Party Fealty.

.
We were somewhat surprised recently.
at being told by an individual who con-
siders himself the Republican party of
Tama County, or at least a big majority
OF the party, that ''The CHRONICLE never
had afavorable word to say lii relation 10
a Republican, Candidate for Office, The.
righteousness and falsity of his assertion
can be demonstrated in very short time
by most casual examination of our files
the past three campaigns since the paper
has been under its present management.
We lay no claims to great ability or super
excellence, but we think we have worked
faithfully and honestly for the success
of the Republican party. At least we
tried to. 1t may be, however that what
we call working for the party other peo-
pie call by some other name. If ''speak-
ing favorably of Republican candi-
date" consists in mud and filth-slinging,
and calling every man who may differ
with us politically thief, liar and vii
lam, generally, then we admit that we
hayn't said anything in favor of Re-
publican candidate, and we Furthermore
say that we never will. If we had "spo-
ken favorably" of the person who made
the assertion. and had used what little in
fiuence we may possess to boost him into
favor and popularity then indeed we
would have been bully boy, and the
CHRONICLE would have been the best pa,
per in central Iowa-in his estimation
everything would be lovely and the goose
would occupy an altitudinous position.
But we wish it distinctly understood that
the CHRONICLE is not rup.,in the inter-
est of anyone man, or clique, or ring. We
started out with the intention of running
an honest straightforward, reliable Re
publican newspaper and VIC propose to
stick to our intention. tt90ht9 3

From Maple Farm.

Farmers are very busy threshing and
hauling off wheat. BIT some are plow-
ing up pastures and meadows for wheat
next year. I don't think this is fair. II
we haye had "a glorious wheat crop this
year, it don't follow that we will always
have a.good crop. And don't belieye it
will pay to send our young stock offto s'be'
jammedi in great hsrdss and starved on
prairie wire grass. The corn crop is
splendid and every farmer asks his mate
Where can l find few good calves, or
pigs Do you think the steers are all
picked up?
Last night the Sons and Daughte rs of
Temperance at Irving held a public meet
ing and had a grand Temperance Rally.
During the exercises the question: was
asked ''Shall Temperance people support
Jessup or Gear" All the speakers were
Republicans. One. gentleman said WEI
would have to support Gear for our votes
to Jessup would only secure the election
of Irish. Another said it was just the
punishment the Republicans of Iowa
deserved for putting. in nomination man
with whisky RECORD. Another said we
must not leave the Republican, party for
it had always upheld moral principles.
The rejoinder was that party could not
live on its past record, but must "act in
the living present" in order, to keep it
hold on the affections of the people.
One said all the original issues, of the
Republican party were buried long ago
and unless the party shouldered the only
question of the age, Temperance 1t would
have to die and be buried too. Another
said the Democrats had buried the sla-
very question again and again were bury,
ing it now by burying the whole At
rican race. One said the temperance peo-
pie gave the sixty thousand votes last fall
that made Iowa the banner Republican
State. If the temperance vote had been
given for principle and not for party,
Iowa would have gone Democratic and
Tilden would have been president.
i He claimed that the party needed re-
buke for their meanness and it could be
given in Iowa better than in any other
State. For Democratic Governor in
Iowa could dothe nation or State, but
little harm, while in other States more
nearly balanced democratic governor
might effect the fortunes Of the whole
nation.
One man said he hated Democracy, for
it had history. A history not only writ
ten in Blood all over the southern Con-
federacy" but written in Rum all overthe
north. The question was left open, shall
we votefor Jessup?

Here's ut lyoua

The Independent Of last week appeared,
with its usual weekly allowance Of
charges against Thomas Murray We
don't wondor at this, knowing as we do,
that 1t is another grounding Gaze, as the
life of the Indepeadent, and the livelihood
Of its editor depends on the election of
Mr.. Austin.
We have taken particular pains this
week to find out if there was any truth in
these reports published in the ladepen-
dent. We visited Tama City the first of
this week for the express purpose of
finding out how Mr.. Murray stood in his
own town, and to find out, if possible, the
Straight of these stories, fully determined
/ if all the meaness charged to him could
be proved, to give him no longer our sup
port We saw citizens of Tama City who
had known Mr.. Murray for10 and 10 years
and who spoke of him in terms Of the
highest praise, stating that they knew
these charges were almost entirely false.
Wedo not deny that My. Murray has
drank liquor now and then in times gone
by, and has in some instances become
more or less intoxicated-be it told to his
discredit-but his neighbors who knew
him best say that the many years they
have known him, they never knew him
under the influence of liquor, save In two
or three instances. and hot once since he
has taken the pledge. Does it not look
well for aman, when his own townsman
speak we'll Of him II is a conceded fact
that Mr., Murray will carry his own town,
many of his Democratic friends giving
him their support, W
Now in regard. to some of these charges
which the Iadepsndent with. such SEEM
ng of truth. brings forward before the
public we havn't the least hesitation in
saying that they will not bear the scrutiny
vof close investigation. The charge Of bis
being down to Dcs BIoines on trip ac-
companied by several Of our Tama Coun-
ty men, ON which occasion the Indepen-
dent, says he was beastly drunk, as the
men with him knew, and refers to B. A.
Hall to prove the. assertion. Mr.. Hall
says that he was with Mr.. Murray during
the entire time Of this trip, not being
away from him to exceed rs minutes Of
the whole time they were there, and says
emphatically that Mr.. MURRAY WAS NOT

What truly beautiful world we liye
in! Nature gives us grandeur af noun
tain, glens and oceans, and thousands of
means for enjoyment. We can desire no
better when in perfect health; but how
often do the majority of people feel like
givingit up disheartcned, discouraged and
worried out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof that Green's August Flower will
make them as free from disease as when
born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint

pc ". ID, y. .. picnic last Oaturuly
was most enjoyable Affair indeed The
day was delightful. Three schools were
represented. About 259 men, women,
and children were present. to enjoy the
day. The grove of Mr.. Tompkins, where
the picnic was held, is admirably suited
to such gatherings. On reaching the
grove. Messrs. Hubert & Kroesen were
found on hand with one of their niagnifi
cient organs for use on the occasion.
After number of pieces were sung, Mr..
Hubert presiding at the organ, Rev. NJ.
R. Drury offered prayer. After singing
again Mr.. Drury made q few remarks to
the school when the crowd dispersed to
ramble in the grove, to pick nuts, swing
and play Croquet, to come together again
only when the bugle gave the summons
to come to dinner. The table was about
$50 # long and wasnreeted by the school
of Pleasant Valley. The dinner in the
woods was one Of the chief features Of
the days programme. All performed q
worthy part, and there. were none that
seemed NOT 10 enjoyit. % @

good ice cold lemonade they wished, TO
drink during the day, which by the way
was not less than three good sized tubs
full. 1t is however due the, children 10

After dinner general amusement by the
little folks, and social enjoyment by the
older ones was the order till abbut 3 o'clock
when the bugle brought the people to-,
gether at the organ to hear some excel
ent instrumental music furnished by Mr..
Hubert. On motion it was resolved to
extend vote of thanks to the Hubert
Bros. for tho use Of their excellent organ,
and to Mr.. Hubert for his services as or
ganist during the exercises of the day.
The resolution was adopted most heartily.
On dispensing all expressed themselves
as having had a good time.
