The Keokuk Qowa) Gate City, one of
the Western Republican newspapers which
realize what has happened, has no patience
with the stupid organs which stand by the
McKinleyism that has overthrown the
party. "The Gate City and it's editor" it

helped make the Republican party and it's
policy when it used to sweep the country
from end to end election after election, and
when Iowa used to give from $4,000 to
$4,000 majority. We are getting tired of
seeing the Republican party run by half
story-headed idiots. y

says: cit may be true, as Speader Reed
maintains, that the Republicans would not
have been defeated this year if the nsw

earlier; and on the other hand, there is
some reason to believe that more prolong-
ed discussion Gf certain features of that
measure would have increased the number
of worms in our lettuce"
