the snakes in that country, and the
prohibitionists in driving out the liquor
traffic.
Mr.. Weld took the position that the

There was largely attended meet
ing last evening of the democratic
city-township committee at the Rock
Island house, when the committee took
up the question of making the NOM
nations on the township ticket left
vacant by the recent convention. Only
one nomination had been made by the
convention, that of ]. C. Aud for as
SCISSOR, and the others were left to the
committee. The selection of the nom
inees last evening was by the unani
nous vote of the committee.
Bright Prospects.
Reports were made on the situation
in the different wards, and the pros
poets for the entire democratic ticket
are bright indeed. With good, clean,
representative men named in every in
stance, the party goes before the peo-
pie with candidates who command the
respect and will win the votes of the
people of the city.
The reports of the candidates and
committeeman from the different wards
were satisfactory in every respect, and
indicated that the nominations of the
party are regarded with approval by
the voters in general.
Before the adjournment of the con
ference, the committeeman and candi-
Gates listened to discussion of live
political questions by Hon. William
McEniry, who gave careful analysis
of both local and general political con-
ditions. Mr.. McEniry condemned in
no uncertain words the sidestepping
of the republicans Of the prohibition
question. He held that no party which
fails to take a fair and open stand on
such an important matter should be
given the support and respect of the
voters. THE expression of a position
even though it differ from our own,
would entitle the republicans to much
greater respect than the party is en-
titled TO since it shirked its respon-
sibility and failed to take stand on
this question" said Mr.. McEniry. He
maintains that it is an absolute duty
of political party to express itself on
every question of Importance before
the people, and held that the demo
Gratis in adopting resolutions on this
matter, did only their duty. AS to the
position taken in those resolutions, he
presented again the arguments ad
vanced before the convention at which
they were adopted.
