Significant Address.


Significant Address.
DIES MONIES, Oct. 20.-An address to
the Republican si-Prohibitionists of
Iowa has just been given to tho public,
and IS attracting wide attention. It
calls upon Republicans not to be mis-
led by tho local issue" campaipr.
which Democrats have SO far waped.
and declares that there is abundant owl
dence to show that if successful, what
Is now called in anticipation merely an
anti prohibition victory will be used to
further the ends of the National Demo-
cracy.
The significance of the address is tho
signatures. 1t is signed exclusively by
those who as delegates in the Republi-
can State convention voted against the
Prohibition plank, and denounced it in
the strongest terms. At the timo thew
threatened to bolt, and many openly
declared they would. With unimportant
exceptions all of them have signed the
present address. Great i'm portance is
attached by the Republican leaders to
this action of these representative

it will keep many in line. The signers
reside for the most part in the eastern
or river counties, which have boon dis
gruntled on prohibition.
The campaign has become one of
great bitterness, and all sorts of charges
and counter charges fill the papers
Governor Boies is now making three
speeches day and is covering a great
amount of territory. IL. c. Wheeler,
the Republican candidate, makes no
speeches whatever, but is shaking a

Their executive committee has made
requests on the quiet of both candidates
to sign certain papers pledging the use
OF the veto against any further railroad
legislation. Wheeler is stated to have
refused to sign anything, although de-
claring he is in practical accord with
their ideas. The Republicans greatly
fear Boies will yield, as it is an open
secret that he received the greater part
OF the railroad vote two years ago.

that all men were born free and equal.

lty Of this Union became fact, and
when all OF our institutions from Cali
fornIa to Virginia and from Maine to
Louisiana were harmonized. then tho
Republican party hau fulfilled it's mis-
sion and its days upon this earth were
numbered"
The speaker discussed tho force bill
very minutely and arraigncd the Repuo-
lican party for fostering this obnoxious
measure. lie paid high tribute to the
generalship of Senator German i'll de-
1eatlng this measure and also to the
Republican Senators of the West who
loved their country and the constitute
OF this great Republic more than they
loved partisan legislation.
Senator Daniel declared himself in
favor of free coinage of silver and said
that ho wished the very dew that falls
upon the grass might be silver. he
wished that the icicles that form under
the caves of the house might be of sill
yer, he wished that it would driZzle
silver, that it would hail silver, that the
very flood gates of Heaven might be
opened and that it would rain down sill
yer.
The Senator spoke at some length on
the platform of the Farmers Alliance
adopted at a convention held in Lynch
burg about year ago, which he con-
sidered the most scathing Indictment
of Republican rule he had ever read.
lie advocated railroad commission
which he thought would DO wise and
Just to The people of every city in tho
State and also spoke of the mechanics
lien law.
lie closed his speech by calling on all
Democrats in this district to vote for
Marshall and Thomas and to vote as
often as circumstances would permit.
Chairman Hardaway announced that
there would be another meeting Satur.
day night at tho courthouse.
