Miller,s Love for the First Ward

The old saying that circumstances
alter cases was perhaps never more
strikingly illustrated than by the
manipulation of Chief Miller in his
present endeavor to square himself
and the McConochie contingent with
the people. While he is racing
around down town making promises
and begging the suffrages of the
people who reside in the slough dis
tricts he forgets his sympathetic re-
marks to them last spring when the
high water threatened the destruc-
ton of hundreds of homes. When
appealed to for protection, instead of
making arrangements for their relief
they were met by the blunt reply
from the chief of police that they
had no business living in the slough
Although they are saying but little
they have not forgotten the kind re-
marks of Mr.. Miller.

Conochie's Jig is up, and all the
money that Steve Collins can raise
and all the work he can do, can't
save him.
George Sutcliffe, the wall paper
dealer, is pushing things to the
point. The fine trade of Davenport
and Moline is getting posted as to the
class of goods he keeps in stock and
he is doing rushing business, as he
well deserves and knows how to ham
die. He is looking out for still more
trade which he will get beyond a
doubt.
A merciful providence will spare
Mayor McConochie a painful predic-
ament tomorrow by defeating his
third term aspirations. With the
conflicting promises and pledges
made by him: not only as regards
after election appointments, but on
questions of public policy, he would
find himself in much more embar-
RAISING position than he has so far,
were it possible for him to be elected.
To show how far off the McCono-
chieites are in their calculations and
with what faint hearts they are work
they are begging for support up town
under the representation that the
three lower wards are for McCono-
chic, they are peddling it about down
town that McConochie has a cinch on
the three upper wards. One repre-
sentation is as reliable as the other.
Davenport's city election held Sat-
urday resulted in the triumph of the
entire democratic ticket as follows:
For mayor, Henry Vollmer, 1850;
James r. Nutting, 1885. For city
clerk. NC. Martin, 2,753; J. S. Alt
man, 1,204. For treasurer, l.. H.
Rick, 2,69S; S. ID. Bawden, 1,263.
For magistrate, John j. Ryan, 5000;
q. Metzgar, 1854. For assessor. f.
Peck, 2,S09; j. F. Newbern. LISP
The democrats also elected five out of
six aldermen.

TALMAGE'S CHURCH DEBT.

New YORK, May, IS, 1s93.-The Rev, 7.
Dewitt Talmage reiterated his statement
this morning that he would resign as pas
tor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sunday
next unless the Indebtedness on the ediice
was cleared off by that time. He referred
to the floating debt, which amounts to
about s1o0, 600. He says that he is tired,
and not only tired, but worried over the
inability to meet his indebtedness. He
feels grateful, however, for what has al
ready been done by his friends. He thinks
there are others who would be more sue
cesstul in raising money than he is.
