sity of the newly installed officers in
the several posts taking up vigorously
and Systematically the work Of re-

Mr.. SCOTS Candidacy.

Mayor Scott complains about the
supreme court district. Why, then,
does Mayor Scott aspire to be a can
didate from county which he holds
has no right in the district Quincy
Wing.
Neither Mr.. Scott. nor anyone else
in Mercer county. or in Rock Island,
Warren or Henderson county. had
any choice as to being brought into
the new district. The district was
first jerrymandered, so as to make it,
as was fondIy thought, surely repub-
lican; then came the snap conven-
tons by which the district was Car
terized, with the intention to make
it for Carter only.
Democrats will vote for Hon. g. c.
Scott for supreme Judge. because of
his eminent fitness for the position,
and to rebuke the gerrymander: re-
publicans will vote for Mr.. Scott be-
cause of his eminent fitness and to
rebuke the snap conventions.
