Mr. Bliss opens his Evangelistic Meetings. '; Vwmt sUa'eattaaaee err iter thea het-eeetty erihe Ceotrol Cfcarch-Kvaae-ellet Beyer at the Cariatiaa Aa Overflew Heettac. ; ; At tbe first appearance of Mv E. W. " Bliss before a Rock Inland audience yesterday afternoon, there wati such an andience to welcome him as wn well cel. culated to encourage his hear; and give promise of successful meeUnja in the future. The meeting began at 8 p. m, in tbe Central Presbyterian church. A half hour before tba time a large choir had collected and was practk log under the leadership of Mr. P. H. Cli rk of Bos son who accompanies Mr. Bliss. Mr. Clark Is a fine singer and tbe music bids fair to be one of the prominent features of the meetings hereafter. When the time came for Mr. Bliss to beg n i.ia address almost every available seat in the large auditorium was taken. Mr. Bliss is a large robust, healthy looking business man. He is not a minister, but a man who has given up his business and devot ed his life to the work of salvation. His talks are a plain, simple, direct, pre sentation of the gospel with little or no attempt at oratory. His first address was to christian people, pointing ut to them their duty in respect , to these meetings and to the unsaved. Sinners are waiting to be spoken to, he said, and if they are saved, Ged's people must go to them tell them of the Saviour and invite them to the meetings. MR BLISS' ETENINS MI ETINO. An immense revival meeting was held at the Central Presbytarian church last evening. It was conducted by Envange list E. W. Bliss of Chicago, assisted by Revs. Jno. H. Kerr. W. S. Marquis and H.C.Marshall, all of tin protestant churches with tbe exception of the Chris tisn, uniting. P. H.Clark, the famousBos ton singer took charge of the consolidated chorua ot fifty voices. The church was crowded before the time ci me for the opening of the services, and it was ne cessary to hold an overflow meeting at the First Baptist church, where it was taken in charge by Revs. Taylor and Que. Evangelist Bliss who conducted the meeting at tbe Central church, and who will continue to hold two maetings dally, the afternoon at the Broadvey and evet ning at the Central for ten days, is a forcible and logical speaker itnd throws an earnestness and zeal into I is work that holds bis bearers and wimi their confi dence from the first. His discourse last evening was based oa St Paul's epistle to the Romans, 1:1017: For I am not ashamed of the Inapel of Chri.t for It 1. tbe DOWer Of God nnto lilntlnn tn ...r. one that beherelh. For thereto I. th righteougneeii of Ood revealed from faith to faith. Mr. Bliss stated that hi never knew anyone who confessed ihe gospel of Christ to be ashamed of it. He had known people who proressei to be christians to be ashamed of it when pat in a corner. The religion that is bued on tbe gospel gives courage, joy and pet.ee. Tbe gos pel curies lire, liberty and blessing to all who believe in it. Ehanu. is always as sociated with sin. There is no sin con nected with the gospel. There is error and deception in the chris' lanlty of those not led by the gospel of Jesus Christ. They lack the very essence of salvation. Jesus Christ must havti access to the hearts of all true believe ts, through the goepel. Because people may be reading the bible and giving to the church is no as surance that they will be saved. Pray ers, right living, and goocl works wUl not save. Salvation must co;neonlv throueh the blood of Jesus Chrisu Be not de ceived as Saul was, who had to be strick en down before he found that he was in error and was deceive!. Saul found though be labored for vet rs in what he thought tbe right way, that righteousness was the gift of Ood through Christ; that to be saved one must repent of his sins and believe in Jesus Chri.t. It was an easy thing to turn from tin, the evange list held, f"r Ood meets the turning sin ner with open arms and he is made right in an instant if he but bslievea in Christ. The gospel brings hope iind joy to all. no matter how oppressed or sorrowful their earthly life. At the close of bis sermon Mr, Bliss gave an opportunity to tall who desired to profess Christianity tc rise, and a num ber did so while the chorus' and congre gation sang, under Mr. Clark's leadership I Will " During the nervice Mr. Clark sang impressively, "Cone unto me and I will give you Rest' and the chorus rend ered "All Hail the Powrr of Jesus' Name and other revival hymn u AT THE CHBEBTIAK. Rev. T. A. Boyer, a successful evan gelist opened a series of meetings at the Christian chapel last evening, which are expected to continue f o five or six weeks. There was a large cot gregation- present and Mr. Boyer delivered an able and im pressive discourse. JT )ur persons were baptized. SULLIVAN'S CLOSE CALL. The Feraaer Keek Island.

THE ROCK ISLAND PAYNE IS THE VICTIM. The Zumaite Presented With Aa Empty Honor. aneaaaaaa This raise' BpaMlraa Mm at the Crt Heauae Aa Bxpree tea aa I What the Panr Weald Like. The republicans held a convention at the court house this morning. Tbe ob ject thereof was not explained, 'or some reason, but it was understood to be for tbe purpose of selecting delegates to represent Rock Island county in a con vention to be held at Cambridge tomor row, presumably for the purpose of nomi nating a candidate for tbe legislature on account of tbe fact that W. C. Collins who ran for the office last t ummer sent his resignation 4o tbe governor of the of fice he was candidate for before he knew whether he was elected or not All the shining lights of the party were present. Boss Wells called the meeting to order He said tbe chairman of the county com mittee was absent and he had been dele gated to perform this duty, and to nomi nate Hon. H. A. Aiosworth of Molioefor chairman. Mr. Aiosworth was elected and returned thanks for the honor. M. E. Sweeney was elected secretary . The chair named as a committee on credentials. Howard Wtlls of Rock Island, Dr. James Cozad of Edgington and W. T. Ball of Moline. Boss Wells went up and put his arms around the chairman and whispered something very confidentially in his ear. The chair then announced that Mr. Wells had declined to act as chairman of the committee on credentials and that Spen cer Mattibon had been appokted in bia place. The convention made no objec tion and the committee got to work. The committee in due time reported the list of delegates entitled to seats in tbe convention as agreed upon at Saturday night's primaries, Howard Wells having been chosen delegate at large in Rock Island and H. Eobler in Moline, Port Byron, Drury and 8outh Moline being without delegates present. Tbe conven tion then got down to business after all delegations bad been inttructed to fill vacancies in tbeir numbers. A motion prevailed that tbe conven tion proceed to take an informal ballot expressive of its choice of a candidate before tomorrow's convention. A motion was carried that a committee of three be appointed to choose the dele gates, and the chair named Messrs Wells of Rock Island, Deere of Moline and Nicholson of Coe. The chair appointed as tellers tbe ori ginal committee on credentials. Wm. Payne, of Zuma, S. W. Heath, of Bowling.J. C Adams and W. A. Schmitt, of Rock Island, and J. O. Osborne, of Zuma, were put before tbe convention as candidates. Tbe ballot was taken with tbe following result: Heath 18, Payne 48, Oeborne 18, Adams 13. Schmitt 8, Bowgbton 2. Carae 2. Mr. J. C. Adams withdrew and Mr. Haaa stated that he had txea authorized to withdraw the name of Henry Carae. Tbe formal ballot was taken and resulted: Heath IS, Payne 71, Osborne 19. Mr. Payne was therefore declared tbe pre ference of the convention, and the dele. gates io be chosen were instructed to cast their votes for Mr. Payne. The committee to select delegates re ported the following which were approved by the convention: C- H. Deere, C. L. Walker. M. Rosenfleld, E. E. Parmenter, J. K Groom, Chas. Barnard. Frank W. Gould, EL A. Ainsworth, Dan McNeil, Alex Owens, W. O. Tandeveer. J. W. Caldwell, Geo. W. McMurpby. The delegation was instructed to fill yacancles tn its own number. There were cries for Payne, bat he ap peared not; and Joe Haas was called for. "Excuse me," said Mr. Haas, "I quit last month." Tbe convention excused him. Chair man Ainsworth enjoined upon all present tbe necessity of getting oat a full vote. For," said be, "if you don't tbe other Bide will get there." Tbe convention applauded this remark and adjourned. LOCAL K0T1CE8. Oysters at Krell & Math's. Fancy ladiea' desks from 98,00 upwards at H. F. Cordes.
