ANNOUNCEMENT.
for Senator.
Our Great Jackass Party.

The Democratic party, with great
business and truth, claims to repre-.
sent the masses OF the people, in all
their contentious for right and liberty
but, like all institutions resting upon
popular approval and support, it is
subject to the mutations of success
and disappointment incident to the
frivolity and weakness of popular
clamor. So frequent have the mis-
takes and failures OF the Democratic
party become, that, by common con-
sent. the party has been designated
by the sobriquet OF "Jackass Party"
and it is an every day occurrence to
see carricatures OF the party in which
the braying animal with the long
ears is recognized as a fitting party
emblem. However Objectionable the
nickname and comparison may be to
our patriotic sensibilities, still it
clings, and by common consent is ac-
cepted, just as the elephant is accept
ed rs representing the "Grand Old
Party OF Republicanism, and the
truthfulness Of the picture and it's hu-
NOR is SO apparent that none have
the hardihood to protest.
It seems that in the national cam
paign just now opening the Demo
cratic party is again to exemplify it's
Jackass proclivities, and already we
have evidences of it's being tackled on
to the dead body OF free silver" and
handicapped with the traitorous
plank of 'tanti-expansion." Good
Lord, deliver US from the selfish,
weak-minded demagogues who would
wreck thegrand old Democratic party
upon these treacherous shoals. Is it
possible that there is not enough
sense and reason left in the rank and !
hie OF the party to take up the living !
issues OF "anti-trust, "anti-paternal- |
SIN, = ETC., and let us have them for |
instead OF issues already
discounted and defeated? Will the
Democratic party continue to do
ZONE foolish thing, such as our polit-
cal opponents confidently rely upon.
because they have been taught byex
'erience that some faux pas can be
expected to defeat US in the very hour
bot victory should be assured?
II the party be committed to free
liver and anti-expansion, then of
ruth will it furnish the stick to break
10 own head.

THE LUCKY 4-LEAF

Did you ever look for a four-leaf GLOW
er! Who has not? We we'll remember
the great pleasure we experienced when.
as special favor, our teacher allowed us
to study under the noble appletr grow
ing near the schoolhouse. With the
ground carpeted with sweet clover the
temptation to look for "four-leaves'' was
too great to resist, and the finding of one
brought feeling OF quiet satisfaction.
In studying for a suitable emblem for
a good trademark, the thought came TO
us that for a remedy which has given
such universal satisfaction as PHELPS.

SHAW AND THE SENATORSHIP.
lDenison Review.]
There are thousands of people in Iowa
today who could have rejoiced to have
seen Governor Shaw elected United
States Senator. Early in the contest
Governor Shaw announced that he
would not be a candidate, and he stuck
to his word despite flattery and prom
ises which would have completely
turned the mead of man of less stabls
character.
In his official capacity no one could
! have been fairer to both candidates
I than was Governor Shaw. No officia
act of his can be pointed at as being
| done in the interests of either Senate,
Gear or Mr.. Cummins.
Another commendable feature of the
governors course Was that he did moi
endeavor TO influence his friends either
| for one man or the other. The Review
| which has ever been n friend to Ms
governor. favored the recollection o.
Senator Gear. but many others of tbs
governors friends in Crawford county
We're equally ardent in their support o.
Mr.. Cummins.
4 We hate a man who thinks that be
cause one is his friend one must follow
| all his friendships or enmities and mus
continually lay aside personal prefer
ences and inclinatjons on the altar d
his friendship. Governor Shaw is no
that kind Of a man and thus it is tina
he comes out of the present contes
with hundreds Of friends who belonged
Ito both the Gear and the Cummin
camps. Governor Shaws political SUI
has not yet reached it's zenith. Tw,
more years of service as governor vii
serve to endear him to the hearts of tn
people and at some future time w
firmly believe that Leslie NJ. Shaw will
! be a United States senator from Iowa
