The faces of the Moline republicans to-

melancholy turn of mind They realize
the uncertainty of republican conventions,

remark that, Il knew it. They have done

Island has plainly SAID. by reluctantly
giving them the coroner, that I'VE will
trust ourselves 10 Moline's hands after
death, but not while we have our senses, "
and this arouses their just indignation.
They think that, inasmuch as the county
has to come to Moline for a republican
majority, they should have a pull at the
teat. But they are slowly learning that
they must take back seat In conventions,
nurse their wrath for few days, aud al
election march up to the polls and vote foI
whoever Rock Island dictates. They have
taken two lessons in this course within tht
past year, and, although many of then
will have the independence to vote for the
best men this fall, some will support the
ticket made outfor them yesterday, merely
because it is the republican ticket. How
