The dodying and oquivocation q the DEM
ocratic party IN Iowa, and Of It's candidate
for Governor, on the Banking question, are
well known 70 our readers, - Is the refusal
Of that party TO express an opinion in their
State Convention, on this important issuc.
In this part Of tho State Mr.. Samuels sndea-
vorcd to create the impression, tina, while
opposed TO Banks in principle, be would not,
if elected Governor, veto any Constitutional
Bank bill presented to him for signature
But the difficulty is, that the man who
would construe the Constitution 50 dishon-
cstly and 50 absurdly as he has done in 9th
err particulars, would not fail to find g Con-
stitutional objections" 10 any Banking bill
which the ingenuity Of Republican Legisla-
ture could devise. We have, however, some
thing for our readers, directly bearing on
this point. Mr.. Ssmnels has two organs in
Duhuqne. Each is trying TO excel the other
in devotion 20 Ben NJ. Samurls, to make up
for few slight differences OF opinion on
other subjects. The Erpess 4 Herald Of last
Friday, contained a column article in oppo.
n,ion 20 Baaks. IL takes no compromising
position, "a Mr.. Samuels docs, ii certain
| quarters, but comes out Hat -fcoted and ram
pant against Banks. Its arguments are fee.
BILE, and oil founded upon the present troub-
les in finances - troubles in thcmsclvc.
proving irrefutably that Iowa aas, hare
good Banking system Of her own. The En-
press article thus closes:
| /" Vote ior the Democratic candidate, the
representative of true Democracy, Ben NJ
Samucls, who stands pledged % VETO ANY
BANK BILL BROUGHT BEFORE HIM!
You will find him the firm advocate Of the
peoples rights, The staasrh champion Of a ~,
taiic currency"
Here you have il from Samnels' particular
organ, and the leading Democratic paper il
the State, that if elected he will c,to an
Bank bill brought LeIoss him, without refer
cnce to constitutionality, or an, thing else.
The other Dubuque Democratic organ
comes out strongly against all Banks. Al
article in the Norihwest, of last Thursday
thus closes:
"Who, then, wants paper money Wh'
wants 10 extend the rag-money business
Tho.e who do, may safely vote for Republi
can members Of the Legislature, and 70
Spiritualism Lowe but those who have La,
enough Of the filthy rag-moncy system
should vote for Samuel., and the Democrat
nominees for the Legislature
Now We say that the People, the Peopl
Of Iowa, want not rag money, but they d
want sound aud safe system of Banking
under which they may be provided wit
what this Democratic paper calls "rag-mon
Cyl" but what VIC shall receive, use, and
need be lap BY with confidence a. curstacy
as the representative and equivalent Of spe
Gle. 1.-THE people place the Republican par
~ in power, they will soon be provided wit
sneh currency--at least, bill will b
passed to establish proper Banking system
and il will rest with the people themsclve
10 say whether or not the measure i sue
rs they can approve. But the above ex
tracts prove that if the Democracy ar
placed in power, the People will not hav
the opportunity Of deciding upon the merit
Of bill providing for Banking system
II such bill could possibly he engineers
through the Legislature, Samuels woul,
veto IT, How then can the Peoplc--an,
rivhf in the face of MIR saanafarv trptl.le.-
vote with the so-called Democratic party
