Moline Review: Election Quietly Shaped Local Races
The Moline election drew about 1,100 voters with the Republican ticket mostly winning. Tillinghast failed for collector amid a temperance split. Dr Morey, for alderman, lost due to opposition from Red Ribbon members. South Moline votes favored two precincts and the regatta plans for Sylvan Island were praised.

Edwards and Ball Retained on Local School Board
In the recent Scheel Election W J Edwards and W T Ball were reelected to the board by large majorities. Only opposition came from supporters of Wistrand who was questioned on school policy. The editorial stance favors the public free school system as essential to government and citizenship.

Critique of 1890 elections and party manipulation
A letter from Moline dated April 7 1880 argues that election results show how easily party machines forge slates and nominate unacceptable candidates. The writer urges voters to demand clean hands and honest aims, condemning mixed tickets as harmful for the year ahead. Also notes the death of W H Chamberlain, a 22 year old from Rock Island driven to grain speculation and institutional treatment in Jacksonville. W L Sweeny appointed Conservator of his funds.
