MOLINE CITY ELECTION.
The Party Ringsters Rebuked.

Lu6 x 4D9DuAGQ.
The city election on Tuesday called
out larger vote than usual, and resulted
in pretty general smash-up of the slate
of the iDgsters-notwithstandlng the POM
pous announcement of John Gould that he
wouldn't act with mixed convention. In
the Union report of the Republican city
convention was the following.
-. NJ. Gould was elected chairman.
The Judge stepped forward and made a
speech as solid as gold He said he had
learned that Democratic delegates were
there to vote; that ifthat was to be mix
ed or Democratic caucus he would not pre-
side, but if it was a Republican caucus
met to nominate Republicans he would
take the chair. He was cheered and as
sured that the caucus could soon be made
a Republican one. j. NJ. Gould then
took the chair"
And then they proceeded to make NOM
nations, not one of which was elected where
contest was made. No contest was made

nominees were knocked highern kite
by two Democrats who ran independent.
Politics cut no figure in the fmatter
whatever, and their election is not in any
sense Democratic Yictory-it is victory
over the bigoted Republican ringsters who
insist that Democrats are good enough tc
be taxed but not good enough to hold
Office. 1t was a rebuke to John Gould
and that set of pig headed polite.
lars who think that party politics must be
carried into everything.
1t was not only rebuke to the Johr
Gould city caucus. but to the party WARD
caucusses, for only one of the regular
Republican nominees in all the ward

to take any water from their hydrapts.

1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi
cines 10 be able to state that it is nearly 30
years since they were first introduced during
which time they have been extensively used in
various parts OF the United States, and have given
to patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed: whether in town or country,
hospital or private practice they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisiac-
ton, and produced the most salutary and beneficial
effects. Numerous letters have been received from
some of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors of several Med
ical Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value Of these medicines, and their su
periority over other prepar atoms for such COM
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines require considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
eXtractlve matters, and In consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unfrequently
much impaired, If not rendered totally inert by
injudicious and unskilful management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations OF Sarsaparilla and OF
Buchu, and various modes Of preparing them
have been given all Of which, OF course, will differ
according to the mode Of preparation which each
individual may adopt. 1t il, therefore, Of the
highest consideration and Importance 10 the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be standard
preparations OF uniform strength, and possessing
the most advantage. To effect this, ard obviatt
the Inconvenience alluded to, have made
number OF experiments to ascertain the mos
effectual means of extracting the virtues OF Sar
ssparilla and the Buchu, and to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most fayorably, and it Is will
much pleasure now offer to the public and tn
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, whicl
