Notes.
Republicans won the election in
Rock Island county yesterday through
a grand final rush, backed by the adj
vantages of liberal amount of cash.
While the democrats of Rock Island
had through the last stages of the
campaign to contend with the same
disadvantages that the party through
out the country has in the cry to sus-
tain the administration as against a
foreign foe and to take no chances on
congressional or legislative candi-
dates, the democratic county ticket
was holding it's own, with the outlook
decidedly in it's favor. especially in the

w. Hurst, as minority represen-
tative. 1t is fortunate for the dis
trict that Mr.. Hurst is a democrat,
for were he republican he would not
have been selected for the Office. as it
is not the policy of the 2. o. p. to
select its most representative men for
the .law-making branch of the state
government.
Mr.. Hurst is man who is known
throughout the state, and whose abil-
ity is recognized wherever he is
known. With the experience and
prominence that were his in his for
mer term in the legislature, he may
be regarded as formidable candidate
for the speakership of the house, which
is democratic.
And if Mr.. Hurst makes up his
mind to go after the honor he will
win If

cases of sheriff and treasurer as late
as week ago. This was true. not
withstanding the unavoidable effect of
the INSCRIPTIONS practices resorted to
by the republican party throughout
the country. and in Rock Island in
particular, in, as stated above. Great
ing sense of apprehension that was
in nowise warranted. Republicans
know that democrats possess the vir-
tue that puts country above the
claims of party, and that while the
appeal which caught their support
this time was in the name of country,
it was in behalf of the repu blican
party, as subsequent events will fully
demonstrate. But it worked, and
added to this advantage, the
republicans in the closing days
of the campaign-as late as last
Saturday-received an abundant sup
ply of the filthy but useful to be ap-
piled in downing the democratic tick
ct with instructions to direct special
efforts to the offices of sheriff and
treasurer.
Faithful Took Hope.
From that moment the party repre-
sentatives grew bold. The old famil-
lar faucet was turned on at the corner
and the fund flowed into the
channels of the republican ranks.

lican losses in the state of Illinois is
also true of Rock Island, though not
in proportionate measure.
The attached table shows returns
from Rock Island and Moline, the fig

plete. owing to the delay in bringing
