realized their mistake had they been
on the levee this morning after 8

more were on the bridges, and scores
were on the water in various kinds of
craft. Just as the steamer Columbia
went up the river with 500 passengers
from Davenport and Rock Island, the
big steamer Quincy was landing in
Rock Island with over $50 people on
board. The two ferries were crowded

Rock Islands 20 delegates had no
intention of deserving their own cal

done so most of them would have gone
to Chiperfield 1t was their refusal To
enter into any combination with the
Deneen men that prevented the cleo
ton of Deneen candidate earlier in
the day.
Not realizing that the votes were
piling UP pretty rapidly for Mr.. Mack
and thinking the ballot simply one of
the numerous joke ballots, which had
preceded. the Rock Island spokesman
called out 20 votes for Mr.. Mack.
