"lhe personal campaign which the
AUDUBON REPUBLICAN has been con-
Quoting viii aid largely in defeating the
republican party next election. Its
editor belongs to the worn out gang of
political fossils who are conducting
Brooks campaign. "--Adcocdte.
And now there is standing room only
for the fossils. Where are the bright
particular stars who managed the Brad
ley campaign?
It is difficult to get back to earth af-
ter an election in which everybody is
inter ested. When issues and persons
become the absorbing topic of CONVEX
satlou and thought for weeks, IL is diff
ficult to change the subject during the
one night following the eventful day.
The victorious live in "a halo of earthly
glory, and the defeated find pastmo in
discussing the returns to learn where
they missed connection. Sooner or la
ter, however, we Ill exhaust the fun
and forget the unpleasantness of cam
paigns and return TO business. Soon
we shall be engrossed with the prob
lens of heavy clothing and coal supply,
ani eventually emerge from the winter
of our discomfort to find ourselves dis.
cussing the presidential probabilities of
1892.
The catalogue Of Elkhorn College, at
Ellihorn, Iowa, for 1891 .o2, has just been
issued. The catalogue gives evidence
that the college is in n prosperous con
dition. Elkhorn College is recognized
as the foremost Danish educational in
stitution in the United States The
enrolment at the present time is no.
The courses of study outlined in the
catalogue are liberal and thorough.
The catalogue lays stress upon the inn
porta uce that is attached TO the study
of the English language and recognizes
the fact that "it is strictly necessary
for every person living in this country
to be able to thoroughly understand
and iluently speak English" Special
lists are employed "who know just where
the difficulty lies with foreigners in Sc
curing correct pronunciation" An In.
stitution Of this kind is power for
good that is worthy Of general recog,
milton. -Register.
There was republican victory won
in Audubon county last week that is
greatly pleasing to all the republicans
of the state. Notwithstanding u pre-.
vious democratic majority of 100, the
republicans of Audubon county elected
Dir. A. l.. Brooks representative by
majority of Is, and also elected all of
their county ticket with the exception
of sheriff. DIR. Brooks is a young man
of ability and energy and he made one
of the most gallant fights that have
ever been made in the state, defeating
Mr.. Frank p. Bradley who is one OF the
best organizers and among the most
prominent democratic leaders in Iowa.
1t was u grand victory and II was
by the sterling leadar"' won
man WIZ --"'hp Vi young
81, nas demonstrated qualities
of worth and leadership that all Hawk
eye republicans are proud of. Register.
The board of supervisors convened
Monday to canvass the election returns,
which show but little change from the
table as published last week. The
board has been busy with general bust
ness and adjourned today. 1t is prob,
ably the last session, unless unforeseen
business Shall require special |
meeting, at which Mr.. A. +. Arm.
strong will be present, his term explr-
ingnext month. The gcntleman's super
Tor business ability has been of great |
value to the county, during the four
years of his service by appointment and |
election. With attention to detail, he |
has had a personal knowledge of the |
county's affairs and assisted in its
management with conscientious effort |
to secure the best results. Mr.. Arm.
strong was solicited to permit his name
to go before the people for reelection,
in the belief that projects established
required familiar KNOWLEDGE -
~ Al :.
i. form. But this
-. .oremptorily declined, pre-
--.1ng to give his whole attention to
private business, where the remunera-
ton is more commensurate with the
criticism. BY the new organization to
be effected January LIST, Mr.. Bickel-
haupt will succeed to the craftsmanship.
Mr.. Bickelhaupt has given the benefit
of much practical experience TO the
county's service, and has escaped with
as little criticism as usually falls TO the
lot of supervisor. Mr.. Hunts first
years work has resulted in bounty ON
gopher scalps, and he will probably be
satisfied II successful in securing a re.
peal of that bounty during the course
OF his second year. Mr.. Mathiesen, the
member-elect, is personally agreeable
and has managed his own business sue.
| cessfully, which Is cause for the belief
OF his party that he will do as well for
the county.
