The democratic party mas not in a
city-township election in Rock ISL
and before been more advantageous
ly situated than it is this year, as a
result of last nights convention at
Turner hall. The ticket named is q
strong one in every essential partic.
ular. The nominees are all repre-
sent alive citizens, and their choice is
the result of wise and harmonious
deliberation attended by the enthu-
siastic approval on the part Of the
party representatives, which will
win a similar manifestation by the
people April Z. The convention was
largely attended, and in addition to
the fact that the best of feeling pre-
dominated, there was q disposition
to acquiesce in whatever tended to
subserve the interests of the party
and the people, and there was not
that rush and scramble for personal
recognition AMI gain that marked
the convention at the old court
house two evenings before. The re-
suit is ticket of which to be proud,
o ticket which contains all the best
elements of the party, and one which
the people may properly be asked to
approve with no fear of the answer.

city-township committee, called the
convention to order and suggested

Of the heart burnings that character
lied the recent convention of our
friends. the enemy. Let US act with
wisdom and in spirit of harmony
such as will command the confidence
and Endorsement of the people. This
done there can be no question about
the result. The ticket so named will
win.

proposed for secretary, aud he was
