Vote for Henry F. J. Kicker.
OUR TICKET.
1t Heets With General Favor in the
Upper End Of the County---sit-
uation at Port Byron.

Editor Argus:
| PORT BYRON, OCT 30.--As the cam,
paign is about closed 10 this end of the
county. presume you would like 10 be
| informed rs to the situation here, by one
of the faithful. One would think BY
reading some of the republican organs
that are being circulated lavishly I'D this
| way, that the entire vote of this part of
| the county was going to be cast for the
republican candidates, unanimously. You
see that the 9. o. p. has not lost its
reputation for ''clalming everything. >
1t is good thing 10 have faith, but votes
are what is needed at the present time,
and | can assure you that the democrats
ic and peoples tickets will get their full
share, the Port Byron Globe, to the con-
trary notwithstanding. Some time since
when the Union tried to lash the Globe men
into line for not being free, fearless and
republican, they devoted about a half col
umn informing the Union and the public
that they were non-politicsl; they were
independent; that they knew no party,
but We see in this weeks issue, that its
columns are now used for the benefit of
the republican candidates, with the ex-
Ception of Mr.. Schafer.
John Schafer for county treasurer.
will go out of this place with majority,
and Coe, Yuma, Canoe Creek and Cor
doya will give him almost as liberal a
vote. Therefore, if the voters of
Moline and Rock Island, and the lower
end give him their usual vote. lie will
snow Martin Burgh under by 400 major
ity. The republicans have worked hard
to ind something they could use against
Mr. Schafer, but have, of course, failed,
and some of them who know him, con,
coed his election.
Mr.. Silvis. our candidate for sheriff,
VIII not only get the full party vote here.
but will run ahead of his ticket in every
precinct in this end of the county, al
though the republicans have made their
fight on the sheriff here. and their organs
in the county have lost no opportunity
to def9me his character, abuse and Stand
er him; IN fact they have done everye
thing in their power 10 lower him in the
estimation of the voters, regardless of
the truth. They have gone SO far that it
is reactiDg In his favor. Some republi
cans who were in quandary as to which
candidate to support. have come out for
Silvis. The voters know that he is hon
est, capable and attentive to his business,
and don't take any stock in such insinua-'
lions as made by Rev. Morgan during
his Moline speech, some time since re-
tiecting on Mr.. Silvis' honesty. He has
served the people for some time and no.
body has found fault Some other man
wants his office is the only trouble now
Mr.. Silvis is man everybody likes; peo>
pie of all classes can do business with
him and receive no offense, no matter
what business they desire to transact in
that office, and the people don't want a
man there so fanatical on certain sub
jeCtS as to make himself offensive to any
patron, no matter what is his GRAND
there. Silvis is the man for the office,
and We predict his election by good,
solid majority.
As TO Mr.. Niece, we have no doubt
whatever of his election The repuhli,
cans have only rehstched what arsu
meuts they have had heretofore. and they
fall fiat. The democratic and peoples
party will support him to man. and
that assures his election. Mr. Gest has
not created the enthusiasm expected
by the republicans, and will not get a
single vote that was cast for Mr.. Neece
at the last election.
Mr.. Wilson, canidate for county judge.
made US friendly call a few days since,
and We understand from Rock Island au-
thGrty that he is making it hot for Ad
ans. Give US a good, live man in this
office-everybody knows the people want
it-and we think Mr.. Wilson is Just the
man.
II all our voters will come out as
they should do, and vote our ticket
straight, we will give all our candidates
q good majority and break up the ring
