nyside boys made their appearance,
marching in twos, under command of
Capt. VOss. Mr.. August Huesing was
made temporary chairman, and stated that
Mr.. B. T. Cable, the president of the club,

notified of his election, he would appoint
committee to inform Mr.. Cable of his
election as president, and also to escort
him to the chair. Messrs NJ. NJ. Briggs,
Daniel DAILY and E. W. Hurst were
appointed as such committee, and
after performing the duty assigned
them, Mr.. Cable made a short address,
thanking the clu b for the honor conferred
and assuring the members that he would
carry out the trust imposed upon him
On taking his seat he was vociferously
apPlauded. The principal business before
the meeting was to decide about going to
Davenport on Wednesday evening. 1t

The Moline democrats put up their
splendid flag Saturday afternoon over
Main street, one end of it being attached
to the building used as republican head
quarters. The republican flag looked so
woe>be-g gone and sickly by the side of the
bright and clean democratic emblem, that
some of the party leaders took it down.
We suppose after they give it good
washing, and cover up the "tatooed'
places in its anatomy, that it will again
be allowed to droop in its accustomed
place.
