A REPRESENTATIVE of the worlc

A REPRESENTATIVES, of the World
interviewed Senator Edmunds few
days ago on matters political. He
thinks the Republican party should
come west for its presidential candi-
date and select clean-handed, able
man, who has good record on finan-
cial matter. and in the event of such
selection he believes the chances are
seven in ten for Republican success.
He points out the fact that with the
solid south the Democrats only need
to carry New York TO have q majority
in the Electoral college, and the Re-
publicans must make a nomination
that will commend itself to the EN-
pire State. This Is unfortunately
true, and the judicious dispensation Of
patronage in that state by Cleveland,
bracing the unterrified sufficiently to
hold them in line and keeping the
mugwumps well hooked up by letting
them boss the job, will make hard
work for the Republicans. Edmunds,
Of course, knows that neither he nor
Conkling are available in the coming
campaign. Blaine's friends would
not accept them under any circum-
stances. Who he means, II anybody
In particular, by "going west for can
didate," is not SO clear. ''The west" Is a
large country. He may have been mere
ly enunciating general principle, or he
may have In mind some particular per-
son-possibly Logan; more probably
John Sherman, who would carry New
York state against Cleveland, Hill or
any body. And besides that, he
would make most admirable presi-

For the past few months the city Of

corporations have been lodging around
the country adjacent to the city, but
their movements were clouded with a
mystery impenetrable. 1t has been set

from The Daily Bulletin of Saturday last;
Triumphed at last! The city of Free

telegram received from Chicago by the
Bulletin this morning from Mayor Berg
man, brings the cheering information
that the Chicago, Madison & Northern
railroad shops and division headquarters

information is the result of an interview
had by Mayor Bergman, G, ]. Fry, Alder

Freeport with General Manager Z, T.

pany the Malleable Iron company's plant
consisting of extensive buildings and
about nire acres of ground. lying at the
southern limits OF the city. This plant
cost the company nearly 100000. but

a success. the property is about TO be
purchased for S25, 900 BY the liberal eli
zenS of FreeEOrt for presentation to the
railroad company, which will locate its
division shops and twenty four engine

AT the meeting with the committee at
his office in Chicago today General Mana,

$50 men would be employed at these
shops. That means an addition to the
population of Freeport within few

Public Welfare vs. seirlntere-t

One of the reasons raised by the repub.
licans why Mr.. Gest should be the next
congressman from this district, is the fact
that he is o Rock Island man and will be
more apt to look after The interests of the
upper end of the district, the Hennepin
canal, etc. An Illustration of the fact
that Mr.. Niece is fully as competent as
Mr.. Gest to represent the community,
and to insure the passage of the Hennc>
pin canal. was shown yesterday. Mr..

and, an attentive listener to the proceed
ings before the Hennepin canal commits

to express his views there, Congressman
Niece said that though living one hun
bred miles south of here, it was a prop
osition that would be for the interest of
Rock Island and the entire northwest,
and he was therefore earnestly in favor
Of it.
This'is very good example of self in :
interest VS. public welfare. and the fact
that MIR. Niece has seen fit to- be
present at one of the most important
meetings concerning the welfare of Rock
Island, and Mr.. Gest was not, is proof
that he works for Rock Island in con.
gress as energetically as Mr. Gest would
