a few days before the election We were no
aware of the fact that Lincoln Clark's nam,
was not on the ticket until Monday of tn,

approve of the act We also dsapproved ofth

Clark who pressed his nomination at Muscaine
without giving the interior counties a chanc
OF being represented. We think the faults an
indiscretions Of both sides of this local questio
has led TO the unfortunate result which bot
parties row deplofe and which we believe the
will guard against in future. We labored hon
cstlv and to the best of ouI ability to secure tn
re election of Judge Clark and far from caus
ing tickets to be printed without Judge Clark
name, we had tickets printed at our own ex
pcnse for the use Of this and Iowa counties wit
the name of Judge Clark and entirely on b
account and we are very sorry that there wei
not more OF them voted IT, however, any pres

, The Reporter and not the Express but still "
do not think that the intelligent voters Of Ced;

they were controlled by the same influences tn

We have considered it our duty TO say til
much in order to set the matter right before Il
country, and the friends, and enemies of Il
Eapress, which has been laboring under an II
just charge.
