1t is our painful duty to announce the
death of Mr.. William Johnston, of Cordo
va. on Saturday afternoon last, of cholera
morbus. Mr.. Johnston was justice oil

the community where he lived and also
where he was known. At the.time of his
death he was II years of age, and had
been in Cordova since 1855. at which time
he came from the southern part OF the
state of Illinois, where he had removed
from New Jersey, of which place he wat

brought up as carpenter. and!was actively
engaged In business till within week oil

the fatal illness Mr.. Johnston was
married before he came to this communi-
ty and had large family, all of whom are
grown up and married. His wife was an

About the most complete fzzle of the
paign was the Republican club meet
ing on Saturday night at Darts Hall.
There were not mere than so present, il
that many. aud as for enthusiasm it was
not to be found in the hall. The meeting
did not organize until nearly o'clock and
even at that hour, it was hard job to get
a quorum. The old wheel horses of the
Republican party we're appointed CON-
mittee to get up meeting and Tuesday
named as the evening upon which it should
be-held, and then after some talk about
the Garfield and Arthur club. q young
mems organization, which the old party
managers did not seem to take kindly to,
probably for fear the latter might want
some of the Offices. the club adjourned.
The Republicans of Rock Island are
woefully lacking in enthusiasm and thus
far have shown absolutely no interest
whatever. The knowing ones realize
that 1T is hopeless contest and that
Hancock will be elected, With this con-
clusion comes the resolve to take il in
matter OF course" sort of way, and not
sweat over Garfield,
