Our Candidate for Sheriff.

Scarcely had the democratic convention
which nominated Mr.. Luken for sheriff ad-
journed, before the Davenport Gasette
seeks an opportunity to disparage his can
didacy on the score of his former business
connections, and at the same time make
thurst at its political cotemporary the
Union. The extract from the columns Of
this mornings Union published below is
proper and manly tribute to the lifelong
political consistency of the democratic
candidate, and at the same time fully and
fairly sets forth the connection of Mr..
Luken with that paper 10 times past, and
the circumstances under which that con-
nection was discontinued:
The Davenport Gazette seems to cherish
a grievance against the republicans OF
Rock Island county and their exponent, the
Union, since the defeat of its attempt to
pension one of its employees by securing
him the Office of superintendent of schools,
aud loses no opportunity to utter things
calculated to impair the harmony of party
relations here As specimen of its
u6aED6SS we give place I'D TWO 0I several
paragraphs in its issue of Friday;
On Wednesday Mr.. Geo. M Luken was q stock
holder and superintendent of the Union Printing
Co. Twenty-four hours later he the unani-
nous choice OF the democratic convention for
sheriff.
1t looks as if Mr. Luker had Temporarily with
drawn from the Union Printing co until after the
fall canvass,
Now we want to say to the Davenport
Gazette and every political mercenary in-
terested in circulating such reports, that
George Luken's withdrawal from the
Union was in consequence of desire to
sell his interest, and desire on the part OF
the purchasers to buy it; and that while
there was no thought OF Mr., Luken becom-
ing Democratic candidate for any office,
the fact that he Is Democrat was one of
the principal motives for the desire on one
side to sell, and on the other to buy. Mr..
Luken was born Democrat and educated
Democrat, He purchased a quarter in
terest in the Union expressly to take
charge of the job office, thinking that his
political ideas would cut DO figure in that
part Of the business, which was purely
mechanical, and he never interfered, OF
made a suggestion as to the editorial de-
partment OF the newspaper. Notwith-
standing these clearly drawn lines it be-
| came evident in time that the connec ion oil
50 free-spoken Democrat with a repub-
Iican newspaper could not be advantageous
to one or the other and negotiations for a
transfer we're entered into months ago,
which eliminated in an agreement last
week.

Criminal.

Michael McWilliams was picked up 10 a
drunken condition last night by Officer
German. He was taken before Justice
Hawes this morning and plead guilty. The
court assessed fine of SO and costs, in all
S4.50. Michael said that he could not
raise the amount. The court said he must
90 to Jail. Michael thought it was terribly
hard Oh an old citizen and plead hard to be
let off. finally making the proposition to
raise $l.50 for his release. The court,
thinking it better to have something than
nothing, gave him fifteen minutes in which
to raise $3.50 or go to jail. Michael put
on very long face and said he would try
but didn't think he could do it. The
officer accompanied him, tramped around
several blocks and at last Michael went
down into his boot and drew up SIS bill.
He was piloted back to the court and So. SO
taken out of the bill but the court acknowl-
edges be was sold.
