The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-08-25
nSs-Now the most cnnning fellow ue have

HarNow the most cunning fellow we have
seen this many a day is Davie Reid. He
is so innocent in the ways of politics. 1t
is really refreshing to hear him discourse
so unconcernedly about the county Offices.
Dayie doesn't want anything just at
present, but there are those in Moline who
might be induced to take an Office, and
Davie could be prevailed upon to work
"the republican machine in their interests.
The fact is, he don't care to be known as a
sponsor for all of them, but being in
reality the Moline 'wet nurse" of the
party, it is his duty to exercise motherly
care oyer all Moline bautlings. As far as
Davie is at present informed, Moline could
be induced to fill the Office of treasurer, and
county clerk, and that of coroner and
Judge, and Rock Island would be per-
mitted to name the school commissioner,
with Tillinghasr who is looked upon as a
Moline man.
