at the residence of VIM. RoystoD, April
10th. Mr.. Thos. j. Blue, of Henderson,
Ills, to Miss, Hattie G. Rice, of Moline.
RGTThe Union, with its usual disregard
for facts, states this morning that Mayor
Wheelock sold his horse, Ripple, aged two
years, to j. B. Richards, of Cambridge,
yesterday, for $500. This is what Mayor
Wheelock says about it: The horse I
sold is named Riddle. and the man to whom
| sold it is named j. B. Nichols. | have
horse by the name of Ripple. four years
old, which would not take four times $500
for" 1t will be seen by the above that the
amount paid for the horse was the only
point the Union got correct. Mr.. Vince
lock requested as to make this correction
as he does not want the report to go abroad
that he is selling such horses as Ripple for
$500.
used by the republicans in the Fourth ward
is that Mr.. Miller, the nationals candidate
tor Alderman, is very incompetent and
altogether unreliable man, and that he
would be disgrace to the city council if cleo
ted, therefore democrats ought to support
Barnard in order to keep Miller from being
elected. How absurd. 1t Miller is elected
the democrats will net be held responsible
for his election or conduct after election.
They perhaps tell no more than the truth
about Miller, but as we'll use the argument
the other way and say to the republicans
vote for Wright and thus preclude the
possibility of Millers election. THE AR
gus says to democrats, stand by your candl-
dates and have done with bargain and sale,
and you will command the respect of your
own and all other parties
sN%The republicans in the Fourth ward are
industriously circulating the report that
Mr. A. S. Wright, democratic candidate
for alderman of that ward, is not going to
run and that all the democrats are going
to vote for H. A. Barnard, the republican
candidate This is malicious lie, gotten
up by the republicans, who are thoroughly
scared at the prospect of good business
man like Mr.. Wright, who is head and
shoulders above either of the other candi-
dates in intellect and ability, although he
is small in stature, -entering the contest
against the Fourth wards pet republican.
Let no democrat be deceived by republi
can misrepresentation, but stand firmly
by your candidate and let the republican
ring know that you are not to be led around
with string any longer. It is time to look
for some other man when Mr.. Wright an
nounCes over his signature that he declines,
which you can rest assured he will not do.
Bag Fourth ward voters say it is very
amusing to hear Alderman Barnard try to
convince them that he is not in favor of
the narrow gage railroad coming down
Sugar Hollow. 1t is equally entertaining to
listen to the republican ringsters trying to
smooth that matter over and saying 'ot
course Barnard would not vote for it if the
property owners sdid not desire it." How
very sensible that sounds and what a natural
conclusion, provided you knew nothing OF
the man or his record on the question.
Every body knows or should know that
no longer ago than Wednesday night Mr..
Barnard voted in the council meeting IN
favor of the ordinance giving the railroad
company the right of way, and that liz
the face of petitions bearing the names OF
over DO of the largest property owners in
that immediate vicinity demonstrating
against it. Strange, isn't it, that MIR
Barnard should have become imbued with
so much respect for the property owners
request in so very short time? Does any
one think that the approaching alder
manic election had any thing to do with
this Revision of views recently experienced
BY Mr.. Barnard?
E9TThe workingmens national -
greeuback ward delegates met at Recess
, Hall last evening and nominated II. II
Grover as their candidate for the Office o.
police magistrate. 1t was close fght
{ between the more respectable element
who favored A T. Swander, and the com
, munists, bummers and those who expec
to have business before the police court
who were in favor of Grover or any one
else to beat Swander, who they claim ha
' been too severe on the drunken. rowdy
bruisers, recognizing 10 favorites and in
! flcting punishment commensurate Will
their offenses.
The vote on the formal ballot stood
Grover Is, Swander Is, and pretty fairl.
represents the opinions of their part,
, throughout the city. While some OF then
e who desired Mr.. Swander for their candi
e date will now vote for Grover simply be
y cause he is on their ticket, there are
/ great many who will not be whipped int
:. the traces and declare openly that the
will vote and work for Swander, becaus
he is the best fitted man for the position
The leaders OF the party are alarmed a
. this and have issued orders for an assemb
= ling of their followers at Reese's Ha
: next Monday evening when they will at
i tempt to rekindle the waning enthusiasm
g and stir up the animal passions through
g the fundamentally of brass horns, bas
drums and windy orators.
