Over $500 was put up in election bets
at the Rock Island house this morning,
with all the odds in favor of the republi
can ticket, except that 800 was bet even
on Illinois going for Palmer.
The Union of this morning INDUCES in
bit of somewhat surprising sarcasm. 1t
SAYS: For the legislature let US vote for
- no inefficient men, but such men as Mr..
Crawford" etc.
Ex>Congressmsn W. H. Neece and
Hon. Jonas Olson. of Galva, speak at
Armory hall, Moline, this evening. Go
up and hear Mr. Neeces views of the
back>pay bill.
Mr.. Gest failed to appear on the ross
trum with Mr. Prentiss at Harper's thea
tire last evening, and notwithstanding the
republican bugaboo about the republi>
cans helping to draw crowds for the dem
ocrats, the house was fairly jammed.
1t is reported that when Hon, John G,
Bills was asked TO take the stump in be-
half of Harrison and McManus, be de-
clned to do so, stating that he always
spoke as he voted, and that this year the
voting would not be done to maintain
war taxation. Democrat
Gazette
Geo. " Woodruff addressed a good
sized audience in Vogel's hall, Rapids
City. on Wednesday evening. Mr.. Wood
ruff is good speaker and made some
telling hits on the leading issues of the
day. Our county ticket, and national as
well, is sure of a good vote in the Third
precinct of Hampton,
The local republicans sre somewhat
jubilant over the fact that Mr.. r. R. Ca
BILE, president OF the c., R. & P. road,
democrat from heritage and training
has abandoned the democratic party this
year because Of Mr.. Clevelands tariff
ideas and will vote for Harrison. The
republicans do not openly give vent
20 their feelings of joy over thi:
change of faith, nor do they fee
like publishing the fact that when Mr.
Cable was here the other day he said lit
was determined to exert himself and t.
spend money to insure MIR Cleveland
defeat.
Messrs j. H. Walsh, B. Of L. E., anC
VIM. A. Lewis, of the Switchmen's Mu

the democratic party on the ground tina
Paul Morton, of the c., B, & @. is
democrat, Mr.. Walsh said. MIR Nor
ton may be democrat and member q
the lrcquois club, but he has got nothiB
to do with the campaign. We cant bel
his politics any more than we could b
religious views. We are for Palmer th
friend of labor and venture to say ths
nine out of every ten railroad men in til
state will vote for Palmer at the con
ing election. The circular whc
the republicans have sent out signe
by Jesse of Aurora has been denied
detail by Mr. Jesse himself, and even
Mr.. Jesse did write the circular, he wit
the four Others who signed with him al
only that many out OF $50 railroad me
in Aurora who are going to vote fl
Palmer. The attempt of the republican
is to demoralize railroad men and affe
their ballots upon the strength of IL
natural hatred they bear to the c., B.
