EAGER FOR THE FRAY.
called TO Prepare for the Approach
ing Election,

ing Election,
The democratic city committee held a
large and enthusiastic meeting at THE
ARGUS office last evening. The outlook
for the approaching city election was dis
cussed and it was determined to issue a
call for q ward caucus on Saturday night
TO nominate candidates for aldermen and
to select delegates to the city-township
convention to De held at Turner hall
Monday night.
The spirit of the meeting was that the
democracy had never before entered upon
canvass with such glowing outlook
for clean sweep. 1t is only necessary
to nominate the proper candidates to win
and this the dem ocrats propose to do. and
inspired by the glorioas victory of last
fall, they will present an invincible 'front.'
at the approaching election.
In decided contrast with the disposition
of the republican committee to prolongue
final action is the promptness and deter
mination with which the democrats acted
last night. The evident idea of the re-
publicans is to delay nominations until
the last possible moment, to the end that
the campaign may be as short as pos
sible. To give the voters hut four days
in which to scrutnize their nominations
does not show a great deal of confidence
on the part of the G. o. p. of Rock Island
at the present time.

A NEW YORK SENSATION.

NEW YORK, Oct. l3-The dismissal of
President John Hoey of the Adams Ex-
press company came as a complete sur
prise to the business community. Many
men prominent in business affairs did not
hear of the dismissal until today, although
the decisive action was taken by the board
of directors of the company at a meeting
held last evening Vice-President Clapp
Spooner, at the same meeting, handed in
his resignation. Both men are charged
with malfeasauce in Office. The alleged
malfeasance in Office, for which President
Hoey was removed and VicePresident
Spooner was allowed to resign, was the
sale by the two officers and others of the
Boston Dispatch Express company and the
klnsley Express company.
At a meeting of the board of the Adams
Express company today Henry Sandford
of Bridgeport, Conn, was elected presi-
dent and Frederic Loveioy vice president,
to succeed Hoey and Spooner. All the
members Of the board were present, with
the exception of Spoonor. MT. Sandford
arose and asked Hoey to resign his posi
tion on the board of directors. Hoey fatty
refused He said the directors could put
him out of the presidency, but that it was
beyond their powers to displace him as
director. No objection was made to his
sitting as member and casting his vote
Some of the members are of the opinion
that they have the power to eject him.
This matter will be referred TO the counsel
of the board for an opinion.
