Gov. Hamilton's Speech.

A large crowd turned out to hear
ex-governor Hamilton, of Illinois,
on Monday evening, Oct. L.. The
street parade was highly respectable,
but not as large as ii would have
been had it not threatened rain at
the hour of forning therefor 1t
consisted of the band, the cadet
company, the glee club twenty
strong, and the umbrella brigade,
Although the hall was crowded
most all remained until the close of
the governors speech. After some
preliminaries he took as a text a
part of the Democratic National
platform-where il asserts that
"Since the Mckinley tariff went
into operation there has been ten
reductions of the wages of the
laborlng man 10 one increase" ,"
which he characterized as untrue,
aud in .n incisive and pointed man
ner proceeded to demonstrate the
unrehability of such proclama-
ton. He referred with humorous
sarcasm to the danger of handling
Il cures in demonstrating false
proposition, and spoke of the
corroborating testimony which re.
ports of labor commissions furni sh
in contradicting parts of the Demo
cratic platform. Neither his satiri.
cal allusions, when speaking of the
10 per cent. state bank tax, to the
"good old halcyon days of Demo
cracy," when paper money was of
so uncertain value, nor his keen
rdicule of the latter day Demo
cratic claim Of superior education
and learning, were calculated TO
inspire any great degree OF appro-
baton from the Democratic portion
of his audience; aud the pungency
and accuracy Of his historical
references and statement of facts
were not relished by those "mild-
hammered" Democratic gentlemen
who have been constantly applying
such loving epithets as "robber'
and "thief" to their political OPP.
ponents.
The singing at the hall by the
un.excelled glee club received
merited applause.

There is not a candidate but what
comes up to every requirement.
The Republican party believes in
principles as we'll as men, and in
adopting these principles, which
have nothing but the interests of
the country involved, of patriotism,
protection, honest money and an
honest vote, it offers also for the
oonsi deration of all voters men of
integrity, efficiency and honesty
of purpose. Il has carried this
principle out on its presidential
ticket, its state ticket, its congress
ioual ticket, its legislative ticket
and its county ticket.

The County Treasurership.

3D. Tribune.
The Democratic county conyen-
tion has renominated Mr.. VIM. II.
Curry for county treasurer. Mr..
Curry is gentleman well advanced
in years; he has been a man Of
careful, frugal and saving habits,
and is the possosser Of an ample
competence, and seeks this Office
not for necessary support, but to
increase, if possible, his already
abundant possessions. We are told
that he is the agent Of one or more
insurance companies, which, with
the $4,000 extra paid him By the
county, constitutes quite an item in
the credit column Of his income
account for the last year.
In the life Of Mr.. Curry, though
an honorable one, there has been no
historic conditions which would en-
title him to any particular claim
upon the voters Of this county. His
opponent, a respectable farmer, was
a gallant soldier in the volunteer
service Of Wisconsin in the late
war, and suffered for more than a
year and half the hardships Of
imprisonm ent in Andersonyille TO
maintain the honor and unity Of bis
adopted country.
Voters of Iowa county: y ou are
called upon to decide whether or
not such patriotic services for ones
country should be rewarded.

Desperate Attempt Of Masked
Men to Rob a Train.

A desperate attempt at train robbery was
made few nights ago, just as the Chesa-
peake and Ohio vestibule train, No. 4, was
pulling out of Huntington, w. Va. 1t was
about IL o'clock and the train was
just getting well under way, when
the doors Of the day cars were thrust open
and three masked men armed with pistols
entered and called upon the passengers to
throw up their hands. Two of the .passen-
gers seized one of the robbers, throwing hun
down and attempting to disarm hlm.
In the scuff1e, one of the pas
sengers, German. from CInclnnat1,
who with his wife was on his bridal trip to
Europe, was mortally wounded, the ball en-
tering his abdomen. Another passenger.
Peter Drake. of Cincinnati, was twice
wounded, one ball entering his leg and an
other his arm
Meanwhile Ticket Collector Zingl ey was
irving to secure a pistol. which he finally
succeeded in getting in the baggage car, and
returning opened fire on the robbers, empty
ing all Of the barrels of the pistol he
again returned to the baggage car, secured
another pistol, and began firing. In the
mean time the robbers had torn of their
masks. and the whole train was in intense
excitement. women fainting, children
screaming and everybody who could seeking
shelter under the seats.
The robbers, seeing that their game was
up, pulled the bell cord, stopped the train
and Jumped off in the darkness. 1t was
thought that one or two OF them were
wounded, but this is not certainly known.
These men acted like novices in the busi-
ness.

OF heavily y-armed men, dressed like cowboys
and wearing masks made from bits OF can

Christensen's saloon and dance hall
and made the proprietor empty his tills.
He handed the robbers S35o and four
pistols. Five other men and a couple Of
women in the place were also robbed After
taking drink and treating everybody, the
visitors rode to the street. One of them
proposed to rob the postofice, but the girl
behind the window told them there was no
money on hand, and they went off.
The pair robbed another saloon and gro
Gerry store much as they had done Christen-
sens Eight or ten citizens who came out
to see what was going on were held up on
the streets. By the time the robbers were
ready to leave, there was small posse or
