When read brother Gilbert Jones'
advertisement in the JOURNAL of last
week, it made me feel real bad, bad;
SO bad that l thought of making an
assignment and quit selling McCor-
mick Right Hand Open Elevator
Binders and New No. Mowers, and
then pay my creditors twenty five
cents on the dollar. Now Gilbert
you claim to have the authority to
sell a right hand Mccormick Binder
that has been run two days and your
price on this binder is $4,000. will
give you $4,000 spot cash for any
Mccormick binder that has been run
two days and will allow you $500
for your trouble. You may wire
your man, MIR. Lehnhardt, OF Walnut
to ship at once and as soon as the bin
der is delivered you can have the cash
for the same. Now as to the sluggish
draft and the threshing of the grain
by the Mccormick Right Hand Open
Elevator, this am willing to leave
to the 43 farmers in the vicinity of
Audubon who purchased Mccormick
Right Hand Open Elevators last sea-
son. Let these farmers make their
report, and then Gilbert would like
for you to make minority report.
Now as to the Champion machine
they have failed to champion. They
are back number and thing of the
past. The push feed has pushed it,
self out. The wobble gear mower
has wobbled itself out and the Cham
pion company have initiated the Nc
Cormick No. 4 mower and puff about
there draw cut mower, something
that the Mccormick has used for the
last six years. In God we trust.
Truly yours. G.. w. HOOVER, dealer
in hardware and implements, Audu-
bon, Iowa.

Cozine. The convention unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
/ Be it ResoIped, By the democ-
racy of Audubon county in conven-
ton assembled; That we re-affirm and
adopt the platform adopted in
1896 in Chicago i'll every line and
letter, and declare it to be the
constitution of pure Democracy. The
attention of the people is called to the
fact that although congress, Repub-
lican in both branches, has been in
session for more than three months,
no laws have been passed; that
charges have been publicly made that
senators have speculated in sugar
stock, while having under advisement
the law regulating the tariff on the
product !; that public justice has been
made mockery by the so-called i'm.
prisonment Of the agent of the sugar
trust, while the principals have gone
atrocities committed in Cuba and oul
patriots who are struggling for Their
liberty, as we'll as with the Americans
who suffer from the tyranny of Spain.
We denounce the setting up of asingle
gold standard as the policy of aristo
Gratis and despots, unjust to our wealth
producers and dangerous to, our free
institutions. We rejoice that the
financial policy Of Cleveland was EN-
! phatically repudiated at the Chicago
convention and later at the polls wheI
$500, 900 American citizens reaffirmel
: their confidence in Jetfersonian Demo
crazy.
. Resolped, That we condemn til,
Republican party of Iowa for thei
duplicity and Hypocrisy in legislatinl
q upon the temperance question. Will
they have receded from their cham
pionship of prohibition, they hav,
;, failed to enact any logical measure t.
, /, protect the commonwealth from tn,
baneful effect of bootleggers, both do
nestle and foreign, as to place suffi
8 cient safe guards around the manufac
0 ture and sale of liquors in all forms
and we hereby declare ourselves il
favor of the Democratic doctrine O
I local option and high license.
|. ResoIped, That the Democrats APP
u pointed to the next state convention ar
e hereby instructed to carry out tn,
;. doctrines expressed in these resolu
: tions.
After the convention adjourned tn
:, township committeeman convened an,
= elected county chairman, the LUCKY
statesman being Mr.. j. F. McAntnch
of Extra.
