Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1896-10-13

Wesley Swenson, Lowry's efficien
Jeweler, has arranged a fine displa,
of jewelry, and silverware in an artis
tic manner, such as Wesley only cal
do. 1t will repay you to take pee
at it,
&. X. Ferris of South Dakota is in
town talking among his old republi
can soldier friends in favor of Bryan
and free silver, 40 cent wheat lots O
tariff and no money did the business
for him and is doing it for thousands
Elisha Epps has opened out the
most elegantly equipped barber shol
in Cresco in the basement under
Lowry's drug store. This will be the
favorite shop of the City as it i.
centrally located, brilliantly lighted
and has the modern and best equip.
ments made.
The grand and convincing argument
OF bass drum and torch light pro.
cession came Off in behalf
OF the gold standard Monday evening.
1t is estimated that 1000 people took
part. There were few from the coun.
try. The farmers can't enthuse on
gold prices for farm products.
The democrats at Cresco Tuesday
nominated Scott Jewett for clerk of
the courts. That he is we'll qualified
none doubt and his personal popular
ity will gain him strength that makes
his election very probably will gain
him strength that makes his election
very probable if not certain. He is a
strong candidate Riceville Recorder.

Robt. Phe.an, the enterprising news

supporting to be those of VIM. j..
Bryan and wife, to Mrs. Bryan and
in reply received four photographs OF

We are told that Willard L. Eaton
roasted the PLAIN DEALER office at his
Court House speech Monday after
noon, and took his text from it in the
evening, the result of which many
left the hall. That is better than
words of commentator would have
been from him. A man who wonld
betray his father, Gen. Eaton, when
an applicant for the Usage postof1ice,
as Will Eaton did, at the command of
a rotten political couclave to Which he
owed allegiance could discount Judas
lscariot in that line. We have the
evidence in a letter under his own
hand that he is untruthful.
The speech by Mr.. Blaine from
which we quote in the PLAIN DEALER
to-day, may be seen in this office in a
bound volume of the Congressional
Record of February s, 1878, Vol. 7,
part 33, pages 12, 1s, IA and 10. In
that speech he declared the people
"do not want single gold standard
that will exclude silver and benefit
those already rich, they wanted both
metals, in full value, in equal honor,
in whatever abundance the bountiful
earth will yield them to the searching
eye of science and to the hard hand
of labor
Republicans and all are invited to
come in and read his speech in full
as delivered in congress, instead of
accepting a campaign edition which
leaves out its main parts and gives
prominence to immaterial points.
In the presence of three gentlemen
whose veracity is undoubted, and
one of whom gave out the information,
Mark Hanna recently made this state
ment in the Lexington hotel, Chicago:
'.McKinley7s chances are exceed
ingly doubtful. It is no use denying
that we have lost the labor vote.
Debs and his following have led the
labor vote to Bryan, while the farm
ers are all crazy on free silver. l am
afraid Mckinley will not VIM
