Tomorrow in Rock Island occurs
the momentOus event for which the
repu biican factions in the county
have been preparing ever since the
memorable love feast" at Springfield
determined the limit of the present
tenancy of the executive mansion at
the state capital, and invited the compe-
tition for future occupancy now being
waged and which has involved quite
seriou.ly the question of how much
longer one Shelby NJ. Cullom will
wear the senatorial toga.
The convention is called to assem- bic
at the Rock Island county court
house at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, but 10 anticipation of the unusual
crowds which are likely 10 be drawn
to the place of meeting by the rivalry
for the nominations to be acted upon
either by Endorsement or formal nam
ing, the present plan is to devote the
morning session merely to the APP
appointment OF committees and then
ad journ to meet directly after dinner
at Han per's theatre.
What the Convection May DO.
The convention will declare with a
whoop for Searle for congress, but
will be obliged to choose between
Chris Gactjer, of this city, and
George w. johnson, of Moline, for
representative, and then to select n
candidate for states attorney from
among the quartet composed of
j. w. Scott and II. a. Weld. of this
city, and Il. +. Peek and S. W. Odell,
of Meline. The nominations for the
Offices of circuit clerk, coroner aud
surveyor will 60 to the present incum-
bents in short order, unless the pre-
ceding events recipitate a state of
affairs that will produce other results.
The convention will attempt to steer
clear OF an expression on the question
OF gubernaturial candidates, but know
ing ones in the party say Reeves will
be favored.

Republican Primary So Decides and Breaks
Up with "A Scunle.


Up with "A ScufIle.
In the Black Hawk repu blican pri-
marics at Milan Saturday night, the
Prince faction won out easily by a
vote of So to 80. The extreme cold
kept away many from the country,
where, it is claimed, Searle is the fa-
vurite, but the strong organization of
Princes machine in this township
would undoubtedly have proved in
viucibie in any kind Of weather. The
caucus came near following the estab-
lished custom of republican gather
ings and breaking up in row. As it
was there was an informal rough and
tumble at the close.
Moline Before All the World.
In order, presumably, to contribute
as far as in him lies to the establish
ment of concord in the disrupted
ranks of the party, +. &. Allen, of Mo
line, publishes in yesterdays Union,
under the caption of "A Vigorous De-
nial,' statement. In this he de
clares, anent the reported Searle com
bine with him, that he controls no
vote but his own, and that 1.-The
charges are false in every particular" "
MT. Allen SclLcS the opportunity 10
announce with emphasis that he is for
Moline men first, Rock Island county
second and the outsiders afterward,
and that he would not exchange his
vote for a Moline man "for Reeves.
Searle or any other outsider. that he
will do all in his power for Walter
Reeves, in an honorable way, to Sc
cure support for him, but not to the
detriment of the candidacy of Mo-
line man or any Rock Island county
man. 1t will no doubt be cheering
news to the republicans of the county
to know that in the chairman of their
county committee they have one who
takes so pronounced a stand for Rock
Island county-after Moline has been
fed. In the same connection il will
doubtless be a happy thought to Mr..
Searle that Moline mas not congress
sional candidate.
