JOURNALISTIC PoLITENEssi

The Union of this morning designaies
Aldermen Mott and Lundy as "kcken
because they opposed the location Of a.
electric tower on Second avenue and Mar
ket Square. In justice to these gentle
men, it should be stated that they Favored
the location of tower further south on
Seventeenth street, so as to illuminate
greater area of territory. The location Of
the tower on Third avenue and Seven
teenth street was originally agreed upon
by the committee appointed to locate such
towers, and it was owing to vigorous other
"kickers" as the Unaon elegantly expresse,
it, that the location was finally changed
The vote in the council on the change was
so close that it required the vote of the
Mayor to adopt the ordinance, showing
that the 'kickers" so called, and the
''non-kickers" are about evenly divided
1t is to be regretted that Aldermen cannot
consistently oppose measure, without
being called names by that English funny
paper known as the Rock Island JHioa.
