Their Relation to Municipal
Growth and Prosperity.

A sarcastic philosopher once remarked
that "a good set of bowels are better tbas
a good set of brains" Whether his obser-
walton applies with equal force to cor
Porstions as to individuals, is yet q ques-
tion. The voters of Rock Island are ex-
peeted to decide it tomorrow. That MIR.
Murdoch has good set of bowels, we think
there is no doubt. II they were not com
posed of the very best material, they would
never have endured the severe alcoholic
strain be has brough; to bear upon them
for so many years past. We think We may
safely quote them as copper-lined. Mr..
Davenport, on the other hand, has a good
set of brains. He has given sufficient proof
Of this ia a variety of ways. He is one of
our best fnauciers, and one Of our best
read citizens. Mr.. Murdoek is running the
Mayoralty race strictly on the strength Of
his bowels. Mr.. Davenpor, WAS chosen
| candidate by the Democracy, solely on &C
count Of his brains, and the excessive need
we have experienced FIR them. Mr.. Mar
dock claims to be able to stand up
under as heavy ros-got pressure
SIS any man in this whole section. On tie
end of his nose he sports a delicate peach
blossom that any Five Point hummer might
be proud Of His bowels have raised him
from his natural state of obseuritv to his
present political influence, aud made him a
temporary leader among men. Consequently
when be en- leAvors to prove his ftness for
Any public position, he addresses his argu-
ments entirely 10 the bowels of those he de-
sires to conVincs. In his estimation, glass
of poor whisky will do more to win the ed-
mirstion aud support of voter, than all the
Displays OF intellectual power g Websterian
brain might be capable Of Hence, in e
campaign like the present one, he invests
largely in noxious liquid compounds, aud
/ does his bumming OF very extensive scale.
In this he is largely assisted by "Old El-v-
en- Hundred Dollars" d ompany. If be
thinks follower is wavering, or has been
very doubtful from the start, he asks him to
take q drink and keeps on asking him
tail the man is 'all right" and is ready to be
carried home on a shutter. Tom then walk.
of un phased, to extend his bowelistic victo
ries in other quarters. AS an sdmirabl,
collection of bowels he is q complete sue
cess. We Sill admit the fact without arg u
meht. But the question Arises-Do tn.
people of Rock Island prefer to be ruled b.
good set of bowels, or by . good set o
brains. They should give the matter ,
thorough consideration, before visiting th,
polls, tomorrow, to vote
