The facts in the case of Dobney vs.
Daubney are set forth in an article
copied from the Decoreh Republican
of Sept. 9, to which we invite the at
tention of the voters of this county
and district. They are republican
authority touching the character of
the man placed in nomination by the
republicans of Howard and Winne-
shelk for the important Office of state
senator. They are no charge of ours
but of one of the wheel horses of The
party,-one who for nearly forty
years has made the Republican the
oracle of the party in its county, and
a recognized leading party paper of
the state.
The favorable condition of the
weather thus far in September has
placed 80 per cent of the corn out of
all danger from frost and few days
more OF like favorable weather will
put the remaining 20 per cent in the
sound crop list. If such is the result
this county will secure the largest
quantity of corn ever harvested in a
single year owing to increased acre.
age and immense growth. It is esti-
mated that the yield of merchantable
corn for the state will not exceed 160
million bushels, which will be about
0.000,000 less than last year. In this
county there will be full average of
merchantable corn, the dry and hot
weather not having affected the ma
turing of the crop, as it has where
drouth, as we'll as intense heat, pre-
vailed. The crop conditions through
out the state are reported at the fol-
lowing average per acre for other
crops than corn: winter wheat, 1876
bushels. ;.spring wheat 13 bushels; oats
80 bushels; rye, 16 bushels; barley
26 bushels; timothy, S.9 bushels; cul-
tivated hay, LIS tons per acre. These

The Public Opinion at Decorah as.
sumes that Willett Il Willett made
the case OF Daubney VS. Daubney an
equity case to prevent its coming on
for trial at the appearance term. The
editor OF Public Opinion ought to
know that in d suit at law to recover
the securities their transfer, however
wrongful could not be assailed. Hence
the only alternative for the attorneys
for the plaintiff is suit in equity
where the pretended transfer may be
called in question. The evidence il
such cases is usually taken out OF
court. The provision OF the statute
pertaining to causes OF this character
is as follows:
"The appearance term shall not be
the trial term for equitable actions
except those brought for divorce, to
foreclose mortgages and other instru
ments of writing whereby lien OF
charge on property is created, or to
enforce mechanics liens.''
1t is not honest politics to attempt
to mislead the public, or to procure
public sympathy by stating a hal
truth, where, as in this case, the at
torneps pursued their only course to.
ward obtaining these securities, if as
charged, wrongfully procured by the
Daubneys.
