him for his tireless and unselfish
work.
In the Sixth district r. w. Clayton
was faithful to every duty, and night
and day worked like a Trojan. Rid
ing across the country to political
meeting one night Governor Shaw
said to the writer that, wesley Clay
ton is one of the most manly and able
fellows l ever knew. There is no
brag or bluster about him, and when
he tells you anything you can depend
upon him delivering the goods. He
is one OF the truly great men in the
party in Iowa to-day
Then comes the county organiza-
ton which was never more perfect or
in better working condition than this
year. Chairman Chas. S. Walling
was the right fellow in the right
place, and he came as near being in
every place at one and the same time
as did the proverbial fee. His know
ledge of men and affairs gave him
great advantage, and he SO worded
his requests to his co-workers that in
place of thinking of refusal they
endeavored to do twice as much as
was asked of them.
While after all the victory belongs
to the people, whose sober Judgment
led them to vote right this year, yet
too much credit cannot be given the
fellows who assumed the responsible
ity, and gave of their time and
strength and means, in rounding up
the pickets md supplying ammuni-
tion to the men on guard during the
notable struggle and remarkably sue
cessful issue.

ON SECOND READING.
Street Car Ordinance Goes
Through the City Council.

In meeting that lasted until after
midnight Tuesday night the electric
street car ordinance passed the city
council upon its second reading.
There will be one more reading, at a
meeting to be called by the mayor as
soon as convenient, but it is general
ly conceded this will be only form
al matter and that the ordinance will
have no opposition.
1t will then go to the people for
ratification at special election. The
present franchise does not provide
for light contract, but it is under
stood the Oskaloosa Street Car &
Land 90. will be given the contract
if they build the road. If they fail to
construct the road within one year
they forfeit all the old rights they
now hold.
Section S, stipulating the schedule
of running cars was the one which
has caused the most discussion in
the first and second reading. 1t was
finally fixed in the following language
and passed with only one dissenting
voice:
tSee. 5. The cars of said company
shall be operated over the entire
lines on the following schedule to-
wit: From the public square to Penn
College and return to public square
every thirty minutes, that is every
fifteen minutes each way, and from
the public square to Forest cemetery
or East End of Q avenue and return
to the public square every thirty
| minutes, that is every fifteen minutes
each way, and from the public square
to the Rock Island depot and return
to the public square every twenty
minutes, that is every ten minutes
each way, and from the public square
to the Iowa Central depot and return
to the public square every twenty
minutes, that is every ten minutes
| each way, each and every day except
| Sunday from six-t thirty O'Clock a. m.
until ten o'clock p. m, and on Sun

Major Harry o'Connor, well
known in Iowa generation ago,
died at the Marshalltown Soldiers
Home, Nov. 7th, in his s1st year.
Major O'Connor was attorney gem
eral of the state, and came within
one or two votes of being nominated
by the republicans for governor.
When in his prime he was a brilliant
orator. He was an enthusiastic re-
publican from the beginning, and in
all the early campaigns Of the party,
stumped the state, thrilling the mass
es by his eloquence. During the past
twenty five years his undertakings
in life have not been successful. As
Lafe Young aptly puts it, Into his
grave we put his faults and remem-
Der only his good deeds and his
warm old Irish heart"

THE HERALD is really glad that
the Republican of Mahaska county
have shown no disposition to "ratify''
the election. A jollification really
does no good and is often the in

republican is just as happy as he can
he over the result, and the peace and
good will which is sure to follow will
give the Democrats something to be
thankful for on the coming feast day

TILE MEN AT TILE HEAD.

No enterprise is ever successful
without a good business head to lead
it. Outside conditions may be favor
able, but the leader must be there to
marshal his forces, or victory will be
uncertain. How vividly this thought
has been illustrated in the recent
campaign Mark Hanna, who per-
haps has been abused by the opposi-
ton more than any other man, is a
clean and successful business man
and these are the elements which led
to the success of the Republican
party in the nation. His subordin-
ates trusted him and the people had
faith in him and worked out his plans
religiously.
In Iowa-think of the great new
record of 10000 maiority-the Re-
publicans had great general in Fl

his plans never missed fire. The

OUR BOYS IN BLUE.
On the 14th, 18th and 10th,

There's to be great encampment
OF the gallant U, v. U.
They fought for our starry banner
In the days of '62;
They stood elbow to elbow
With the boys who wore the blue.
Yes, stood in the line of battle,
On the field of CORY hue,
And carried our flag to victory,
The grand old U. v, U.
So you are coming within our borders
To our homes we love so true;
We give you welcome, thrice welcome,
Dear boys of the U. v. U.
Some say, "Who are those veterans?
i would know them better by far
III you'd say, the soldiers are coming,
The grand old G. A. r."
Now listen; want to tell you
That many of their names are en-
rolled
In theranks of our dear Grand Army,
Still true as in days of old.
To me-they're the same old comrades,
The boys who wore the blue,
The dear, brave boys of the GA. r.,
And the boys of tie U. v. U.
All hail to your coming, old veterans,
All hail to the boys of the blue.
We salute and again bid you welcome,
The old battle-scarred U. V. U.

STARTLING ERROR.
Bad Botch in the Biennial Elec-
tion Amendment.

Des Moines, Nov. IA "A literal con-
struction of the language of the hien-
nial election amendment to the con-
stitution of Iowa which seems to have
been adopted by the people at the
election November s, will continue in
office for another year every official
whose successor was elected at that
election. 1t viii affect about 1000
township, county and state officials.
1t will at least cut off one-half of the
tenure of office of all these 2,00c, for
they cannot take their seats until
1902, if then. And these are but
few of the amazing results of an
astounding defect in the amendment.
According to its language Secre-
tary of State Dobson, Treasurer of
State Herriott and Attorney General
Remley are entitled to another year
tenure of Office; and it is doubtful IL
Secretary of State-Elect Martin,
Treasurer of State-E Elect Gilbertson
and Attorney General Elect Mullan
will be entitled to their offices with
out another election. And this state
ment applies NOT only to the three
state officers mentioned, but to the
1000 township and county officials
whose successors the people voted
for at the recent election.
The biennial election amendment
provides as follows:
The terms of office of the Judges
of the supreme court which would
otherwise expire in odd numbered
years and all other elective state,
county and township officers whose
terms of Office would otherwise ex-
pire in the year 1901, and members
of the general assembly whose sue
cessors would otherwise be chosen in
the year 1901, are hereby extended
one year and until their successors
are elected and qualified.
This means that all state, county
and township officers whose terms
expire in 1901 shall serve for an ad-
ditional year. Every officer, almost,
| for whose successors the people
voted at the recent election, goes out
of Office the first Monday in January
and his successor goes in on that day,
under the law as it stands. The first
Monday in January of the coming
year is January Z. Therefore, every
officer now incumbent, will, under
the biennial election amendment, re-
main in office for another year, while
the men who were elected on Novem'
Der 8, to succeed them, must wait for
a year before taking their offices
