ELECTION AFTERMATH.

Il y
IA~~~-~,N~~~
Now that the election is over. it
would be good time to revive the
new theater Project-take up the
work where it was left off a few
months ago.
Hal Pemble pays his election bet
tomorrow afternoon by riding Fred
McCord around town in a wheelbar-
row. He will start from the Rock
Island depot at 2 O'Clock.
Four of Young & McCombs' milli-
| ners stood for an oyster supper given
to eight others at Wright's restaur-
ant last evening. 1t all came of an
error in judgment on the result of the
election.
Tom Stroehle will begin at O'Clock
tonight the task of rolling a peanut
with the aid of toothpick up TWEEN
tieth street hill from Tenth to
Eighteenth avenues in accordance with
his wager with Johnny Rink. The
repu blican flambeaux are said to have
promised to act as escort to Tommy.
There is naturally much interest
here over the gubernatorial race in
Minnesota. Capt. Sam Van SaIt,
former Rock Islander, is the republi
can candidate, and although his state
went for Mckinley, Lind, the demo-
cratic candidate, is still hopeful of
winning by narrow majority.
Local interest in state affairs under
the incoming regime is awakened over
the disclosure, even at this stage of
the proceedings, that c. l.. Walker, of
this city, is a candidate for member
ship on the state railroad and-ware-
house commission. From this it
may reasonably be taken that
Charley made himself good when
he entertained Judge Yates at
mer. although before the republican
state convention the Rock Island as
pirant was supposed to be for some
one besides Yates for the head of
the state ticket. According to adj
vices from Chicago, by the way, j.
Mack Scholl, of Carthage, who in his
capacity as deputy internal revenue
collector has made so many friends
in Rock Island during the past
three years, is apt now to |
get the place on the state warehouse
and railroad commission that Gov. |
Tanner refused to give him at the |
opening of his administration, and |
which republicans all over the state |
conceded that Mack was entitled to. |
Mack has been in charge of the spell |
binders committee at Chicago during
this campaign.
James Mckinney, of Aledo, chair
man of the republican state executive
committee, is also said to be slated /
for berth under Gov. Yates.
The apathy of the Union in the
matter of how Congressman Prince
Jared in the late campaign is a sub
ject of comment among republican
politicians. In it's resume of the cleo
ton results this morning it takes
pains to avoid the mention of the vote
on congressman as far as possible.
Prince is elected or not?
Rock Island republicans will hold
their jubilee tomorrow night. 1t will
be opened with bonfire on the river
front. A cannon-it one can be Sc
cured-will be used to start the pro-
cession, which will he headed by Col.
g. F. Gaetjer, who is thus given ore
more opportunity to. appear in his
rough rider uniform. At a meeting
of the city committee last night the
following committees were appointed
on celebration: Cannon, W. B. Rob
erts, r. c. Willerton; wagons and
noise, Walter Rosentield, l.. G. Eddy.
Paul Cleland, A. II. Head, Ed Denk-
mann; bonfire, II. B. Hubbard, III. d.
and James Peetz. Moline
are to have their celeb bra
ton tonight.
