DEBORAH, To-, Oct. 19.-Gov. Boies
and Senator Bestow met with royal
welcome from the people of Northwest
ern Iowa Saturday, and large delega-
tons were present from Chickasaw.
Fayette and Allamakee counties as well
as most Of the adult population of Win
neshiek. The governor and party
reached here just after the noon hOnr,
having come all the way from the big
meeting at Muscatine Friday night. At
Colmar, twelve miles away, they were
met by a band OF music and reception
committee of leading Democrats of the
northeast corner Of the state, in
Guiding NJ. j. Carter. member of
the state central committee from this

who is candidate for superintendent

of Fayette county; Representative Day
ton, of Allamakee; John Foley, of

and others. who accompanied them 10
the seat of Winneshiek county. The
train was crowded with men anxious to
meet the governor, and during the run
to the point of destination as many of
them as possible were presented to him
personally.
AT the station at DEBORAH the crowd
Was So Dense
1t was with difficulty the governor
could make his way to the carriage in
waiting. After dinner he was driven
to the court house park. The speakers
stand had been erected i'll the street
facing to the north, south of the court
house, and the space between was
crowded with farmers. Gov. Bodies
was introduced by Professor Rogue. of
Luther college, as Iowa'S most dis
tinguiShed son, who, in the words of
Gov. Sherman, had given the state the
best, the ableSt and the most dlgnified
administration of any governor since
Grimes. The audience of fully 5000
cheered this fitting compliment, and
their cheers were redOubled when the
governor arose and uncovered his sill
very head and bowed his acknowledge
ments. AT this point an enthusiastic
Democrat who was pacing to and fro
upon the terrace OF the court house
yard, proposed three cheers for the
present and next governor OF Iowa,
and the asSemblage responded with
hearty good will.
The crowd was composed largely of
farmers. and to the issue that chiefly
concern them in this campaign Gov.
BOies addressed himself. He said that
the editor of the Republican paper in
DEBORAH had addressed some questions
TO him. that one of these at least was
couched III respectful language, and, as
it had a bearing upon the issues Of the
campaign, it deserved respectful an
SWer. The query was: "Why is it, if
corn raising has not been profitable,
Iowa farmers continue to accumulate
properties The governor said: lit is
true that Iowa farmers have been ac-
cumulating property, and they have
done it simply by working long and hard
and practicing the most niggardly econ
Omy." The governor

said, sis accommodating property, and at
the end of the year will have saved $3.50.
We know men who work for s. day
and spend every cent of 1t. They are
bent on enjoying life as they go along,
but they do not accumulate property.
One way the farmers oflowa have made
money is by the rise of land. A few

worth $50 to $40, but they did
not make it by raising corn. And
now if this Republican editor is
in the crowd" said the governor, land
will stand up beside these farmers, we
will readily determine who leads the
most laboriOus life; who is compelled to
practice the most niggardly economy,
and then if his wife will stand up with
the farmers wives in this audience we
will see who it is that wears the fine
clothes and shows the advantages in
culture possessed by the city-bred peo-
pie, and then, when they are on their
feet, let them tell us of the number of
watering places and other summer re
sorts they have spent the heated term
at for the past several seasons
The farmers heartily applauded the
governors fitting response to the Re
publican editors interrogatory. Gyo.
BoieS then entered a decided pro-
test against the Republican charge,
either direct or implied, that the farm
erS are class of chronic grumblers.
He said nothing would suit the Repub-
lican politicians better than that they
should meekly and silently bend their
backs to the imposition of future bur-
dens, but he advised them to complain
when they were not rightly treated and
to serve notice upon the Republican
politicians that discrimination against
the agricultural class would not be
longer tolerated. The governor was
given three cheers as he hurriedlv
jumped into carriage to catch the
train TOR Independence.
