The Edgingten Meeting,

There vas a great democratic meeting
OF Edgington last night. 1t was held in
Stoddards hall B. F. Fountaine called
the meeting to order and Addison Rush
was made chairman. He introduced
Messrs. John. T. Kenworthy and E. W.
Hurst who successfully addressed the
meeting. Both gentlemen delivered ex-
celent addresses, full of sound democracy,
and both were frequently applauded by
the audience. 1t was splendid meeting
and the people in old Edgington were
fully enlighted on the political issues Of
the day. Edgington will roll up big
majority for Cleveland and Hendricks on
November 4th, which will be due mostly
to the efforts of Messrs. Kenworthy and
Hurst last evening.

Branching Out.

Mr. Alvin H. Connolly, son of Major
Connolly, is about to become a lumber
merchant. The other day he went out to
Topeka, Kansas, and bought a controll-
ing interest in large lumber yard, and
the latter part of the present week he
will take possession. The firm will be A
H. Connolly & Co. Mr.. Connolly is one
of our most enterprising and brightest
young men and we are sorry to lose him,
but we have no doubt the people of To-
peka will be glad to have such an enter
prising business man come to their city
The business which Mr.. Connolly takes
possession of is well established, and
there is not the slightest doubt of its
success. The many friends of Mr. Con-
nelly will be pleased to hear of his success
in his future home.
Mr.. Connolly bought out David Sidener,
who for many years has controlled the
lumber market of Topeka, and thus il
will be seen, he steps into fine business
at once. The ARGUS among other friends
wishes him abundant success.

A Llheral Official.

Our present deputy circuit clerk, who
wants to be circuit clerk, is very liberal
sort of person. Some time ago, Mark
Ashdown, of Coe, was down here attend
ing court as witness. and his fees
amounted TO 30. Our deputy circuit clerk
sent him check for $500 Mark didn't
notice the mistake until he went to the
bank to have the check cashed when he
discovered that he had check for one
hundred times more money than lie eX>
pected. OF course it was all mistake,
but the way to prevent recurrence OF
such mistakes after the 4th of next month
is to elect George W. Henry, circuit clerk,
and no such errors will take place. Give
the democratic candidate a boom, he
knows SO from $500 and don't You forge,

CORBETT AND CLAUSSEN.
A Splendid Meeting in Franklin Square
brilliant Speeches and Great En-
thusiasm---The People Of the
Lower Part Of the City
Turn Out En- Masse.

The meeting in Franklin square last
night was brilliant success from every
standpoint The Jefferson club met at
Turner hall and were joined at 7:30 by
the Sunnyside club, who came up accom>
panied by military band. The clubs
were formed in line and preceded by
Bleuer's band, marched to Franklin
square. Hundreds of people turned out
along the line to see the clubs as they
marched by. At the stand in the square,
W. H. Lundy, chairman of the demo
cratic city committee, presided. After
music by the band the chairman intro
duced the Hon. Ernst Claussen, mayor of
Davenport. Mr.. Claussen made few
remarks in English in which he said that
he had been requested to address his
fellow countrymen of this city in German.
He wished first, however, to say to his
English speaking friends that the demo-
Gratis were going to elect their ticket this
year. If the republicans of Ohio carried
the state yesterday by less than $4,000
majority, Mr. Claussen said it might be
considered democratic victory. He then
entered upon his address in German.
Those who understood it say that it was
grand effort. He fully exposed the
rottenness of the republican administers
ton and showed up the vile public char
acter of James G. Blaine. He paid q
warm tribute to the true craftsmanship of
Grover Cleveland, and advised his coun>
trymen to vote for the democratic candi~
date and elect him, and thus secure a
pure administration. Mr.. Claussen was
frequently interrupted by loud applause.
After more music by the band, City Attor-
ney COrbett was introduced. He spoke
for half hour in the English language.
His effort was frequently applauded He
gave the people splendid speech and
raked the republican administration and
Blaine from stem to stern. The meeting
was fine one throughout, and the First
ward club, under whose auspices it was
given, are to be congratulated.
