The attention Of the democratic town
ship, committee, of which Mr.. b. u.
Buford is chairman, is directed to the
call for county convention published on
the second page of this paper. On the
same page will be found some interesting
facts and figures regarding the political
outlook in the state, which show the relat-
i've strength of the two parties and the
importance of thorough organization and

Of the past outrages perpetrated upon the

democrats will carry the State. 1t is the
duty of this committee to see that Rock
Island is fully represented in the conven'
ton, that proper men may be selected as

State convention are State Treasurer TO
