IF dispossessed of our abiding faith in
the winning virtues of the republican
candidates and the principles they SO
well represent, we should still anticipate
with confidence the outcome of the ma
tional contest which will eliminate at
the polls one week from next Tuesday.
The fight in New York between the
administration, the governor and the
mayor of the city promises to create a
disaffection fatal to Cleveland's cause.
In May Mayor Hewitt said he could
not go upon reviewing stand with the
president and maintain his self respect
and on Saturday last Gov. Hill made
haste to escape from the city in order
to avoid being placed in similar prox-
unity to his great chief. The emolu-
mentS of Office in New York are so
much greater than those at the disposal
of the president that he is unable to
crack the party whip over their heads
with effect, so that the fight promises
to continue to the death. Republicans
may reasonably hope for safe major
ity in the Empire state, and losing that
the president loses all for his architect
can conceive no combination which will
elect without New York.

TIE wisdom of the Chicago conven-
ton has been indicated by the strength
developed by the candidates chosen and
the platform adopted. Mr.. Harrison
has received delegations and made
speeches for fifteen weeks and in all of
his utterances has ever argued with
ability and convincing reasoning the
policy of protection. Such is the i'm
pOrtance of that which has been ac-
cepted as the main issue that other ar
gument has been subordinated and in
all notable addresses been made Incl
dental. This fact is concession to the
democratic party and allows the people
to forget the blunders of the organized
appetite. Every student of current
events is irrestibly convinced that of
all the candidates before that conven.
tiOn Harrison is the best representa-
tive of the protective policy. 1t has
been shown that for years previous he
had in private and public advocated
the policy and his every speech since
the convention has contained gems of
WnansWerable argument. His inter
course with delegations from all classes
has shown that he lives close to the
people, sharing their losses and their
prosperity. Mr.. Morton, while less ac-
tive. has demonstrated his interest in
the issue and by that patriotic epigram
III his letter of acceptance america
for Americans, native and adopted"
has won the esteem OF thousands of his
fellow countrymen. The argument for
protection issues from every factory in
| the land, from the mouth of every
wOrkingman, is proclaimed by the i'll
creased value upon every acre of land
| by better and more remuntrative prices
received for products. The question is
presented to the people i'll business
light and that demands earnest and
thoughtful attention. There can ON,
be confidence that the verdict will be
overwhelmingly in favor of Harrison
Morton and protection. The peOpl.
are not ready to sacrifice their comforts
they now enjoy and the best market il
the world to English capitalists, ant
they will severely rebuke the conduc
of Cleveland and his faction of tn,
democratic party ror introducing th
un-American policy Of Golden int
American politics.

\ brilliant torch light procession, es-
corted by the cornet band, preceded the
speech of Ex-Gov. Stone at court house
hall on Tuesday evening. Conspicuous
in the parade was the Douglas township
delegation bearing banners appropri-
ataiy Inscribed with notices of senti-
ment pertaining to the protection issue.
The meeting was called to order by
Col. +. &. White, who had enjoyed a
former acquaintance with the speaker,
whom he introduced with a most pleas
ing and complimentary speech. In the
opening Col. stone recounted the Oc-
casion of the promotion of Col. White
and spoke eloquently of his merit as a
soldier. Mr.. Stone was accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Turk Moore, of Win
terset. who favored the audience with
campaign music OF the lirst order. The
musical feature OF the evening was
complemented bye a male quartet of
this city. Col. stones address was the
most convincing Of any delivered in
Audubon during the campaign, and
@as rompiimGnted by hearers of all
parties. His utterauces are imbued
with patriotism and eloquence. For
two and half hours he propounded
incontrovertible argument, cleaned from
the pages " history and the experience
of recent decades, embellished with
pungent sayings, which kept his au-
dience in good humor and commanded
the closest attention throughout. His
presence and manner were pleasing
while his voice, well cultivated in the
school of experience, fell tremendously
upon the ears of his hearers. The re-
publican party and the protection issue
have a strong advocate in the person of
Col. Stone, and the people of this vicin-

ONE of the prominent issues is
whether we are going to have presi-
dent who will deliver speeches and
messages made up of intelligent, in
structive and patriotic utterances or
shall we continue in office chief exec
utive whose messages are from the
pens of superior underlings and whose
speeches are recitations from the en-

ing for the thought and intelligence of
the nation has been a living reproach,

there must be a change.

METHODS COMPARED.

The ways apd means committee of
the democratic house, when tuuoilief
ing their free trade Mills BILL repeatedly
refused a hearing to parties interested
and who wished to furnish information
acquired through years Of experience
in their respective occupations. one
man from Ohio asked to be heard in the
name of 10000 operatives, but was
turned away. With what reason, then,

are implicitly Informed by committee
of the party in power that the questions
involving the welfare of the people is
none of their concern, and that if they

crate of their interests. There will be
| such an indignant protest at the polls
against such methods that the deposed
party will be driven to England for
sympathy in the hour of its loneliness.
When the time came for action in
the senate the committee invited testi=
mony from those best calculated to
know the needs Of the respective inter
ests. Several weeks were consumed in
hearing these witnesses so that when
the committee prepared its bill it was
able to do so intelligently, with knOwl-
edge of the effect proposed changes
would have. They first estimated the
amount of reduction in revenues re-
quired and upon that basis sought the
desired medium, adding here and re-
ducing there, and in conclusion pro,
posed measure reducing the revenues
by sevGfal millions more than the house
bill, and by means which III no wise

This brief comparison of the means
employed by the representatives of the
respective parties is an effective argu
ment in favor OF the republican party
which stands uncompromisingly fol
protection, and shows that the demo
cratic party will urge the free trade
policy irrespective of its effect. W.
cannot give the party credit for fail

The record Of Peter y. Dey while on
the board of railway commissioners. as
compiled by the N0r$haU Times-Re- |

to prove him not in sympathy with the
people If is a peculiar feature of this
campaign that the Homestead which
Processes to be anti.mOnopOly or moth
ing, is in favor of the election of Dey.
The zeal of this organ is certainly mis-
guided in this instance, for Dey has
favored every intrigue to embarrass
the state, and stay or cripple the laws
framed to control corporations. Below
is a part of Mr.. Dey's record:
Had the present law passed two years
ago, and Dey then been a candidate for
election as commissioner, he would
have been opposed by every shipper
and by every voter familiar with his
trucking to the corporation idea of
manufacturing railroad rates. Now
tho democrats expect him to steal the
thunder of the two republican members
of the commission, who had the ability
and courage to tackle the situation
from the standpoint of the people.

for years, the opponent Of state Ieguia-

Who. upon his own molten, without

Who thus became EGapGIsiDle FOR the

THE democratic candidate for clerk
of the courts is young man regard
ing whose personal qualities we would
raise no question, but his qualifications
for the Office to which he aspires may
well be considered before ballots are
east. His experience has been confined
almost exclusively to the school room
and in that there is nothing to fit him for
the duties of clerk. The Twenty-frst
general assembly materially changed
the laws pertaining to court matters, so
that the duties of the clerk are multi
tudinous and complicated. Only a
knowledge of legal forms, coupled with
experience qualities one to transact the
business with accuracy and satisfaction
to clients and associate officers. Mr.. c.

the office and has become so thoroughly
competent as to meet the hearty appro-
baton of court officers and men of both

THERE is no advantage for the
American manufacturer in "the mar

access to them today that we would
have under free trade in the United

the democratic party is not an inter
national affair, but would open our
markets to foreigners without securing
anything in return. The American
market is the best in the world and I'M
til we are able to supply that, the pfopo-
sition to secure foreign sale of our
goods is the most fragrant vagary and
fallaey that can be conceived.

ONLY TIGILANcE REQUIRED.

The only means necessary to complete
republican victory in this county is a
careful and thorough effort to get out
the full republican vote. Four years
ago the democratic electoral ticket had
a majority of in the county, and 2243
votes were cast, more than have been
polled at any election since. Subsequent
elections have shown republican gain,
and while it may be assured that a
larger vote will be cast, representing
the growth of the county it is equally
true that a large number of the new
voters are of the republican faith.
Possessing as we certainly do, n major
ity in the county, it behooves the COM
mittee men to urge upon all the neces-
sity of voting, voting early and voting
straight. Rest assured that the Oppo-
sition will develop its greatest strength,
but that is unavailing if we are equally
yigilant. The county is republican on
a full vote. Rustic and hustle it out.

HENRY J. PHiLLPoP who is spokes-
man for the democratic party in Iowa,
and who has recently been in the en-
ploy of the national democratic com
mittee, is one of the most rank free
traders in the nation. In speech at
Ackley, Iowa, in 1883 he said:
81 arraign the republican party for
enforcing a tariff to keep up tbs wages
of laboring men. | don't care how low
the wages go in getting to bed rock and
absolute free trade. 1t will be all right
ff they have to work for 1919 cents a
day. They do not need protection and
shall not have it,"
And this is the sympathy of men
who are now advocating free trade in
America.
