stand-Thoss With GubernatOrisl Bee.
The expected happened. Charley
Searle won out. 1t was a frost for
the other congressional aspirants. 1t
was a stinger for Prince and it gave
McCaskrin chilblains. 1t was a
leadpipe for Searie. The Prince
faction could not expect victory,
neither could McCaskrin. but
they were sufficiently confident of
their strength to hope to land dele
gate here and there. But the latest
reports give Prince three delegates, and
they re in Moline, while the McCaskrins
got what the little boy shot at. The
frigid reception accorded the Gales
burglar had the effect of pushing the
atmospherical indicator downward
about forty points. He kept in touch
with his lieutenants by wire from the
hour the primaries opened till well
into the night, but every succeeding
message seemed more and more as
though the sender was backing up to-
ward the arctic regions. Il told you
so" is the one expression on the lips
of the Searle followers, and now they
are reaching out for other fields TO
conquer, in the belief that they can
muster enough support TO their can
didate TO secure his nomination.
The Prince local followers are look
ing to the other counties in the
district to save their man at the
congressional convention. George
Washington McCaskrin isn't doing
any thinking. His thinker has been
working over time. and is en-
titled to n vacation. After the break
ing CT the news last night, George
bundled himself up and went out
to find a burning deck on which
TO stand. George is suspicious
that all people in his party do
not keep their word. He feels hurt
that he should have been treated SO
shabbily right here at home, where he
has given so freely of his oratory
and political advice. He says the
pesky literary bureau didn't work
worth a cent. The vote in the city
stood: 429 for Searlo, 336 for Prince
and 2lS for McCaskrin. Searle re-
ceived 179 in the First, 226 in the Sec
Ond. 225 in the Third, 21O in the
Fourth, III in the Fifth, 223 in the
Sixth and 1S9 in the Seventh. Prince
got SO in the Third, % in the Fifth,
% in the Sixth and 15S in the Sew
enth. McCaskrin gathered together
rs in the First, 6S in the Second and
- in the Fourth. The understanding
was that Prince and McCaskrin were
in cahoOts.
In the states attorneyship contest,
both j. *. Scott aud II. A. Weld are
claiming Rock Island In Moline
Bert Peek declares he has a safe
ajority of the delegates, while his
rival, sam Odell, is confident he has
at least half of them.
The legislative asPirants. Chris
Gatetjer, of this city, and G. w. john
son, of Moline, are both wearing
knowing smiles. But Chris was
Dut with his wonderful lamp last
night claiming Rock Island solid,
and intimating he had surprise PAL
ty up his sleeve for Mr.. johnson.
George w. Gamble is reasonably GER
tain Moline at least is for him to n
man for denomination for circuit
clerk, and Louis Eckhart feels about
the same as regards his nomination
for coroner. For the nomination for
surveyor, well, Mr.. Darling is hope
full.
