cute most aggressive canvass, and TO.
day, in consequence thereof, his flag
floats proudly from nearly every domicile
in nearly every quarter of Rock Island.
Mr.. Corbett went into this campaign, to
win, and be will flight it out on this Hne
if it takes all summer" AS city attorney
he will be most vigilant guard ian of the
citys best interests.
JAMES M. BUFORD,
our candidate for treasurer. is another
gentleman who requires no extended intro
duction to the people of city in which
he has lived and done business so many
years For several terms in early days
he was honored with the position in which
the voters of Rock Island are determined
TO place him next Tuesday. and he always
discharged the duties of that position
with marked acceptance. Mr.. Buford's
majority should be an emphatic one, and
it is likely to be if the electors turn out in
their might.
If everybody who runs for Office could
be as reaso nably certain of election as
Mr.
JOHN ASTER
is for the supervisorship, there would be
but little lying awake. o'nights. Years
ago Mr.. Aster twice defeated the previ-
ously invincibfe representative of
republicanism for the same posi-
ton, and he passed into local
history as one of the very best supervis
ors that we ever had. When again in the
board as our representative he will show
the voters that he has not forgotten how
to look after the best interests of his con
stftuents, without distinction of party
FOR ASSISTANT SUPERVISORS
four most excellent names have been pre-
scented. those of Messrs Peter Farrell,
Andrew Hoffman, John w. Stark and
Martin F. OReilly All are gentlemen
well and favorably known in this city,
either professionally or otherwise, and all
would go into the board with clear I'M
derstanding of general requirements. 1t
is to be hoped that Rock Island may be
so fortunate az To have them for its rep
JOHN BARGE
is the name of another cold liner, whose
nomination for assessor is one of the very
best in every way which could possibly
have been made. He is thoroughly con-
versant with real estate values in Rock
Island, is man of strict integrity and
most excellent judgment and should re-
ceive the vote Of every taxpayer in the
city. A vote for John Barge for assessor
mans vote for an intelligent assessment
of every dollars worth of property in

FOR COLLECTOR.
No better person could have been
named than Mr. John F. McKibben, the
genial and thorough going business man
who so worthilY represents the interests
of the American Express Company il
Rock Island Mr.. McKibben was awarded
the honor of the nomination On his merits,
and as his strength is not confined to his
own political party we look confidently
for his election by handsome majority
despite the fact that he is running against

opponents could name. In the race for |

THE ALDERMANIC NOMINATIONS
In the First ward, we have Mr.. Gustav |
'tengel, most reputable business man
nd a gentleman who is looked upon with |
great degree of favor by people of all |
PARTIES. On several occasions heretofore
tTr. Stengels name has been favorably |
mentioned in connection with the office,
rat he has invariably stepped aside and
worked like a beaver for the election of
mother. Now that he has received the
domination, which IS equivalent to an
lection, no worthier or more faithful
than he will be found in
he city council.
In the Second ward Alderman nj. 8.
We'll is a candidate for reelection. 1t
.oes without saying that Mr.. O'Neil is
ne of the very best men in the council
BILE and watchful, and no eulogium from
ny source is needed to convince his con-
tituents or the people of the city that he
} most emphatically the man who should
epresent the Second ward for another
erm
Then there's Alderman George W.
Ienry, candidate for reelection from the.
bird ward, who is one of the 'old relia-
les" of the council and a wheelhorse of
be democratic party. Mr.. Henry, as the
IRGUs has said before, is really one of
he most useful members of the council
nd none of its members would be more
realty missed. Whether in committee
r on the floor, Mr.. Henry is cautious and
rudcnt yet enterprising, and when good
ard work is to be done is alwaysswilling d
, carry more than his share. In the
resent campaign the friends of Mr..
CHS competitor for the nom
iation,) are doing all they can to make
is majority a big one and when their turn

Dmpliment fourfold.
