Dubuque Herald, October 2, 1860:

Preparations for the Douglas Demonstration

We are informed by a staunch democrat from the northern portion of Jackson county - that 200 wagons loaded with people, will attend the Douglas demonstration on the 11th inst. from that vicinity alone. We also learn that the people of Fayette county are coming down in solid column to see the “Little Giant.”
(refers to the speech of Stephen A. Douglas, Democratic candidate for President, scheduled for October 11, 1860, in the Public Square, Dubuque.)
