Mr.. Warner at Barneveld.

To The Iowa County Democrat.
BARNEvELD, Wis, Aug. 13-Last
night was the opening of the cam
paign in this town and it was a great
night for the Barneveld democrats;
for they heard, from lips which had
always been eloquent of tariff protec-
ton, the first cry for tariff reform.
Many republicans were changed into
democrats by the light which was
thrown upon the subject, as Saul was
changed under the light of heaven.
About eight o'clock the Barneveld
Cornet Band marched to Davis man.
mouth hall, where large audience of
citizens had met to listen to argu-
ments in favor of tariff reform. But
the most important feature was the
presence Of Hon. w. c. Warner of the
Tariff Reform club of New York city.
Mr.. A. J. Davis, presided over the
meeting and after a few remarks in
troduced Mr.. Warner who was greet
ed with great applause and enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Warner said he was pleased
to see so many ladies were present and
that they would soon be given the
right to vote and they would vote for
tariff reform. He went on to answer
the statement made by Maj Mckinley
and made the subject so plain that
any one of ordinary intelligence could
understand. He produced such simple
illustrations that many republicans as
well as democrats said that they never
understood the subject before. Every
street corner was place of tariff dis
cussion till about eleven o'clock which
showed to every thinking mind that
the people were awakening to the
burden under which they groan.

The Press and Mr.. BabcOck.

The nomination of Hon. J. w. Bah
cock, Of Necedah, for congress is
awakening considerable interest in
political circles in the third district,
and some of the press comments there
on are quite racy. The Juneau
County Argus, democratic says:
"Babcock played dirt on o. B.
Thomas, ex-member of congress. The
tin-plate statesman may now get a
chance to give Mr.. Babcock's congress
sional aspiration very black eye. If
being elected on the Bennett law issue,
and then voting squarely against it en-
titles J. w. Babcock to the nomination
for member Of congress on the republi-
can ticket in this district, then he
ought to have it. His constituents,
however, will see to it that he does
not secure the election"
The following are from many other
paragraphs as bad, or some worse, in
The Adams County Press, a stalwart
republican paper.
The great lumber combine is in the
Saddle and some farmers are happy.
Now when the farmer goes to mar
ket and has to buy lumber from some
member of the great combine, and
finds he has to pay bonus of $500
and upwards on each thousand feet,
he should smile and be happy, and
vote for member of the great COM
bine for congress, and keep right on
paying his $500
Before the convention was held The
Mineral Point Tribune published the
following with regard to Mr.. Babcock's
candidacy:
Another missionary, in the person
Of Joe Huntington, of Sank county,
passed through Iowa county last week
enlightening the people as to the merits
and claims Of Joe Babcock, the lum-
herman candidate for a seat in con-
gress. This is the third nomad who
has traversed the county on the same
errand. None of them favored the
Tribune with call, but from those
seen it is learned that these tourists
all urge in Bab's cause, that he is a
jolly good fellow, "well heeled" and
willing to come down handsome for
the campaign fund if nominated.
None Of these avant couriers suggest
any other qualification of Bab's, ap-
parently not deeming any other neces-
sary. From the known impecuniosity
of the tourists, it is fairly to be as
sumed that their zeal in Bab's behalf
is stimulated by something more SUBJ
stantial than promises of places when
he secures seat in congress.

The Republican convention which
met at Madison on Thursday of last
week nominated for representative
in congress Hon. J. w. Babcock of
Necedah. If the farmers of south
western Wisconsin, who have been
prescribed for the last quarter of a
century, by high tariff laws, elect Mr..
Babcock, who is a lumber baron, and
his grown rich as beneficiary of those
laws, they will exemplify spirit of
meekness greater than that which,
after the right cheek has been smitten
turneth the left cheek also.
