speeches i'm the German sections of Iowa.
lie found the Germans Disguised with
the Republican party and determined to
rebukc il by voting for Cleveland. These
people have heretofore voted the Rcpub-
lican ticket. and their diSlifcctiOn is
serious blow 10 Republican hopes in that
State DR.. Miller found this the case in
Indiana, and ne believes that Demo
cratic claims as to Iowa and the Hoosicr
State have a very good foundation. DIR.
Miller viii resume his lectures at the
University on Communism and Social
ism.
The students of the University have
formed a Democratic CLUB. which will see
that the Democratic voters among their
number cast their ballots. Mr.. ii. ID.
EcktOn is president. McsSrS. II. -. Eek
ton. y. :. Bryan. X. VI. Peuick. Charles
W. LaRue and II. W. Fauntleroy were
added 10 the county committee. The ni-
versity being beyond the city limits, most
of the students who have votes here vote
a. county precincts.
A mass-mectug of the students has
been held in regard to the recent So
called prize-fght bctWCen negroes near
the University. They condemned the
practice, and declared their belief that
all who were present as Spectators acted
thoughtlcssly and with no intention of
aiding or abGting a violation of the law.
The fact is, the fight was nothing more
than a boxing bout. IN which heavy gloves
prevented punishment.
The report that General Field has said
in some Of his Southern speeches that he
could 20 into PENNSYLVANIA and get aili-
davits as damaging to the character of
Robert r. Lee as was the PULASKI tcStl-
mony i'm regard TO Weaver has caused 40
little surprise and disgust here. Mr. j.
W. Rodes the manager of the Alliance
store in this city, and who as one of
General Lees cOulicrS had excellent OPP
portuuitcs of knowing what General
Lees habits were. says he can procure
the affidavit of thirty men i'm TINS county
to prove the falsity of Fields lnsinuation
that Lee allowed Expectations to Dee com
mittcd 10y his soldiers i'm Pennsylvania.
"Any statement added MIR. k0dcs that
carries the idea that General Lees con-
duct I'm Pennsylvania or anywhere else
was other than honorable is the basest
kind of falschOod.

IIostlcr Puryis az the Chesapeake and
Ohio coal bins and ran down the track
at a high rate OF speed, but huallN
