REPUBLICANS WILL WIN.
Col. ID. B. Henderson Makes som
Observations on the Campaign.

Col. ID. II. Henderson Max es Some
Observations on the Campaign.
Des Moines, Nov. 4.-"The republican
ticket will win by big majority in
Iowa this year, unless the republican
voters prefer husking corn to getting
good prices for their corn" remarked
Col. David B. Henderson last evning,
as he walked out from the dining room
and began to shake hands with numer-
Gus friends who had heard that Col
Henderson was in town and who had
stopped to pay their respects. Col. Hen
derson is looking remarkably well. de-.
spite his hard work in the campaign.
ard moves ard speaks with a snap that
indicates him well prepared for the
work of the speakership of the national
house the coming winter.
Continuing about the campaign, Col.
Henderson said: you would be sur
prsed to see the interest manifested in
the campaign all over the state. / have
now spoken in every district in the
state except this one, and the interest
is really almost equal to a presidential
year. The crowds have been phenome-
nal, and the people are enthusiastic and
in dead earnest. believe that the
sues far too we'll this year to fail to
vote ana to vote the republican ticket.
1t is possible that the republicans will
stay in the COIN fields, but I believe
that they appreciate the situation too
We'll to do any such thing.
The meetings have been growing
steadily better, and the interest greater.
AT Leon this efternoon there were fully
5000 people in attendance. The COM
mittee had secured the big tent from
Des Moines, and it was packed full. 1
had expected that the crowd would be
small, and .hat 1 should be able to cut
the speech snort. But the crowd was
the biggest yet. and the people were
wildly enthusiastic. Everybody seems
interesed, and / believe the vote will be
large for an off year.
How about the campaign in Ohio?"
"The republicans are going to beat
Mclean hands down. / spoke there for
a week and fond q red hot campaign.
But the republicans nave been working
hard. and their strength hds Deen grow
ing steadily. Melon will be showed
under by big majority. Mckinley and
the republican administration are to be
thoroughly endorsed, in my opinion"
Col. Henderson will speak at the Au-
ditorium this evening and will un-
doubtedly have the largest audience of
the season to hear him. The more the
better remarked the colonel. jovially,
last night, when told that the indica-
tions are that the big hall will be pack
ed. "They can't place them too thick, ;"
he said, for everybody ought to know
what he Is voting for this year. Few
campaigns have been more important"
County Chairman Lincoln met Col.
Henderson at the Burlington station
last evening. when he arrived over the
K. & W.. about o'ciock. He was es-
corted at once to the Savery hotel. and
is located in parlor j. Many of his
friends called on him last evening.

a BITrER PILL.
Evacuation of Colenso Arouses Ap
prehension Among Brtrons,

London, Nov. 4.-The news that Coll
enso has been evacuated, another bitter
pill for the British public. is arousing
fears that the continental statements
White may prove true.
A significant fact is that the war Of
fee does not say when Colenso was
evacuated, so the statement which EN-
anated Thursday from DIR. Leyds. idiplo-
matte representative of the Transvaal
at Brussels. that the Beers had occu-
pied Colenso is possibly true. There is
much apprehension that the war office
is suppressing bad news.

Audubon. Nov. 4.-Ex- Congressman
Hager delivered a very able and elos
quent speech here last night to large
and enthusiastic audience, the cour
room being full to overflowing. His
speech dealt extensively with the Phil

position of the progressive and enlight-

ANXIOUS About white.

London. Nov. 4.-Gen. Whites posi-
ton is acknowledged to be SO precar-
ious that the landing of big naval
brigade to go to his assistance is being
advocated
While yesterdays rumors of Boer and
British victories are taken here to in
dlcate that some serious operations
have been carried out, it is generally
recognized that most of the news at
present is largely surmise and must be
accepted with great caution.
The rumors Of a continental anti
British coalition continue to occupy the
French papers. Referring to the all
legged Angio-Amercan understanding,
said to be an outcome of the Hispano-
American war. the Figaro says:
THE Washington cabinet is con-
vinced that had it not been for the res
olute attitude of Great Britain the Nc
Kinley administration would have had
to face an European coalition in Spain's
behalf to deprive the United States of
the fruits of victory. The English
played so well on this string that at
the present moment If Europe did not
remain in position of strict neutrality
it would not be long before United
States fleet would show it's flag on the
eastern and southern coasts of Africa.
This is the emperor's nightmare and it
will be used as an argument in favor
of an increase of the German navy
THE English hope that the increase
will be made with the view of a conclu-
sion of an alliance between Great Brit
ain, Germany and the United States

of Reasons.

Sioux City, Nov 40. P. Rebee,
Labor, and who has been waging war
against convict labor in the Anamosa
Ipen.tentiary, announced yesterday that
he will leave the democratic party and
will vote this fall with the republicans.
He says in the past he is convinced
that the union men never got thing at
the hands of the democratic party, and
as a matter. of fact he is sure that
Judge Kline, the democratic member
of the state board of control. is at the
bottom of the convict labor matter.
Mr.. Bebee says it is of no use to lay
this at the door of the republicans, in
whose support he now is working.

MARsHALLrowN. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER T. 1899

This attempt probably will not take
the form of an assault, but rather, fol
flowing the recognized Boer tactics, of
an attempt to draw the British from
their position in order to fall on them
when they are entangled in the difficult
country around Ladysmith.
| A sham retirement may be made in
order to tempt the British to sally out
In oder to deal the retiring Beers a
series of blows. Military men here
think this is the only hope of Boer sue
cess, but they have confidence in Gen.
Whites Judgment and believe he will
scent traps Of this sort after his past
Experiences.
Although the report that Gen. Butler
has gone to Durham is still unconfirmed
officially, 1t is quite possible that he
may really have started, as the war Of
flee gives out nothing touching the
movements of troops and officers. If he
| has gone to Durham it means that he
has revised his original plan of cam
paign, owing to the fact that he will be
unable to make real advance in the
| invasion of Orange Free State for at
least two months.
Meanwhile this country is demanding
the relief of Gen. White, who will be
unable to hold out so long in any
event. Thus Gen. Butler may possibly
collect portion of the arriving army
corps at Durham and push on to Pie
ltermaritzburg and Ladysmith, dealing
| on the way with the Beers he may
meet. BY that time surely the Beers
will have moved. if they have not done
so already, to the south of Ladysmith.
| This probable change of plan is only
another proof that the military author
lities here have consistently underval-
lued their antagonists from the begin
ning-a mistake now universally real
lied.
The latest news from Ladysmith,
dated Wednesday morning, indicates
that the interruption of communication
with Ladysmith may be due to Boer
movement on the railway The Daily
Mail published yesterday morning the
following dispatch of that date:
Matters today are quiet The Beers
apparently are mounting more heavy
guns to the north and northeast, which
are likely to give US trouble.
"A Boer contingent, 1900 strong and
clearly visible from the camp, is
streaming away to the south. The in
habitants of Ladysmith continue TO
leave the town"
That. it will be seen, is the beginning
of the movement to cut off Whites
communications, of which the Brussels
dispatch purports to give the ending.
AS regards that dispatch and its possi-
bic authenticity mentioned last night
1.-THE fact that the London Times and
other newspapers and individuals had
called the attention of the government
| TO the apparent leakage. The govern
ment processes to know of no way in
which such communications could es-
cape the censor's vigilance, apparently
ignoring the fact that, although ordi-
nary cipher dispatches are stopped. an
exception is made in favor of foreign
governments. which are allowed to
send and to receive cipher teieErams tc
land from their representatives in
South Africa
