TRUE DEMOCRACY SLAPPED.
lMontezuma Democrat1
The true democracy OF this state were
given direct slap in the face at the So
called democratic convention held at
Des Moines last Wednesday. They were
told they were not wanted in the party.
Populism and calamity howlers were
given front seat and they dictated
the nominee for governor, the nominee
for railroad commissioner and the plat
form. No "open door, nor veal was
even offered.

SHAW, LINCOLN AND THE
KAISER.
Huntington Hawkeye.1
The Hawkeye deeply regrets, not as q
partisan, but as an American, the criti-
cism of Governor Shaw by the Union
Soldiers Union In it's recent session at
Des Moines. Not so much on account
of Governor Shawr-for, however unjust
the censure, he will come out Of 1t I'M
scathed-but on account Of the veterans
themselves and our common citizenship.
The nation was profoundly impressed
with the spontaneous uprising Of the
American people, both north and south,
union soldiers and confederates, in the
late war with Spain. One Of the sub
FINEST results Of that national exalta-
ton was the obliteration forever Of the
old-time prejudices and rancor of the
civil war. The country hailed with loud
acclaim the appointment of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, Gen. Joe Wheeler and other
ex-confederates to commands in the
volunteer army 1t was upon the occa-
sion of this fervid outburst of popular
feeling and desire that Governor Shaw
secured for Gen. Lincoln command.
His act met with universal approval
then; the protest now is untimely, I'M
called for and deeply to be regretted.
What are the American people to do?
Shall they nurse the old causes Of irri-
tation or shall they clasp hands in a
common patriotism? The flag belongs
to all; so do the fighters beneath its
folds. Shall we let despotic monarch
set loftier example of liberation and
liberty than we set for ourselves? The
Emperor William, of Germany, made an
address the other day on the battlefield
of ST. Privat, near Metz, at the unveil-
ing Of statue designed to commemor-
ate the valor of the men of both armies
Hear him, O, sons of Freedom, and, in
the words of the beloved hero of Apo
mattox, Let US have peace" The en-
peror said:
II desire that the meaning Of this fig
ure be generally known. 1t stands on
this field as a guardian of all the brave
soldiers of both armies, French and
German, who fell. The French soldiers
!. who found glorious grave at st. Pri-
sAyat also fought bravely and heroically
for their emperor and fatherland. When
our flags are lowered in greeting before
this bronzed statue and futter mourn
fully over the graves of our dear COM
rades may they wave over the tombs of
our foes and whisper that we think sor-
rowingly Of their brave dead. With deep
thanks and an upward glance to the
Lord of Hosts for the guidance He SC
mercifully vouchsafed to our great en-
peror, we will recall that the countless
souls Of all who once stood face to face
in hot encounter will look down upon us
this day from where they stad around
the throne of the Supreme Judge, united
in eternal peace"
