 The Greys' ball last Friday evening al Montgomery was gorgeous social success. It was the twenty first nnual ball and was worthy in every way of the splendid Greys. A large crowd was present throughout the evening. Tue toilettes of the ladies were remarkably handsome and no gentlemen appeared on the floor unless in military uniform or full evening dress. Mrs. w. c. Oates and Captain Stout led the grand march. There were beautiful women from all over the state present at the ball, and men distinguished in business and the professions added dignity to the festivities. The entertainment of last Friday evening equaled in every way the previous balls of the Montgomery Greys.

which has created feeling of un-
easiness and distrust which prevades
the entire mass Of democratic voters.
They realize the periIs that threaten
the interests of our nation and are
asking, what shall we do to be saved
from the impending evil. Let every
republican do his duty as an American
citizen and from the hills and valleys
of Audubon county will come the
answer. The party who OIL its acces-

the verge OF dissolution, and during
its administration Of a quarter of a

1t is the duty of every republican in
Audubon county to devote next Tues
day to the welfare of his party and
country by casting his vote before
twelve o'clock. Not only should he be
at the polls and vote early, but he
should assist in polling this year the
largest republican maj ority ever rolled
up in the county. Democratic admin
istration of the national government
has produced its legitimate result, and
in this county today hundreds of dem
ocrats are hesitating between adher-
ence to the traditions of their past and
allegiance to the principles of republi-
canism. A few words comparing the
principles and acts of the two parties
will result in many casting for the first
time vote for the republican party
and for the principles of true Ameri-
canism. There is now no occasion for
excitement or appeal to prejudice.
The democratic party, by its acts, has
given the American people an object

affairs, and is well known TO the PEG.
pie of the county as an active and
honorable worker for the,party whose
principles he espouses. Descended from
a line of American ancestry, veteran
of the Union army, he is intensly
American in sentiment aud principles.
Believing that the interests of the
people of this nation demand the
largest possible use Of all our products,
he will be ever ready to advocate and
encourage the development of all our
resources regardless of the wishes of

Iowa Mr.. Edwards will support all

Congressman Perkins was invited to
take charge of the editorial page of
the Ottumwa Courier for the Monday
issue. Mr.. Perkins used, among
several columns of equally good mat
ter, the following:
This we know: That our democratic
friends are insistent upon state cam
paign. That is to say, they want to
thrash over the old straw of prohibi-
ton, and they want Gen. Drake and
others to answer any number of ques-
tions, yea and nay, as they invent them.
You see, they want to remain in their
old place as directors, and they appear
to have no liking for the position of
responsibility, which they so long in
vited at the hands of the people, and
which was accorded to them, singular
ly enough, in 1892. Now, does anyone
suppose that if the record of the
national democratic party met the
hearty approval of the democratic
party. of this state that there would be
such demand for state issues? Ger
trinity not. Our democratic friends us
a matter of fact make confession of
the weakness of their cause, and they
seek to distract public attention from
this weakness by raising false issues in
this campaign.
The republicans of Iowa are not
afraid to meet any state issue our dem
ocratic friends can raise, and mind you,
all the growth, prosperity and develop
ment Of Iowa has been under republi-
can rule. Moreover the republicans of
Iowa are not afraid to meet any
national issue that our democratic
friends can raise, be it the issue of
thirty-fve years ago or an issue of
today, 1t is we'll to think about this
little. 1t will be the part of wisdom
among men of whatever political rela-
tionship not to be diverted from the
fundamental and underlying issue by
mere noise, bunglingly improvised for
the occasion.
| But it is not so with our democratic
friends. Their energy is absorbed in
their zeal to get away from the record
the democratic party has made in it's
brief and disastrous period of respon-
sibility. Not a single chapter has been
written by its independent hand credi-
table to the country or in testimony
of the capacity and patriotism of the
democratic party, not one. The record
is made up of jargon. The party has
been involved in a war of factions
from the day of Inauguration until
now. 1t has exhibited itself as a party
without cohesion, except in opposition
Ia party without bond of national
unity and purpose.
Naturally enough confusion has fol-
lowed everywhere in its wake. Conf
dence has been broken down, as it
must always be under a leadership
that is made the excuse for mutiny.
There have been no lines upon which
the course of legislation could be fore
told. The black stamp of mistrust
has been imprinted everywhere. The
treasury of the United States has been
in constant peril, and this peril has ex-
tended to every business interest of
the country. Such time of living on
accumulated fat, and getting down to
the bone, has not been experienced
hitherto in the history of the United
| States.

When little Billy arrived at the camp of
instruction. the first person on whom his
eye fell was Private Chadwick. Simutane-
ously the eye of Private Chadwick fell on
little Billy. Mr.. Chadwick was something

And So for time at least, little Billy
was installed in Private Chadwicks tent,

the peculiarities of the man. Thu camp was
in charge OF Capt. Mosely, who was recov-

his old comrade, Private Chadwick, as his

to be to those who didn't know the man,
but the truth was that Private Chadwick
knew as much about tactics as any West
Pointer and had the knack. too, Of impart-

belt strap to emphasize his remarks
The uDShOt of the matter was that 1ittIa
Billy went to Private Chadwick's tent and
remained there. He and the private became
inseparable companions when neither was
on duty, and in these hours of leisure little
Billy learned as much about tactics as he
did from the actual practice of drilling. He
seemed to take to the business naturally,
and far outstripped the men who had been
