g4TBy what manner of right was the
engine house locked against the Demo
cratic caucus last night? This is the only
town hall in Moline; it is where the town
meetings and other public meet
ings are held aud is the property of
the people generally, and yet Marsh
| Worm!y, who protesses to take care OF the
building. locked 1t up against the crowd
as he expressed it and delivered the key
to Mayor Wheelock, This man Worm
| ly is one of the most bitter Radicals in
Moline and has held a soft job under
city auspices for years and the money to
pay his salary comes alike from all the cit
izens and not by private contribution.
When he locked up the town hall last
evening he clearly exceeded his authority
and there is no doubt bat that be did so
from motives of spite against the Demo
cratic party. 1t is claimed that he gave
as an excuse tina" he did not want to clean
up the council room after that crowd. y
If there was anything cleanly about the
room before the caucus convened it was
not noticeable, in fact the floor under the
) table was strewn with paper. while the
chairs and the table were covered with
dust. The course of Wormly should be
strongly condemned by our city council
he should be taught that he don't run
this town. In justice to the Republican
party here, with perhaps one or two ex-
. ceptions, it is but fair to say that thC
course of Wormly the brilliant l?l ex
special police is strongly condemned
Republicans have held their caucuses a
the engine house and every citizen, NJ
matter what politics he processes, has the
same privilege, and Wormly can rest as
: sured that the Democratic Reform part
: of this town 10W use the engine hous
t whatsoever it sees fit, nor will it ask th
e consent Of Nayor Wormly either.
