A Political Huckster.

Next Monday the refined palate of
Cresco republicans is to be tickled by
one who has always in his county
stood in with a corrupt ring which
never had friend hut it would sell
for the spoils of Office. The members
of this rotten ring were Gus Upper,
w. l.. Eaton, j. l.. Whitley, N. G..
Deering, DIR. S. b. Chase and j. L..
Chase. They were the silk-stocking
gentry of their county and were CO.
conspirators against the common
people at all times. If the democrats
had any offices to bestow one of
these stood with mouth wide open
like young robin for the plum to
drop. If the republicans had any
offices to give out the ring always
had the man for the place and Eaton
and the combined ring was for him.
If Willard l.. Eaton is of as little use
to the republicans as he has been to
the democrats they'd better swap him
at the first opportunity for yaller
dog, because he'll want something
nice in the future for exhibiting him
self to their bewildered gaze. The
following from the Rockford Gazette
is so good and true that we give it a
place:
THE DANGER AvERTED.
The rain last Friday night kept a
number of our citizens from attend
ing the political meeting advertised
for that date. Will Eaton of Usage,
made the principle talk, the other
speaker being James Blythe of Mason
City. Eaton claims to be able to
trace his democratic genealogy back
into the Jetfersonian era by easy
stages, aud poses as fac smile of
the original with name blown in the
bottle, none other genuine. Accord
ing to Eaton, he and few kindred
spirits who have bolted the ticket,
are all that are left of the old stock,
all others simply owe their existence
to evolution. This guileless descend
ant of an immaculate political con-
ception has discovered something.
He said "the Chicago convention was
Heterogeneous mob of buns and
thugs who gathered together in the
wicked city of Chicago and actually
throttled the Democratic party, it is
for anarchy, protection and revolu-
tion and Bryan is hired tool"
These are some of the arguments
made by this hysterical and dyspep-
tic bolter, and he now proposes to
roam about upon the face of the
earth in this uncomfortable frame of
mind, breathing malediction and dire
disaster upon helpless nation. This
is an important epoch in the history
of the campaign for had he remained
silent the country might nave blund-
cred along and never would have
known good from evil. When the
war clouds hung over this land and a
Lincoln and a Grant were raised up
to lead the nation into victory. Now,
that out of the wicked city there has
come upon the people band of an
archists with evil intent, and just as
many women had tainted and strong
men grew weak in their knees, we
find that danger is to be avert ed and
the country saved by the excruciat-
ing self inflicted mental torture of
Mr.. Eaton of Usage.

THE FORECAST.

Time In the senate VIII Be Consumed by
the Monroe Doctrine and Finance.
Washington, Jan. l9.-The present In
dications are that the time of the SEN
ate will be divided this week between
the discussion Of finance and the Mon
roe doctrine. the latter being based up
on the Davis resolution and the former
on the free coinage substitute for the
house bond bill. Several senators, in
Guiding Teller. Daniels. Cockrell and
White. will speak on the silver bill
during the week. and the probabilities
are that the consideration OF the bill
will not be concluded when the end OF
the week is reached. No vote will be
secured until the Utah senators take
their seats. but IL will come soon after
that time. The silver substitute Is the
unfin I'D business. which fact gives
Il precedence over all other matters
each day after o'clock. thus rendering
II impossible TO take up the Monroe
resolution except during the morning
hour. unless by general consent.
Senator Pugh has given notice that
he will. on Monday, try to secure a
vote on his resolution for the payment
OF government obligations in coin in
stead of gold alone. but his success in
that direction is doubtful. The tariff
bill will be reported during the week II
