through England with ali the pomp aud
circumstance that a grand combination

pect. aud has made money at a rate that
would drive even successful theatre
manager crazy with delight. Between his
lecture work and that of the popular
show" there have been numerous points
Of resemblance; there has been the ad-
vance agent who billed tho towns and saw
to it that public sentiment was as it should
be; there were the crowds that fiGcked to
the box Office. and other crowds, that,
having no money. ought at least stand
patiently to see the distinguished perfor-
mer as be stepped from his carriage or
omnibus and entered the place in which
the performance was to be given. The
crowds that hocked to his sermons were
nearly as big as Rowel would draw if he
were to place himself on free exhibition
in some conspicuous place to morrow
as big. indeed, as that which would
flock to the hanging of some popular
criminal that was about to leave the world
for the benefit of his fellow creatures.
Andswhat has been the effect upon rel-
giou of all this ostentatious show? How
many bad men has it Influenced to lead
good lives, AUDI how many earnest. prac-
teal Christians has it strengthened?
and Irishmen, like every one
else in the civilized world, are at present
inclined to sift all religious theories and
pretensions very closely and retain only
what seems to be worth keeping. After
Mr.. Talmage's work in the British Islands

a large number of conservative Republl-
cans who are opposed to ring rule aud who
desire to see county affairs managed IN an
honest and efficient manner te- the best
interests of all the people, and not 10 the
interest of any ring or set of men. The
nominee for Treasurer, Mr.. James Taylor.
is one of the best known farmers IN the
county-a man of integrity, honesty and
unimpeachable chai acter, "a man, 10 TACT,
whose private and public life will with
stand the closest scrutiny and whose rec
ord is without stain.
Mr.. Flanagan. Ihe nominee tor coroner,
is Democrat of the strictest school, has
been a constable sud as such made an
efficient officer. There is no reason te
doubt that the same attention to duty vii
be the rule with him if elected to fill ths
position OF coroner. The Democrats Of
Rock Island county. owe it to themselves
aud the party to see to it that every Dem
ocratic vote is lpolied, and that the Domi'
nees of the convention are elected. Now
that the contest is fairly begun, let a Dem

now until the polls close in November
If the Democratic voters of this county
will unite for work and use their best en-
deavors to get out full vote, there is
good chance to elect the entire ticket
| Let every Democrat go to work at onc'

legitimate expenses were paid.
The net amount after deducting all ex-
peuses was $3s. 9O9.5O, divided as follows:
Rowell. $4,000: Merritt, $77.3i2; Hazael,
