Feb. 22nd. A large hall has been
engaged, and already the invita-
tions of the club have been accept,
ed by a sufficient number of re-
publicans of National reputation
to make it certain that the cele-
bration will be the brilliant sue
cess it deserves to be.
If the democratic members of
the Senate all follow the example
of the democrats of the Election
committee, it will be left for the
popuiiSts to decide whether Sena-
tor Dupont, of Delaware, shall get
the seat to which he was legally
elected. The Election Committee
has, by the vote of every republi-
can member, reported in favor of
Senator Dupont's right to the seat,
| but if the democrats all vote against
him he will have to get some popu-
list votes to get in. Neither Sena-
tor Dumont nor his friends have
any doubt of his final success.
1t is said by some that the reason
some of the republican senators
oppose making a change in the
Offices of Secretary and Sergeant
at Arms of the Senate is that they
control more patronage under the
present democratic officials than
they could hope to retain under
new ones. An attempt is to be
made the last of this week to set
tile the question at caucus of Re
publican Senat ors.
Senator German virtually ac-
knowledged the hnpeleSsneSs of
the democratic cause when he an
aounced his intention to retire
from the democratic National Com
mttee and all participation in
National poitics, in order to fight
for his own political life at home.
He knows that the republicans of
Maryland will leave no stone un-
turned to have him succeeded by
/ republican, and that he has no
time to devote to National forlorn
hopes.

it winter of hard work. 10 take mp

The Iowa Capital has the following
good words for the congressman from
this district. Representative Hager,
of the Ninth district, made a notable
speech in congress few days ago on
the subject of pensions, reviewing
the many acts of the present admins
tration and showing in what way in
justice has been done to the veterans
of the civil war. While a little too
young to have served in the army, Mr..
Hager has demonstrated his regard
for the soldiers by securing more pen
SONS for his constituents than any
member who has ever represented the
Ninth district. Mr.. Hager possesses
splendid ability and upon the occasion
referred to he was warmly congratu-
lated by his republican associates. His
record in congress is good"

THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT CLUB.

The Allison Mckinley club, of Des

OF Iowa, at the st. Louis convention.
The state OF Iowa has candidate
in the person our honor senator, VIM.
b. Allison. He belongs to Iowa and
should be Iowa's first, last and all the
time choice. That is the way other
states support their candidates, and
that is the only way Iowa will get the
recognition she desires.
We have not heard of any Mckinley
Allison club in Ohio. Ohio does not
do business that way. The Ohio peO-
pie say, Mckinley is our man, we are
for Mckinley" and that is the way
Ohio has secured such honor as she has
had in the past. She has stood by her
man. Iowa should do the same way,
that is, If Iowa really wants Allison to
be president of these United States.
Go to st. Louis for Allison, and none
