The result in this district was against
Mr.. Anders, he conceding the election
of Mr.. Geiser by 12O votes. Anders
carried Clayton by 96, Allamakee by
q, Winneshiek by Ss, Howard by IL,
Mitchell by E42. Geiser carries
Chickasaw by 521 and Fayette by IA.
Floyd, CerroGordo and Worth counties
have not yet been heard from.
The fight against Ander was a dirty
one, and nothing was left undone to
create prejudice against him everywhere
by the representatives of the Palmer
and Buckner democracy (?)-anti Bryan.
1t is strange that democrats will
allow themselves to be misled by the
statements of the enemies of the true
democracy. In Cresco, the political
/ personnel of the cohorts lined up for
Geiser should have been a warning to
those democrats who believe in the
democracy of Bryan. Chief among the
Geiser workers was man who in 1896
openly talked and voted for Palmer
eaAAA DuSh1lSAs icaS USCli q 1CpuDliSctI
ever since and only two years ago was
one of the ardent Cummins republicans
of the town. The democratic pedigree
of others of the workers and some of
the delegates to the county convention,
shows similar crosses of the Cleve-
landWall Street democracy and will
be discussed in later issues Of the
Plain Dealer.
| We believe the democrats of this
county, as whole, are not in favor of
placing the democracy of the state in
control of the bushwhackers and we
propose to acquaint them with the
political pedigree Of those who wear
the cloak of democracy to aid them in
connivance with the republican party
to further their personal ambitions.

to have been her star boarder. and
that, without her testimony II would
be impossible to convict him.
Mrs. Cymbalowsh has evidently ex.

her husband into her head that they
might marry. Wlash, however. has
