EDITOR BULLETIN:-I have been hop
ing that some ADLER person would give
you information regarding the progress

and particularly Mr.. Geo. B. Warne' 5

three column article in the Conserra-
tire
Mr.. Warne addressed the people of
this town, on the date mentioned, and,
judging from the crowd in attendance,
very nearly all of the town was present.
The audience paid the strictest atten-
ton, while George gave a logical and
common sense review of the financial is
sue. The speaker went over the whole
ground of the currency question, with
as much detail as his time would allow,
not dealing in mere assertion, but forti-
flying and substantiating every point
made, with facts and figures. Buffa-
los " talk about ''sophisms" is the thin
nest kind OF demagoguism, as every
nearer will testify. The speech was
made up of the most candid and careful
arguments, and was model of fairness:
and the effort of Buffalo" to give it
any other character, shows the dishon-
esty of his purpose. Geo. Warne gained
strong hold upon the confidence and
respect of our people, by the evidence
he gave of upright character, and his
manly and Straightforward discussion of
this perplexing question. This was full
ly evinced by the enthusiasm with which
the audience received his remarks. His
presentation of the issues of the canvass
called out many complimentary remarks
after the meeting. One man remarked
There is some common sense about
him; he don't 60 around to BLACKBOARD. y
Another said: " He knows what to say,
and how to say it, and yet another:

garding the action of the Board of Su-

HAZLEToN, Sept. 90, II.
To the Editor of the Bulletin
Spangler and Goodrich put in an APP
pearance at this village, last evening, for
the purpose of enlightening the people
on the subject of finance. Mr.. Spangler
first mounted the stand, and commenced
his speech, as usual, by complimenting
the ladies, and then launched out into a
rather miscellaneous harangue, in which
he recounted his brilliant (?) record in
the legislature, his laborious work for
the railroad law; told how sharp and
shrewd Spangler is in trade, when he
has the advantage; berated Bob Inger-
sol for his infdelity, which caused his
hearers to open their eyes, and when he
had tired the audience, and consumed
his time, subsidized, SO as to give place to
the gorgeous Prof Goodrich. The
latter started out in good style, with
what gave promise of a tirst-class Re
publican speech, but which soon lamely
halted, and by easy graduation slid off in
to flow of the political diet so dear to
the Greenback palate, ranting denuncia-
ton of the bondholder," money
sharks" ad nauseum. This highly-spi-
ced stuff seemed to arouse the Green
hackers from the lethergy which Spang-
lers dreary effort had cast over them
and they responded to Goodrich
highly spiced twaddle with few spirit
less stamps the only noticeable enthusi
asm of the evening. 1t is evident that
the dreary iteration of the well worn
theories of the greenback orators are
palling upon the senses of their audit
ors. The thing is getting thin. Yours

FAIRBANK, Oct. 4, 1871.
Ed. BULLETIN:-By your permission,
I would say that we celebrated our Sun
day school anniversary at Prairie Grove,
on the 9th of September The day was
all that could be desired, just warm
enough to make the shade agreeable,
and the interest that each one seemed
to manifest in the Sunday school cause,
together with the good order that pre-
vailed, and the social pleasure and har-
mony that beamed in the countenance
of every one, conspired to make it day
of pleasure and profit. We had vocal,
martial and other instrumental music.
Perhaps it is enough to say, in regard to
music, that Mr.. White, the celebrated
music man of these parts, was present.
Prairie Grove was joined by the Band
of Hope school, which added very much
to the pleasure of the occasion. We
should have been glad to have seen the
editor of the BULLETIN drop in about
that time; not to have heard the speech
es, certainly, for you would have needed
the help of a Philadelphia lawyer, but
just to see how the people in the coun-
try can enjoy themselves when they set
about it, and see in what an able and
gratifying manner we went through the
review of the last quarters lessons.
Well, | think we all left bettered in ev-
cry respect, and resolutions to labor
more faithfully in this department Of

Sudden Death Of Mayor ROszell.

In the midst of the hustle and confu-
sion attending the county fair yesterday
friday, the community was shocked
by the intelligence of the sudden death
of Judge Roszell in one of our places of
business, on Main St. The Judge has
been wearing away for some time with
consumption, but yesterday felt well
enough to attend the fair, which he did
seemingly taking much pleasure in it,
and expressing himself as feeling much
refreshed by his ride Returning, he
stopped at Ames & Sprague's store, went
to the Postoffice in the rear for his
mail, and while returning to the front
coughed and spat up mouthful of
blood. He hurriedly said, call phys
ician," and the blood continuing to come
from his mouth, he was helped to a
chair, and in that position the vital fluid
ran from him in stream. He lived not
longer than five minutes, and the verdict
of the medical men is, that his death
was caused by suffocation, resulting from
the rupture Of an important artery neal
the heart, suffusing the system and clos
ing the air passages. A more extended
notice of the deceased, who was one OF
the Oldest and most valued citizens of
our county, and man of superior abili-
ty, will be given in our next issue.
The funeral will be held on Sunday, al
2 o'clock p NJ, at his late residence, at
the head of Main St. The ceremonies
will be under the charge of the Masonic
fraternity.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Business is on the re-
vive in these parts, and no thanks to the
Greenback party for it. True, Bill was
here few weeks ago, but his eloquence
was appreciated best by himself. A
good season, good crops and fair prices
have made the farmers feel good. Ma
ny debts have been paid and money has
been put in circulation. know Of none
who wish contraction Of the currency,
or who are disposed to destroy their
bank notes. think the people here are
more willing to trust to kind Provi-
dence, in connection with their diligence
and sobriety, for good times, than to
that party Of many aliases, that prom
Uses so much if elected to Office.
There has been quite a number of
public sales in these parts, of the per-
sonal property of farmers, and several
more are advertised. Stock has sold
well, especially cows and hogs.
Last week young American from
Rowley, OF some II years, came down
here, and after spreading out some mo-
ney he had, selected from number of
teams hitched at the church, where
there was an afternoon meeting, good
span Of horses and buggy, and drove off.
He stopped to feed the team, after driv-
ing about five miles, when he was over
taken by the constable, brought back to
town, committed and taken to jail,
where he awaits his trial.

Ben, who has made self a study for
many years, and had supposed himself
all right morally and Intellectually, lost
his bearings lately, so much so that he
had fortune-teller pass his hand over
his bumps and tell him of the dark past
and glorious future in his career, for
which B. paid two dollars.
But the great events of these latter
days, are the big meetings that we have
been favored with, and their effects In
the first place, Wesleyan camp-meet-
ing, not far from this town, followed by
Free Methodist Conference of Iowa,
held here; then the Wesleyan Quarterly
Conference, followed by the Annual Iowa
Conference of the Wesleyan Church.
Favored with such meetings, good fruits
should follow, and much shaking among
the dry bones" am sorry I am unable
to record a.single conversion. The camp
meeting may have been for the edifca-
ton of the church, and, as usual, when
such meetings are held over the Sab
bath: there was gathering of the roughs
and scum of society, who ventilated
themselves to the annoyance of respect
ability and violation of law. Are such
meetings profitable?

THE speech of Hon. B. r. Sherman
at the Court House, on Saturday even
ing, was one of the best of the campaign
1t was a compact and powerful array of
fact and argument in vindication of the
Republican idea of the finance question,
and gave most excellent satisfaction to
the audience. The speaker, without pre-
liminary flourish, went right to the heart
of his subject, and without bombast or
demagoguisnf, appealed to the reason
and common-sense of his hearers. The
short space at the close was devoted to
review of the Republican administra-
ton in Iowa since the advent of the
party to power, and we never remember
to have heard the glorious record more
vigorously or comprehensively present
ed. The speech elected many approx
ing comments.

A Humiliating Spectacle.

When man gets thoroughly wrapped
up in desire to hold office, unless he
has strong power of self constraint, he
is apt to do things, and place himself in
situations that, if he is a man of ordina-
ry sensibility, he will afterwards contem-
plate with anything but pride or salts
faction. Such is the case of our Sheriff
in the present canvass. He is slightly
demented on the subject of his re-elec-
ton, as witness some of the means he is
employing to accomplish it.
Last Monday evening, alarmed at the
signs shown by the Democracy, of a de-
termination to vote very much as they
see fit, and not according to the cut and
dried programme marked out for them
by the Greenback leaders, Van Orsdol
invited a goodly number of the leading
Democrats to confer with him, at Frank
Jennings Office. When he had got them
together, he Frustrated himself at their
feet, as it were, and begged and plead
and argued in the most importunate
and abject manner, for their votes and
influence. He who ever since his first
election has been telling Republicans
that he was still as much Republican a
as ever, and who is supposed to be the
Greenback candidate for Sheriff. told
the Democrats on this occasion that he
was one of them; that there was but
little, if any, difference between the
Democrats and Greenbackers, and he
could not see why they could not sup
port him, being practically one of their
number. All this was urged, with the
air of a man pleading for his life. 1t
was fairly agonizing, and while it was
going on the Democrats looked on in
wonder, asking themselves if the man
was in his right mind. When the climax
came, and Van offered to put himself in
their hands, and to retire from the CON
test if they so dictated, the situation be-
came embarrassing, and they said to one
another: What shall we do with this
man on his knees to us?" Finally, one
of them Suggested to the suppliant, that,
as they were not his supporters, and not
of his party, they were not the proper
parties to consult about his retirement
Mr. Van Orsdol, by this performance,
unconsciously, as we are bound in chart
ty to believe, placed himself in most
humiliating attitude, and one in which
he will appear to very poor advantage
before the people. 1t is not probable
that those parties before whom he so
cunningly FRUSTRATED himself will think
any more of him than before, or that
they will be inspired by his exhibition
Of Monday evening to go to work in his
behalf He has shown in this campaign
an unfortunate proclivity for making
mistakes, and this is one Of them. 1t is
due partly to his inordinate anxiety to
be reelected, and partly to his theory
that every artifce is fair in politics, a
most dangerous assumption.
