Spring Politics.


Spring Politics.
The Republicans have already COM
meneed to talk about their ticket for the
coming spring campaign, ana number
of candidates have already been named
for Mayor and Marshal, and from the
interest now shown, the primaries pro-
misses to be the warmest ever seen IN
the city, and there will be considerable
feeling against the winner, as 1t Is a.
ready showing personalities. Those
who are mentioned for Mayor, are as
follows, including the present Mayor
Guudhue, who, it is reasonably suppos-
ed, will be up for denomination ana
will contest with Squire Isaac Neu-
land, Roger Ashton, Jas. W. Shipman'
(Ex-mayor), James Mansberger, and
number who will be glad to be min.
toned. and it is thought by the time or
the primaries there will DE a dozen
candidates. For Marshal, Charles En-
vim. the present Marshal. will be can
didate for nomination, and Will have
for his opponent, Charles w. Bailey, OF
the present police force, r. Lindemuth,
(Ex-marshaD, and David Gosney, ann,
like the mayorality fight. there are sew
eral dark horses. The Democracy SO
far has named no candidates.

a raise OF thirty-six cents over 1900.
This is partially due TO the road Inn
proyements. supposed TO be made,
and that the township made nc
levy in 1900. the latter making a small
increase. This large tax rate is not
conducive to bring people to this city,
and especially to manufacturers. and it
is hoped that in the future there will
be some remedy. and the taxes lowered,
as the last Board of Equalization added
about sl00. 900 to the taxes. but yet
with this increase they have grown TO
the above rate.
The following is the rate in the cities,
towns, villages and townships OF the
county.

The CITY Quiet.

During the past week this city has
been very quiet. and especially at night,
the cause being the Wheeling Carnival,
which the people of this city seemed
TO greatly enjoy and patronize literally.
The LaugLAn tin mill and Aetna Stand
ard and the glass houses all were idle
also Many are fishing and camping.
The river on both sides for several
miles north of the city Is regular
town of camps, but the city will soon
be busy again when the mills and fac
tories resume.

The Taylor Ciunty Electric Railway,
mention OF which has been made sew

according to the plans of The promoters
The general supposition was that the
people back OF the railroad project
meant September /, 1901, but jud ging
from the present indications 1t will not
De completed before September !, 1000.
1t is fact that the company has
man out trying to secure a right-of-
way, but when he will nave finished his
work is hard to tell. In the meantime
the negotiations are still on in regard
e selling the franchise, with some
chance OF the deal being completed.
There are one or two stockholders in
the present company who claim they
are in the deal as far as they will go,
anu That rather than loan any more
money they will drop them interests.
1t looks like a certainty that the road
Will never be built unless some outside
people with a little energy and push
back of them take hold of the project.

JOHN A. WHITE HONORED
BY PEOPLE OF PEORIA

The democrats of Rock Island and
all towns where John A. White has
been engaged in directory work in
the past eight years will congratulate
him on his election in Peoria as town
collector. He was hard working
democrat, and in the campaign in
that city last fall he had the misfor-
tune to meet with an accident that
nearly killed him. He was riding a
horse in procession and it fell with
MIR. White under it in such manner
that he was impaled on the horn of
the saddle, and for many weeks there
after he lay in hospital in that city
lowering between life and death. His
three attending physicians declared
that he could not live. yet the man
was determined to get well and the
marvellous will power he displayed
amazed all who knew him. AS soon
as he recovered this spring his demo-
cratic friends urged his nomination
for the office of collector. He was
nominated without opposition and in
the election contest of few days
