THE WAR ON DIR. DAUBNEY.
EDS. PUBLIC OPINION:


Who is DR.. Daubney and why is this
great tempest TN teapot? The doctor
was born on farm in this county, at
tended the common school and with
little means worked hard for an educa-
ton. His great ambition was to prac-
tice medicine. After overcoming many
obstacles he finally succeeded in ac-
complishing his hearts desire and for
about fifteen years has been one of
the most prominent and popular ply
sicians in Winneshiek county. In all
these years the foul tongue of slander
has never been hurled at him, until he
was so fortunate as to run for and be
elected mayor of Decorah, and to re-
ceive and accept an unanimous nomi-
nation for state senator, without the
permission of the impotent head of the
great family journal of Decorah. No
one with particle of sense can fail to
see that this is a war for vengeance and
not for principle. How can a great
would-be leader and dictator drop the
time honored principles of the republic
can party which have been his meat
and drink for lifetime, and for which
he has claimed to war in and out of
season, merely because some candidate
hos not consulted him as to whether
he shall accept nomination or not.
The great dictator's long experience as
a Sunday School Superintendent has
been of little benefit to him il he has
not yet learned that no man is perfect,
and that "he that is without sin should
csst the first stone." DR.. Daubney is
charged by the great moral leader that
he is unfit for state senator because he
is defendant in law suit now pend
ing, and that he has failed to pay
portion of his taxes. This is the sum
total of the charges against him. AS
to the first charge no man with spark
of honor should or would condemn any
other man, whether friend or foe, with
out hearing both sides of the question.
hiS CoSC 10 INV HI CouIt anu tIlC llIlC
to express an unqualified opinion is
after the evidence is all in. The second
charge can only properly be investiga-
ted 10y the Board of Supervisors or
regularly appointed equalizing board,
and the query comes in "where on
earth did this great apostle of righteous
indignation get his authority to as
sumo the duties of judge, jury, attor-
neys, witnesses and Board of Super
visors" Does it follow that because
gray-haired crank owns little blank
paper and has control of a printing
press he can at will dictate how and
for whom people shall vote and unload
his nauseating slime of venom and
hatred upon innocent parties? If such
is the case it would be much more ap-
propriate to wear the crown of king
than to be Ex-senator from Howard
county,"
There is thorn in the kings crown
that pricks sharply and causes great
uneasiness, and that is the so-called
"hand-Organ." Had the editors of the
latter been treated as members of the
profession as one business man treats
another, orOne gentleman another, in
stead of "what right have you to start
paper right by the side of the great
Il AMI" a better feeling would have
existed between those who should
have the great principles of the repub-
lican party at heart.
A REPUBLICAN FROM PRINCIPLE

DIR. DAUBNEY has satisfied all
equalization boards that he has listed
for taxation all property that is liable
under the law, and stands ready at
any time to defend his assessment be-
fore any court or equalization board.
Mr.. Bailey would have the voters
believe that DR.. Daubney was only as
sessed upon a valuation of s94 personal
property. He craftily omitted to state
the amount of real estate on which the
doctor pays taxes.

GENTLEMEN The Eureka II Fl
Engine and Columbia Separator which
we bought of Greer, Hawes d Co., Of
Decorah, Iowa, are all and more than
you claim fOi them. The engine is
very easy steamer, a tirst-class puller on
the road and the incest running engine
we ever used. The separator is with
out doubt the best separator made for
fast and good work. In threshing
seeds it has no equal. We came to
this conclusion after fourteen years ex-
perience, and in that time have used u
number of different makes of separators
and engines.

REPUBLICANS, will you vote for a
free silver democrat for senator simply
because the Decorah Republican,
which claims to be republican paper
tells you to. They have not proven
and cannot prove single charge they
have hurled at DR.. Daubney.

The list of candidates on the repub-
lican ticket as nominated is indeed a
good one. Every nominee is compe-
tent and deserving ard it behooves
every republican voter to stand by the
ticket. We cannot afford to allow any
personal spite or prejudice to change
our votes. Let us be republicans.

Mr.. BAILEY uses half column of
conglomerated figures in endeavoring
to make out that the fact that a United
States senator will be elected by our
state legislature cuts no figure with the
election of republican senator from
this district. Read the article again
and see if it sounds republican.

man had nice group picture made one
evening last week, and wishing to have
a satisfactory photo of themselves they
decided that the best place to get it
was at b. j. Reynolds gallery over
Ben Bears store.

now if he had promised Bailey that he
would support Harry Goddard for
Postmaster.

1T CANNOT BE.

II cannot be that he who made
This wOndrous world for our delight,
Designed that all It's charms should fade
And pass forever from our sight
That all shall wither and decay,
And know on earth no life but this,
With only one finite survey
OF all its beauty and Its bliss.
1t cannot be that all the years
OF toll and care and grief we live.
Shall find no rccompenSe but tears.
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads one to aspire
And struggle onward to achieve,
With every unattained desire
Was given only to deceive.
1t cannot be that after all
The mighty conquests Of the mind,
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And leave our dreams Of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept away,
All that cnthralled this mortal frame,
Shall not return some other day.
1t cannot be that all the ties
OF Kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies.
And the immortal mind departs;
That no screner light shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes,
To guide US rs our footsteps make
The pilgrimage of Paradise.

CYCLING PROVERBS.

Politeness is like pneumatic tire.
There isn't much in it, but it eases
many jolt In the journey OF life.
A pleasant disposition, like oil in q
bicycle bearing, reduces friction and
prevents world Of wear and tear.
Ambition is like a bicycle saddle,
though much sat upon, it generally
manages to be on top.
The world, like a bicycle, would soon
come to stop il 1t were not for the
CrankS.
Like links in bicycle chain, we
may not amount to much individually,
but collectively we make the wheels
go round.
Like balls in a bearing, the lives OF
some OF us must be one continued
grind that Others may enjoy them
selves.
Grit makes a man, but mars bear.
ing.
Neither men nor bicycles steer well
with tight heads.
Like a frlerd In need, the handle
bar is only appreciated when the road
is rough.
Life is like bicycle run; some wor-
ry fret and scorch along, and soon
reach the end while Others take II
easy and enjoy life as they 60.

STEGALL GETS THERE.
HE'S GOT GRIT AND NOT AFRAID TO
EXPRESS HIS SENTIMENTS.

Clarion Ledger.
MIR. Stegall, OF PontOtOc arose and
proceeded to electrify the house with
very unexpected and fiery speech
"Im sick OF hearing these constitu.
tional pints," he said "These fellers
talk az though that there constitution
won't let US do as we want. The con.
stitution don't rule; is the people.
Cheers. We're called here from the
plow.handlcs in the interest OF the
people We were called to build
Capitol. Both Houses have decided
by large majority, and the ma jority
should rule. There Is no man who
has a greater respect for the Governor
than me, but | have got grit enough
in my veins to stand by what | have
already said and done. I'm in favor
Of running it over the Governor.
We've been here one month; we've
spent $40, 900 OF the money belonging
to the pore felerS who are out in the
fields a.rolin' the dry clods pro and
con, from one row to another (checrs,)
and now we're a-gOn' to adjourn, and
we hain't done thing except draw Is
Il day and exercise our lungs!
(Cheers) Hits an injustice to the
pore payer. I'm sick OF these
here constitutional pints. Let's act
| like men and not like lot OF puppies,
Hit don't matter II your hide is
a-goin to the political lanyard; let hit
go," he thundered, but you will at
least know yer done yer duty. II the
Governor didn't intend fer US ter build
er Capitol, what in the name OF high
heaven did he take us erway from ole
Kit n Beck en- our plows ter come
down here fer. anyway? (Cheers.) I'M
sick and tired OF these here 'constitu.
tional pintsn These fellers are a-tak-
in' too much about the constitution
"Wha's the constitution, anyway,
when the peoples money is concerned?
(Applausc.') Some er these fellers Is
skeerd Of their records, but hain't.
I've got grit enough in my veins ter try
ter pass hit over the Governors veto,
nohow"
Mr.. Stcgalls speech aroused wild
enthusiasm, and he was cheered to the
echo, and when at the close OF his
oraton he yelled in sentoriah tones:
"These fclers are a-talkin' erbOut the
power of the Governor. l don't re-
cognize no power above me except the
God in heaven and say pass the bill
irrespective Of his veto, the hall rang
with applause.

The Eutaw (Ala.) Whig says the
maddest editor IN the country lives in
Alabama. One evening last week he
attended social given at Il private
residence, and during the evening the
ladies organized a hugging-bee, the
proceeds to go to the church. Prices
were graded according TO the person
to be hugged For instance, for hug
glng young, inexperienced girls you
had to give 10 cents; married women
brought Is cents and widows a quar-
ter. Old maids came in bunch OF 8
cents a dozen. Well, our friend was
blipdfolded, and giving up 10 cents
said he would take a married woman.
After the hugging was oyer the band.
age was removed from his eyes, and
10! and behold he was hugging his
own wife. Then he wanted his Ii
cents back.
