THE CANDIDATE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Usage Ne,os says Mr.. Blythe sis
the choice of three-fourths of the rank
and file of the Republicans of the dis
trict-the farmers and those who are
not in politics for mere gain"
This is equally true of Winnesheik
county, except that machine politicians
and their chief fugel men in both the
Republican and Democratic parties are
actively at work for Updegraff7s nomi-
nation. Why the democrats are so
eager for him the future alone must de-
termine. The democrats certainly have
an object in such zeal, for they claim
they have always opposed Tom Upde-
graft at elections and will not agree to
support him at the polls if he should
be the candidate of his party. We
will add furthermore that the people
are disgusted with the politicians and
in our humble opinion some of them
are liable to be sat down upon pretty
thoroughly before the campaign is over,
and not in congressional matters alone.
Many Republicans in the county, dis
trict and state dislike misrepresenta-
tions and feel it is high time to break
away from "bOssism" and "ring rulen
so long indulged in by certain unscru-
pulous politicians whose chief stock in
trade is calumny, smooth lies, insin-
cerity and double dealing; whose sole
aim is to control the patronage, seize
the post offices or other plums for them
selves or friends, without the courage
to appeal to the people for their suffrage.
They employ any subterfuge to further
their own base purposes. No wonder
there is an unrest among the people.
AS Abraham Lincoln said: "You may
be able to fool part of the people part of
the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time," and we believe
the time has come when the people
will be heard and will not be controlled
by few old party leaders. The time
has passed when any one or two men
can promise the Winnesheik county
delegation to candidate and deliver
the goods.

A Noble Gift.

The rumors which have been pre-
valent for some time, that bequest
had been made to Mrs. Phoebe Lincoln,
of this city, have been kept from a
general knowledge of the public until
very recently. But such bequest has
been made. A man who has wealth
of half a million dollars, has placed ten
thousand dollars on deposit, subject to
her order, for the founding of an insti-
tuition of learning. Several years ago
Mrs. Lincoln had boy under her tu-
torship who had been criminal, and
would not live at his home, but through
Mrs. Lincoln's efforts he became recon-
ciled and returned to his parents, and
shortly after a letter from the boys
father reached Mrs. Lincoln, stating
that the bequest above named had been
placed to her order, for the founding of
school of her own, where she might
spend her life in the uplifting and en-
nobling of other fallen creatures. The
only conditions of the donation is the
affirmation of three business men that
she intends to use this money for the
purpose stipulated, when the sum
will at once be given her. The offer
holds until Sept. lst, 1898, and doubt
less Mrs. Lincoln will by that time be
the proprietor administration, founded
for this noble work, although no decis-
ion as to location has as yet been made.
Surely this is a fitting return for the
gratitude Of the parents of this way
ward boy, who, through the influence of
Mrs. Lincoln, was reclaimed, and we
know of no person who is more deserv-
ing of such gift, or who would make
better use of it.

FROM AN OLD SOLDIER.

EDITOR PUBLIC OPINION:
Please allow me space to say few
words as an old soldier and Republi-
can in answer to the wall of Cyrus
Mckay in the Republican of May 7th
in which he devotes nearly column
trying to lead the old soldiers into the
Updegraff camp, principally on the
grounds of self interest. He pretends
he is not a politician which is readily
granted, and insinuates very strongly
that the pension department has been
subject to the beck and nod of the Clay
ton County statesman in "scores of
cases."
The old soldiers have been led to
believe by those high in authority that
pension claims would not be taken up
out OF their regular order. When they
are reached and passed upon the Rep
resentative of the district is notified; he
then writes or sometimes telegraphs
the result to the pensioner. will say
right here that have not met or
known of an old soldier whose requests
were not attended to by Hon. Walt. HI.
Butler equally as well as they were
by Mr.. Updegraff, and yet did,Cyrus
Mckay write q column in his bel
while he was candidate for re. On
although Cyrus was feet3ng at ths,
Democratic crib? Did Cyrus write of
the scores of pension rs whose claims
were attended to by Hon. Walt. HI.
Butler? No he did not; but now seeks
virtually to tell the old soldier Repub-
licans that there is really but one man
they can trust-soldiers who barred
their breasts to the foe, stood up to the
line face to face with the enemy, and
did not even falter when the conflict
was hand to hand; who fought the
battles of their country and God; who
have since voted the Republican ticket
believing they were right, believing
the party was right in it principles and
in its measures. for one believe that
the Republican party as party is in

old soldier, (althOugh some of, the poll
ticians are lukewarm and the country
press quiet.) The great mass of the
Republican party-the people, are
with the old soldier in their sympathy
and now to insinuate that if the Hon.
Jas. E. Blythe or any other good Re
publican should be nominated and
elected could not properly serve the
old soldier is preposterous. No, Cyrus,
it won't go. The old soldier is no
chicken; you can not catch him with
chaff. He has generally speaking, seen
a thing or two and can not be taken in
in any such a manner. Let Cyrus Nc
Kay write the old soldiers about his
appointment as Pension Claim At
torney-his connections with govern
ment seleuth Perham, his visits, etc.,
etc., if he desires to give the old soldiers
information; besides it would be sala-
cious reading for the public.

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

We have been asked the question:
care they going to send boy TO con-
gress?" Yes, they are going to send a
boy to congress, that same boy that
they sent after the old democrotic
governor of Iowa, the same boy we
sent after five of the six old democratic
congrssmen in this state a few years
ago, and he got them. He is not so
young now as he wigs then, but just as
true, faithful and clean. The party
will make no mistake i'm sending Hon.
James f. Blythe to congress.

WALTER WELLMAN, Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times

New York's republican leadership
down to the level of mediocrity. There
is not now in congress from the grea:
state of New York simple republican
OF national prominence. The little
delegation from Iowa, where indivi
dual merit has every chance to make
of itself all it can, is infinitely the
superior of the great delegation from
the empire state in ability and in
fiuence," and Mr.. Wellman is i'm Q
position to know whereof he affirms.

The constitution of Utah contains
sew eral important new features. For
instance, it provides that juries shall
consist of eight instead of twelve men,
and that in civil cases -fourths of
the number may render verdict.
Another provision is to the effect that
the state shall never go into debt ex-
ceeding 100000, except in case of in
surrection; and another guarantees to
every citizen the right to obtain em-
ployment wherever possible and makes
interference with this right a crime.

suffrage is given to women on equal
