Rock Island County Delegates Return.
The majority of the Rock Island
county delegates returned this morning
on the boat from Keithsburg. They
say they left because there was moth
ing that could be done in the face of
the arbitrary attitude of the Mercer
Henderson county combine. I'VE con-
ceded them everything" said S. r. Ken
worthy, but the complete surrender of
the control of the senatorial situation
to Mercer county. This proposition
was made to us on condition that
Mr.. Britton be given the nomina-
ton, but Mr.. Britton himself de-
clined it. He said he would not ac-
with clean hands and no strings tied To
it that would embarrass future candi,
dates from Rock Island county. Nr.
Britton declared he owed this to his
own self respect and to the democrats
of the county who might aspire to the
nomination when the time should come
for candidates to present themselves
for another term. At the expense OK
these Mr.. Britton would not accept the
honor at this time himself, and we all
stood by him in this position
The Mercer and Henderson county del
egates were anything but conciliatory.
They were dictatorial and determined
to have their own way and control the
district or bind us to give them the
right TO control it. This we could not
and would not do. Besides the job had
been put up just as it came out. We
saw it. what was the use of staying"

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, aud that is by cOnstitu,

Eustsehian Tube. When this tube is in
hImed you have a rambling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. and unless the inham-
