THE LAST WORD.

This is the last ARGUS which can reach
the people before they vote, to morrow, and
we urge every democrat who would maintain
the fair fame of his city and send encourage
ment to his brethren in other states, to de-
vote his time to the election of every one of
the democratic nominees, from now till the
ballot box shall be closed, tomorrow night.
Let him remember that Rock Island never
faltered in her proud democratic frmness
during the whole war; that she filed every
quota of men called for, without draft,
while radical towns had to be drafted that
the democrats in this and other states poin.
ted with pride to her position, and that here
we set an example of patriotic devotion TO
our country which silenced the fanatical SLAM
der that the democrats were sdisloyal." Let
him remember that we have now one of the
best tickets ever presented for the suffrages
of the people; that every man was fairly and
honorably and regularly nominated by the
party, and that the honor of every individ
ual democrat is pledged to their support.
Whether any of US personally dislike any of
the candidates, or whether we would have
preferred some other men, has nothing
whatever to do with the question now. The
party has judged that Kimball, Phillips,
Davenport, Copp, and Skinner,all things be-
ing considered, ARE the to vote for at this ell
ection,and it is our duty to vote clean dem
ocrasie ticket, with not a single name erased.
We are voting, not for men, but for princi
ples-for the success of our party, for the
overthrow of the wicked and destructive
principles of the radical party, and the only
way to do it is to stand firmly and unitedly ,as
one man, for the whole ticket, thus rolling
up an increased majority, and sending en-
couragement to all democrats, from Maine to
California. Let not the sun go down to-mor-
row night, before every democrat in Rock
Island has discharged his duty to his party,
his principles and his country, by voting
the clean, straight democratic ticket.

is democrat from principle, deeply inter-

ness. and interested with Capt. Copp IN their
large livery establishment. he has been
savsra, times collector of taxes, once city
e,erk and is well acquainted with city af-
fair. He is man of correct habits, popu-
lar with his party and with the people gen
orally, and is firm and unyielding demo-
cra.. His opponent is double-dyed radi-
cal, protesting great cleverness and do
ing all in his power to help the "poor heirs
deprive the city of its just revenues, and all
in his power to defeat democrats. He has
had no experience in public business, ex'
cept to hold the office of town clerk two
years, when he could gobble big fees for
handling the bounty fund, and he obtained
this Office By begging democratic votes-a
trick he is now trying to play again, but this
time, we hope, without success. No good
democrat can vote for Ed Spencer, against
such man as George Copp.
FOURTH WARD.
Porter Skinner, the democratic nominee
is an old fashioned Pennsylvania democrat,
of the Jackson sort. For years he was a
hard laborer, and by industry, economy and
good business habits accumulated wealth
which he has invested in large lumber
mill, giving employment and support to
many families. He is sterling man, in ev
cry respect. He is the regular democratic
nominee, and his election would be credit
to the ward, the city, and the party. His
opponent. Clip. Moore, is an intense radical
lives away up on the Moline line, and works
in Moline. He has no interests in common
with the people in the ward, and if elected
would vote, in the council, to deprive every
democrat of Office, and carry out ever.

Democrats remember if the radical can
didates are elected, that every democrat ii
Rock Island will be deprived of Office, ane
all the power and patronage of the city turn

against you and your friends, and to defea

and increasing interests of this city, as Mr..
