| Delegates TO the various COnVen-
| tions--- RESOLUTIONS and Other Pro
ceedIngs,
The Rock Island county democratic
convention assembled in the court house
pursuant to call this afternoon. Chairs
man August Huesing called the conven-
| ton to order at / :45 and read the call.
Mr.. rIuesing named J. w. We'ch as the
temporary chairman of the convention.

ratified. Upon assuming the chair, mir.
Welch congratulated the delegates upon
the bright prospects before the democracy
all over the county at the present time.

such u convention was an empty honor;
no so now. 1t was now an honor, of
which any man might feel proud, to pre-
side over any convention of party
headed by such man as Grover Cleve>
land. The prospects for democratic sue
cess were apparent not only in the coming
national convention but in this very
state and county. He counseled har~
mony, and predicted that if the right
men were nominated. success would
would be achieved by the democrats
at the next fall election. The names of
Messrs p. c, Simmons of Moline, and
l.. c. Blanding, and ii. NJ. Abel, of this
city were proposed for secretary. Messrs. |
