Congressman G.. B Lands, of
Indiana, will be at the assembly
July 9TH. He is to the house
what Senator Beveridge is to the
senate, an orator who always draws
members from the cloak rooms to
hear him. He recently distin-
guished himself in his speech on
the norman question in the house,
and his Investigations on this sub
ject will enable him to
give some startling facts on this
subject. Congressman j. P. Dol
liver, of Iowa, will be here July
18th, the date of the shl liners
meeting. As an orator he cannot
be excelled at the present time
and his we'll known ability to draw
crowds will insure a large attend
ance. Watch the next issue of
the Inter- Ocean for a full list of
the attractions up to date.

HON. RUFUS K. POLK,

The Democratic candidate from
the Seventeenth Congressional dis
trict, comes before the voters of the
district this fall a tried and true
friend of the people. 1t was said
of his illustrious relative, President
Polk, that che entered Office with
a definite purpose in view and ac-
complished it, The same may be
said of Mr.. Polk. His record as
Congressman has been above criti-
cism. He has looked faithfully
alter the interests of the people of
his district. He has given special
attention to the pension claims Of
soldiers from his district, and as a
result of his efforts i'll this line a
number of deserving pensioners
have been placed on the pension
rolls. Through his efforts three
rural delivery mail routes have
been established i'll the district with
the prospect of additional service in
this line. In all the details of his
official career he has been faithful
to the interests of the common peo
pie. Mr.. Polk comes from good
old Democratic stock. He possesses
all those traits of human character
which constitute the attributes of an
ideal candidate. Born and reared
on a farm he is of the people and
knows their wants. He is grad
uate of Lehigh University. He
entered the shops of the iron works
at Danville, Pa, a number of years
ago as a laborer at SI.2o per day
and worked his way up to manager,
which position he resigned several
months ago, and is now part owner
of smaller plant of the same town.
His experience in life has eminently
fitted him for the position which he
now holds, and for which he received
the unanimous nomination for re-
election from every county compos
ing the district. When the cries for
help from the suffering and down
trodden Cubans were waited to Our
shores, he donned the uniform and
joined the army of liberators. Here
again he showed the kind Of stuff
he was made of. And when, through
the inexcusable neglect Of the War
Department, his comrades in arms
were stricken with the deadly
typhus, he pulled off his coat laid
floors in their tents and tenderly
cared for his sick boys.
Here is a brave man, brave as |
the bravest, gentle as the gentlest,
and it is of such stuff heroes are
made. Do you wonder then that
the soldier boys worshiped him, and |
voted for him regardless of party |
Affiliations two years ago? The
men in the mines. shops, lumber
woods and on the farms also voted |
for him, and will do so again.-Sul-

in Washington that there has been no
love lost between Mr.. Mckinley and
ex-senator Quay, who was kept out of
his seat in the Senate by Boss Hanna,
there was much curiosity aroused
when Quay called at the White House
and had an hours private talk with
Mr.. Mckinley. 1t has leaked out
that Quay sought to make a dicker
whereby the administrations influence
would be used to help him IN his fight
to control the Pennsylvania legislature
and be returned to the Senate, and
that Mr.. Mckinley refused to help,
him, on the ground that he had
troubles enough of his own just now
without assuming those of Quay. 1t
is said that Quay left in pet, and
made threats of getting even.
The tip has been passed in the Nc
knley inner circle that Hanna's
agents have got the thing all fixed and
and that majority of the electoral
college is to be secured by the same
methods that were successful four
years ago--the Wholesale use of
money. AS a consequence, the re-
publcans have exchanged their fright
for confidence. Democratic advices
do not coincide with that tip. Hannas
agents are plentifully supplied with
cash in all the doubtful states and are
trying hard but they haven't got things
fixed yet, and they won't get them
fixed, If vigilance on the part Of demo-
cratic leaders can prevent. The demo
Gratis know the game that the republi-
cans are trying TO play, and hope to
spring some surprises on the McMin-
leyites before it is ended.

He is greeted by thousands al every
stop, and the enthusiasm is un-
bounded. $4,000 votes, properly

much brighter than they were then.
A full Democratic vote, all over the

REGIMENT OF IOWA DUTCH.

Colony In Sioux County Said to Be Send
ing Drilled Men to Join BOers.
ORANGE CITY. Jan. Am entire
regiment of soldiers is said to be en-
route from the Dutch colony in this
Sioux county to join the Beers "a the
Transvaal. If seemingly we'll anthem
ticated accounts are to be believed,
the organizers of the force are not
attempting to send the entire body to
the seat of war at once, but are con-
tent to ship then out three or four at
time by different routes. The re-
cruits were not all gathered in Sioux
county, but the money to hire and
equip them was all raised in or near
Orange City and Sioux Center. That
drilling has been in progress in remote
parts Of the county for some time is
certain, though much secrecy was OBJ
served. 1t is said that only picked
men have been accep ed.
