Esectisn FER County Ossicers.
While the Importance of the issues in.
volved BY the vote on the Constitution il
sufficiently great to call out the entire vote
OF the county on Monday next, We trust that
tho interest in that question will not be so
absorbing as to cause our friends to forget
the election of county officers. That elec-
ton is one OF very considerable Importance
to the county. And the Republicans owe il
TO their cause and their candidates to exert
oil the energy and influence they possess, to
secure the success OF the excellent ticket pre-
ssntsd by the County Convention for the
SURFACES Of the independent voters Of Lee
county.
Young Republican Convention at
Dcs Motncs.
We have received the proceedings Of a
convention Of Republican Young Men, held
at Des Moines on the 18th instant, with a
request to publish. We would gladly CON-
ply With the request, but they came to hand
just at the last moment before our weekly
paper was put to press, which precluded the
possibility of their appearance to-day, and
another weeks delay win make them rather
stale news.
We have barely room to say that the Con-
vention was called for the purpose Of enlist
ing the Young Men more emphaticaly and
Enthusiastically in the cause. That it was
she largest convention Of similar character
ever held in Central Iowa. That the utmost
enthusiasm and unanimity OF feeling pre-
vailed. That an excellent series of resolu.
tions was adopted. That Dr.. Davis, Dumas
Robinson, j. NJ. Dixon, and DR.. W. II. Fa.
mer addressed the Convention. That I
Mass State Convention Of Republican Young
Men WAS recommended to be held at Des
Moines some time in September, in case tbs
New Constitution 10 adopted. And that the
spirit and example Of the Young Republc cans
Of Contr Al Iowa could be initiated with en-
inent advantage throughout the State
Young men At the heart Of the State You
have our applause and shall have our hearty
cooperation in the movement you have mi
tiated. The enthusiasm OF the Young Guard
IL TOO Important an element Of success to be
lost sight Of.
