The Muscatine Journal says:
In lis speech in this city, the other night,
Henry Clay Dean-who is by all odds the
best speaker of the Democratic party in Iowa
took occasion to speak Of Major Henry
O'Connor, Republican candidate for Attor,
ney General. He spoke Of the Major in the
highest terms as we are informed by men Of
both parties who were present.
Mr.. Dean used TO live in this city, and he
knows Major O'Connor WE'LL There are
some narrow minded, very thin souled per-
sons who would think Mr.. Dean good opin-
ion of man not much of compliment On
the contrary, the good opinion Of a man of
his extreme political views towards man of
Major O'Connor's radical views, is the high
est kind Of compliment. We may be sure
when Mr. Dean acknowledges the ability,
fine character. and good disposition of the
leading speaker of TIE Radicals in Iowa, that
what he says must be true. And it is. Ma
lor O'Connor is fairly entitled to all the
praise Mr.. Dean gave him, and more, too.
Here in Muscatine county, where he has
lived for twenty years, he will receive the
largest vote ever given to any man. Our
people, who know him through and through,
