MR.. RICH.

i We learn that the prospects of Mr. Rich in
| Louisa, Muscatine and Johnson counties arc
| much better than was anticipated. We under
stand that in Louisa they promise to give him
e larger majority tEan in any other county ac.
cording to the number Of voters. Lee county
boys, do you hear that!
Both candidates addressed the people in iowa
city the other day; and we are told that Mr.
Rich made much the best impression, although
he had to speak under great disadvantage, hav-
ing fit of ague on him at the time!
We erred last week in stating that Mr. R. had
regaincd his health. We are sorry to learn
that he is still in quite i'll health.
We have good news from Henry and Lee
counties, and shall be disappointed if Rich does
not cross the Iowa with maj ority of upwards
of 300.

MIR RICH.--THE GAZETTE.

Having been most grossly misrepresented by
the editor of the Gazette on subject which
he has harped upon for several weeks, we
feel called upon to set the matter right, and
we shall do it in way that will place him
in position which we should not like to oc-
cupy in this community. We allude to the
following charge which appeared in the Ga
zette on the 9Th ult. and which has been re-
peated in that print several times since =
as Who is Mr. Rich p Let james G. Ed
wards, editor Of the Fort Madison Patriot, an
swer, when he called Mr. r. in that place, in
1898, drunken rund,cay Tailor from Palany
ra, NO! Thus spoke and wrote the editor Of
the Hawkeye some two years ago, and that
statement stood uncontradctcd upon the
cslumns of his paper until July 80, lS4o."
We are not in the habit of calling any one
to an account for Misrepresentation where
we are merely and personally interested, be-
cause they have invariably recoiled on their
authors and redounded to our bencht-nor
should we do it now did we not think the
above and similar misstatements were made
for the purpose Of defeating the election OF
Mr. Rich. w feel called upon in the present
instance By every consideration of justice to
ourself and Mr. Rich to pronounce the above
quotation an absolute falsehood, and we now
call upon the editor of the Gazette either to
prove what he has reiterated on this subject
against us or to acknowledge his statement to
be without foundation.
We shall now show the reader all zoe euer
did say in relation to that subject The occa-
sion of our. having said any thing was this

in the latter part of September I'VE had not

TO CONTRACTORS.

| SEALED proposals (post paid if sent by
~ maid viii be received by the undersign.
ed at the Post. Office in Iowa city, until the
I'd October proximo, to construct the follow
ing works on the road from Du Buque to the
northern boundary of Missouri viz, the repair

pinicon river; a new bridge over the Mali.
coke-tah and the entire construction Of tina.
portion of the road, as located by Mr. Thigh
| man, extending from Iowa city to English
river.
In the repair of the Wapsepinicon bridge
! it will be required, that the foundation of the
| abutments be dug out until a firm surface is
reached that facing stone shall reach at least
two feet into the wall from the outer surface
and be laid with good firm bearings; that the
upper return or wing wall of the western
abutment be firmly embedded in the bank,
and extended ut least ten feet higher up the
river at the upper extremity; that tho in.
terror Of the walls of the abutments and of
the piers be firmly packed with rubblc stone
to the upper surface of the work and that
the whole structure be raised three feet An
additional and stronger ice-brcaker will also
be required; and the posts of the tressle frame
must be united with the string pieces by strong
bands Of iron.
| The bridge over the Mali.coke.tah vii, res.
on two abutments of stone placed on q firm
! foundation on the line of ligh.water mark,
and ono triangular pier OF firmly united tim

THE BATTLE GROuND.

From the strenuous efforts made by the pre-
sent administration in Ohio, there is every evi
dence to believe that they intend to make that
State the great Thcrmopyln of their politica
contest. They have sent all their most nflu.
entail and talented men into that State with
the vain hope of beating Corwin. If they can,
by "any conceivable possibility accomplish
this, t'ey will consider Van Durcn's reelection
sure. Although no calculating Wing antici-
patcs that even the loss of Ohio would defeat
Gen. Harrison, still every one looks forward
Will! great anxiety to the result Of the 18th OF
next month. If the spoilsmen can beat Corwin
in October, they will then say they have beat
en- lip in his own State; and they think the
influence of such a story will operate to defeat
him in New York and Pennsylvania If mere
policy governed the people in those two States
the tocos might hope for something through
such an influence; but the people act from
principle in this contest-they look upon that
contest as the pivot on which the veal or woe
of the nation is to turn-and they will act ac.
cordngly. The Wings. are fighting for prin.
ciples-fundamental principles-against the
most corrupt and hypocritical administration
that ever cursed our country, and they must
and will succeed
The Wings in the Buckeye State are by no
means idle. There was to have been a great
gathering at Dayton on the 10th, at which Har.
rlson, Clay, Corwin, Ewing, Pren,ss, and other
patriots. were expected to attend.

PRODUCTS OF IOWA.

Mr. Lewis F. Temple, sent US an ONION the
other day, which measured one foot and three
inches in circumference and weighed sixteen
ounces and quarter. 1t was raised on his
farm this season from the seed.
PEACHES We omitted to acknowledge in
our last present Of some peaches from our
neighbor, Mr. George W. Kelley. They grew
in his garden, and we believe are the FIRST pro.
ducts of the kind in this part of Iowa. Those
we received were beauties ; our benevolcnce,
however, would not allow us to take but one
tastc--that was delicious-and we can recon-.
mend them as being first rate.
More YEr- We have just had another taste

and a half miles from town. His trees have
been in bearing two years, and the fruit is cS.

Deen received and requiring publicatioi, we
dio' on the 9Th of September, issue an Extra.
AS the election was to take place about the
10th OF that month, we embraced the oppor-
tunlty and prepared an article Of about three
columns, in which we took up the several
candidates for the Council and House and
spoke of the individual merits of each in their
order according to the time they were brought
out. The name of Mr. Rich came last but
one. The following is ,chct ace said, and
ALL WE SAID about him, and that Extra
was the last paper zoe eoer published in Fort
Madison -
ALFRED RICH is young man now prac-
Using law in this place. The symputhies of
a number have been awakened in his behalf,
and they have put him forward as a candidate
to represent them in the next Legislature He
has resided here but short time and we
know Of nothing derogatory to his character,
since he took up his abode among us. There
are, however, some things said about him
while residing in Missouri in or near Palmy.
"a. which are far less favorable, and if true,
show at least that he has considerable
amount of temerty in taking such an early
start for the legislature
If the editor of the Gazette is not satisfied
that this is all we said, we hereby give him
the privilege of examining our files Of the
Fort Madison Patriot, provided nc will take
the trouble to call at our Office. If he can
not prove that we said it-and we know he
cannot-who will be chargea6lc with having
published Mr. Rich as drunken suna,cay
Tailor from Palmyra, Mo! We never saw
the publication until it appeared in the Ca
zette, and if nobody else ever did, of course

CONVENTION QUESTION

We publish the following, not because we
are IN favor Of the Convention, but simply to
give our readers all the light our correspond
Ients may see fit to throw upon the subject,
either for or against the Convention. We do
not believe that it is necessary for the people to
vote for the Convention at the present time, in
order to secure our admission into the Union
before another Presidential Gle ction. 1t need
not take more than twelve months TO 20 thro'
all the prelimnaries. Until the currency
question and the general policy of the country
becomes settled, it would be madness for the
people of this Territory to take upon themselves
the burthens Of State form of government.
Although there has been but little said about
it, we believe that large majority will vote
for the ''No Convention" ticket We hope all
will vote one way or the other, so that there
may be general expression of opinion on the
subject
