UNFAIRNESS.
A Campaign of Misrepresentation and
DetractiOn.

The Waukon Standard has broken
out upon Mr.. Blythe with an uncalled
for bitterness, and is indulging in mis-
statements for the purpose of breaking
down Mr.. Blythe's strength in ALA
makee county. Among other things
the Standard is trying to lead the
people to believe that Mr.. Blythe is un-
sound on the money question, or is for
free coinage of silver. Mr.. May knows
this is not true. Mr.. Blythe has made
many speeches throughout the state
and is well known to be firm advo-
cate of sound money, and to stand
squarely upon the republican platform
upon the finances, being unequivocally
opposed to any form of reputation.
While not so extreme as Mr.. Upde-
graft, whose votes show him to be for
the single gold standard, Mr.. Blythe
is right in line with Mr.. Allison, Mr..
Gear and the state of Iowa on the
finances, and the Standard ought in
common fairness to correct the state
ment made to the contrary.

The Lansing Caucus.

The Republican calls attention to the
caucus held at Lansing on the evening
of the 18th of this month and claims it
as an Updegraff victory. In Allama-
kee county 1t is not so considered. The
fact that the caucus was called by the
Updegraff men in one of their strong
holds on one days notice and thirty
days before the convention indicates
that the Updegraff forces are panicy,
and are forced to desperate politics.
Heretofore the claim has been loudly
asserted that the politicians are for
Blythe and the people for Honest
Tom." Such bold and treacherous
trickery as the one day call of the
Lansing caucus, cannot be other than
offensive to the general rule of fair
men, which is Characteristic of decent
politics. Mr.. Blythe is making clean,
honest and decent canvas, and will
win. Mr.. Updegraff cannot afford to
be nominated by the Lansing method
and the district cannot afford to ratify
such snap caucuses as the one boasted
about in the Republican.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-06-23

men or class of men, the active or in
active man? Mr.. Blythe has always
been a republican and never voted
against republican soldier nor can
vassed against one. Can Mr.. Upde-
graft say as much?
There has been much silly talk in re-
gard to the inefficiency of a new man,
which is mere clap-trap when applied
to Mr.. Blythe. We think and believe
we can produce positive evidence in
proof of the assertion, viz: Mr.. Blythe
is now i'm much closer touch with the
great men of the nation than Mr.. Up
degraff. He is in close touch with the
congressman of Iowa, who were lauded
by Chicago papers as among the strong
men of the nations representatives,
wien Cousins made his great speech
that caused all admirers of oratory to
gaze with respect upon Iowa's grand
men, as they saw one of the youngest
place himself in the high position other
Iowa representatives had previously
reached, but unfortunately for us they
overlooked the head of the representa-
tive from the 4th district and among
the noted the name of Mr.. Updegraff
did not appear.
The district now has an opportunity
to make change and be represented
in the next congress by man who is
the peer Of Iowa's brightest congress-
men, and obtain that active and ener-
getic service both in the campaigns and
in the halls of congress, which she has
clearly lacked during the incumbency
of Mr.. Updegraff.

The public cannot help noticing that
MIR. Blythe is conducting clear, fair
and honest campaign, and that ON the
other hand many of the papers favor
ing Mr.. Updegraff are indulging in
abuse and Misrepresentation. Mr..
Updegraff owes it to himself and
the district to signify his disapproval
OF such methods. He ought to be un-
willing to win by such misrepresenta-
ton as the Waukon Standard is MAX
ing of Blythe on the finances, or by
such snap caucuses as the one at Lans-
ing.

COL. A. G. STEWART FOR ELECT0R.

The name of Col. A. G. Stewart, of
WaukOn, has been announced as can
didate for elector from the Fourth
District, and we are pleased to indorse
his candidacy. Col. Stewart is a young,
energetic man, hard worker, and one
whose past record and work for the
party is deserving of recognition. He
Is always on the alert to advance the
interests of his party, and we believe
his election would give us an elector of
whom the district might justly feel
proud, and one who would serve his
constituents in a manner compliment
ary to himself and the district. We
also believe that this announcement
will receive the hearty support of the
press and the people of the Fourth
District.

DEBORAH HIGH SCHOOL.

The Grand was well filled Friday
afternoon with friends and relatives of
the graduates of Decorah High School,
who had come to witness the Class
Day Exercises of the "Class of '96."
The program was well rendered, and
did justice to the graduates, showing
that the unfaltering efforts of the in
structors of our city schools had been
well rewarded, The exercises con-
sisted of different numbers by members
of the class, with good musical Sc
lections by the High School Glee Club
and orchestra. In the evening the
graduating exercises were held. After
musical numbers by the Glee Club and
Orchestra and prayer by Rev. Hill
lard, the address of the evening was
given by ID. l.. Kiehle, Phi. D., of the
State University of Minnesota. The
address was a scholarly one in every
respect. He had chosen for his subject
Education in its Relation to Modern
Civilization" and entered into philo-
sOphical discussion of the causes of the
high type of civilization of the nine
teenth century, closing with his view
of what is necessary to continue
and increase this standard, i. e., the
better education of the masses. He
held the close attention of the entire
audience, who were highly pleased
with the address. Then Superintend-
ent Parks in few terse and fitting re-
marks presented the graduates with
the diplomas, and the exercises closed
with "Good Night" by the Glee Club.
The graduates were
Herbert Goddard.
Carl Wellemeyer.
Sadie l.. Montgomery.

tute occur this week Thursday and

A GORGEOUS SPECTACLE.
Ringing Bros Festival of Olympus,
a Revelation of Classic SplendOr.

There is something in human nature
which demands light and color. 1t is
through the eye that the brain receives
that satisfies the vision elevates the
Caesar, Alexander the Great and the
other great rulers and captains of
ancient times. 1t was at the time
when Greece was at the pinnacle of
her power and Rome was approaching
the climax of her imperial sway, that
the great spectacles and feasts of the
ancients were brought to their greatest
perfection. While always partaking in
large measure of the military char
acter Of the people, the glare and
panoply of war was intermingled with
the sumptuous arts of peace, the senti-
ment of classically poetic age, the
love of luxury, and the semi-barbaric
delight of the populace for glittering
display. Perhaps the greatest of all
these spectacles was the Grecian Festi-
val of Olympus. This superb display
of Hellenic culture and semi-O Oriental
luXuriOusness attracted thousands of
spectators, and invited the daring,
skill and emulation of the greatest
athletes and most renowned devotees
of the Olympian games. The treasure
expended in these displays often
reached fabulous sums, and the re-
sources of the entire known world were
utilized to give Gr3cO-O Oriental gla-
mOur to the spectacle. 1t is this gor-
geous festival that Ringing Brothers,
the famous proprietOrs of the Worlds
Greatest Shows, have reproduced as a
spectacular Introductory to their wOn-
derful arenic exhibition. This superb
spectacle enlists the services of thou
sand men, women and children, and
is given upon scale of grandeur and
completeness that even classic Athens
could not excel. The immense hippo
drOme course, the largest ever con-
structed under canvas, is completely
filled with glowing, irridescent, NOV
ing panorama in which hundreds of
gOrgeOusly caparisOned, prancing
horses, scores of resplendently Orna-
mented tableaux, great triumphal cars,
rumbling chariOts, waving banners,
solid phalanxes of glitteringly-armored
warriors, lictOrs, centurians, senators,
fair women, dancing maids, and flower
strewing children, combine to form a
picture of classic splendor dazzling to
the eyes and beautiful beyond the
dreams of the most prolific Imagination.
Notwithstanding the stupendous cost
of this brilliantly costumed spectacle,
it is only an incident of the show-an
introduction to the wonderful feast of
arenic novelties presented in three
rings, upon two stages, in the immense
dome and upon the quarter-mile hippo
drome track of this greatest of all great
shows. Three hundred performers, in
Guiding the marvellous Nelson Family
of Incompatible acrobats; an unap-
proachable menagerie; the greatest of
trained animal sensations, and the
most superb daily free street parade
ever given on earth, are some of the
features of this superb exhibition,
which will exhibit in this city, We'd

FUSION COMPLETE IN KANSAS.
Butler Changing his Views in Regard
to Electoral Fusion.

Washington, Sept. 10.-(SpeciaD-
Hon. w. A. Harris, a prominent Popu-
list of Kansas who served in the Fifty
third Congress is in the city. He says
Kansas is safe. He is quoted as say
ing:
There is perfect cooperation be-
tween the Populists and Democrats
and fusion all along the line. Bryan
and Sewall will carry the State by at
least 10000 majority. / wouldn't be
surprised at 10000. We will have the
aid of 10000 silver Republicans. In
my little neighborhood, out of at least
eighty Republican voters, only six are
open advocates of their party ticket,
and thirty are members of the local
silver club. The remainder are not
saying much, but most of them are
known to .lbe in sympathy with the
Chicago platform and nominees. In
Topeka there is a silver club Of 500
young men. These instances are typi-
cal of the State as a whole. The Re-
publicans sent Senator Thurston out
among us to make converts, and the
result of his speeches was to increase
the number of Bryan men. Gen. Gros-
yenor. of Ohio, came to aid in the mis-
sionary work, and the result was more
believers in free coinage. If these gen.
tlemen will only repeat their visits the
friends Of Bryan will be under many
obligations"
what of Watson's candidacy"
cit is i'll advised, and in the ST.
Louis convention the entire Kansas
delegation was against it. The bulk
of the Populists are sincere men and
they are not going to waste their votes
or jeopardize the election of a Presi-
dent who represents them thoroughly
on the money question The middle
of-the-road men who forced Watson's
nomination cannot control the Popu-
list vote-they are in the same cate
CORY as the fellows who went through

the recent farce at indianapolis, an
army composed entirely of generals"
n
Today's Star says:
Senator Butler does not talk as con-
fidently of fusion in North Carolina as
he did when he first opened headquar-
ters here. He said then that fusion
would be arranged, and that all of the
electors would be for Bryan and Wat
son. It is believed that the Senator
would consent to a fusion on slightly
different terms now. He would be
willing for the Democrats to vote for
Sewall and let the Populists do as they
please. This may be necessary to pre-
vent the division of the Populist party.
Some of them are going to the Repub-
leans, while others are going to the
Democrats. A prominent authority
does not believe the Populists would
poll $4,000 votes with a separate ticket
in the field in North Carolina"
