barber that the patient applied to be bled
To assist this operation it being necessary for
the patient to grasp staff, stick or pole was
always kept by the barber-surgeon, together
with the fillet or bandaging he used in tying
the patients arm. When the pole was not in
use the tape was tied to it so that they might
both be together when again needed and in
that state the pole and tape were hung at the
door OF the shop as sign. Afterward a pole
painted in imitation or the real pole and band
age was used, and at the top was nailed a

BRYAN AND SEWELL.
NOMINEES OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
Most Remarkable National Convention
Since the Party was Rent Asun-
der on the Slavery Issue
in 1900.

One of the most remarkable national
conventions ever held was that which
struggled at Chicago last week, when
two candidates, one for president and
the other for vice-president, who were
considered out Of the race at the begin
ming, by wonderful strides captured
the votes of the convention and were
both nominated on the fifth ballot.
William J. Bryan, the talented young
orator from Nebraska, who is the demo-
cratic candidate for president, is but
thirty-six years old, younger by ten
years than any man ever nominated
for the chief magistracy of the Ameri-
can republic. At the opening of the
convention his name was scarcely con-
sidered, but Thursday he made a
speech, the elOquence of which reused
the convention to frenzy, and in the
balloting he steadily increased in favor
until on the fifth ballot his nomination
was made unanimous.
The name of Arthur Sewell of Maine,
had hardly been mentioned, and his
nomination was more of a surprise than
that of Bryan. Sewell is ship builder
and his location is probably one of the
chief reasons for his nomination, many
thinking that this would silence the
cry that the silver cause is sectional.
On the first ballot fifteen candidates
were voted for, and Sewell gradually
gained votes until on the fifth ballot
the race was between Sewell and Nc
Lain, the Cincinnati editor, when the
latter Withdrew his name through
personal telegram and the nomination
of Sewell was made unanimous before
the conclusion of the roll call.
Both of the candidates are free silver
men and the fight will doubtless be
made on this issue.

THE CONTEST is OVER.

The congressional fight in this
county is over. The little Napoleon in
Iowa Republican politics, the man
that not only the 4th district but the
whole state of Iowa owes a greater debt
than to any other for its greatest Re
publican victories in redeeming the
state from BOiesism and its evils, has
met temporary defeat, but not banish-
ment or death, for he is Iowa's man
and no ten counties are large enough
to make political burying ground
for him.
We believe in James f. Blythe and
admire the manly way he conducted
his campaign. We admire him for
his ability as an organizer and speaker
We respect his gentlemanly traits that
are ever present with him. However
the people of Winneshiek have in con-
ventiOn, spoken for Mr.. Updegraff.
We hope that cordial relations will ex-
ist between the friends of Mr.. Blythe
and Mr.. Updegraff. If there has been
troubled waters which have bubbled,
surged, and even seethed with heat
in the Republican lake let oil be poured
upon them, that quietness may reign
in place of discord.
We have common enemy to fight
and our expected victory is or ought to
be matter of common concern to all
Republicans. At this time any hesi-
fancy, any exhibition of soreness, any
laxity of allegiance to the party can
but be deplored and should be met by
all true Republicans with vigorous pro-
tests. Our plain duty is to work earn
estly in good faith for Republican sue
cess Recognizing our rObligatiOns to the
party, the performance of our duty and
the fulfilling of our obligations we hope
| will not be made difficult by disregard,
on the part of our friends, of the re-
sponsibility growing out of their al
legiance to their party principles.
True loyalty Is expected; any other
course ought not to be thought of, as it
might produce wanton peril. 1t is to
be earnestly hoped in every township
and on every hand, that the devasta-
tion of internal conflict may speedily
be stayed and order and quiet restored;
that our guns shotted to the muzzle
with Republican ammunition may be
turned against our enemies until victory
perches upon our banner and McKin-
ley and Hobart, are safely elected.

Hon. JAMES f. BLYTHE spent sever
al days in this county. He saw large

fair minded man who talked with him
can but admire the clean methods he
employed. In conversation with his
assistants his advice i'm every instance
was. "Boys, do nothing wrong or un-
clean, for had rather lose the fight
than to resort to dirty methods.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CON.
VENTION.

A delegate convention of the Republicans of
the Fourth Congressional District, of the state
of Iowa, will be held at Charles City, Iowa. on
the purpose of nominating a candidate for
Representative in Congress for said district,

delegate to each county, and one additional
delegate TO each 100 votes or fractions over 80,
cast for Hon. +. M. Drake for Governor in 1895.
The representation to which each county Is
entitled lis as follows to wit.
