The ruling of the reviewing tribunal.
it is unnecessary to say, will be
received with genuine satisfaction and
qualification by people generally
throughout the county. irrespective OF
politics, the effect being TO sustain the
course of the representative democrats
in their determination to secure to
themselves clean methods in the con-
duct of political affairs, an end worthy
the aim of all political parties.
The significant fact emphasized by
the decision is that the convention is
greater than the committee, as being
the expression of the true voice of
the party. For the forceful manner
in which the attorneys for the regular
democracy. Messrs. &. B. Marshall, S.
r. Kenworthy and c. J. Searle brought
out this. as we'll as the other phases
of the case a high degree of credit is
due. They won a fight not only for
the representative side of party poll
tics, but for a proper regard for fair
and Just procedure in every form OF
political action.
The congregational Contest.
There is still left the contest as tot the
congressional ticket 10 be determined
by a court composed of the county
Judges of the congressional district at
Macomb. Monday. In view of the fact
that the only delegates that attended
the Looney congressional convention
at Moline were chosen by the county
convention that is not recognized as
having authority, ought reasonably to
be expected to have some bearing on
these further proceedings.

A PlUCKY WEAVER ENDURES A
PAINFUL PERSECUTION.
Course Pursued by Mr.. Hickey to
Bring to an End a Serious In

The pluck which Mr.. c. H. Hickey, a
cotton weaver, of No. 8 Main street,
Harris, Rhode Island, exhibited in re-
sisting an effort to drive him from his
looms in the Bernon Mills of Georgia
vile, was truly remarkable
Every day his work was hampered
more, and at its close he dragged him
self to his home and was put to bed ex-
hausted and suffering to such an extent
that sleep was impossible. Every morn
ing he forced himself with heroic reso-
luton to resume his work. But the days
went by without bringing him any re-
lief, until it became clear that even his
remarkable will power could not long
sustain such fearful odds. His good
wife became alarmed and both began to
look eagerly for assistance.

Hickey, from the strong draught of

Johnson told me that this Porto Rican
worked in the plantation for the last
two weeks. l went up to the Japanese
camp, there I met plantation police,
and team luna. Asked them to go
along with me to Kunia reservoir
where Porto Ricans are working.
Team luna asked me What about
Porto Ricans." Then I produced the
photo. When team luna saw this
photo, he said that this Porto Rican

he is. He left the Japanese camp,
and then started up towards the res
ervoir as soon We passed the stable
