The Congressional Convention of The
Independent Reform party for the Sixth
District will be held at Princeton, on Thurs
day, Sept oath, as we learn from letter
from Col. l. I'll. Elliott, published in TIL
Rock ISLAND ARGUS. The time,it seems
to us, is rather late, and will give the can
didate but a brief time to canvass the dis
trict.
! In the meantime, however, the people
can be discussing among themselves, the
qualifications of the man or men who are
likely to be brought before that conven-
ton.
We have heard very little said with re-
gard to candidates, fact, nothing ex-
cept what has been brought out by being
charged by Republican papers that this,
that, or the other man was seeking the
nomination. We really do not know, and
do not care to know, of any man seeking
the nomination. One of the cardinal prin-
ciples of the Reform party is that the
office should seek the man,not the man the
Office" We hope and trust that the pres
ent campaign will prove the sincerity of
the declaration, and that any man who
adopts the tricks and practices so universal
among politicians to secure the nomination,
will be rejected by the convention. Let
the candidate be selected by the people
through their representatives, from his fit.
ness, his known honesty, integrity and abil-
| y. The people expect such nomination
to be made, and would rally to the support
of such man with unanimity which
would be something surprising to the poll
ticians of the district.
There are doubtless many men in the
District who would fill these requirements,
and do honor to the position, but we know
of no man who is so eminently qualified to
fill the position as Hon. Charles Durham,
of Geneseo.
He made record in the Legislature of
which his constituents may well be proud
lie is able, honest and true to the inter-
6sts of the people. He was always in his
place in the House when the interests of
his constituents required his presence
there. He made 10 "buncomb" speeches,
but hisvoice and vote was sure TO be heard
and felt when the interests of the people
demanded it.
His course in the Legislature made him
hosts OF friends, who would rejoice in hav-
ing an opportunity to testify their arpre-
citation of his public services
We do not know whether Mr.. Durham
would accept nomination if rendered
him, but we do know that if he will &c
cept, no better man can be found.
We suggest MIR. Durham as candidate
upon our own responsibility, without con-
sultation with any one, because we believe
him to be the right man, and to set people
to thinking upon the subject. -Ke,conee

An Overlooking Well.

Mr. Harrisburg, farmer Lying about
two miles southeast of Moline, commenced
digging well, tie usual size, aud when
the depth of thirty two feet was reached
an eight inch augur was introduced; when
this reached the depth of twelve feet and
was drawn out, a stream of water followed
which drove the dggers from the well. 1t
reached the top of Que mans boots and
came near to the other waist before they
could get out of the well. The water con-
tinued to raise and soon large stream
was running from the top of the well, which
promises to be living fountain of pure
cold water The elevation where the well
is dug is near hundred feet above the
river. So far as the augur was sunk there
was no appearance of rock, simply common
clay and sand

The Union claimes that ten of the nine
teen Henry county delegates are for
Judge Lyude. To the best of our know
edge and belief not single member of tina,
delegation is ior him. The figures are
about as follows: For Hawley, Henry
county, 3; Lee, IA: Putnam, 8; total, 26.
Henderson, Bureau,I1 Henry, 10; total,
% Lynde, Rock Island, II.
With these figures before them, and
knowing them to be correct, betting men
would naturally place their money on Mr..
llawley. The chances seem to be in his
favor. Failing to secure the nomination
of Judge Lynde, the Rock Island delega-
ton will all turn in for Mr. Hawley. for
they do not propose to lose the congress
man if they can help it. This is what we
gather from Rock Island people.-Geaeseo

POLICE COURT
Before E. C. Chopper, Police Magistrate

Yesterday afternoon strong, rough
looking customer sat, drunk and asleep
in front of the Hong Kong tea store Pc
lieeman Ankrum was called to remove
him, but the fellow when reused up was
too much for Ankrum, and Constable Ha-
berloh was called on to assist. They sue
ceeded in getting him as far as the gate to
the Jail yard, but it took about all the addi-
tioual hustle Of Sheriff Payne and Deputy
Beal to get him inside. This morning he
gave his name as Alfred Linwoll. He was
fined s. and costs. Paid.
A drunk aud ugly fellow, named James
Clark, was found on the levee last night
by Policeman Ohrt and locked up. Fined
s. and costs. No money. Sent back to

Mart Burgh, drunk, was put out of the
Young America about | O'Clock this morn
ing, but soon returned and banged the door
until Mr. Kelly opened it, when Mart seiz-
ed Kelly, tearing his shirt sleeve, and, get
ting rather too demonstrative, Kelly blew
his whistle for the police, and Mart was
locked up Fined s. and costs. Paid.

special recommendation of DR. Price Fla

tracts, while the bottles hold half more
than those purporting to contain the same

REFRESHMENTS AT THE COUNTY FAIR.
= The exclusive right to furnish meals at
the fair ground, week after next, has been
given to the ladies of the Baptist church
in this city. Their object is to relieve, as
far as they can, their society of the debt oon-
tracted in their church edifice. The un-
dertaking is a commendable one, and we
earnestly hope their many friends will give
them assistance. The ladies in charge
have experience, and those visiting the
fair may be sure of square meal at rea-
sonable price by giving them call and at
the same time they will aid in good
cause
