He was only excusing his own defeat, and he had to attribute it to delivery. I remember, as if it were yesterday, the first great speaker I ever heard. It was Robert G. Ingersoll, delivering a lecture in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1884. He had an audience which would have inspired eloquence in almost any breast.
Fortunately the principal rooms, the parlor and the office, were about the same size as those in the Rue Louis-le-Grand, so there need be but little change in furnishing; and they would bring their furniture from the Rue des Moines.
"Why, perhaps I could if I was in shape, but seven miles was all I cared about this morning." "Well, I think it was mighty brave of you to walk that far, I don't care why you did it," announced Connie with emphasis. "Brave!" he repeated. "I have walked three times seven miles, often, when I was in school." "Oh, I mean the whole thing clear from Des Moines," explained Connie.
He's doing very well up there, and it takes him two hours to get the length of Main Street on the first day after he arrives. Every one has to hear about it. Sadie Gastit comes home from Des Moines with a baby; regular custom of hers. Sometimes she makes the same baby do for two years, but usually it's a new one.
He had the courage to look once more into her brown eyes, with their red-gold deeps, as he shook hands. The clasp of her hand was firm and frank. "Good-by! I hope I shall see you again.

Pursuant to this call of the people of the county of Des Moines for an Iowa District convention, delegates from seven organized counties west of the Mississippi met at the Capitol in Burlington on Monday, November 6, 1837, and organized themselves into a "Territorial Convention." As such they continued in session for three successive days.
Large numbers of Iowa women who had never helped before now did effective work. The long-time suffragists devoted themselves wholly to the campaign. Many Iowa men gave great assistance. A Men's League for Woman Suffrage, John H. Denison, president, was organized with headquarters at Des Moines and branches in all the large cities, forty altogether.
Taking the picture, and regarding it intently for a moment, he said: "Why, yes that's Duncan from Des Moines. I know him very well. He has been here often." "Well, has he been here within two weeks?" "Yes, he was here about two weeks ago on a spree, and he bought a ticket for St. Paul." "Are you quite sure about that?" "Perfectly sure," answered the ticket agent.
