things at night"
Wouldn't that blow your hat off =
that wind about the moral tendencies
of McConochie in the morning Union?
The political grafters that live on
the pickings from vice have a lean,
hungry look us they nose about these
days.
The gray wolf politician is getting
holder every year in Rock Island.
Someone must suffer from the gray
VOLTS greed.
Daniel Mckinney will make the peo-
| pie of the First ward an alderman
whom they can rely upon to do his
whole duty as a member of the city's
Legislative body. t"'i'
A vote for John c. Aud for city
collector is vote for competent,
worthy man, whose administration of
faction to every citizen of Rock Isl
and.
| u. I. a
seat in the city council from the Sec
ond, will aid in the infusion of new
blood into that body, change that
anyone who has. followed the doings
of the council closely knows is sadly
needed.
| S. Il. Davis is getting them all on his
side in the Third and he will roll up
handsome majority next Tuesday
over his opponent. Mr.. Davis is popu-
lar and deservedly so and he is max
ing magnificent canvass in his race
for alderman.
In the Fourth Valentine Dauber
will be returned to the Office that he
has filled SO ably and well in former
councils. He is a man who can be re
lied upon to attend with fidelity to
the demands of the Office and the peo-
pie of the Fourth need his services.
The industrious dope" peddlers
make nightly calls at the Union Office
and in the early morning the tired re-
publican organ has horrid dreams of
Mr.. Maucker doing all manner OF
queer things that are bound to be
seen by people who let others induce
them to smoke the pipe.
The young men of the city are par
ticularly interested i'm the candidacy
of S. Il. Kenworthy for city attorney.
He is a type of the young, energetic
American citizen, a diligent, pains
taking representative of the legal
profession who will fill the office with
credit.
In the Sixth c. c. Wilson has his OPP
ponent jumping sideways and by the
time the polls close next Tuesday he
| will have him put out of the jumping
business altogether. Gall has sandied
1 the voters of the Sixth long enough.
Now they are going to turn the ia
bles on him.
y man in the mayors chair with
an energetic business policy, backed
up by council of representative cit

that will rebound in great good to
the municipality. The success of the
democratic ticket will bring such re
suits.
William Beals in the Seventh is max
ing a canvass that will show results
election day. He is a popular candi-
date and has won favor on all sides
from the beginning. The people of
the Seventh realize that there is no
party issue in the balance and they

man for alderman.
Harry b. Simmon is one of the most
popular bank officials in the city. In
every position of trust he has been
found faithful and worthy and his
election to the office of city treasurer
will mean that the finances of Rock
Island will be in the hands of an eX-
perienced man Of high integrity.
You remember Snyder, the Indiana
man, who couldn't stop walking?
Well, Rock Island has man who
can't stop writing, and the sad part
is that it finds its way into the Union
Office and is unloaded ON the public
as original. 1t doesn't do the latter
any particular good nor anyone else
any particular harm, only that it
must run up the bills for stationery
| that are paid by the order.
The boy phenomenon. the friend of
the common people, the fellow who
calls a spade a spade, will do stunt
extraordinary at the Illinois theatre
tomorrow evening. Instead of giving
away a bedroom set, George Washing
ton McCaskrin announces that old
party methods will be given away.
Think of it, fellow citizens-the indie
pendent republican hercules will yank
