THE MAN WITH THE PASS.

the MAN WITH THE PASS.
BY the time another issue of the T.-R.
goes to press a great political crisis will
have come and gone in the state of Iowa
and the struggle of the people against
the railroad attorney for the control of
republican politics in their state Will
have been settled or aggravated TO a
greater heat. Settled if the friends OF
clean and free politics succeed in de-
feating the avowed railroad candidates
for the state treasurer and secretary of
state nominations, and only prolonged
and aggravated if either of these men
win.

! Today's dispa tches from Des MONIES In
dictate that that man s Redman. and

Now, will the delegates stand for thi
sort Of thing? Il. there a state senate
or representative who will dare lead hi

not time for the delegates in a republi
