The late Bailey Davenport, of Rock
Island, ILL.,, was especially interested
all his life in the growth of the city
of Davenport. Iowa, for the little
community, when first organized,
thought itself honored by taking the
name of Mr.. Davenport's father.
Bailey Davenport became the owner
of the historic BLACK Hawk tower,
erected on Rock Island, and very
closely associated with the Indian
chieftain, Black Hawk. With Black
Hawk Mr.. Dayenport's father mad
familiar acquaintance, and he heard
the great Indian chief narrate many
anecdotes and tell the story OF men
and events associated with the Black
Hawk war. Three men, one OF Wholn
had already gained distinction, WINE
the others had still to enter upon thelr
historic careers, were identified with
the so-called Black Hawk war. Ihese
were Abraham Lincoln, who was
chosen captain of a volunteer COM
pany raised in Illinois; General Win
field Scott. and Lieutenant Jefferson
Davis. Scott had already so great
reputation that Black Hawk con-
stantlv alluded to him as the great
war chief. Black Hawk was thrown
into close relations with the young
army lieutenant, who afterward be-
came President of the Confederate
States, Jefferson Davis. But he never
spoke of Abraham Lincoln SO that ID
all proba bility he never heard of NM
MIR. Davenport heard his father mar
rate several anecdotes which were
told by Black Hawk after the war;
He was very kindly disposed toward
Mr.. Davenport because he had often
heen presented with food by him,
especially dried venison, of which he
was very fond.

Hawk narrated to Colonel Davenport

The fact that Thomas j. Raymond secured the Re-

who alleged to have been slated for the nomina-

If the Republican organization did favor Snyder,
the voters unquestionably favored Raymond 1t a
question of judgment And 1t is not alleged that the
organization worked against Raymond. 1t merely pre-

November will show whether the organization the
