AT the Democratic rally Tuesday
night, S. S. Wright, of Upton, in the
most impassioned panegyric to the
American Declaration of Indepen-
dence, proclaiming the inalienable
right of all men to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness and its asser-
tion that all just governments derive
their power from the consent of the
governed and to the constitution az
the guarantee to all the people of the
fun enjoyment of these inalienable
rights, and to the flag, one of which
he held in his hand, as the emblem of
their authority and power, the senti-
ment applauded by the multitude was
hissed by two young men dressed in
the rough rider suit of Teddy, the
rider of the hobby horse. These two
young men were not representatives
of the rough rider element in Cresco,
But with the President and
his leading henchmen alleging that
ottS 1/SS1di q UlOlI VI ll0OpCuQCuCO 10
an abstraction, untrue and false and
conducting the administration outside
of constitutional limits it is not sur
prising that they should have hissed
the flag. Mr.. Wright repeated his
apotheosis to the Declaration, the con-
stitution and the flag which had called
forth rounds of applause, and asked if
any republican had applauded the
sentiment, but none of them had done
so. The mild rebuke he administered
to them caused them to crouch and
hide behind persons near them, but
the finger of scorn was pointed toward
them. Having never heard them al
luded to except in derision, these
yerdant youth thought the flag, the
constitution and the Declaration of
Independence were objects of scorn to
republicans and hence they hissed.

The D emocratic County Ticket.

y
The Democrats met in county con-
vention at the Court house, Tuesday
and put in nomination an unexcep.
tionably good ticket. Not one of the
persons named were hunting for the
place to which he was called upon to
accept, but in each instance the office
was hunting the man, and in each in
stance person worthy of the office
was placed before the people for their
suffrages.
For County Auditor. the name of
Leo ]. Glass, man not unknown to
our people was nominated. a man of
know integrity and of irreproachable
character with ample executive abili-
ty was placed in nomination as the
unanimous choice of the convention.

Thomas M. Novak of Protivin, was
put on the ticket as the unanimous
voice of the democracy in convention.
Mr.. Novak for several years has been
in the mercantile business, and is at
present, at Protivin, and is highly es-
teemed for his integrity, ability and
high personal character, and will
make competent, civil and courteous
public officer.
For County Attorney the nomina-
tion fell to Joseph Griffin of Elma, as
the unanimous choice of the conven-
tion. Mr.. Griffin is to the manor born,
lawyer of a high order of ability as
an advocate and one who has met with
fair measure of success in his pro-
fession. He would bring to the dis
charge of its duties sound judgment,
character above reproach and zeal in
the promotion of the right and the
punishment of wrong.
For the office.of recorder the voice
of the convention was unanimous in
behalf of e. S. Marsh of Lime Springs.
Mr.. Marsh is man whose entire life
has been spent in Howard coun ty and
in the immediate neighborhood. He
has good education, is good scribe,
an honest and incorruptable man, and
will make an admirable man for the
office. He is now with his father in

where he is honored and respected by
all classes.
For Supervisor for the End district
Jerry w. Conway was nominated, re-
ceiving of the II votes of the district,
after which his nomination was made
unanimous. Mr.. Conway is a furni-
ture dealer and manufacturer at FL

the position of public servants.

production of this famous drama
that for an entire season enthused

peals to all classes and both sexes.
1t will be given with a strong
company, complete scenery and
some of the most novel mechani.
cal effects ever seen on any stage.
There will be popular price matt
nees Wednesday and Saturday.
This play possesses a remark.
able novelty in the way of a ter
rife snow storm, the most realistic
and original that has yet been
given to the stage. The storm is
not a gently falling and insignifi.
cant patter of paper, but comes
down furious and fast, drifting,
driven and genuine; in fact, just
like the snow storms that may be
seen anywhere in midwinter in
New England. 1t takes two ma
chimes to do the work, one to
carry the snow past the door and
another to carry it past the win
dow, the ingredients being finely
cut paper and salt.
