From Fridays Daily.
The initial republican meeting held
in Eddyyille this fall took place last
evening in Ieggett's opera house. AL
an early hour the voters OF Eddyville !
and vicinity commenced pouring into

Joseph Parks, superintendent OF thei
Eddyville and Kirkville schools, intro
duced in few choice words the first
speaker, Hon. S. Fl. Hedrix of Allerton.
The address of Mr.. Hedrix was elo-l
uuent and convincing. He impressed
upon his hearers that the policies OF
the grand old republican party had
brought good times TO this country
and will continue to give the
same prosperity, ii the voters of Wa
pello county will go to the polls on No
vember and support Governor A. b.
Cummins and his colleagues on the re-
publican ticket. Representative A. w.
Buchanan then gave short talk, in
which he illustrated that the affairs OF
the state and Wapello county were
being handled in a straightforward
businesslike manner and expressed the
hope that the republicans of the thirty
ing little town OF Eddyyille and its
Immediate surroundings would return
TO the county Offices every candidate on
the ticket The concluding address was
made by Hon Ellsworth Rominger, or
Bloomfield, congressional committee
man of the sixth district. Mr.. Rom
inges, although he had but short
time to talk, presented in an admir-
able manner to the voters of the Eddy
Vile precinct. the>reasons for their ar
lent support of the republican candi-
dates, on election day.
MIR. Hedrix Talks.
Hon. S. H. Hedrix began an able adj
dress by telling of the origin OF the re-
publican party, it's trials and troubles
UP to the time OF its return to the rul--
ing power of this country. in 1896.
when the late VIM. Mckinley went in
TO Office and Immediately made rev.
elation in the business world, making
factories that had been shut down pri-
or to that time, open their doors and
ask for laboring men, finally
s bringing to the American people what
they now SO magnificently enjoy, an
abundance of prosperity. good times
and peace with ALL One of the most
striking parts of the address OF Mr.
Hedrix was where he told OF
the difference between the
platforms of the republican
and democratic parties. He stated thai
there was not an intelligent man living
who could not distinguish the republi
can platform from the democratic by
simply reading the first paragraph.

IF the headlines or caption OF the1
platform was torn off, said Mr.. Hen
dirk and no explanatory heading coult
be seen any intelligent man coult
very readily tell the platform OF thu
incompatible party from that OF tn
the republican party by simply readln'
the first paragraph. The first Word
in the democratic platform are
We denounce,' while the frs
the reverse. We point wit
pride is the beginning of the platform
of the party in whose hands the pres
ent prosperity of the country ha
been formulated. The democrat
are always finding fault, they are nc
compatible with any mans views
When they are unable to find faul
with the opposing party, they fight wit
their own men,.
Comparisons Made.
Speaker Hedrix deftly compared tn
prosperous situations of the preser
time with the panic and disastrou
period under democratic rule tie
years ago. Iowa and several of th
western states have advanced to sue
an extent that they now stand seren
yet strong i'll the nations eyes. Coz
