Unanimous on Mayor.

1t is fact that, last year, when Mayor
Butler was announced by the Union as a
Republican party candidate, he Invent to
that Office and denounced the act'as against
his wishesI and consent, denying that he
ever agreed to be party candidate and
should not hold himself as a party mayor
if elected. Knowing this fact, and know
ing also that he had not acted the partizan
in his appointments, and that he had no
desire, this year, to be the candidate of
either party, as party, the Democrats
paid him the compliment of a nomination.
which lie has gracefully accepted, as will
be seen by his letter in this paper. He is
therefore as much the Democratic candi-
date as the Republican candidate, and his
past course shows that party politics will
not control his official acts. This is Just
the man we want for mayor.

mTurn About" is Fair PLAY.

The Democrats having nominated the
Republican candidate for mayor Republi-
cans ought now to dcop their candidates
for aldermen and vote for those nominated
by the Democrats. Turn about is fair
play. Mayor Butler will receive hearty
support from all the Democratic aldermen
in everything tending to the welfare of the
city. The men presented by the Demo
Gratis are, in no case, the inferior of those
nominated by the Republicans, and are
generally superior. Of course neither
party has presented the highest class of
talent-but when our leading business men
and property holders absent themselves
from the primaries, nothing better need
ever be expected But the Democrats
have nothing to be ashamed Of on a COM
parison of tickets. Let every Democrat,
therefore, do bis whole duty. and especially
appeal to Republicans to show fair play by
voting for our men, inasmuch as we vote

candidates are heartily in accord witt

The Pop Maker and Glass Blow err on
Sanitary Conditions.

In this paper will be found report of
the water works committee, appended to
which is report from DR.. Farquharson,
of Davenport, and man named Morgan,
on our water works water. ordered pub
lished by the city council Who is Morgan?
Why, he is the man from whom the water
works committee bought the new pump.
OF course he would give his customer "a
character" Carse got him to write his
little piece, and then brought him up and
introduced him to us, and he offered this
very letter to us for publication then-on
the Goth of last January. We read it and
handed it back to Morgan, with the remark
that the people of Rock Island wouldn't
be likely to be influenced much by his opin
ion on the subject; that we didn't think
his opinion more valuable than the average
of men who went around canvassing for
business. But now his little letter is
showed in with the report, as though it
was of some Importance. Of course it
proves nothing.
The water works committee deny that
they have been trying to whitewash or de-
lay investigation, but the facts don't war
rant their denial. They were appointed
on the 22nd of January, and ordered to
procure an analysis of the water Did
they proceed to do what they were ordered
to do? No. They dilly- dallied and shilly-
shallied until the river began to rise, and
until the shore ice had melted away, and
until air and sun could operate on the
water, and until the earth along the shore
could absorb portions of the sewage, and
then, when the water had become com.
paratively pure, they proceed to execute
their order, aud publish the result-on the
End OF March-more than a month after
they were ordered to do it, and after the
water had greatly improved. Having de
layed long enough to prepared big buckle
of whitewash they proceed, more than
month afterwards, to daub it on the people
but it is too thin.
