It is a fact that, last year, when Mayor
Butler was announced by the Union as a
Republican party candidate, he went to
that office and denounced the actas against
his wishes and. consent, denying. that he
ever agreed to be a party candidate and
should not hold himself as a party mayor
if elected. Knowing this fact, and know
ing also that he had'not acted the partizan
in his appointments, and that he had no
desire, this year, to be the candidate of
either party, as a party, the Democrats
paid him the compliment of a nomination
which Le has gracefully accepted, as wil
be seen by his letter in this paper. He

"Turn About," is Tair Play.
The Democrats having nominated the
Republican candidate for mayor Republi
cans ought now to drop their candidates
for aldermen and vote for those nominated
by the Democrats. "Turn about" is fair
pUy. Mayor Butler will recive a hearty
support from all the Democratic aldermen
in everything tendintr to the welfare of the
city. The men preseuted by the Demo
crats are, in no case, the inferior of those
ruminated by the Republicans, and are
generally superior. Of course neither
party has presented the highest class of
talent but when our leading business men
and property holders absent themselves
from the primaries, nothine better need
lie and to the faculty that there should be standard I ever "be expected. But the Democrats
have nothing to be ashamed of on a com
parison of tickets. Let every Democrat,
therefore, do his whole duty.and especially
appeal to Republicans to show fair play by-
voting for our men, iuasmuch as we vote
for .theirs for mayor, and inasmuch as our
candidates are heartily iu accord with

In this paper will be found a report of
the water works committee, appended to
which is a report from Dr. Farquharson,
of Davenport, and p man Darned Morgan,
on our water works water, ordered pub-
ished by the city council Who is Morgan ?
Why, he is the man from whom the water
works committee bought the new pump.
Of course he would give his customer "a
character." Carse got him to write his
little piece, and then brought him up and
introduced him to us, and he offered this
very letter to us for publication then on
the 26th of last January. We read it and
handed it back to Morgan, with the remark
that the people of Rock Island wouldn't
be likely to be influenced much by his opin
ion on the subject; that we didn't think
his opinion more valuable than the average
of men who went around canvassing for
business. But now his little letter is
shoved in with the report, as though it
was of some importance. Of course it
proves nothing.
The water works committee deny that
they have been trying to whitewash or de
lay investigation, but the facts don't war
rant their denial. They were appointed
on the 22nd of January, and ordered to
procure an analysis of the water. Did
they proceed to do what they were ordered
to do? No. They dilly-dallied and Bhilly
shallied until the river began to rise, aud
until the shore ice had melted away, and
until air and sun could operate on the
water, and until the earth along the shore
could absorb portions of the sewage, and
then, when the water had become com
caratively pure, they proceed to execute
their order, and publish the result on the
2nd of March more than a month after
they were ordered to do it, and after the
water had greatly improved. Having de
layed long enough to prepare'a big bucket
of whitewash they proceed, more than a
month afterwards, to daub it on the people
but it is too thin.
Ihe water works committee allude to
two physicians who say positively that the
water was the cause of the disease, and
then the water works committee say
"All the other physicians say their ob
smation does not lead to such a conclusion
that the dianha-a exists xoithyut reference
to the water, and it is not caused by it."
Is it possible that Messrs. Butler, Carse
and Davis are ignorant of the facts, and
thus led to state a deliberate uutruth
Have they read the proceedings of th

Hon. Wm. P. Butler,
Dear Sir, Understanding that,

your official duties, pleased that you have
shown good executive ability and an ear
nest desire to promote the welfare ot the
city, the Democratic city convention, held
on Saturday evening, nominated and
indorsed you for re-eleclion, and appointed
the undersigued a committee to notify you
of the same and request your acceptance
of it
It gives us pleasure to say that the
mended for Scrofula, Tetter and Pimples on the general feeling of the meeting was in favor

Very good. That is about as positive a

Next comes Dr. Farquharson's table, in
which our pecple will be astonished to
perceive that it he analyzed the water

failed to give us the results! lie only
tells us about the stdiment in the water
absolutely nothing else. This
ooks suspicious- Why is an analysis of
the water from the main channel sup
pressed? Was he ordered not to analyze
it? Was it necessary to the proper com
position of the whitewash to suppress any
analysis of the water at the main bridge?
There's something about this that needs
explanation,
Dr. Farquharson takes a great deal of
space to tell us that according to his test
the water .is about alike, all around here
and then he proceeds to "kick the stuffing
out of" a chemical analysis in the follow
ing words, viz:
"Though the question of the production
of disease from drinking water was not

Before Justice Hayden.
Monday, March 5. Saturday afternoon
a couple of drunken rowdies got on Frank
Wright's train, at Albany, on the Western
Union R. R. they were drunk and noisy,
and when the conductor asked for their
tickets they said they had no tickets and
refused to pay, but when they found that
they were about to be pitched off the traiu
at the next station they delivered their
tickets to this city. They went to the
Harper House and registered as II. L.

gage, except valises. They behaved
rudely at the supper table and went out

house was pretty full and the best that
could be done for them was rooms on ahe
third floor just as good as any rooms in
tho house, but up 3 flights of stairs.
When they got up two flights they made
so much noise and so disturbed the house
that Mr. Harper ordered their bills col
lected aud ihe fellows put in charge of the
police. After some difficulty they were
locked up in jail. Sunday morning Justice
Hayden admitted them to liberty for their
appearance at 9 o'clock this morning, ou

Helmbold's Bucqu. Ilelmbold's
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable in cer
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As a diuretic, it is supe
rior to almost any other medicine in use
and the great care with which it is rre
pared, the absolute purity ot the prepara
tion, and the diligence used in the selection
ot the crude material, have made it known
:ar and wide as a reliable aud effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Ilelmbold's Buehu has led to
the production ot many spurious prepara
tions, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on tbe reputa
tion acquired by Helmbold s original pre
paration. Parties who desire a really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
hold's only.
