The County Ticket,

Put In nomination at Lime Springs
gives universal satisfaction ID green
hackers and democrats In all parts
OF the county, and also to a large
number OF republicans who will
quietly on election day vote for John
NJ. Mccoy for Representative: to re

J. Lowry for Treasurer; for John r.
Lydon for Auditor: as well as for all
the others nominated at Lime
Springs. But the Office more i'm
portant to the people than all the
others Is that Of Representative. 1t
Is notorious that all the monopolies
existing in the state OF Iowa which
owe their existence and continuance
to law. have been created and pro-
tected by the republican party. The
leaders and representative men Of
the party are either the creatures or
the tools Of the corporate monopo-
lies, and they SO shape legislation
that republican members, who are
simply the followers of republican
leaders, are compelled to vote, and
do vote, for measures obnoxious to
to the public interests. rather than
break their connection with the re-
publican party. The opposition 10 the
republican party seeks to control
and regulate the railroads by law: it
seeks to compel corporations doing
business in Iowa to incorporate un-
der our state law. it seeks the in
terests Of the laborers engaged in
mining coal in the state by adoptin &

while he might personally favor the

The Dubuque Telegraph says the
House and Senate Journals as kept
are disgrace, which is a truth that
no man will question who has occa-
sion to examine them. The trouble
is some man is elected as clerk of
each branch Of the legislature who
has performed some mean partisan
work, and not because he is qualified
for the position. The way to remedy
the evil is to relegate the men who
have been thus warding imbecility
to the walks Of private life.

Onawa Oct. 10.-The largest po-
litical meeting ever bcld in Monona
county was addressed by General
Weaver at Maplcton to-day. An
audience of ut least one thousand
filled the hall to its utmost capacity.
OF the six or seven hundred voters
present. perhaps one hundred were
republicans, the balance made up
about equally OF democrats and
greenbacEers. General Weaver's
speech was mastery exposure Of
the false prctense and hypocrisy Of
the republican party. He reviewed
from the loyal soldiers standpoint
the trumped up charges of the
Register against Senator Whiting,
and in the course Of his speech read
the following testimonial:
We, the undersigned, ex-soldiers
Of the union army, certify that we
have lived many years in Monona
county, Iowa. some OF us before the
war, who enlisted from this county.
We have known Senator G. Z.
Whiting, either personally or by
reputation during the whole time Of
our residence in the county. We
have never known him to do any
thing or heard him say anything
which would cause Us to think or
suspect he was disloyal or an enemy
Of the union during the rebellion,
and We know that such is not his
reputation in the county. We have
seen the statements and affidavits
in the State Register of Sept. -. 1885
and feel that they do Senator Whit
ing great injustice. We know that
some Of the signatures were obtain
ed by fraud and misrepresentation.
Most of us have always voted the
republican ticket, and some Of US
will vote for the present republican
nominee for governor but we believe
that in making this statement we
only do what simple justice and
