Candidate Dow Speaks.
Andrew c. Dow. of Moline, caudi-
date fol circuit clerk, was heard ia
short address which he delivered with
great credit to himself and profit to
his hearers. Being of the class, he
said, that is supposed to be greatfully
carrying full dinner pals, he was. ac-
cording to repu blican logic, out of
place in addressing a democratic meet
ing. However. he felt like staying
with the party that always has the
best end of the argument and working
against the party of misrepresenta.
ton and coercion. AS evidence of re-
publican insincerity. Mr.. Dow pointed
to the party's treatment of the silver
issue in 1896. and again to the variety
of issues urged in various parts of
the country now to suit the local
whims of the people. On the ques-
ton of Imperialism the speaker men
toned the rapid change of the senti-
ment of the administration in re-
gard to the treatment of our
wards in the tropics since 1898, and
declared that the liberty of even Cuba
is unsafe at the hands of the moving
spirits of the republican party. The
pace we have struck in military af-
fairs holds out certain promise to be-
come ruinous one, and the placing
of the pomp and glitter OF war para
mount to the acts of peace will instil
in the rising generation ambitions
that bode i'll for the future policy of
the nation.
At the close OF Mr.. Dow's remarks
Mr.. Davenport, of My Hannah
Lady" fame. sang a political parody
on the song, which he had also writ
ten and, responding to an encore, gave
several funny sketches. He was ten
dered rising vote of thanks.
