State Election
’Tuesday.
—lowa has, as shown by her last
census, 320,65* men subject to military
duty. Those who want a war should
make a note of it
—There is hardly a Democratic rail
road attorney in lowa but who is Tun
ing for the Legislature, supported by
the corporations.
—Forty thousand dollars of whiskey
money to put into as many counties,
means SI,OOO for Mahaska. The money
will t* here and used to carry the Leg
islature, in the interest of the 64-cent
platform.
—lt is estimated that the laboring
men of America expend annually for
liquor something over $500,000,000.
The drink habit is their worst oppress
or and most deadly enemy. iso says
Mr. Powderly, Grand Master of the
Knights of Labor of America.
—The returns from all the counties
of Ohio have been received. They show
that 731,732 votes were cast, of which
Foraker (Rep.) had 359,538; (Deni.) 341,-
380; Leonard (Pro.), 28,064; Northrup
(Greenbacker),2,76o. Foraker’s plurali
ty, 18,158. The total vote in 1883 for
Governor was 721,310, of which Foraker
had 347,164, Hoadly 359,693, and Schu
macher (Pro.) 8,M2, lioadly’s plurality,
12,539.
—lt is understood that H. Martin
Williams or Ben Colvin, the straight
greenback speakers, will be ‘iere on
Saturday evening and stand up before
Weaver—“ The demagogue, and damn
his treacheries without blinking, skin
the political trickster, with his worn
out creeds, his large profession and
little deeds.” They have pre-empted
the court room, and will be there.
—The Democratic speakers declare
that there is no suppression of the
colored vote in the South. Yet the
vote of 1884 shows these things to be
true: In Newberry county. South Car
olina, the population, according to the
last census, is divided as follows:
Whites, 8,236; colored. 18,261, At the
election last fall, Cleveland received
2,121 votes, or the vote of about every
w bite voter, while Blaine received but
326 votes, leaving over 4,000 votes sup
pressed in one county. In Abbeville
county, South Carolina, the population
is divided as follows: Whites, 13,172;
colored, 28,637. In this county Cleve
land received 3,638 votes and Blaine 76
votes. In Y azoo county (the scene of
the Yazoo massacre a few years ago)
there are 8,498 whites and 25,342 col
ored. In Ibis county Cleveland re
ceived 1,330 votes, while Blaine received
but 6. In Burke county, Georgia, with
a colored population of 21,031, there
was not one Republican vote cast. The
method has been changed from the
shot-gun to something more quiet but
none the less effective. It is thus that
the colored vote finds Democratic pro
tection.
—Dr. Liudly is now engaged in giv
ing out taffy to tbe boys which will
not cheer well. He says that he is in
favor of a local option law on the liqu
or question, and tax up all costs aris
ing from the traffic in a criminal way,
to the muncipal corporations which
license the traffic. Like a good many
other things that the Doctor has sug
gested in his career here, this lacks the
elements of practical application. For
instance, suppose a “boozer” gets his
booze from Ottumwa, commits crime
while drunk, is arrested and tried.
How would you collect those costs from
OttumwaT A hundred ways suggest
themselves that would worry the
Doctor to bring about an adjustment of
bis visionary plan. It would becomes
matter touching costs only, and not the
punishment of crime. Then how about
tbe poor who are created by the traffic V
Who would the Doctor tax up for their
support—would he lay the whole bur
den on the city ?—though many do not
live here. In good truth, is not the
Doctor engaged in giving out words
that are not intended to have any effect
in the Legislature? Don't he know
that if the Democrats carry the House,
that there will be caucus called on the
whiskey bill; that the brewers, having
furnished the money for the campaign,
will dictate that bill, and that all the
Democrats and followers are pledged
to stand by such caucus? Blattner
would not put in bis money unless he
knew what he was to have back.
I
The Brewers and Liquor Dealers As
sociation have appropriated forty
thousand dollars to be used in buying
up votes on the Legislative tickets in
lows, so as to bring about the adoption
of the free whiskey plank in the Demo
cratic platform. An agent was here in
Oskaloosa on Friday last, and made
arrangements for the use of “boodle”
between now and election day, and on
that day. A concerted effort is being
made all over the titate, through this
agency, to buy enough of the purchas
able vote to make sure their ends. lowa
voters cannot be purchased like so
many bogs in the shambles, and this
boodle gang will so discover. lowa
Republicans should take warning from
thi* open effort of the enemy, and
promptly circumvent the corrupt
scheme, by casting every vote in the
oounty. Money has Us power, but it
cannot buy the lowa people for this or
any other purpose.

meeting Weaver had Just 140 people out jo hear
blui. Time was when they had that many
horses hitched to his buggy, hauling him wound
like another Cnsar. It’s the old. old story!
—During the sessions of the forty
ninth congress, the first ol which will betfln De
cember 7, the Republicans will have 43 seuators
and the Democrats Si, giving the former t. work
log majority of 8, which the Democrats are en
deavoring to overeome after March 4, 18K7.
—The Georgia legislature has passed
concurrent resolutions Instructing Congressmen
from the State to vote for the repeal of the In
ternal revenue law. These Instructions, like
the Democratic license law proposed In lowa,
are, of course, “In the Interests of temps- unce.’
—Burlington Hawkeyt: “The eloc-
Uon this fall will bear some fruit, for which the
Democrats will have the right to offer up shanks.
The Republican victory will soon mean the de
feat of General,Weaver, and that Is a ‘consum
mation devoutly wished by most of the bour
bons.”
—“l’m saying nothin’ agin the Repub
licans—not a word! But that bald-headed suck
er Haskell, and that Swalm! them’s ’em!
That’s what! and that’s what the mad candl
date said. All because he did uot get that fieoo
from the city which he had no more fight to
titan Pat Malloy.
—Pyne, that odorous P. M., of -Cleve
land’s, at Vinton, has resigned. The l*rool of
hts criminal conduct was so clear the adminis
tration had to unload him. A soldier by the
name of Abraham Rose has been given his place.
Rose Is one of those soldiers who takes to hts
tea aud Democracy.
—The Avoca Detlta remarks: “What
a sight for God and men was t hat of a number
of Avoca saloon keepers hurrahing lui.tily for
Gillette the prohibitionist, a man who is yet
chairman of a county alliance. Yet this is only
one of the many features of fusiou. But then
Weaver A Co. must have office.”
—At Independence Mr. Whiting frank
ly said he had been nominated for Governor
solely because he was a farmer. Chairman
Kinue, In his Toledo Democrat, 15th inst., says:
“The vocation ol mau. if an honest one, should
not count either for or agatnst him when a can
didate for office.”
—Coroner Barringer has served his
office well. To all cases requiring his attention
lie has (liven the most search inti investigation,
and let the light in everywhere. Professionally
lie stauds among the very best—a clear-headed,
successful physician, who honors the office by
serving. He was not old enough to be in the
army: and that is all that kept him out.
—Capt. Evans, the Republican nom
inee for Supervisor, is a farmer of J 'fferson
towuship, and has a splendid record as a sol
dier and citizen. He was in the Nineteenth
Assembly as one of the members of the House,
aud made a solid reputatlou there as a man of
sense aud judgment He will make a line
Supervisor, and one who will give satisfaction
to all people. You will vote for Capt. Evans, of
course you will.
—Says the Cedar Rapids Republican:
“With a State full of Wom&u’s Christian Tern-
Iterance Unions and Bands of Hope, and con
taining many Good Teiuplar and other temper
ance organizations, it requires all the assurance
Fred Lehman can muster to confront audiences
with the statemant that since the temperance
people of lowa adopted prohibition as their
principal method of reform, all personal tem
perance work has ceased.”
—The old 21st Missouri was one of
the best regiments that marched under Grant
at Shiloh. They opened that great battle, being
directly under old Ben Prentiss, and none were
oraver. Well, Major Tracy was there, and he
is now the Republican candidate for Surveyor.
It is seldom that such personal worth and offi
cial standing go together, as Major Tracy is
one of the best practical engineers in the State.
It is an honor to vote for him.
—Congressman Horrsavs he was told
that the President requires Democratic Con
gressmen to sign and swear to the following, in
case of recommendation to office: “ I
Member of Congress, from district,
have just recommended for office, as far as I
know, has never committed any heinous crime
and to the best of my knowledge has never
been in the penitentiary. So help me God.”
Weaver will have to use some of these blanks.
—Faithful to his trust as Deputy
Treasurer, the people promoted “Dos" Gilchrist
to be Treasurer, and he now stands for re
election, having served a term to the satisfac
tion of all concerned. No man on the ticket is
more popular than he, and we have none more
worthy. As he has done in the past, so will he
do In the future—give faithful, attentive service
to the whole people, as they may be connected
with that most important office. His father
was shot down at Helena, and the boy would
have been there had he been old enough.
—lt is altogether likely that C harley
Blattner, the brewer, would support Dr. Lindly
for the Legislature without liaviug a clear un
derstanding with him that he will support the
compulsory saloon plank, as found in the Dem
cratic platform. Blattuer and bis Democratic
friends know what they are about when they
put their mouey into the campaign for a 64-
cent-a-day saloon everywhere in lowa Our
friend the Doctor Is giving the people niffy and
nothing else, ou this topic. He will have to
stand squarely ou the Democratic platform,
else his boomers here would drop him like a hot
potato.
—The New York Herald takes Mr.
Cleveland to task because he announced his in
tention of voting for Hill. The Hera.d says:
” We do not believe that Mr. Cleveland ought to
set so bad an exainple-so curiously bad an exam
ple—to the younger voters of New York and the
country as be would if he should cast his vote
tor Mr. Hill.*’ And further on In the sane arti
ele: “The Herald advises every Democrat who
desires the honor and continued succes s of his
party, and the good of the State aud city of
New York, to vote for Davenport or to remain
at home on election day.” There is an admir
able directness in the Herald' s stump sjieeches.
—J. R. White, a life-long Democrat,
has written the Harlan Republican, repudiating
the Democratic platform because of Its com
pulsory saloon plank, and among other things
he says: “And.this Is tbe law that Is forced In
Iowa! Fellow Democrats, you who spurn sa
loon control of your party, and who believe with
me that the great principles of Democracy must
not be obscured by the slums of whisky; you
who stood by the party for principle’s sake
w hen it was considered a disgrace to be a Dem
ocrat, are you ready to be pushed to the wall by
a set of upstarts who do not know wLat De
mocracy means, but rather think it means
whisky?”
—Senator Van Wyck called at the
treasury department and left a note for Secre
tary Manning requesting that he would make
It a condition with the contractors for the con
struction of public buildings in Nebraska that
convict labor should not be employed. In case
the secretary should thtnk tbe law prohibited
such conditions the senator asked that the bid
ders for the contract be required to state
whether they proposed to employ convicts upon
the public works. Manning has privately re
plied that tbe government could not interfere in
the matter as to who should do the lal>or—the
lowest and best bidder got the contract, and
that was “business.”
—The Mt. Pleasant Herald, Green
back, touches up Weaver In this shape: “Wea
ver grows pathetic over the wrongs committed
by tbe ‘cattle barons’, as he calls them, in tbe
Indian Territory, and glorifies Cleveland for
turning them out, so that their cattle shall eat
uo more tbe Mexican grasses growing wild In
that region. But Weaver has no tears to shed,
nor words of censure for Cleveland’s driving out
from Dakota the poor homesteaders who en
tered the region opened up by President Arthur,
staked off their claims, mfide their ‘dug-out’
houses, and have their little all Invested there!
Cleveland orders these settlers out by October
to, and if not then gone directs that the army
put them outside of the opened regions, with
winter fast approaching and the hemes;eaders
to lose their all! But Weaver‘endorses every
act of tbe Democratic administration.’ ”
AN ADDRESS.
The straight Greenback Commit
tee Address their Flock.
Cedar Rapids, la., Oct. 26, 1886.
To the Old Greenback Guard: An
election is near at hand in lowa, upon
the result of which depends the life
of our glorious cause. The time has
come, and now is when all true Na
tionals should make a united effort
TO SAVE TIIE PARTY
of the people, and thereby save a gov
ernment of, by, and for the people.
Every Greenbacker Is aware that so
long as we as a party antagonized the
old party organizations
WE GAINED
numerical strength and political in
fluence. The enemies of good and
honest government finding that our
position wss unassailable and that we
were not to be driven from our strong
holds by attempted ridicule, planned
our annihilation by advising and en
couraging fusion with the minority.
Many of our trusted and valiant
LEADERS HAVE FALLEN
before this deceptive and ruinous pol
icy and the party disorganized. Why
should your committe be compelled to
say that we as a party fallen into dis
repute and been branded the nation
over as so much trading stock for a
few political riugsters who seek only
theirpursonal advancement? We wifi
not do this. .
THE TRUTHS
of Green back ism are as powerful as
ever The Supreme Court of the
United States has taken position upon
our Gibralter. We are right and our
enemies wrong. Shall we surrender r
No, never! will be the answer.

party of lowa is not merely an annex
io either of the old parties; neither can
it surrender to that party that will
promise the moat to Weaver.
FELLOW GKKENBACKERS:
we fought the Republican party when
it pursued a financial course at enmity
with our beloved cause. Let us not
be duped by designing demagogues into
supporting a party that is at variance
with our every cherished idea. The
Democratic party is, like the R publi
can party,
OUR RELENTLESS FOE.
Its policy since the 4th of last March,
has been to contract the currency of
the people in every possible manner,
and to paralyze the industries of the
nation by every meaus that could be
devised by the Shylocks of Wall Street.
All this every Greenbacker knows
to be true. In the language of that
I [rand old commoner,' Jesse Harper, of
Illinois, “ The Greenback road, like the
way to heaven is straight ahead.” Let
us with the bravery, fortitude and pa
tience of the Spartan band that rallied
around
THE BANNER OF PETER COOPER,
in 1876, rally again aud snatch our fall
ing banner from the hands of those
who are about to surrender it to our
foe, and once more in defiance of boss
ism in our ranks, vote the pure and
UNSPOTTED GREENBACK TICKET,
never forgeting that a vote for the
right is never lost.
We present you with a ticket of true
Greenuackers, who will stand for prin
ciple; noblemen who cannot be intimi
dated by a tyraunical aud domineering
self-appointed leadership. If you have
no printed ticket, write one, for every
Greenbacker can write.
Green backers of lowa who love the
right for the sake of it, vote for Elias
Doty, of Linu county, for Governor;
J. K. Clarke, of Henry county, for
Lieutenant Governor; M. R. Farns
worth, of Winneshiek county, for Su
preme Judge; J. 1). Guthrie, of Mahas
ka county, for Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction, and in the near future
the recollection of having cast that vote
will revive the fire of the veteran pa
triot who, with honest pride, recalls
his vote for that grand old hero, Peter
Cooper, and that cast for the honest
and true farmer Doty, of Linn county.

Chairman of the Straigt Greenback
Committee of lowa.

On Tuesday evening a consultation
of our citizens was held at The Her
ald rooms, in relation to the matter of
bringing the Chicago Northwestern
Kail way into the incorporation. D.
\V. Luring was called to the Chair, and
Mr. Swalm appointed Secretary. The
matter was fully discussed, and the
conclusion was unanimously reached
that “we will accept of the proposition
as made,—for right of way and depot
grounds,—and that the following com
mittee be appointed to take charge of
the canvass for the necessary sub
scriptions, as follows;
Capt. Searle, D. VV. Loring, A.
M. Abraham, Judge Crookham, Dr.
Hurst and E. 11. Gibbs.
Dr. Beechler, W. W. Haskell, C. A.
Knapp, C. H. Phelps, Frank Boyer
and Judge Loughridge.
Amos Spencer, W. A. Lindly, J. VV.
McMullen, Henry Howard and John
H. Green.
John Sieliel, VV. McFadden, E.
Bach, VV. A. Seevers, John R. Barnes
and VV. E. Vernon.
These four committees are to act in
union and to make a thorough cauvass
of the city for subscriptions. The
proposition should be met at once by
compliance by our people. The North
western road is one that runs every
where over lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois,
and out into Dakota. It is a great
corporation, first class, and one of the
most enterprising in the West. To be
connected with it, means another
trunk line to Chicago, a more extensive
field for our trade, and a certain ad
dition of great strength to the making
of this one of the most thrifty cities of
lowa. It is a vital matter that we act
promptly. Ottumwa is in the field ,
and that “means business!"
Our Harvest Thanksgiving.— St.
James church celebrated their Harvest
Festival of Thanksgiving on last Sun
day. The interior was beautifully dec
orated with fruits, grains, vegetables,
autumn leaves and flowers. On the
altar was erected a cross of tlowers,
flanked on either side with vases of
grains and grasses. Over the gate in
the chancel rail was erected an arch,
decorated with corn, leaves, and at
base of arch on either side a sheaf of
oats. On the front arch of the chancel
was a beautiful wreath of autumn
leaves, in the center of which hung a
very handsome hanging basket. J ust
in front of the chancel on the north
side was a handsome pyramid of all
kinds of natural products of the fields;
the fount was ornamented with a pyra
mid of fruits. The windows were all
wreathed with green branches and ap
ples. It is impossible to convey an
idea of the beauties of the trimmings
in words. Those only can appreciate
the effect who were present and saw
the church in all its beauty. The dec
orating was done by the ladies of the
aid society of this parish. The sermon
was lull of joy and thanksgiving and
was from the beautiful ritual of the
cliurch. It was preceded by the full
choir singing a thanksgiving anthem,
rendered in their usual excellent man
ner. In fact, the music was all mag
nificent. The solo, “I know ray Re
deemer liveth,” was rendered finely by
Hiss Anna Morse, of Chicago. The
rector delivered a most excellent ser
mon, his subject being, “Church Mem
bership a Duty we owe to God.” It
was beautifully illustrated with allus
ions to the emblems which surrounded
the speaker. It is useless to add that
every seat was filled, not a vacant seat
being perceptible. The evening service
was also as well rendered, and there
were at least fifty people turned away
as they could not be seated.

- obLALOOSA. MAHASKA COUNTY, IOWA, THURSDAY,
Jui.ia Ward Howe.—ln the Satur
day issue we spoke of the size and character of
the audience that greeted Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe at the Opera House, last Wednesday even
lug, which in both respects was such as would
be must complimentary and gratifying to any
speaker. ‘The lecture, itself, which we had not
space to more than refer to In that Issue, was a
concise, analytical examination of the two
kinds of womeu that exist to-day and make up
Wie potent factors of the world’s society, and
which Mrs. Howe characterizes as “ Meu’s
Women and Women’s Women.” In the first
class she placed such women as live upon the
coquetries and vanities of life, subsisting upon
man’s pleasure and craving man’s admlratlou
with a sexual passion that rarely reaches the
fullness of love and Its higher experiences. These
are the women whose salons and drawing-rooms
shut out the intelligence and influence of wom
anhood, and create a shrine for the worship of
men alone; such as Madame de St ael, George
Sand and Lady Blessiugton, among the figures
of history, and various others among the per
sonal acquaintances of the speaker In Europe
To the rare mental powers of these women, Mrs.
Howe gave generous testimony, though denying
to them that higher feeling of justice to tlielr
own sex and appreciation of the womanly force
in the world’s experiences that would have
added Immeasurably to their stature as women
and thinkers. It was easy to see to which class
Mrs. Howe’s warmer sympathies were drawn
as she passed on to her “ Women’s Women,”
the women who, like Florence Nightingale, seek
to raise woman’s standard of life to a higher
level by the grand fulfillment of noble work,
and who seek, like Margaret Fuller, to Inspire
women with a loftier ideal of their own duties
and character and relations to life and human
ity. Parenthetically Mrs. Howe related some
Interesting personal facts concerning Florence
Nightingale, with whom aud whose family she
was on terms of friendship, and of her early
formed ambition for the work in which she
proved such a blessing to humanity. In these
examples Mrs. Jlowe indicated what she hoped
for from the women of the future; not that all
shall be Florence Nightingales or Margaret
Fullers, but that all shall be inspired with the
warmth of human need and the strength of life’s
necessities, and filled with that nobler passion
that shall make womankind better and truer
and more useful. It was such a lecture. In Its
power of keeu analysis and just judgment as
bore the stamp of genius in all its thought, and
yet that showed a genius that was not one-sided
or extravagant or extreme. Julia Ward Howe
is a great woman in the best sense; a woman
first created a genius by natural endowment of
inlnd, and afterward developed Into one of
riper and more forceful growth by the develop
ing and ripening aud enriching experiences of
life, when one looks out upon life as she does,
with the eyes ol sympathy and Interest and fel
low feeling. Her life in the full harvest of its
sixty-seven years of high thinking and right
living may well be an inspiration to woman
kind, and a light of guidance to truer develop
ment. Her life testifies to the success of women
in the higher pursuits of scientific study, and to
the rounded character which this better life
l>erfects. She is a student, but not that alone; a
phllanthroplst.and much more; a wlfe,a mother,
a grandmother, a poet, an essayist, a preacher,
a metaphysician, a woman such as Wordsworth
must have had in view when he wrote,
“A perfect woman, nobly planned.
To warn, to comfort, and to command.'’
By imitation of President Trueblood, Mrs.
Howe visited Penn College, Thursday morning,
and addressed the students in the chapel for a
half hour, and at the close, by request, recited
her battle hymn with rare power of luminous
recital. lalter she visited the senior class reci
tation in psychology, and gave to the class the
history of the wonderful work wrought In the
case of Laura Bridgman, the child whom her
husband, Dr. Howe, found blind and deaf, and
almost devoid of the senses of taste and smell,
and who was led, by intelligent aud studious
philanthropy, into the realm of seeiug and hear
ing and tasting and smelling, and into the higher
Oskaloosa
divination of the linmau soul and its necessities.
This was a most interesting hour with Mrs.
Howe, and one that the class of ’BS of Penn
College will long bear in mind.

We have all the Latest Styles, and especially invite the ladies to call and
