For the Office Of Superintendent Of
Public Instruction,
MATURIN l.. FISHER
has been pressated, than whom. there
is not an ADLER, or more competent man
in the State. When he was President
Of the Senate, his very enemies gave
him credit, AZ talented, upright, and
impartial officer. He il one Of our
oldest citizens, and is we'll aud favora-
bly known to the people. OfMr. Bug
bee, the Republican candidate, We know
nothing, except that We have seen him,
and we will venture the assertion, that
were he aud Mr.. Fisher presented to
crowd Of strangers for their votes, and
the strangers to choo pc from personal
appearance, nine vote out Of ten would
be east for Mr.. Fish4 r. We have no
doubt but Mr.. Bugbee is very anna
bic young man. At this present wri-
ting, we know nothing against his fair
fame but when we saw him, the
thought hashelacross our mind young
man, your face is too narrow, and your
head too small, to make YOU a ruler
among the people Of Iowa" We men
ton this in no disrespectful SENSE
Far be it fiom a, 10 find fault with .
man for what he cannot help; but We
find fault with the party that will, in
the pride Of its strength, nominate any
person it pleases; and then say 70 the
people, "tbat i, is good enough for
YOU, YOU must take what sce give, be
it good or bad" II these are not the
words. vet this SONS to be the spirit
shown hy the dominant Abolition and
Fusion party OF the State at present.
Mere We required to perform toll
some Journey on horseback. and has-
ing asked for an animal to carry us,
one party III Md present us with a
well trained trusty stced. tie Other
with snckng colt, We should most
certainly choose the animal capable u
performing the required labor.
Werepca,. that, agains, Mr.. Bug bee

we hav. uulhing to say ; but when he
is pu, up as candidate before The
people. then. "c SAY that iii point 0
