| The Riceville Recorder having pre-
scnted many of the bad things said by
Blaine, is displeased with the PLAIN
DEALER for having given a few of the

out side the county two weeks ago.
But few have responded to the call.

EDITOR PLAIN .DEALER:-
In your Issue Of October 80, 1896,
you have made a mistake in quoting
what l said in my talk at Howard
Center, about coercion. did not saw
that one of the bankers of Cresco had
made threats. l do not think the
other banks did any thing of the kind.
l said '.that one of the most active
Republican politicians in the county
