Special Correspondence to the Globe
SHELDON, Iowa, Oct. 9.-Hon. Daniel Camp
bell, of Monona county, Iowa, Greenback elector
on the fusion ticket of this state, and Mrs
Martha Strickland, of st. Johns. Michigan, spoke
last night in this place on the political issues of
the day. The day had been cold and stormy and
the meeting was not extensively advertised, but
Notwithstanding all this and the darkness at least
one hundred ans fifty people assembled. in
Whites hall to listen TO the speeches The
audience was composed principally of the busi-
ness men OF the city-thoughtful, intelligent
voters, who gave most respectful attention
throughout and frequently signifed their appro-
oatisn OF the sentiments advanced by hearty
applause ThS mayor, Hon. j. j. Hartenbower,
presided and introduced the speakers. Mr.
Campbell was first TO address the audience, and
he presented his ideas in manly, argumentative
manner which won the respect of his hearers.
Ihere was an entire absence in
his speech of villifcation and abuse, so
frequently INDUCED in by Republican speakers,
but he gave searching analysis of class legisla-
ton, and showed its evil influence upon the
neral and material well being of the people, He
is gentleman who will hold the attention Of any
audience who may have the good fortune to hear
him speak. He was followed by Mrs. Strickland
in an address which for eloquence, logic and
rhetorical finish greatly surpassed any other
speech we have heard during this campaign She
made powerful appeal in behalf of the wage
laborers oppressed by our system of pretended d
protection. She urged, in words of thrilling
power, that party lines be obliterated and all
who are noble and chivalrous join in a crusade to
free the oppressed poor from the tyranny of ag-
gregated wealth. In beauty of diction and pro-
pricty of delivery, her speech was model for
orators. She should address large audiences of
statesmen and scholars. Fusion is working well
in northwestern Iowa, and if accessions to if
frpm the Republican ranks Is as great in other
parts of the state they are here Iowa will give
the Fusion ticket 10, 900 majority.

He then proceeded to argue there should be a
change in the administration of the government
and gave among the reasons of the conces-

that the tariff wass laid uneoualIv

necessary for the economical administration of
government. If these faults were conceded by
the party which had been in power nea.ly Quar-
