A Merited Word for the Bows.

The democratic meeting in the OPP
era House Monday night before cleo
tion was largely attended and al
though disappointed as to the adver-
tised speaker Mr.. Dennison, of Clari-
on, the meeting was ably addressed
BY Raymond O'Malley, John M. Can
non and A. r. McCook. We have
heard all the political speeches deliy-
cred in Cresco during the campaign
and can truthfully say that the
speeches of last Monday night were
better than any republican speech de-
livered here and as good as that of S.
S. Wright one of the best speakers of
the state. The addresses of P. L. Nc
Hugh and of Sidney Head, have been
able also, they both ranking among
the best campaign speakers Of the
state. People are apt to overlook the
ability of those whom they have
known among them as boys and such
has been the case with the Howard
county boys who addressed the
meeting Monday night, but
had their addresses been delivered
among people where they were strang,
ers the boys would have had high
niche among public speakers for ora,
| tory and ability on the forum.

The Contest of 1900.

The political contest Of the country
terminated Tuesday in the triumph
of the Republican party. The presen-
tation of the issues before the country
were ably presented by the Democrat
ic party and adroitly avoided by its
opponent, again triumphing on false
issue in which the public is deceived.
In 1896 its false issue was internation-
al bimetalliSm, which was defeated
by the administration that went in on
that issue, and instead of giving the
people gold its sound money will con-
sist OF an unlimited issue uf national
bank money, not a dollar of which
will be legal tender in payment Of
Judgments, taxes or debts. Its further
legislation promised the banks the
party is in position to grant, ald it
will be authority to issue bank money
on the assets of the bank as security
for its redemption.
Trusts they declared in one breath
did not exist, in another that there
were bad and good trusts, and berated
the democrats because they defeated
the submission of a constitution
amendment for their control. With
law in abundance for their suppression
which the party has neglected to en-.
force, with the pretencc of constitu-
tional amendment they may be ex-
pected to grow and flourish for the
three or four years while the measure
would be pending, if submitted for
approval. We hear thoughtless men
and boys of the Republican party ask
in derision: "What is the matter with
Bryan?" Only that he was the advo.
cate of the cause Of labor, Of humanity,
of the oppressed, and Of the toiling
millions of the world instead of the
trusts, the pools, the syndicated com.
binations for their exploitation and
which from the abundance of their
unjust accumulations have given free
ly to the campaign funds used for the
reelection of the present administra-
tion and which may be expected to
permit their continued existence
until they shall have been remuner-
ated for the untold millions contrib
uted.

Wednesday night was the opening
night OF the German-Catholic church
fair, and large crowd had congrcgat-
ed at the new church, despite the un-

the church was gaily decorated with

erected in which smiling, young la
dies bartered useful articles for Uncle
Sans legal tender. Supper was serv-
ed in the gallery where long table
Was loaded with good things to eat.
There was fine program and several
of the selections were worthy of speci-
al mention. The Cresco Cornct Band
gave few selections which were ell.
Enthusiastically received. If we could
judge by the crowd we should call the
fair asuccess. The new church when
completed will be one of the finest in

The New Band.
ABSOLUTELY PURE

The new band, made it's first ap-
perance at the Democratic rally last
Monday evening and received the
unanimous appreciation and applause
of the throng of listeners. The rosie r
of members is as follows:
Solo BIB, cornet-Homer Deane.
Solo BIB, GO Frank Lomas.
lst BIB " Andrew Rygg.
lSt BIB Alfred Anderson.
End BIB +" A. w. Pecinovsky.

End BIB g Francis Anderson.
Trombone-E. ID. Brian.
Baritone Harry Hall.
Tuba-W. j. Mead.
Snare DRUM. L. Mason.
Bass Drum-Robert Toole.
The boys for the present are under
the leadership of Homer Deane, but
they will probably engage some first
class instructor during the winter.
Such a man can be secured for one
rehearsal week-all that is necessary
or desireable-for about one e-fourth
the amount which has been paid. A
reasonable amount like this will be nc
burden upon either the band or the
public and will enable the boys to
have few dollars once in while to
partially reimburse them for the time
consumed in filling engagements.
The band comprises nearly all the
original members of the Cresco
Military Band and all proficient per-
formers and it goes without question
that the new band will be success.
1t should have the hearty support of
the people of Cresco.
