/ missioned Mr.. John Hsnyy Clay MuJd
who formerly lived at Burlington. to %
Ito Iowa last fall and expend their monev
and contributions in aid Of whiesery; and
by the success which attended the Efforts
! then made. aided BY the illsgitimate ques.
, tons which certain portions Of The dslnoo.
racy unwisely permitted u di.trac, their
counsels. we were prevented from elect.
ing Democratic Senator'S.
Well, Mr.. Mudd and another. 4 Mr..
johnson, will pay their respects to the
people Of Iowa, pending the coming Con.
eress'onaI elections, in the hope, that the
means employed last fall may be more Of.
ficacious now than they were :hsn.
These worthless will probably reach
your bordersabout the ooh June, in view
TO operate in every county in Doth districts
before the election.
Let the democracy Of Iowa meet ,he.e
scouGdreis, who come there with MONEY
contributed by the whig party of the
North and East, to be expended in cor.
rnptlng the elective franchise, and give
them what they so richly deserve, q free
passage IRON the State, with indubitable
marks Of the public estimation. What!
shall the young states Of the West be
thought tit 10 be bought by those agents Of
Glars Legislators. and the plund.rers ofthe
people through leealized privileges. ia
no, 10 be tolerated tina, the bIoated capital.
lists Of New England, and thos. who seek
to p'under the people through leealized
robbery, shall use their ill-got,en means
in corrup'ing the source Of power and
the fountain Of political honors, by send
ing their deputies and emissaries among
the people to malign honest and worthy
citizens and corrupt the free choice Of
the people by bribery, either direct or in.
direct, open "r covert Let those who at
tempt it be marked; let them fesl tbs
weight Of the public displessure.
That John Henry Cla, Mudd was fur.
nishsd with money last fall by The Wing
Congressional Committee then assembled
here, to 60 TO Iowa to operate upon YOUR
election, l haze proof. A relative and
friend OF a New England Senator who
lives here, and who is whig, will 50 de.
pose, and for ought know, the aforesaid
Mr.. Mud may be willing to admit it him.
sell; for he was before poor enough in
Burlington, not paying the most sacred
obligations, as Mr.. Jeremiah Smith, Jr,
can depose. But all of sudden h. is
,rav ceiling some three or four thousand
miles, enjoying all the luxuries none,
can procure and paying the expenses Of
the political campaign in Iowa!
These things do no. happen without our
especial " onder, and upon careful enqui-
ry. found the truth to be as I suspected
and as state it here. -...
You any also rely that the intention nou
is. 10 make another effort Of the same kind.
BUT ON A LARGER SCALE AND
WITH MORE MEANS. KIM.
Mudd and his coadjutor will be there again
by the first of July; and if he is no, us!!
received, il will not be because he does not

l think j: my duty to give you notice
: that the ,colf is upon his walk; that you
may warn the people OF Iowa Of the .sri
,natior in which they are held by Fede.-
al leaders and their agents, and that s,liia.
bic means may be taken to overcome these
designs Of the federal party upon the pc,
,i.lcsl character Of your State.
l have seen with pleasure that the De-
mocracy Of Iowa hav e acquitted themselves
well in the elections this Spring, SO far az
Judges are concerned, and altho' the ysts
ior Judge Mason for Superintendent is
not such as his distinguished character
merits, ye: he nor his friends need not re.
pine on that score, the vote there is ne:i.
er party test nor test Of personal ueT
1T. Let blu, the ardor Of the early election,
IN Iowa, these Of 1910, Al and 'is, pre-.
vail in your Congressional elections, aid
al " i'll be well. Federal leaders abroad,
and their agents in dirty and vllaious
work, will be rebuked and the people q
Iowa will not hear of them again soon.
