Pursuant with an agreement made
last winter. County Attorney S. ".
5O'Hare and Il. w. Meyers will hold a
series OF six joint debates in the coun-
ty this fall. Mr.. Hare will champion
the cause OF democracy and Mr..
MEYERS that OF republicanlsm. AS the
Sdehates will be free the gentlemen
hope that they will be able to get
audiences. MARQUIS of Queensbury
rules will obtain. The debater having
the opening will speak for forty min
utes, his opponent will occupy one
hour and twenty minutes will be allow
ed for reply. After two hours OF
oratory the opponents will count the
dead. If there are more dead repub.
licans than democrats Mr. O'Hare will
have won and vice versa. Seriously,
the Debates are undertaken in good
faith and for the purpose Of full and
free discussion rather than for per.
sonal aggrandizement. There will be
absolutely no personalities. The
places and dates have not as yet beer
definitely chosen but will be an
nounced as soon as possible.

1896, that the prosperity of tie coun-
try under the gold standard and the
protective tariff has demonstrated
this beyond any doubt. They all re-
gard the talk of Imperialism as mere
cloak with which to cover up the
real purpose of the Bryanites. which
is to substitute the 16 10 I 53-cent dol
lar for the 1o0-cent dollar on which
the country is now doing such pros
porous business. They observe that
there is more money in circulation
now than there was in 1896, more
money per capita; that labor is en-
ployed at good wages: that the prices
Of the farmers products are corre-
spondingly higher, and the universal
verdict is that as long as the country
is in such good condition it would be
extreme folly to went . change. The
people wanted a change under similar
conditions in 1892. and they had four
years of hard tires as their reward
for it. They have learned better than
to make the same mis- AXE again.

Mr.. L. B. Stubbins, assistant agent
of the Northwestern, has been suffer-
ing for some weeks with mental de-
preston and on yesterday he became
for short time violently insane
While in this condition he talked wild
ly and even went SO far in his mania as
to strike Judge Conner blow on the
chest which would have felled a less
powerful man than the Judge. After
some time he became quieter and at
present he is much improved in mind.
His brother Rev. w. H. Stubbins
arrived today from Galesburg, Ill. and
will take him to that place. Mr.. Stub.
bins is an honest, Woodworking man
and until his present mania fell upon
him was most quiet and inoffensive
During the past few wears it seems
that misfortune has logged his foot
steps until finally brooding over his
troubles has brought temporary men
tai alteration. His many friends have
nothing but the sincerest sympathy
for him and it is the hope of all that
he may speedily recover his wonted
health.

be made to the east of the court house

King Andrew the First.
"Born to Command"

A King who, possessing as much
power as his gracious brother Will
liam W., makes a worse use of it.
A King who has placed himself
above the laws, as he has shown by
his contempt of our judges.
A King who would destroy our
currency, and substitute-old rags,
payable by no one knows who, and
no one knows where, instead of good
silver dollars.
A King born TO command, as he
has shown himself hv 9 3pointing men
to Office contrary to lie will of the
people.
A King who. wniie h vas feeding
his favorites out of the public money,
denied a pittance TO the old soldiers
who fought and bed FIR our indie
pendence.
A King whose prime minister and
heir apparent was thought unfit for
the office of ambassador by the peo-
pie:
Shall he reign over us, Or shall the
people rule?
1t is fac simiie reproduction of a
poster which was extensively cir.
culated in 1882, wien Andrew Jack
son was reelected. 1t is interesting
reading for democrat who are now
using the same sort of arguments
against President Mct.inley.

The editor of the Bulletin should
have learned by this time that he can
gain nothing in this community by try
ing to besmirch the name and fame of
j. Fred Meyers. Democrats and re-
publicans united to do him honor both
in life and in death. His name was
synonym for honest and courageous
thinking. The insinuations upon his
character and purposes in Mondays
Bulletin are unworthy any man and
will be resented by a people who loved
( the man about whom they were ut
tered. Mr.. Caswell should fight the
living and not the dead. He should
not attempt to impugn the motives of
one who can no longer defend himself;
it is towards and dastard's trick.
Mr.. Meyers has defenders however,
every man in this community was his
friend and will gladly bear testimony
that he was honest and sincere in all
he said and did. Be manly Mr.. Cas-
well Do not attempt to tell of things
which if they happened must have oc-
Cured before you came to this com
munity and about man whose tongue
is silenced forever. Attack the living
all you please, nothing you can say will
hurt us, but let the departed rest in
peace. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that the statements made by the Bull
letin are wholly untrue.

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Executive Committee Issues Appeal for
Effort to Defeat Bryan.

2 Il
The executive committee of the
national democratic committee to-
night issued a letter calling upon
the national democracy, the gold
democrats of the United States, to
use every effort to prevent Mr.. Bry-
ans election. The address reads
in part:
'.The destruction of the gold stand
ard, the degradation of the public cred
it, the paralysis of industry. the re-
striction of commerce, increased cost
of production and descent to a paper
basis are the disasters threatened by
the election of Mr.. BRYAN, and he is
pledged to infict them on the country
as soon as he gets the power.
He seeks that power by an appeal to
the anti-expansion and antitrust senti-
ment of the people. The difficulties OF
our external policy were as unforeseen
as their solution is at presentunreveal.
ed. The evil of trusts has no party
parentage, and will be remedied by
the combined intelligence of our par
ties. Without minimizing the perils
of either we affirm that no greater evil
can befall our government than the
Impairment of it's vigor. the destruc-
ton of it's credit, and the ruin of our
Industries, which Mr.. Bryan is speciti-
cally pledged to effect if he gets the
power.
Therefore, we appeal to our coun-
trymen again to avert disaster from
their country by his defeat.

THEY HAVE MONEY.
Farmers and Wage Earner. Put
Money in Bank arA Are Opposed
to u Chang.

Wapello, Ia, Oct. 4.-Ihe Wapello
Republican presents an evidence of
prosperity that is simply stunning.
The Republican shows that in sin-
gle bank in that town the deposits
in 1896 were $31 ,G81.s9 and che NUM-
Der of depositors 225. while the last
bank statement, for September. s.,
1900, shows that this bank had 741
depositors and the amount of deposits
was $131, 1882, or al increase of over
300 per cent. These deposits, it was
learned, belonged IL home people,
there being no TO apital on de-
post in this bans, +. h is a saw
ings bank. Another fact common to
all banks and referred to in this in
stance is that the deposits belong
chiefly to farmers and people who live
on wages and salaries. Bank depos-
its do not belong to merchants and
capitalists to any great extent be-
cause these men use their money in
their business. No better evidence Of
the prosperity of the people can be
found than in the rapid growth Of
bank deposits in Iowa during the
past four years. The illustration
given from the Wapello bank is not
an exceptional one. The compilation
of bank reports by the auditor of
state every three months has shown
this condition to be universal
throughout Iowa. Under such condfi-
| tions it is no wonder the farmers and
business men and working people
generally say they want mo change"

Under the Wilson tariff, providing for
free wool, the Boston quotations in
August, 1896, ranged from IL to 80 cents
for wool. Under the Dingley tariff
