GONE TO DEFEAT IN DISCHARGE E
OF GREAT DUTY.

The democratic party has gonss to de-
feat in discharge of duty which was
not to be evaded, however great the
temptation to palter with the issues
might be. For parties as for men, the
law Of conscience is the law of life.
The party Of Jefferson and Jackson is,
in an especial sense bound by that
rule.
It is natural to assume that the con.
test for the principles Of the found
ers of the government will end with
this election but there could be no
greater mistake. Four years mean
much in the life of an individual, bu.
they mean nothing in the life OF a
principle. The republicans achieved
their first successes after many dis.
astrous defeat. 1t is only along that
line that enduring victory is ever
achieved.
The country is too great to be mortal
liz wounded by the consequences Of .

ment BY powerful private interests will

means that our career of foreign con:

America is to champion the political

light of centuries ofexperience, is begin

Mr.. Byan's disappearance from public
life will be assumed by the partisans Of
monopoly, with whom the wish is father
to the thought; but the masses do not
forsake their leaders in that fashion.
The power of such personality does
not depend on the shifting fortunes Of
politics; for honesty and courage are
permanent forces in the worlds affairs.

WHERE WERE THE VOTES?

Was Iowa really colonized four years
ago, or was there large stay at home
vote in Iowa this year?
This is question which arises in the
minds of those who compare the vote of
Iowa this year with that cf four years
ago, as cast for Bryan and Mckinley at
the two elections.
1t is now estimated that the total ap-
parent loss in the total vote Of four
years ago, is 9,945 in the state. The
Republican gain was 1859, while the
democratic loss was 22,614.
Some of this loss may be accounted
for in the vote polled by the prohibi-
tionists, and Social Labor party, but
then where is the army of first voters,
We heard SO much about, and the citi.
zens becoming naturalized.
Every county in the Eighth district
shows decrease, except Lucas, which
shows gain Of 24O. Union shows the
smallest loss Of any of the other coun-
ties, but this may be accounted for by
the fact Of the large floating vote Of the
graders working on the new road of the
| g. b. & B. in the county.
The counties in this district are cred
tied with losses, aside from Lucas, from
1896 vote, as follows:
Adams .l48
Appanoose l4O
Clarke
Decatur
ffemOnG
Ringgold . - .,.... J. .........;... 2S2
Tayler I'll
Union fl
Wayne.............. ... 9S
| Whether this vote was democratic
or republican vote, il it stayed at home,
is question for conjecture. II the vote
was all got out this year, then that
large vote Of four years ago, must have
been colonized vote, as nobody SEEM
/ ed able to account for It. There is food
for thought in the sboYe figures. Cres.

This flower is fuller OF the sun
Than any our pale North can show;
II has the heart of August won,
And scatters wide the warmth and glow
Kindled at summers midnoOn blaze,
Where gentians OF September bloom,
Along October's leaf strewn ways,
And through November's paths of gloom
Herald OF autumn's reign. II sets
Gay bonfires blazing round the HELD
Rich autumn pays in gold his debts
For tenancy that summer yields
Besuty's slow harvest now comes on,
And promise with fulflment won;
The hearts vast hope does but begin,
Filled with ripe seeds Of sweetness gone
Because its myriad glmmering plumes
Like a great army's stir and wave
Because its gold In pillows blooms,
The poor mans barren walks TO lave
Because its sun shaped blossoms snow
How souls receive the light Of GOD.
And unto earth give back that glow
I thank Him for the golden rod
