The piece blends a religious lesson on Jesus as the good shepherd with a long catalog of antique furnishings. It contrasts spiritual themes from John 10 with descriptions of mahogany parlor sets, gilt woodwork, hall stands, and a bull’s head chair motif.
Adopted at Cedar Rapids on July 1 1801 the Iowa Republicans approve President Harrison policies praise the coinage act and tariff concessions for western workers endorse temperance laws and local option while denouncing Horace Boies and the Democratic party for misrepresentation criticism of platform betrayals and calls for continued Republican control to protect liberty taxation and pensions for veterans.
The Inter Ocean editorial notes President Head’s Iowa address extols corn and farm wealth, refuting Boies calamitous claims. It cites yields, acreage, and comparisons with Illinois, while criticizing Labor Day political theater and Republican strategy in Keokuk.
The Dubuque Times condemns Governor Boies as a hard landlord in Grundy county claiming tenants pay high rents under iron clad leases. The paper offers 12.50 to 25 dollars per copy delivered to a chosen charity if Boies sends a true copy of such a lease used four to five years ago. The Herald acts as his organ and would relay the offer.
The speaker never planned to be in Keokuk on Labor Day. Democratic organizers used the date for politics and kept Wheeler listed as a speaker despite knowing he would not attend. A staged empty carriage was used to smear him and Republicans with the claim they expected his presence.
Keokuk Gate City cites Governor's Cherokee speech defending saloon rights and a jail delivery of J Ash in Griswold. It contrasts labor wages, German pork exports, and Republican actions under Harrison with Cleveland’s four-year period. Mentions Mrs. Lease comments and Iowa laborers’ wages.
The Upholsterer describes folding screens with Watteau prints and mirrors on panels. Secretaries and desks for ladies feature novel contrivances and ingenious designs. A five piece rococo suite, hand carved, with tapestry duplicates the Seventeenth century style.
