loosa, received letter the other day
from H. II. Hanna, chairman of ex-
ecutive committee of the Indianap-
oils monetary convention, in which
he was asked for his views on the
political situation and his judgment
as to the result in Iowa this fall.
Mr.. McNIillen has had wide exper-
ience during the past four years as
an attorney and in loaning money,
and has come in close contact with
all classes of people. In summing
up the situation he replied as follows
to Mr.. Hanna, and is sanguine as to
his predictions for Iowa. He said:
"Oskaloosa, Sept. Is.
II. H. Hanna,
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of
the 18th inst. enquiring as to the po-
litical condition in Iowa, it is my be-
lief that Iowa will return solid del
egation to congress. also expect a
majority of 100, 900 for Mckinley in
this state. Money has become abun-
dant here during the last years at
3 per cent, on good real estate se-
curity. Our farmers are well salts
fed with the situation.
Respectfully,
LIsToN MCMILLEN.

the results of ticket scratching in
this county last fell. The loss of one
candidate and contest fer two 9TH
ers, is condition not to be coveted
especially when the party is in the
