Triumph Of the People.

cial compact. Their aim is to secure the
greatest good to the greatest number
But their motives and their principles
have been most grossly misrepresenled
by their opponents. They have been ac-
cused Of entertaining the most despicable
views, utterly inimical TO the rights and
welfare of the people, when all their acts
show that they are the real friends Of the
people. While il has been the sole aim
of the loco foco leaders, TO secure place
and power. with their emolumen,s, at The
expense even of principle while TO at
tain their object these leaders would have
one set of principles for the North and
another for the South. and thus adap,
themselves TO the mere prejudices of men
in different sections of the countryside
Wings have gone steadily forward with
out swerving to the RICH, hand or TO the
left without trucking to any-with the
firm conviction that their aim and OBJ
ject would eventually be appreciated by
the people and that their principles would
yet become triumphant.
The lighting up of the horizon all
around us indicates the dawnng of that
day. The decep'ions played upon the
good people of Pennsylvania have been
signally rebuked. The people have rail-
lied around the Wing Standard in Ohio,

Gazette.
We are by no means responsible for,
neither are we called upon to vindicate,
any of the acts Of the federal party. But
whoever says that the Wing party "uev-
err has advocated doctrines which were
calculated to promote or protect American
industry" says tina, which is downright
falsehood. If the writer in the Gazette
intended to couple the whig party with
the federal party, he may consider himself
resting under the charge of falsehood. -
He is endeavoring TO play the same game
tina, his party played in Pennsylvania be-
fore the last Presidential election, when
they declared that Mr. Polk was a better
Protection man than Mr. Clay. But that
game was blocked by the people of Penn

can't win in Iowa. Protection to Ameri-
can Industry is one of the darling aitri-
butes of the Wing party. Who does not

the writer that he hides himself under on

drift. He knows that many real demo-
Gratis, who have hitherto acted with and
kept the loco foco party in power, go for
the tariff Of 1912, which has done more
than any other measure in promoting the
prosperity and protecting the industry of
Ire country, and he is fearful that they
will new cooperate with the wings in re-
pealng the present British Tariff and thus
facilitate the breaking down of that power.
To avert their certain doom he wishes TO
make it appear that it is not the wings,
but The loco focos who delight in protect

by the course of the Gazette that princ

BURLINGTON HAWK-EYE.
Roasting Loco Foc0s.

The loco ioco papers in this Territory
seem quite sure that they will have all
they desire as the fruit Of the late election.
They boast of having all the State officers
at their disposal and insist that they are
sure of the Legislature and Of two loco
foco U. S. Senators. They set down the
Senate as composed of IL democrats and
wings, and the House 90 Wings and 10
Democrats. In counting the Democrats,
rhey cypher out the three Independent
Democrats Of Lee as if they had already
obtained warraniee tile deed to all their
votes. Now, in the first place they have
not yet received the official vote of the
Polk. Dallas. Marion and Jasper district,
which is entitled 10 one Senator and two
Representatives. 1t may be possible that
when the official vote comes in, they may
be wrong in claiming these members.
In the second place the Independent
Democrts of Lee are not so fully idenlif-
ed with the loco foco party as to be gov
erned by the clique either a. Burlington
or Iowa City. They were elected under
peculiar circumstances as well as were
the Wings Of Lee, who will cooperate
with them, and as we understand it thew
can accede to the wishes Of their conslit.
uents in no other way than by going for
the best men, irrespective of any claims
partyism may have upon them. We
know that undue measures have been put
in requisilion to induce the independent
democrats to 90 for certain locofocos for
the U. S. Senate, bu, we are much mis-
taken in the character Of the men if they
90 contrary TO the wishes of their imme
diate constituents, or permit any applan-
ces to swerve them from their integrity.
The Gazette seems to be destitute of
any responsible editor at the present time.
We presume it is under the supervision
of the Rorer and Dodge clique, and as
long as it is so it must be quite harmless.
The presiding genius whose peculiar pro.
vince seems to be to attack the positions
of the Hawk-Eye. has entirely mistaken
his calling. Look, for instance. at his
lame defence of the British Tariff Of 1916,
where he attempts to throw dust in the
eyes of his readers in relation to the re.
duction of the tariff on ready made cloth.

Iowa Election.

While discussing the improperly OF
inserting tina. anli-republican feature IN
our Constitution which nulli6es the ma
iorty, we suggested that the people might
possibly at some time or other elect ma
jorily of Wings to The Legislature, and
in that case might desire to have some
things done by their Representatives
which the Constitution prohibited not
outstanding it might be required by a
majority of the people. The idea of our
ever having majority Of Wings in the
Legislature was hooted at by the loco
foco presses at the time. as thing impos-
sible. They had SO gerry wandered the
Territory tina, they calculated on at least
a majority of twenty members. But how
is il now, at the very first election! The
Wings have a majority in the Lower
House and only a nominal majority
against them on joint ballot. The cleo
ton has sent dismay and disappointment
into the loco foco ranks. The efforts by
the people against the loco focos was
aimed, not so much at securing the cleo
lion of State officers or of the Congress-
men. as of obtaining Il majority in the
Legislature. We should have accom-
plished the object. had not one or two
counties failed in doing their duty. As it
is the Wings have done well in Iowa, and
in this, their first State Election, they
have given an earnest that the People will
triumph at the next election by sending
two more staunch w higs to swell the ma
jority in the next Congress Of the United
