nGive us BETTER Men u

This is the cry of people who never at
tend caucus and try to get better men
nominated. We think the city nomina-
tons, this year, with the exception of
Bailey Davenport, are rather light weights,
all around, but fault finding does not be-
come people who absented themselves
from the caucusses, and made no effort to
get better men, Nor is it quite right to
talk about electing immensely great men
for aldermen. A suitable man for alder
man is man who is fair average of the
ward which sends him-not below the
average. nor greatly above it. Such man
has interests and sympathies in common
with the mass of the people. Aud with
such men, and good safe man for mayor
the city will get along we'll enough, provid
ed, of course, that the aldermen stand by
and sustain the mayor in all laudable eff
forts in the interest of the people.

For Mayor.

There never was time in the history of
this city when the services Of a competent,
careful, safe, economical, judicious man,
like Bailey Davenport, for mayor, were SO
much needed as now. The desire that he
should gil the Office the coming year is
well nigh universal. He declined to be
considered a candidate for the nomination.
He suggested several other good safe men,
but it was of no use, for the people wanted
him and were determined to have his ser
vices. The feeling in the Republican con-
vention was strongly in favor of indorsing
him. Being told of the almost unanimous
call for him he has consented to be a can
didate but he said he could not electioneer
for votes; he wanted every body to vote
for him, if he run, but he could not "a
around and make a canvas; he trusted to
the representations Of his friends, and te
their zeal in getting out the voters. for he
didn't like to be beaten after he consented
to run. If elected he should devote hi
time and attention to the Office and to sucf
measures as he believed to be for the inter
est of the people generally, without regars
to party. ,-.t...-
Mr.. Davenport has been six times cleo
ted mayor of this city, and no one can say
in all that time, that he ever had per
sonal axe to grind, or that he ever favored
any measure for his private interest whicl
was not for the interest of the people gen
orally.
He is one Of the most independent me-
in Rock Island. He has no clique or rim
about him and never would have. He ne,
er would do any act as mayor as person;
favor 1t is only as public right and i
accordance with public interests that b
acts. He never would do an act to graft,
the spite of one man against another. An

have to; that if he'd been at the conven-
ton first he wouldn't have consented. but
as his friends had stuck to him so we'll he
sposed he'd have to stand"
