DON'T WANT WEAVER,

Us. Crawford, of Atlantic, delivered
ringing republican speech to a large
audience at Oakfield Center, Au-
dubon county last night. At the close
Of his address, Prof. Brinkerhoff, who
was last year the democratic candidate
for state representative in Audubon
county, made short speech, in which
he said that ne wanted to say that he
was first of all democrat, and that he
wanted to register his opposition to
the sell out to Weaver by the three
democratic candidates for Judge, that
he would not be party to any such
sale and would not only vote for Hager
and the republican judicial nominees,
but would advise all his democratic
friends to do likewise. His opposition
to Weaver was on account Of his I'M
sound financial ideas and fiat money
schemes. Prof. Brinkerhoff is one of
the leading democrats of Audubon
county, and his opposition to the sell
out to Weaver will cost Weaver many
votes in Audubon county. He also
claimed that the election of Weaver
would disrupt the democratic party in
this dlstrict.-RegiSter Correspondence.

A DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF FUSION.

ELECTION returns from Georgia
show that the democratic majority is
reduced to 10000. The populists unit
ed with the republicans! This ought
to conyince every democrat what his
duty is, who is yet to vote. In Iowa
the populists are trying their best to
defeat our candidates, and yet expect
democrats in some of the congressional
districts to help elect their candidates.
The Georgia election may prove to be
a benefit and it will, if democrats will
take the hint and drop populist candi-
dates everywhere. If there should be
no populist candidate elected in Iowa
that will kill the populist party and
democrats will have clear field next
year. On the other hand, if the popu-
lists succeed through democratic assis-
lance in electing even one candidate,
they will be ten times more annoying
next year. Let the word go forth into
every Iowa democratic household:
Vote against populism and save the
democratic party - OttumaDa Sun,

NINTH DISTRICT NOTES.

Every demolistic popucrat in the
Ninth district can tell you how to vote
to secure good times; but their logic
does not convince people that vote
for Jim Weaver and fiat money and
free trade is going to make them any
richer.-Logon Observer.
General Jim has failed to speak at
several places according to annouce-
ment. The people, however, haye not
been disappointed for he has no good
news to tell them. The general is
looking at the dark side of life this
campaign as he reflects upon his past
political career but his melancholy
days have only commenced. He will
be showed under so badly in Novem-
Der that he will scarcely see daylight
again until doomsday.-Du1alap Re.
porter.
j. b. Weaver claiming that he owes
allegiance to no party, but that he will
be free to act as he pleases when he
gets to congress, is somewhat amusing
to the people who understand the po-
sition he occupies in the district. 1t is
well he says "When get to congress"
for upon that contingency he may
hang any kind of promise; for there
is scarcely possibility much less a
probability of his election to any other
position than to stay at home.-Antta
Republican.
If populist comes to you and wants
to know what Hager did in congress,
ask him what Weaver did and see him
twist. Weaver was in congress six
sessions, Hager has been in the body
but one, yet by his industry ard ability
in attending to public business and
promoting the public good he affected
more for his constituents than Weaver
did in six sessions and won an honor
able reputation in the body, thing
Weaver never .-Guthrian.
All those democrats who believe that
there was no democrat in the Ninth
district good enough to run for con.
gress ought to walk right up and vote
for Weaver. That will encourage the
itinerant system in politics and pro-
mote the profession of carpet bagging.
It's death on democracy, but who cares

cratic ticket in the Ninth district be

CHURCH DEDICATION.

From the Register dispatches of Oct.
IA, we take the following:
Today was the day set apart for the
dedication of the First American
Baptist church at Brayton. About
8 o'clock a. M, the people from the
neighboring towns and from the coun-
try commenced to assemble until the
church was filled to overlooking to take
part in and listen to the exercises of
che day. The meeting was opened by
prayer by Rev. Geo. Hickok, of Bethel
church, Kimballton, Iowa, followed by
reading of the Scripture by Rev. ID. d.
Downs, pastor of the new church. Fol
lowing came the dedicatory sermon,
which was delivered by Rev. Harry
Ferguson, district missionary for the
southwest quarter of Iowa, and which
was one of the most eloquent sermons
ever delivered in Western Iowa, after
which came the raising of funds, con-
Quoted by Rev. Ferguson, to free the
church from Indebtedness. In this as
well as in all other matters pertaining
to his work, he was successful. In just
one hour he succeeded in raising 1919
which was amply enough to cover all
Indebtedness. Then followed prayer
by Rev Ferguson, giving the church to
Almighty God in all his glory. Thus
our little village of $50 inhabitants to-
day are rejoicing over new and I'M
incumbered church which has cost
about $500. We cannot speak too
highly of the Danish people and others
who so generously contributed to the
cause

THANKFUL FOR HIS COUNTRY,

1t seems to me that one of the main
things for which Americans ought to
be thankful is "our country" with it's
glorious heritage of liberty and wealth.
l recall how proud we were of it in
the days of my boyhood. The most
precious of all the treasures of the
world, liberty was ours, and we exulted
in the possession of it. The richest re-
sources of the earth were ours, and we
boosted of the ownership of them. We
chanted the praises of our beautiful
land, and our emotions were stirred as
we beheld the flag of it's majesty fut-
tering in the sunshine.
We boosted of our fertile soil, our
mines of all the useful minerals and
metals, our natural wealth of every
kind, our forests, our prairies, our
water courses, and our vast sweep of
territory between the Atlantic and the
Pacific. We were proud beyond words
of our resplendent country.
W. boooeSu VI Jul COuoUlIuUlOu, VI
our republican government, and of the
franchises which belonged by right to
every citizen. We boosted OF our poll.
tics, and proudly proclaimed that every
American was sovereign.
Where, in all the world, was there
ever match for our country, great
prosperous, brave, and free,-ay free {
Its name,-America! We gazed along
the lines of the ages and saw otr coun.
try growing ever freer and richer and
stronger and happier, ever yet more
and more the wonder of the world
How enchanting vista! That coun.
try is yet here and bears its old name
We had reason, and still have reason
to be thankful for it. If the people OF
today are less exultant over it than we
were In old times, if terrible evils have
taken root in it, if the spirit of the
masses is uneasy, if political decay has
set in, is hordes of working people have
been reduced to poverty and live in
misery, if capitalists and laborers are
at enmity, there can be no better day
than that of Thanksgiving to think OF
the cause of these things. We are YET
thankful for "our country."-From
"What have we to Give Thanks For p

GENERAL WEAVER did not always
think so much of the democratic party
as he does now when he is bidding for
their votes. In debate with NJ. V. B.
Bennett, at Bloomfield, September 26,
1869, he said: "What is the use of fur
Their arraigning the defunct democracy
with all its hoary crimes, at the bar of
public opinion? We know that It's
acts comprise murder, treason, theft,
arson, fraud, perjury-any and all
crimes possible for an organization to
commit or connive at. 1t would be a
mercy to put its record million miles
deep into the pit that is mentioned in
holy writ,-and / may add that If a
large and distinguished assortment of
its alleged statesmen were sent along
it would only be common justice"

IOWA'S REPUBLICAN pLATFoRM--Isol.

The Republican party comes again before the
people OF Iowa with every promise performed
and every prophecy fulfilled.
The history OF the past year has again dem
onstrated the untitneSs and incompetency OF
the Democratic party to administer the affairs
OF the Nation, and has again indicated the
eternal truth OF Republican principles.
From the universal disaster that has accom-
panied Democratic supremacy, we turn with
confident hope to the sacred duty of restoring
peace and prosperity to Il distracted and dis
ordered country.
We again declare for system of protective
duties so adjusted That every American re-
source can be developed by American labor, re-
ceiying American wages; and we insist upon q
tariff that will accomplish these ends.
2. We have but TO mention the disastrous
results which have followed the mere menace
OF free trade as conclusive evidence OF the wis
dom OF the Republican policy in the past upon
this subject.
3. We adhere to the declaration Of the Ma
tional Republican party in 1892 upon its none
tary policy.
4. We re-affirm our belief that ''the interests
OF the country, its farmers and workingmen,
demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued
by tho government, shall be as good as any
other dollar"
s. We favor the largest possible use of silver
as money, that Is consistent with the permanent
maintenance of equal values Of all dollars in cir
culation.
g., We do not want monometallism, either OF
geld or OF silver, and we pledge ourselves to
continue the work for bmetallism, to be brought
about by all fit means within the power Of the
government.
7. The welfare OF the laborer and the main
tenance OF the dignity OF labor have been the
constant care OF the Republican party from its
birth. Its whole history Is an effort to secure
to the wage worker his just share of the fruits
OF toll; and 1t now renews its pledge to defend
the workingmon not only against the assaults
OF foreign competition but against the attacks
OF domestic avarice
8. That the honest and industrious immigrant
who comes to our land with the intent TO be-
come In good faith an American citizen, is oil.
ways welcome. None other should be permitted
to come. We favor the amendment and moro
stringent enforcement Of the immigration laws
so as to exclude criminal, pauper and all other
undesirable classes whose presence tends to de-
grade American labor and incite disorder
8. The Republican party, ever mindful Of the
patriotic services and sacrifices of the veteran
soldiers Of the Republic, re-affirms its position
In favor OF liberality to the Nations defenders
We favor the granting of pensions to all nonor-
ably discharged Union soldiers and sailors
whose disabilities or necessities Justly entitlo
them thereto.
