didates the more the democratic township
ticket is discussed, the more popular it
becomes. The nominees from first to
last are exceptionally strong, and are
greeted with the most gratifying enthus-
iasm on every side.
Mr.. John Aster, the candidate for su.
pervisor. has already served the city
zealously and faithfully on the county
board. He served for three sue.
cessiYe terms following 1879, when
he re.Ired voluntarily. but was nom
mated again in 1882, and was
reelected four times in succession.
when he again withdrew. He has been
in business in Rock Island as baker and
merchant for twenty seven years. He
came here first in 1851 poor boy, and
through his own effort and labor was en-
abled to start in business for himself
That he has been successful is due alone
to the honorable, upright, plucky and
persevering course he hes pursued,
Every body likes Hone st John 4 ster and
every body admires him, and his record as
county supervisor has been fully salts,
factory to those who have stood by MN
at the polls in the past and will do so
this year.
Of the candidates for assistant SUPER
visors Mr.. Arthur Burial represents one
of our Oldest, most highly esteemed fans
ilies--himself lifelong democrat, one
who has always labored for the party's
interest, and having already served ac-
cepta bly, rs a member of the county
board, his selection is peculiarly foru-
nate one.
For assistant supervisor also, Mr.. Geo.
E. Browner is as popular choice as could
be made. He is one of the influential
young members of the party, as well as
one of our promising young business
men. He is the proprietor of the Elm
street grocery. and was, previous to en-
barking in business for himself, a mail
carrier, in which capacity he made many
friends. He is capable, honest and pro-
gressiSe-fully qualified for the duties
that are to be intrusted to him on cleo
ton day.
MI. WInslow Howard, at present com,
pleting his second term as alderman from
the First ward, is also a nominee for
supervisor. The same methods which
have characterized his career as member
of the municipal assembly will be carried
out in the county board and his election
therefore is q foregone conclusion. He
Is of pushing, conservative disposition
and all responsibilities entrusted to him
Will be safe. He is glass blower in the
Rock Island glass works.
Mr.. J. S. Darrah, the fourth candi-
date of the democracy for assistant SUI
pervisor, is member Of the Third avenue
grocery firm of Msucker & Darrah. is a
thoroughgoing business man, democrat
of many years standing. q straightfor-
ward. energetic man and his nomination
is sufficient to insure his election.
The nomination of MIR. John Barge
for assessor for the seventh consecutive
time is convincing proof of the confidence
reposed in him by his own party, and
his election repeatedly, shows with what
regard he is held as an officer by the peo-
pie of Rock Island. Fairness and JUS
tice have marked his manner of dischsrg-
ing his important and responsible duties,
and will insure his reelection next Taes-
day.
For collector Mr. David Fitzgerald was
chosen. That the nomination is an
eminently wise one is demonstrated by
the fact that the only charge that has
been raised against him by his political
opponent is that he is street car driver.
He is former Rock Island merchant,
was until recently a mail carrier and since
he was removed from that position in
compliance with the republican civil SER
vice (?) rules, has been engaged in driv>
| ing car on the bridge line. He has
served faithfully as a member of the
county board, and has the ability, indus>
try and good judgment to make good
collector.
For constables the names of Il. II.
Kinball. John Flanagan and Louis Ohl-
weller have been placed on the ticket
TIE first named is ex-mayor of Rock ISL
and and is at present truant officer under
the new compulsory education law;
Mr.. Flanagan has been for years a con-
stable and is thoroughly experienced;
Mr.. Ohlweiler is an active democrat, a
trustworthy young man whom his friends
will delight to honor. and the three will
be elected without a doubt.
