sG~The ReUieeo, sprightly republican
paper, in state aud national politics
don't propose to be buldozed into
supporting the ring candidates for
county Office and comes out for
the independent ticket. It realizes
that Moline is entitled to some considera-
ton and will not be whipped in by the
party lash. The following extract explains
itself
V. M Blanding, the independent candi-
date for Judge, was in the city this week
and called to see US. Mr. Blanding has
great many warm personal friends in this
/ city who would like to see him elected.
We are assured by number of solid and
substantial citizens of both Moline and Rock
Island that Mr.. BlandiDg's qualifications
for the Office are far superior in every
respect to those OF his opponent, Mr..
Adams. He has been a citizel CT Rock
Island county for over twenty years, and
during his residence among these people,
| has made reputation for honesty ,reliabil-
| ity, and competency, of which any man
might be proud While we are opposed
to MIR, Banding politically, we would like
TO see him, Mr.. Porter aud Mr.. Timm
elected. Some will claim that we should
support the straight republican ticket. as
nominated by the Rock Island ring; but
with all due Difference TO the opinions of
others we are inclined to differ with them.
Moline is entitled to some consideration at
the hands OF the republican party of Rock
Island county. and thus far, she has not
received her just dues, and will not until
her power is felt and demonstrated.
Therefore we think it the duty of our
republican friends to show to the republi-
cans OF Rock Island county, that they
cannot leave us out in the cold with
impunity. When we make ourselves felt,
then and then only, will hook Island
concede to us our just dues, and give us a
4 fair share of the county offices and county
patronage.
