All For Democratic Glory.

The republicans Of Audubon county
won the grandest victory in the history
of the county organization two years
ago. For the first time in the county
their whole ticket was elected. 1t was
done as against democratic officials who
had served but one term. All the
credit for that victory was attributable
directly to the fact that entire harmony
prevailed in party cOunSelS. 1t is true
the majorities were small, but they were
clean and all sufficient.
This year the same harmony SO far
as the party is concerned prevails and
the nominations have been equally jul
dicious. There appears nothing to
cause a doubt that the result will be
equally satisfactory, with the gratifying
exception that the majOritieS will be
largely increased With these very
promising circumstances prevailing the
tactics of the opposition, in whatever
form it may appear, will be to create
discOrd in the ranks of the republicans
and dissatisfaction with the officials
by 2 direct party vote the opposition
could hayo no reasonable hope of Sc
curing the election Of any candidate.
The action of the mass convention
whose largest vote was forty-Seyen is
calculated to disturb this harmony in
the republican camp. Whatever may
| be the result that is the intention. If
it shall draw equally from each old
party il vii, be neutral and without eff
feet; but If the pfepondepance OF votes
for that ticket shall be cast by republi
cans then the republican party suffers
loss. The democrats having no hope
have nothing to lOsei hence if the pre-
ponderance Of third party votes shall
come from the democrats, the effect il
merely to slightly decrease their part!
vote. Thc chances Of the third part,
scheme are with the democrats. The,
have nothing to lose and everything t.
gain. The scheme is a bare-faccd fraud
The trade or compromise by which tw'
candidates from each old party az,
. placed on the third ticket may appea
INNOCENT but it is to be remembered
that the opposition offers 10 considera
ton for the advantage given their tw
candidates whose chances are thus il
creased. 1t is all for the hope of demo
, cratic success, and with that accom-
. plished, in whole or in part, the leader
and press of that party would laug
and jeer at the gullibility of those VIII
aided them, even while despising thei
duplicity.
1 We confidently believe that the repul
! licanS will sanction the wisdom of tn
I convention and elect the ticket nom
1 mated. 1t is a ticket of good and tru
= men who have been efficient officer
: faithful and equal to every trust an
t responsibility imposed.

Witty to the head OF tho ticket, With.
out so much as presentation of the
fisheries treaty or the slightest discus
sion of the existing differences, he said
that the sentiments Of Grover Cleveland
were his sentiments. What the presi-
dent had promulgated he endorsed and
that was the end of it. 1t might have
been expected that one who had been
so long in public as Thurman could
present something in the line of argu-
ment upon that uppermost ispue, the
tariff. Here, also, he repeated the cheap
and false argument of his chief, and
stated that the tariff is direct tax and
a burden to the people. This was the
sum and substance of his statement,
made without the support of argument
or adornment of any kind. A mere
echo of the fiction Grover Cleveland has
invented in the hour of his emergency
and after having proven false to every
other virtue or principle he has pro-
fessed. Thurman lost much of dignity
and forfeited respect when he became
thus sacriicingly subseryient to his
chief. History will record that Allen
G. Thurman was once great man, but
that in an hour of abnormal ambition
he fell victim to the false doctrines of
the diSSembler from Buffalo.

TIE people of this republic are no
longer threatened by an epidemic of
insomnia on account of the surplus in
the national treasury. The democratic
party has furnished the remedy, and it
is specific. The actual surplus is now
less than S21.OO0,0O0. Four year ago
democratic orators charged, and it was
proven by actual count of the cash,
that republicans had accumulated a
a surplus of Sl20,OOOOO. This admin
istration has been very actiyein accom-
plishing reduction, not by reduction of
taxation, but by extrayagant appropri-
atoms. The river apd harbor bill ap-
prOpriated s22,GOO,OO0, mainly to dry
runs in the south, and which was
larger than any Of its predecessors.
Senator Allison produced statistics be-
fore the senate the other day to show
that in the four years of the Cleveland
administration the appropriations had
exceeded by S95,OOO,OO0 those during
the four years of the Arthur regime.
Senator Allison DOGS not indulge in
buncOmbe, but is the best financial
statiStician and counsel in the senate.
So the subject for national sOlicitude is
not for the surplus, but anxiety to
know the result of four more years of
this most extravagant administration
may well be entertained.

The Judicial Convention.


The republican, judicial convention
for the Fifteenth district was held at
Red Oak Tuesday. The first and in
formal ballot resulted in 90 for An
drews, q for Phelps and 80 for Macy.
Balloting continued without result and
with but slight variation until the fif-
teenth ballot, when Macy received Al,
Phelds %, and Andrews ID. On the
motion of the chairman of the Cass
delegation, seconded by Audubon's
chairman the nomination was made
unanimous. The seventeen votes of
Pottawattamie were divided from start
to finish as follows: For Macy Z, for
Andrews 8, and for Phelps 4. Several
other counties were divided in equal
proportions. The Council Bluffs Nom
pareu has the following sketch of the
life of the candidate:
Nathan w. Macy was born at Knights
town, Henry county, Ind, March 2Sth,
1913. lie removed with his parents to
Springdale, Cedar county, Iowa, in 1862.
Worked on farm till the fall of 1868,
when he entered the state university of
Iowa, and where he graduated from the
classical department in June, 1873. lie
graduated from the law department in
June, 1876. lie taught school at West
Liberty, Iowa, one year, and at West
Branch three years, and January, 1880,
began the practice of law at Harlan,
Shelby county, Iowa. His parents were
members of the Friends church. His
father was a radical anti-slavery advo-
cate, and joined the republican party at
its birth and gave it his unyielding sup
port till his death.

There Is a Lie Out,

Chairman Young of the state conyen-
ton made very impressive a certain in
consistency in the democratic mode Of
campaigning when he said "The dem
Ocratic speaker takes the western far
mer behind the school house and tells
him that their mode of reducing the
surplus will reduce the price of all
manufactured goods which he buys,
but will not reduce the price of the
produce he has to SELL The same dem
ocratic speaker goes to tn eastern man
ufacturer and factory operative, with
draws to a convenient place for an in
terview and says to him that their plan
is to reduce the price of all produce
which he has to buy for the main
tenance of himself and family, but will
not tamper with the goods which he
manufactures and has for sale. If the
western farmer and the eastern manu-
facturer should meet and compare
notes they would discover that there
is lie out"

THE game of bluff is good tactics in
an emergency -Four years ago when
Cleveland's personal character was in
question, and friend inquired of him
the truth of certain allegations he only
made deeper the mystery by saying
tell the truth" That was the greatest
bluff on record, either among states
men or gamesters. On the fisheries
question the president has been truck
ling to the English government, until
his last message, when he breaks from
his former policy and advocates i'm
practical and aggressive methods. 1t
is a wild endeayOr to distract public
attention from his free trade fallacy,
and to convince the public that he is
not in partnership with England. This
bold bluff is second only in number to
that of four years ago.

The Old Roman Degeneratine.

Allen q. Thurman has been a digni-
he'd figure in democratic politics. He
was chosen to fill the second place on
the ticket for the purpose of giving it
vestige of dignity and to have a candi-
date who had appeared in history as
something of statesman. He was
chosen to ride behind representing the
old moss-backed democracy, while Gro
yer Cleveland, representing the Wall
street and monopolist faction, occupies
the front seat, holding the reins and
throwing the dust of an unsavory adj
ministration in the old mans face,
There were those who admired the old
Roman for his stalwart democracy
and for his consistency and persistent
adherence to an avowed policy. But
upon accepting the proposal to run
with Cleveland, he has absorbed all OF
Growers false doctrine and in his posi-
ton on the back seat of the democratic
vehicle, is little more than dummy

GROVER CLEVELAND was never re-
elected to any Office. Thurman has for
years aspired to the presidency, but
accepts his last chance by taking sec

fidence that November 9Th will bring

THE second bill for a public building
at Sioux City has been vetoed by the
president. 1t was preposterous to pre-
sumo that he could be induced to change
his mind and grant that which was
once denied. And besides Iowa is a
"purely agricultural state which only
needs corn cribs and granaries for its
products, and cattle sheds for its people.

A Rim Van Wrinkle.

After lying in trance for nearly two
years. Joseph Guilfoyle, of Binghamton,
N. Y. has just awakened from what
appears to have been but the sleep of a
night. Mr.. Guilfoyle, who was attend
ing the High School, was compelled to
abandon his studies because of his
health, but instead of improving, began
to rapidly decline. Subsequently he
was sent to the country in the hope that
air and exercise would bring him his
former health, but this proved false
hope About two years ago last March
he sank one night into partial trance
or cataleptic sleep, and since that time
he has lain in his remarkable slumber
Friday he awoke, and, though yet some
what weak, he is on the high road to
recovery. OF his sleep he remembers
nothing.

A Snake in n fix.

While at neighbours few day day Us
ago, Mr. George w. Fish, of Indepen-
dence, Kans., heard a racket out in the
Kitchen, and, going out to investigate
the cause, found that a large rattle
snake had crawled into the kitchen and
was fastened in the han1le of Jug in
the following manner: There were
some eggs and jug on the floor when
the snake crawled into the house, and
it swallowed one of the eggs, and, as
the jug was lying on its side, had
crawled through the middle as far as
the egg he had swallowed would admit
and finding another egg convenient as
he crawled through the handle of the
jug, swallowed that egg also and as the
egg was too large to pass through the
handle of the jug, Mr.. Snake was fas-
tened so he could neither move forward
nor backward, there being an egg in
side of him on either side of the lug
handle.

CrOp RepOrt,

The corn report for July, issued by the
Department of Agriculture, shows that
there has been an extension of about
four cent. in the area of corn planted
over that harvested last year, making a
total of about 76.00O,O0O acres. In the
Eastern states, although the planting was
from one to two weeks late, the growth
is average. Considerable damage has
been done in parts of Illinois by the
chinch-bug. In Wisconsin, the cold
spring and cut-worm caused considera-
able re-planting but the crop is vigor-
GUS and promising.
Winter wheat has been below expecta-
ton in the South, but slightly improved
in Eastern states. Spring wheat is
much improved, with an increased acre
age of about per cent; Wisconsin av-
eraging 81; Minnesota, "a; Iowa, 81;
Nebraska, %; Dakota, SO.
The condition of barley is best since
1885, being high in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan, but below in Wis
consin and Minnesota, owing to chinch-
bugs.
Oats are about two-tenths Of one per
cent. lower than in June, with local
drawbacks in the Western states.
Cotton is later than usual in all the
Southern states, with medium stand.
The potato crop is good, with in
creased area.
Hay has been good, with losses from
frost in the Eastern states, with some in
jury and drouth, and some bur mt out in
the South.
In the table. Wisconsin averages, at
corn, 80; wheat, 81; Rye, 50; Oats, 90;
barley, 90; potatoes. 81; sweet potatoes,
100; beans, SO; sorghum, So; tobacco, 81;
clover, 81; timothy, SO; pasture SO; APP
ples. 81.

.sTinnecanoe and Tyler Too,

"Tippecanoe and Tyler too the fa-
nous campaign song in1840,wa written
by the late A. G, Ross, of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio. Not long after he had written
it he was in New York City and a.
tended big Wing ratification meet
ing. The speakers were late. There
was lull. The chairman of the meet
ing said: IF there is a gentleman
present who can stag, let him come
forward. :" Mr.. Ross said to his friend
near him. IF | was up there l could
sing them a song" His remark was
heard by several, and he was immedi-
ately lifted over the shoulders of the
immense audience to the platform,
when he sang "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too" The audience was wild with en-.
thusiasm, and he had to repeat it again
and again, and the next day all over
New York people were humming the
tune. 1t spread all over the country,
and there has never been more popu-
lar campaign song.
