Another Thief Tarred with the
Republican Stick.
How Scoop Defeated the Ambitious rlans Of
\ Poll tfcian.

Dies MONIES, July 81 One Republi
can candidate for office in Iowa was
knocked out yesterday in great
shape. Sidney 4. Foster, chief clerk
OF the last House Of Representatives
aspired TO be Secretary at State. He
is editor of the Worth County Eagle.
One Of the bills passed by the Legis-
lature was an act appropriating
81 900 to pay s. 3. Beder, Of Chicago
for printing 1000 Swedish and G.Oo0
Norwegian pamphlets I the State,
Board OF immigration in 1872. The
report runs that Mr.. Foster bought
this claim for Il song, got the bill
through and drew the money. The
Worth county Iader is Republican
rival of the Eagle and proceeded to
get i'm a genuine scoop on its con-
temporary by publishing the alleged
facts in the ease in advance of every
other paper, whereupon Mr.. Foster
withdraws rs il candidate, but
whether on accoun, of the charges
preferred OF the modification oil
having been scooped by rival
new spaper he leaves the public to
Judge Associate press dispatch.
Wherefore o. Dear Emo, this why
ness? Sid Foster so far rs we can
learn does not deserve eensure from
the Inder. 1t supports Blaine
though the evidence of his wrongful
capture OF many thousands of dollar;
is AZ clear rs the evidence that Sic
stole $1,000. Perhaps the hde.r il
opposed to petit larency, but it mus
remember that the appropriation
was for only $1,000, and that Mr.. Eos
Ter made the most OF his opportuni
ty; he took IL all. Give him sucl
opportunities as Blaine has had ane
like that great statesman he would
be worthy the support Of the hsde,r
Really ii would seem il the Isde1

corruptly received hundred Of thous

Why didn't Blaine endorse the
financial plank Of the republican
platform instead or the democratic
financial plank? The cry OF Blaine
and Of all the money changers, whom
he represents Is false one. He and
they want dishonest money, that
thrift may come from swapping
dollars. Bank money which promises
to pay coin on demand, Is dishonest
money and always has been. The
only honest money OF this country
is that issued by the government,
regardless Of its MATERIAL; its legal

Hon. l.. II. Weller.

Will some Of the Republican Edi-
tors in this 4th Congressional district
please rise and explain?
The following editorial appears in
the Spring Valley Tidette, republic
can paper published ut Spring Val
ley, MINI. The editor was formerly
Il republican Of Howard Co., Iowa.
The date Of the paper was Aug. 1st
1884:
L. II. WELLER FOR CONGRESS.
In the Congressional District, Just
south Of us, lively fight is in pro-
gress, owing to the denomination Of
Hon. L. II. Weller. Two years since
Mr.. Weller defeated Hon. Thomas
Updegraff, confessedly the strongest
man in the ranks OF the Republicans
in that District, and afser serving
honorably and faithfully, he has been
renominated for reelection. In
the present mixed condition OF things
in that District, there are various
reasons why Mr. Weller should be
reelected. Chief among those, is
the fact Of his faithful service in
Congress. Indiana has her Hol-
man, and Iowa her Weller. Con-
gresham Weller has earned, and
Well earned, the sobriquct OF Oh
jcctor. Yes he is an objcctor. He
objected to the $4,000 steal for the
Siamese Embassy, which our own
w. ID. Washburn of Minneapolis,
uied so hard to wrest from tho pub
lie Treasury. 1t was Mr.. Weller who
checkmated Washburn, thanks to
his objective qualities. So it is with
the Public Land steals, that are
clamoring for recognition in Con-
gress. Every last one of them, finds
Il relentless foe in this Reform Con-
gresham. When it WAS ascertained
| that the Northern Pacific Railroad,
| which received from the General
Government, a Land Grant, embrace

Iowa, had forfeited its Grant. it was

sumo the grant, and open it to actual

longs, l.. ii. Weller is not a tool of
Railroads. Mark that down for all
it is worth In the matter OF pen
sions to Union Soldiers, we have
been especially pleased, and even
disappointed in Mr.. Weller. Every
bill pensioning those who fought to
crush out rebellion. has received
his support, and cor !ial vote. For
these and Il hundred other reasons
Mr.. Weller ought To be reelected
And we believe he will be. He is a
courageous antimonopolist He is
IN inveterate enemy OF class Legis-
lation. He is against Land Grants
to Railroad syndieates. He is for
pensions for Union soldiers. He is
in favor OF wholesome modifica-
ton OF the tariff. And finally l.. IL.

It is true that the ouack left out of his list the particular drug arsenic-upon which the value of the save depended. but this little trick remained un- discovered, from the fact that Che doctors, knowing that the preparation came from very respectable druggist felt shat they were safe in taking the pronared fee without going through troublesome analysis.
