depth of his party fealty in question,
an 1fairness of spirit, equally as
unfortunate for him, is shown in his
refusal to print McEuiry's name in

FINE POSTAL IMPROVEMENT.

Extension of the Registration of Letters by
Letter Carriers.
The postoffice department has
granted the local postoffice authority
to extend the registration of letters by
carriers so as to include the entire
city, with the exception OF the two
business routes, which extend from
street to Twentieth street
south to Fifth avenue.
Business houses in the residential
districts are not excluded as under the
old rule. Those residing at distance
from the postoffice are especially ben
Gifted, inasmuch as they can have
money or other valuable matter regis
tered at their own door.
This concession from the depart
ment was not obtained without effort.
and it is hoped the public will avail
it self of the advantage offered. The
extension of registration of letters by
carriers will take effect Nov. 5.

ELECTION DAY NEAR
Rock Island Has Its Ear to the
Ground Awaiting Results
at the Polls.
AN HONEST VOTE DEMANDED
Advice as to Safe Way to Choose
in Minority Candidacy
The Returns.

Next Tuesday afternoon at B o'clock
the polls will close on an election
which is to determine the presidency
of the United States for the ensuing
four years and seal the political fate,
temporarily at least, of various
other aspirants for the offices that
are to be filed at this time. In Rock
Island, as throughout the country.
public interest has reached high
tide, but in the closing hours of the
great campaign there is an ominous
sileuce-some have termed it the calm
before the storm, and it is pretty gen.
orally conceded the latter disturbance
will result disastrously to the party
that at present holds the reins of the
national government.
Meetings were held last night by
active democrats in the several wards
of the city and arrangements made
for the checking of every vote that is
cast next Tuesday in the city. The
precaution is taken to insure An hon
est expression at the polls, to prevent
those not franchised from balloting.
1t was shown a few days ago by
THE ARGUS that either there were
many names missed by the census
enumerators or there were names on
the registration books of the city that
do not belong there. The democratic
party demands an honest ballot
that is all.
As an evidence of the fact hereto
fore alluded to of the possibilities of
excess registration in Rock Island, the
democratic committee of the Fifth
ward last night. in checking over the
poll lists of the ward. as taken from
the registration of last Tuesday,
found $50 names OF citizens not now
in the ward, and which were dropped
from the democratic poll books.
Simplest Way Safest.
There has naturally been a great
deal of inquiry about the manner of
voting in view Cf the complications
that have arisen over the appearance
of the names of two candidates for
minority representative on the demo-
cratic ticket with three votes each.
There are several ways suggested for
voting the ballot in manner that
would come within the law. One is

the minority representative candidate
desired. Another is to mark the cir
Gle, also the square spoken Of, and in
addition draw a straight line through
the name of the candidate not desired.
Another is to omit the circle and vote
the squares clear down the ticket,
emitting the one opposite the candi-
date not desired. The law and all
authorities on the question of the
application of the Australian ballot
law seem to indicate the wisdom of
avoiding any act that might mutilate
the ballot. The simplest way is the
safest and best.
