The Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1885-1886, 1886-08-02
A HIGH OLD TINE.
That's What the Republicans Had at
Their Primaries saturday Night
Bad Blood in the Second.

EbEh IA tffe ytJUhu.
All day Saturday the republican politi
clan was abroad in the land, drumming
up voters in the interest of the respective
candidates, and as a consequence nearly
all the caucuses were well attended. As
predicted by the ARGUS the most fun
was ia the Second ward winch was a
sort of Kilkenny affair minus the
shiIlsle rs. Alter the ballots had been
Cast and were counted, TIE lmm1cuiafe
Bear sley stepped Into the en- III he
hose house, and with mighty Voice lu>
troduced resolution insrructing for
Cleaveland and Olsen. This acted like
bomb exploding in an anarchists meet
ing, and psndemonium reigned for some
time. Finally County Treasurer Elem
ing, who is not restricted bg the civil
service act, made an amendment that the
delegates be instructed for Crawford,
which was carried. This capped the eli
max. The good CIeavelaud was forgot
ten in the huboub that followed.
You're liar. and other choice epithets
were freely passed, but the lights were
turned out before any damage was done
The Third ward also instructed for Craw-
ford, but Olsen captured the remainder
of the city. Caucus returns from the
county are very meagre, but the impress
sion seems to be that Morgan will be
nominated for sheriff, Donaldson for
clerk, Burgh for treasurer. and Southwell
for superintendent of schools. Notwth>
standing the treachery shown Olsen in
the city, his friends claim that he will
still capture the convention.
