The republicans of Rock Island

bands of Coxeyites which are roam.

but the local republicans are running
over each other to secure good offices.
The announcement columns of
the republican press are filled to
Overlooking with solicitations for
support by numerous oiiice-scekinp
patriots. and the local columns of the
aforesaid papers are burdened with
biographical sketches tending to
tickle the vanity of the different as
pirants. We are told that MANY of
them have "bled" and all but died in
defense OF their country, and all have
been ''straight-out" republicans from
infancy. The cause of this unusual
" large crop Of candidates is un-
doubtedly traceablc to the republi-
can victories, which have recently
been achieved in municipal and vii
laTe elections. which the aspirants
conclude are going to continue ripbt
along. With an average majority of
l,2O0 in this county, of course.
there has never been Il dearth of can
didates before a republican county
convention, but the scramble is more
general this year than ever, bv reason
OF the prevailing idea that nomina-

there Is the statesman from Edging-

He is laboring under the impression
that two terms in the lower and one in
the upper house of the state lerisla-

towering intellect, and he demands an
other term in the senate. He ex-
pressed himself while in the city the

it is the intention to have the dele

bodily to Candidate Hemenway at a
proper juncture of the proceedings.
1t will not do to be too prccipitate in
this action, as the result might be
disastrous in showing that Moline
was debating the construction of the
entire ticket. which will virtually be
the case. 1t is also on the program
to give the treasurership to Fred

John Boyd Thacher is laconic and deci-
siVe III his statements. During the lively
campaign just closed in New York, this
marked him especially as chairman Of the
Democratic state committee. 1t was equal
ly true OF him as chairman Of the execu-
i've committee on awards at the Worlds
FAR This is the positive and setentous
way in which he verifies in an official let
ter, the honors won by DR.. Prices Baking
Powder: Il herewith enclose you an Off
cial copy of your award, which in due
time will be inscribed in the diploma
and forwarded" Thus the question re-
specting the award, raised by an envious
New York rival is settled beyond cavil.
This same rival, by the way, is widely
advertising an award for itself The off
cial records prove this claim wholly false,
as they show the New York pretender was
not SO much as an exhibitor at the Worlds
Fair.

THE SIGNAL.
Our Christmas.


Christmas came to us with all its
traditional enjoyment Christmas eve
the stars were as brilliant as when
viewed by the shepherds on the plains
of Judea 1894 years ago, and no songs
could be more musical than of the
children gathered to echo once again
the glad tidings of "Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men"
At GOWNS hall at an early hour
the Episcopal Sunday school gath
cred, and after appropriate opening
exercises ''The Night Before Christ
mas was read by Rev. Worthing and
the characters represented by mem
bers of the school. st. Nicholas
made his appearance by way of the
chimney loaded with presents, and
his pack, together with the presents
of the Christmas tree, fully supplied
all.
AT the Congregational church the
gathering was large and the enter.
tainment very enjoyable. Appropri-
ate carols were sung by the school
and the literary program was of more
than usual excellence The tree was
loaded with good things, and truly
happiness ruled the hour. Santa
Claus by this time had reached the
church and with his usual pack and
appropriate words added much to the
hilarity of the scene, and bright and
cheerful it was.
AT the Baptist church was proba-
bly, the largest gathering of all, and a
very delightful program was offered.
A Christmas ladder held the offerings
for old and young, and veritable
Bethel the place seemed 70 many 8
