Des Moines, Oct. 2G.-"I wish Gov
error Larrabee could deliver his
speech in every town in Iowa" Thus
wrote an enthusiastic republican who
heard his address in Rock Rapids. He
declared that it was the most con-
vincing republican speech he had ever
heard and that its delivery everywhere
in Iowa would result in the biggest
republican majority ever known. This
report is in line with others received
with regard to the meetings address,
ed by the Sage of Clermont. There
was fear that owing to the age Of
the ex-governor he might not have
the physical capacity to take care of
meeting all by himself, hence it was
arranged that another should be with
him at each of his meetings; but at
gresham Hubbard could not be pres
ent. But the report from there is to
the effect that Larrabee showed HIM
self abundanty able to occupy the
instructive address in support of re-
will be impossible for Larrabee to
speak in more than a dozen places his
speech as delivered at Fayette has
been printed by the republican state
committee and will be given general
circulation aside from going to a
half million readers thru the rural
press.
M. d. O'Connell, solicitor Of the
treasury, and Mr.. Lenroot, speaker Of
the Wisconsin house, are two new
/. speakers who will be In the state the
last week OF the campaign. Mr.. -oaCon-
nell has not missed campaign in
Iowa for many years and there Is gen.
eral desire that he again be heard.
Mr. Lenroot is brilliant man who
made Il fine race for governor in his
state. 1t is reported that the speech
es of Senator Saunders, of Cour
Bluffs, are we'll received and that he
is doing great good for the ticket
wherever he goes. He is one of the
most eloquent of the state speakers
But little attention has been paid here
to the scheme to give the corpora ton
bolt a boost in the Third district by a
letter which Judge Blair has been in
duced to sign. Considering the source
it is regarded as unlikely that any con-
siderable number of republicans will
thus be drawn into the demo-corpora-
ton camp. There is no surprise what
ever in the discovery at Waterloo that
Julian Richards is now at work in the
democratic camp. Altho republican
newspapers long since ceased to give
him support by buying his maledictions
on the republican party, he has con-
tinued to make headquarters at the
kirkwood house and to spend his time
in gathering information along the
same line as that which distinguished
him when he was making an alleged
race for nomination on the republican
ticket. He has been sort of chore
boy running back and forth between
the Hunter headquarters and the state
house for some time. He is supposed
to be responsible for the garbled sta
tistics" which Mr.. Porter was furnish
ed at the outset of his campaign, the
fa,sity of which have been thoroughly
exposed by quotation of the records.
That Richards has been actively at
work in the interest of the Hunter
Marsh Miller political combine, and
has been in the service of the railroads
this year as for many years past, has
not been doubted here in Des Moines,
where the facts are accessible. That
he was the instigator of the Blair bolt
ing letter causes no surprise.
Joe A. Dyer, of this CITY, has been
doing some fine work for the republic
can ticket this year. He has been util-
lied largely to fill in where speakers
are compelled to cancel dates, but he
has also been given some good dates
He had two meetings in Boone county
the past week, Madrid and Ogden, and
both were excellent ones. One of the
most effective matters he presents re-
lates to the matter of the expenditures
of the state government. He shows
that by far the largest single item of
increase of state expenses goes to the
state college at Ames, and then shows
what has been accomplished by this
expenditure for the farmers of the
state But the fact is that wherever
republican speakers go and present
simple truths brushing away the false
hoods and the prejudices Of the voters,
