other band, and the streets were
thronged with town and country peo-
pie to witness the parade. Marching
bodies from each place joined the pro-
cession with torches and transparencies
and a parade larger than was ever
before seen in this city marched
through the streets for an hour prior
to the speaking. The Grand opera
house was packed to the doors, hun
dreds of ladies being present, many of
whom occupied boxes. The house was
profusely decorated with the national
colors, and the stage was banked with
flowers. Hon. r. J. Montague had
charge Of the meeting, and introduced
Hon. Halvor Stevenson, who for an
hour talked to his townsmen as neigh
bors in an address which was full Of
sound money truths, and which was
applauded freely. He paid a glowing
tribute to Congressman Eddy, and his
services in congress during the past
two years Mr.. Eddy was laboring
under a severe cold contracted during
a recent night drive. His voice has
been tried to the limit by his seventy
five meetings during the past six
weeks, and he is not only exceedingly
hoarse, but was warned by his physi-
clan not to speak again for three days.
Notwithstanding this, Congressman
Eddy spoke for twenty minutes upon
national and state issues. He touched
upon Seventh district matters in a
practical manner and in a dignified
manner, showing that there were many
reasons why the best interest of the
whole people would be subserved by
his reelection. Col. Ayme, consul to
Mexico closed the meeting with an in
teresting comparison of conditions as
they exist in this country as compared
to that. Visiting delegations got away
from the city at midnight. The en-
thusiasm which this meeting devel-
oped will be felt in the remotest part
of this county, and in the time be-
tween now and election there will be
seen as the result a great change in
the congressional sentiment in Polk
county.

Fourth ward Republican meeting was
held last night. This is in the Polish
settlement of the city. Hon. Casinir
Cfchlinski, of Chicago, made the stirring
address Of the evening and the meeting
from beginning to end was filled with
enthusiasm. The hall was packed. The
Fourth ward at previous elections, has
been a Democratic stronghold, but
seems now to be almost entirely Repub-

Fourth Ward Democratic club reorga-
nized into Republican club, now over
a hundred strong.
