REPUBLICAN CITY CONVENTION.

According to call, and pursuant to in
ssructions, the republican delegates assem-
bled at the Court House last evening to en-
act the annual farce of nominating 9 candi
date for Mayor A goodly number of dem
ocrats were present, who gave responsibility
to the affair.
Capt Peetz read the call from the morn
ing bowler.
NJ 7. Wiser, won crest credit BY moving
the champion bartender into the chair.
which the C. b. t. Immediately proceeded to
fill. The accomplished Bready was appoint
ed committee of one to spoil the foolscap,
and read the list of delegates. Several
we're absent from each ward, so subs were
chosen.
On the call for candidates, DR..
Plummer relieved himself by nom.
mating Elisha Carter A man with
very significant name nominated DR.
Truesdale on behalf of the first ward dele
gates. Capt. Peetz was nominated. The
chair appointed Messrs. Burgh and Wiser
to pass around the hat, which they accom-
plished in a graceful aud dignifed manner.
An examination of the ballot, an informal
one, showed that Carter had tailed three
times and three over; Truesdals had l6,
Murdoch /, Peetz /, Plummer 2.
DR.. Plummer and Mr.. McAllister testified
that Truesdale had positively declined to
serve.
A high-minded satellite from the third
ward waited formal ballot, which was
ordered by the meeting.
Mr.. Hakes, delegate, refused to vote,
saying, to the confusion of his friends, that
the thing was packed, that Carter was the
nominee of some half dozen men who were
trying to run the party, that the convention
was to be allowed no hand in the matter
and that Truesdale would serve. This
declaration OF Mr.. Hskes', which every one
knows to be the truth, escaped our observa
ton, but on the testimony of Mr.. Petit, a
wire worker of the first ward, who repeated
the assertion in our hearing, we feel at lib
er;y to say that Mr.. Hakes was in The
right.
!, The formal ballot, taken es a mere mattel
of form, resulted: Carter, 80; Truesdale, !
two votes short of the full poll. It is evi
dent that more than Mr.. Hakes were dis
satisfied with the manner in which the thru
ward clique handled the meeting But the.
made the nomination "unanimous" accord
= ing to custom, and then attempted TO cheer
but it was the weakest apology for enthusi
Hsm We ever heard.
j. W ,Simonson,a youthfulyouth, was nom
mated for police magistrate, without oppos
r ton. The =. y. said the honors were thrus
upon him, he didn't want it but that h
would do his best to be elected, which u
3 one doubted.
!. The modest and unassuming young explt
/. rer of Coke and Blackstone, was nominate
q chairman of the central committee. Ho'
! does this look? E. E. Parmenter, c. c.
Messrs. Steele, Whitfen and Bready wer
4 appointed to wait on Mr.. Carter and inforI
b him that his pack was successful, that th
- Robinson and Mixter candidate was nomil
! ated.
NJ. F. Wiser won the lasting regard of a
present by motion to adjourn, and II
= Assem- olage dispersed. Seconded the annui
II farce.

The Moline RepieW asks the following
pertinent questions
Is the Reuiea0 any less alive than before
the change? Does the newspaper itself
show any signs of decay because one man
runs it instead of two? Or is it only the
excessive good will that our neighbors bear
toward US that makes them hail with delight
anything that looks like the downfall of this
paper2 If SO, we thank you, gentlemen,
and beg leave to inform you that the Moline
Reuie,o was never in q more prosperous con
dition than at present, and we propose to
SSH on Ger the "untroubled see of success"
regardless of the sneers of other quill.dri-
vers.
Korsct, Brother ellison, we admire your
pluck. If it wasn't for your. leaky boat, we'd
like to take sail with you. But don't be
so hard on the poor quill-driverS of the com
munity. Remember that you were once
q p. q. d. Don't be sarcasticsl. Remember
what you were before you edited the ReUie'c.
Keep your temper, have an eye on your
helm, and you may sail as much as you
please.

Fun ON The RIvER.-The prospects are
good for lively rivalry between the North
ern Line and Northwestern Packet Compa-
MES this season. Commodore Davidson has
been ruled out of separate wharfage privi-
leges for the Northwestern Union Packet
Company, at St. Louis. He has no alterna-
tive but to double up with the Northern
Line, as he did last year, or 60 below all the
wharf boats for position at the landing.
1t looks every day more and more as though
there would be bitter rivalry between the
two companies this season. Davidson is
not liked in that city, and those who oppose
him will find that ne is q hard man TO fight.
30 much the better for the shipper. Let the
best one conquer.

of the Board was held at the Harper House
last evening.
The minutes OF the last meeting were
read and approved, and the Board then
listened to few able remarks from it's
President, VIM. kggteston, Esq, as follows
Gents of Board Of Trade In accord
ance with the cordial invitation OF MIR. Har
per, We have met this evening ard do our bust
ness in this splendid and commodious hotel,
the Harper House, which should be q suth-
cient lnducement for general aud punctuel
attendance of the members of the board on
ell occasions of the regular or called meet
lngs. We all know that since the organiZa.
ton CT this Board our city has been con-
stantly growing in reputation and import
ance; In fact, we are becoming good deal
metropolitan IN character, and when our sis
ter towns become part of our corporation
| fancy we may be Justly and truly called
the city of the Upper Mississippi; for where
can be found on the river, between St. Louis
and its head waters, so many and SO large
manufacturing interests as there are in this
locality? The largest amount OF which has
been inaugurated since the birth of our ex-
istence-I mean the existence of this asso-
citation. And nothing is required to enable
US to largely increase the manufacturing
industry bus the continuation of the liberal
and yigilant efforts of our business men end
capitalists.
Although / have done nothing to brag of
myself, yet l have done all could do, and
would respectfully urge all others to do
what they can, to foster and extend to
youthful manufacturing establishments nov
in operation, and to put shoulder TO the
wheel of those who are nov making strong
and vigorous efforts to establish others on q
sure and solid basis, which the most of our
existing establishments now enjoy.
We have in connection with our manu-
featuring and mercantile establishments q
first class hotel capable of holding and en-
tertaining in princely style four hundred
people, besides other respectable places of
entertainment to almost any reasonable
extent. Besides neat advantages both in
water power and fuel, to extend indefinitely
manufacturing establishments, and why
should we not continue to grow in industry,
wealth and numbers. We trust we will, SO
mote it be.
The following bills were allowed and
ordered paid: ARGUS, $500, Union, $500
VIM. Egg $500.
The Board then adjourned to meet at the
same place on March 18th.
