from the northwestern states, who still
swear by Johnson. should hardly

Just how deeply the feelings of the
Johnson supporters we're wounded by
the animosity of the Bryan leaders is
not known, as since the convention the
Johnson men have been silent on the
matter. The opening of the campaign
in these northwestern states will bring
the matter to an issue.

to win. He must carry New York at
all events, which Is a great improba-
bility, although a possibility.
The campaign will have to develop
wonderful gains for Mr.. Bryan If he
is to be elected. The country is not
prepared for so radical and p~erilous
a revolution.

THE couRIER,s BIRTHDAY PRESS

The installation of the new 24-page
Goss press will mark another epoch
in the Courier's history. 1t will go to
show the great growth in the Cour-
ler's circulation. 1t will give the
strongest evidence of the faith of it's
publishers in the growth of Ottumwa,
and their efforts to give the people
the best service possible. The Courier
believes it is a good investment for
the paper, and as the paper is an OF
tumwa institution, if it is good for
the paper it will be good for Ottum-
wa.
The new press will be in the nature
Of a birthday present for the Courier.
The press will be installed about
September 1. The Courier will be 60
years old in August.
On December %, 1886, the state Of
Iowa was admitted to the union and

%ventions at which the nominations for

call a convention, as per a resolution
to that effect passed yesterday.
