
land and Moline Uaioa
All "honest people" know that the extrav-
agant manner in which he manages his
office is the cause of a large increase of
their taxes. The cause of high taxes is to
be found in keeping the radicals in Office,
anywhere, county, state or nation,-and the
people win never get q reduction until they
stop electing radicals to any Office.

TIcKErs.--A supply of clean, straight
democratic tickets will be found with the
judges of the election, in each ward. We
caution our friends 10 be extremely careful
that, in distributing the tickets they do not
commit the fatal mistake of allowing two
tickets to adhere to each other, so that they
will be folded together and thus placed in
the box, for all men who thus vote, lose
their votes, as both tickets are required BY
law to be thrown out. Let great care also
be exercised in getting the right ticket for
the ward, as votes are often lost by casting
First Ward ballot, for instance, in the Sec
ond Ward, or a Second Ward ballot IN the
First Wsrd-thus losing vote on alderman.
Let the committees, vote distributors ana
all voters look sharp to their tickets. ae
ED SrENcER,b by begging democratci votes
succeeded in beating Mr.. Gutter. for town
clerk. in 1865, and Mr.. Barge, in 1866, thus
depriving two deserving citizens of what
would have been, to them, a handsome sup
port-the fees on the disbursement of the
bounty fund. He did not need the money
they did ; but his greed for gain was the
incentive which caused him to beg demo
Gratis to help beat their own men. He is
now trying to beg his way into the city coun-
ell to help the ''poor heirs" in their gigantic
schemes to increase their ill-gotten gains
and deprive the people of this city of their
proper soerccs of revenue. Has he still the
power to fool democrats into voting for him
Let the Third ward answer, tomorrow.
