Tarrea with the same stick.

The youth who writes for the Davenport
Gazette is either a liar or a fool when he
says that Mr.. Lundy is not squarely on
the citizens ticket. The youth is tarred
with the same stick that has befouled the
Union and that stick is Mayor Butler. Now
we want the republicans of the second
ward to understand that Mayor Butler
signed the citizens call, and he is the one
who is boiling the ticket and trying to elect
the workingmen's candidate. The glass
works and other corporations that are
supporting Butler want to understand his
object. There is no earthly chance fol- The
election Of a republican in the second
ward, and when Mayor Butler leaves his
own ward and tries to run republican il
the second ward it is only an attempt tc
assist in the election Of the workingmen'
candidate. 1t is contemplate piece o.
business, and only shows that Mayor Butler
is hurt, and badly damaged by Alderman
Lundys exposure of his bond business
After signing the citizens cali and acting
as he is doing now it is a virtual admission
by Mr.. Butler that he is wounded.

If Tomorrow election should result in
the choice of L. P. Reynolds, Esq, for
Mayor, there is no question but he will
administer the government of this city in
the liberal and tolerant spirit which cha
racterizes the man, and 10 good faith for
the interests of the citizens Of all classes
Mr., Reynolds sincerely and fully sub.
scrib2s to the maxim that a public officer
should be honest capable and faithful, and
no person of all our fellow citizens would
be less Influenced by considerations Of
personal friendship, or more anxious to
surround himself with good efficient ap
pointees, or more strongly de sirous bis ad-
ministration OF public affairs should be

examine every name, and be sure you vote
for the citizens candidates.
Remember that you must vote separate
ballots for the township and city candidates.
Watch your ballots uutiI the judges place
them in the right boxes The township
ticket goes into one box and the ticket for

tn the PUBLIC

Having learned to-day, on the eve of
the election, that a report is in circulation
among the citizens that will probably be
absent from the. city some considerable
portion Of the year; which circumstance, If
true, might be deemed by some an objee-
ton to my election; I deem it proper to
say to my fellow citizens that | have nc
engagements or business of that character
now on hand, and it is my intention to re
main in the city the whole of the coming
year, and to faithfully perform the duties
of the Office of mayer, should the people
honor me with an election to that Office.

the citizens as a whole should combine
against any and every effort which would
array class against class; that labor and
can;tal are interdependent and cannot be
divorced without greVious detriment to
each: that it is wrong in principle and fatal
in practice to array class against class,
section against section, poor against rich,
or to elect men to Office by exciting the
preiudices of ignorance, the envy of caste,
the disdaiu of the wealthy, or to further
the Vaccinations Of arrant demagogues
and trucking traffcking politicians.
The citizens ticket is good ticket, a
strong ticket, ticket of laboring men,
genuine representatives of industrial and
commercial pursuits, a -partizan ticket,
and the ARGUS gives it unqualified. IN.

the circumstances, and at the present

in no sense ii political movement, and
while it was inaugurated by citizens who
are prominent members Of the republican
partEuand who took an active part in the
nomination of the ticket, equally as prom
iment men who are members of the dem
ocratic party took equally as active part
IN nominating the ticket, The result was
good ticket composed OF representative
men, of unquestioned ability, integrity and
fairness. The ticket is equally divided
between the two parties aud under the
circumstances is entitled to the support of
all citizens of both parties. Let every
democrat vote for the whole ticket. Let
it not be said that having gone into the
arrangement the democrats did not act
squarely and honestly. Let every demo-
crat do his level best for the whole ticket.
There are enough democrats to elect the
whole ticket. Let them all come forward
as enc man, at this time, and defeat this
scheme of the Ui.ion to throw the control
OF the city into the hands of the secret
league"
Let 1t not be said that the democrats Of
Rock Island ever weakened or took the
back track. While this is not our fight, in
a party sense, let us show the republicans
.nat we, as democrats, can fight for an
honest and economical city government

The Citizens Ticket.

It was a sense of common interest, an |
apprehension of common danger, and a
resolution for unity of action, which led to
the nomination ofa citizens ticket.
All things considered it is an uncommon
ly good one--it is as truly and practically a
ticket of laboriug men as can we'll be gotten
up.
Fellow citizens! stand by your ticket.
Don't be diverted from the object in
hand by any side issues, any personal
grievances, any grudges on account of
by-gones.
Give every man on the citizens ticket
your help, your strength. and your un.
falteriug support.
Remember the interests Involved, the
present aud future welfare of the city-the
virtual communism which threatens to
strike down all who oppose it.
Citizens! you are confronted by the
devices and schemes Of men who grovel in
the dark-who league together in secret to
accomplish political ohjects-whose mem
bers have already confessed they dare not
vote against the ticket the League pro
vides, because they are threatened with
Woe if they DO, and they say it is no idle
threat. These admissions are a virtual
acknowledgement that no sense of fitness
or un6tness is to influence or govern their
action at the ballot box Even those who
are obliged to admit that from consiGera
tons of personal regard, or private in
terest, or public good, and Of superior fit
ness, they would prefer and would like to
vote for men on the citizens ticket, still say
they cannot act according to the dictates Of
their judgment because they are perforce
under obligation to oppose and vote
against every person not on the ticket oil
the League, or else be branded al
traitors. 1t is clear the rank and file have
no option-they are bound-the man who
dares not vote as he would like to, bu
votes as he is ordered, is not free and in
dependent voter, his vote is a mere regis
tration at the ballot box Of the orders O.

Fellow Citizens! do you want the cit

There are INSCRIPTIONS grocers and
dealers in various sections of the country,
who say to their customers
who ask for 'Dooley's. Yeast
Powder" We do not keep it in cans,
but have it loose or in bulk" We desire
to call the attention of purchasers of
Dooley's Yeast Powder to the fact that
this is dishonorable trick, which is re-

as Dooleys, cheap. adulterated substitute,
which in many cases is highly detrimental
to health. The genuine Dooley's Yeast
Powder is never sold in bulk or loose, butlin
cans under the label and trade mark of the
proprietors, Dooley & Brother, New York.
Any dealer, therefore, who offers it other

vast expense, It's long time and its possible
disastrous consequences to the public
health, Capt. Cowdon presents one thatihe
regards Is much more feasible and inlin'i
itely preferable in any point Of view. Ills
project is to prevent the overflow Of the
banks Of the river By conveying away the
surplus water through side channels. He
claims that the opening OF the Bonnet
Carrie outlet by the action OF the river IT.
self has already demonstrated the efficacy
OF his method. He claims that the dis.
charge throushthis outlet in times OF high
water has proved beneficial in more ways
than one. 1t has relieved the country
from oyeraown not only below the crevasse,
but also in great measure as far north as
vicksburg, the high.water mark at that
point and southwark having been lowered
several feet. At the same time, vast
quantity OF silt which would otherwise
have been deposited at the mouth OF the
river, hastening the advance OF the bar
and river banks into the gulf, has been
diverted, and deposited where 1t will do
good instead Of harm. Further the
stream, having been confined to its chan
mel, has secured the bed, increasing the
depth at low water. 4iE1
Captain Cowdon proposes to follow in
the path that nature has pointed out, and,
instead OF trying to confue the enormous
volume OF water discharged in seasons oil
food to o single channel, to convey it
away by q number OF channels. He claims
that in this way the overflow OF vast areas,
now occurring annually, can be prevented
that the land can not only be reclaimed
but, within certain limits, greatly en-
riched by the deposit Of silt, and that the
channel can be deepened and the naviga'
ton greatly improved from st. Louis to
the gulf. In this view he thinks he is
sustained not only by the known effects
Of the opening Of the Bonnet Carrie crew
asse, but by the opinions OF engineers
He therefore asks an appropriation large
enough to test the whole plan by opening
one outlet additional to that at Bonnet
Carrie. The cost OF the test work he est
mates at not more than $3.50, 900, and thai
Of the whole system Of outlets at about
$40, 100000.
