Such statement il made by two life
long democrats Of Marshilltown, men
who have never voted anything else but
the democratic ticket. They are Henry
II. Gregg and Thornton w. Hayes. Both
OF the men are exceedingly we'll known
in the city and their acquaintance
know them to be men whose opinions
are not changed In q day or without
some deep thinking. The turning point
IN their convictions came at the Cousins
meeting on last Saturday afternoon,
when both, Unconscious OF the Others

him by the hand and told the ScOngreee-
man that they had never voted anything
else but the democratic tickets all their
lives but henceforth they were republi-
