The above is the city-township tick
ct put i'm the field by the democrats
of Rock Island at the convention held
at Turner hall Saturday evening.
The nominees are all men of stand
ing in the community; men of I'M
limpeachable honesty and thoroughly
capable of meeting every requirement
demanded in the offices for which the
voters of the city will be called upon
to choose incumbents April /.
The convention was called To order
/ by Chairman j. +. Egan at Sis. and
the call for the convention was read
by the secretary, w. u. Mcintyre.
! For temporary chairman the names
of s. Il. Kenworthy and j. F. Egan
were presented. The roll call by
wards resulted in the election of the
former by Il vote of 60 to 81. In ac-
cepting the chair Mr.. Kenworthy de-
/ livered short address of thanks in
which he declared that the outlook
for a democratic victory in the city
election was never brighter than
this year. When members Of the mi
nority party in II community are out
after office, he said. il is a good sign
and one that should encourage that
party to renewed efforts. The rcpub-
lican party. through its internal dis
sessions, Mr.. Kenworthy declared. had
come to resemble the miners shirt,
which had to be washed by the dozen.
Delegates In the Convention.
r. {. Berry and j. +. Egan each in
turn declined the nomination for sec

demonstrate against being given
monopoly of the office, but his voice
