People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 February 1895 — The Story of a Campaign. [ARTICLE]
The Story of a Campaign.
Willis J. Abbot, the political editor of the Chicago Times, who is recognized by his fellow journalists as one of the ablest and cleverest political writers in the country, whether, one is in sympathy with his views or not, tells the story of the populist campaign in Chicago in the Arena for February. Mr. Abbot had the advantage all through the campaigb of last autumn of being in touch with the leaders of the different elements that are gradually forming a new party, with new social and economic aims in American politics, and his paper has value for all those who want to get at the facts regardless of dominating prejudices. Even the opponents of every sort of change in the political phases of the country should study this paper, in order to estimate the potency of this new political sentiment that is in the air—and is not peculiar to America, but is seizing upon the heart and brain of the whole great western world.
It may not be generally known that Rensselaer has the metropolitan convenience, a professional chiropodist. But such is the case, and his name is Dr. Wm. H. Babb, and if you have any doubts of his ability to painlessly extract corns, bunions, ingrowing toe nails and other peculiarities of the f£et, command his services. This notice is written in a spirit of forgiveness and published without charge, prompted by a superabundance of gratitude, the attaches of this office having paid cash for the professional services rendered by the worthy doctor. Albert Overton visited friends in Battle Ground, last Sunday.
