Daily Davenport Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1864-1874, 1867-09-23

We went out into the country on Friday
and Saturday in search Of information--to
see how political affairs were shaping Not
that We entertained any fear for the success
OF the Peoples ticket at the coming cleo
ton, but TO take tramp through and .
good look across the fast rlpening harvest
Of Peoples Party votes, and see, If perhaps
bar or two might not have been thoughts
les.ly left down that needed putting up
again. to keep Out the half fAm,shed Repub-
lican cattle that are grazing around.
Therefore, in company with our friend
Major Schnitgsr, the popular candidate fer
Sheriff on The Peoples ticket, we went forth
into the western and northwestern precincts
20 see the people. Right here in this very
line, and without going an inch farther,
We might - we'll say that We found every
thing just ~ It should be. We had 40 bus
iness TO 20 into the country. There was
nothing 10 do. The political fields we're
ripening beautifully, the bars were al up
and doubly secured-the organizs, on pro-
gsessins-aud every inch Of the field in per-
feet order. Verify VIC had no business to
do in the country, but for oil that 1t was q
good thing TO 30 out and see the good york
so swimmingly prosperous.
