GEN. BuFoRD's FUNERAL.

The funeral services of Gen. N. b. Blu
ford, held at 10 clock this forenoon al
the residence of Mr.. J. MI. Buford, were
attended by great many old friends OF
deceased from this city and vicinity and
were unusually impressive. The face of
the dead soldier, which was exposed to
view. looked Unexpectedly natural and
life like when the lingering nature of his
ailment is considered and it was great
satisfaction to his friends to be permitted
to look upon it. albeit it was for the last
time Beautiful floral emblems, sickles,
pillow, wreaths, sheaves, ETC., had been
sent in by sympathizing friends and
aided materially in relieving the otherwise
sombre surroundings. After the reading.
by Rev. A. b. Allen, of the Episcopal
service for the dead, the remains were
borne to their last home in the family
burial lot of Col John Buford in Chip
piannock. there to repose until the resur-
rection morn.
The pail bearers were Messrs. james
Taylor, Edgington; Alexander Steel, E. G.
Cropper. w. E. Brooks and William Bell,
of Rock Island, and DR. E. H. Bowman of
Andalusia.

foregcne conclusion for some time past
that if Mr.. Wheelock made a race for
the mayoralty there would be decided
opposition, and that there is, would be
superflnous to state. What makes the
opposing elements SO strong and the
feeling so deep, is that Mr.. Wheelock
Professionally declined to run again until
the day before the convention. Laying
this aside and throwing personalities,
spite and other things to the wind, let US
look at the municipal question fairly and
calmly in the face Let as put it on its
proper basis Moline has recognized Mr.
Wheelock thrice by placing him at the
head OF our municipal government. Only
two other men have ever held the office of

strength. The people desire II change.
It would seem. by the action of the re
publican convention on Thursday night,
the people wanted Mr.. Wheelock again,
but what is the wish OF a handful of
henchmen to the populdce OF Proud Mo
line?" The nomination. was not even
made unanimous Why? Simply be
cause t was not the sentiment Of that
convention. The cry of reform has been
circulated throughout every state from
| the Atlantic to the Pacific, in every shire
and Municipality, and in our proud city
it has been echoed the length and breadth
| of our Streets its business houses, and in
| the homes of the people. There never
was so strong feeling as exists to day,
that Mr. Wheelock should be retired. He
has received all the emoluments that his
party could bestow upon him. He has
received all the honors that the people
could shower upon him, and now
the people desire and will have change.
The almost unanimous choices of the
people seems to have fallen upon Edward
B. Knox. of the Third ward. and
the ARGUS dominates him to lead the in
dependent ticket to victory and success.
That he will be nominated at the peoples
convention there is no doubt, and it the
feeling for change is any criterion he
will be elected by a rousing majority.
