! TIE disreputable john p. Looney,
late disturber and rioter in the repub-
| lican party Of Rock Island. captured
the convention hall of the democrats
| last Saturday night in that city by
storm and routed all the delegates,
( leaving the hall with LcgneY and his
riff-raff in charge. The same hood
| Iums who had sat in republican eau
cuses and conventions a few days ago
and posed as disturbers Cf the peace
turned up as democratic delegates
Saturday night and riot followed.
driving all the delegates away. This
Is Looney's old game. With Il follow
ing Of river rats, jail birds. and all the
of-scourings Of civilization that he
can gather together he goes from pri-
mary t. primary ana by splitting IN
faces and all manner of insults he
drives away all the people assembled
there and takes full charge. We ask
every democrat to read the account of
Saturday nights riot given in sun
days Rock Island Union. which we
reproduce On another page. Also an
editorial TO te found On the editorial
page. The Union has formerly shield
Ell Lconcv, but seems To have given
up ia despair and publishes Il fair ac
coGnt Cf the matter, except that il
does not expose the police. The Rock !
