The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1892-11-24

Mary Lease, senator from Kansas
why not? She is ahead of a dozen be
) whiskered Peffers.
Why not send John Seerley down
: to Chilli. He sneered at Pat Egan; lei
: him go and do better.
Farm property is good goods and
more than yard wide in Iowa. II
=. wont shrink any until free trade days
cOme-then look QUIT
Think of free trade bringing in sc
cents bushel more for wheat! Is moi
J that glOriOus-away up-fying up high
in G.? Fetch it along, Governor!
What's the matter with sending Col
Henry Chawder Shaver down into the
land of pulque and mescal-say as con
sui to TampicO? The meeting says aye
its "agO."
In the jeff Davis province of Mis-
sissippi the third party was knocked
away over Center fields into the Yazoo
Swamps, and there lost. Anything OPP
posed to red shirted Democracy goes
the same way.
We've got Joel Stewart ehalked for
an Indian Agency, where there is lots
to do in the way of contracts. Bob
Haines can go along as reformer to
work on the original material right on
hand.
There is a chance of sending Henry
WattersOn over to England as the
Eagles representative in that nest. Be
ing a newspaper man Henry will do.
Like as not some mugwump will crowd
the keeper of the star eyed out.
The democratic Sigourney Review
says of the much abused populists: "If
they could only save the country by
yawping about the corrupt old parties
and depOsiting their ballots in way to
keep in power the party of whose legis-
latiOn they so bitterly complain, saliva
tion would be cheaper than at popular
revival"
How do you like this sort of thing
and we take the item from the news
columns of the Chicago News:
| SOLDIERS GRAVES DESIGNATED.
| MARTINSvILLE, IND, Nov. 1.-THE
graves of nine veterans were desecrated
last night at the Wilbur cemetery by
vandals, who painted the stones red.
Such yandalS should get to another
place where there is an eternal redness.
-Ottumwa Courier: Reciprocity
must go; the democrats said it was a
humbug. The tin plate mill must go,
for the tariff is tax. The sugar bounty
must go, for it is class legislation. The
state bank tax must go, for the demo-
cratic platform hath so declared. The
tariff must be abolished, for it is un-
constitutional. Let's have an extra ses-
sion of congress and get rid of all of
these denominations"
1t is attributed to James G. Blaine
that he has said that having lost the
presidency, the loss of the senate as well
as the house is not an added misfortune
to the party. 1t now becomes absolute
ly necessary for the Democrats to adopt
in the next two years definite policy.
There can be no evasion, no subterfuge,
no division of responsibility, as there
was from 1885 to 1889. They have won
the election on the cry that the rich are
daily growing richer and the.poOr poor
er. They have asked every: man if he
thinks he has his full share of the
worlds riches, and have hidden him to
vote the Democratic ticket and thus Sc
cure an equal division of profits"
One of the greatest, biggest, brain
lest Democrats in IOwa-sGhOlar, stu
dent, philosopher-brains, bones and
muscle-great big man from head by
way of heart to foOt-whoI would do
honor to any high diplomatic station
and where, for interest of country and
all concerned, he should be sent, is d.
n. Richardson, of the Davenport Dem
Ocrat. He is big man intellectually,
and an American who is proud of his
land-FermOnt and all. Grover can't
lind anything better in Iowa, for such
hOnOred and distinguished service.
Brains, character, capacity, fitness his
hide is chuck full of 'em. Take him,
Grover, and let the rest of them be cared
/ for elsewhere. > "a
Fort Dodge Messenger. much of
the credit for the way Iowa held her
ground in the republican line amid gen
eral defeat is due to the great campaigns
made by the several republican candi-
dates for congress. Gear, Hepburn,
Hager, Hull, Lacey, Cousins, Hender-
son, Updegraff, Dolliver and Perkins
were host. They put allopposition to
rout. They satisfied the people thatthe
republican party was right, and the peO-
pie gave their verdict accordingly"
Right you are, brother of the OF
tumwa Courier, when you say: 1.-THE
vote on Grover Cleveland shows that
the people want the state bank issue
tax abolished. State banks everywhere
should see to it that the tax is repealed
by the Democratic congress. The peo-
pie want that kind of money. They
should have it. Besides In Iowa a state
bank with S25, 600 in specie could issue
$4,000 in currency. Let us have what
the people have voted for" i
--President--elect Cleveland, in a
speech at New York on Tuesday even
ing said: "If we see nothing in our vic
tory but license to reyel in partisan
spoiis we shall fail at every point. If
we merely profess to enter upon our
work, and If we make an apparent ef-
fort to do it under cover of seeking
partisan advantage, we shall invite con.
tempt and disgrace. If we attempt to
discharge our duty to the,people with
out complete party harmony in patriot
ic action, we shall demonstrate our in
competency" He had faith, however,
in the patriotism of the democratic
party, and believed 1t would answer
the expectations of the people.
Coy. Kirkwood says oftwo men: II
have looked upon Col. Henderson es-
pecially, as well as Maj. Lacey as men
with more than ordinary ability; men,
either one of whom would adorn the
United States senate of any state in the
union. The record of Col Henderson
and Mai. Lacey as soldiers in the war
was grand, high, patriotic and spotless.
Sincerely. am at loss to understand
why any citizen who has the good of
his country at heart, and ct the same
time considering the services that these
men have rendered to their country and
our state, when our fiag was fired upon,
could In the name Of high heaven and
all that Is holy cast their ballot for any
other candidate in their district than
