The Republican State Convention, held in
this city yesterdaythe proceedings Of
which are given in our columns to.day--is
conceded BY ell to have been one Of the
most intelligent bodies Of men ever assem-
blcd in this city. 1t was composed Of the
working, influential, bold and gallant spirits
Of the State; the very flower Of the Repub-
lican organization.
In view of the uncertainty in regard to
the fate Of the New Constitution, and the
condition of the roads sitter Aaprotraeted
rain, extending nearly all over the State,
the attendance was unexpectedly large; and
the presence Of such class Of men was all
the more gratifying. The old veterans were
present to aid by their counsels, and the
young men were on hand, full of zeal and
fire, eager to enter upon canvass, the inn
portance of which seemed to be apprecia-
ted by all.
OF Judge Lowe, who seemed to combine
the most strength in the convention from
the start, and upon whom the choice Of the
convention finally centered, it is not neces-
sary that we should say much. He has
state reputation. One of its earliest set
tiers, he has during a residence of nineteen
years within its borders, witnessed its
growth from a handful Of settlers, to great
and fourishing State. His reputation is
above reproach. Well read, liberal minded,
and Literally educated, he has striven to act
Well his part in every position of life. At
the bar Of one of the leading cities Of Iowa
he is regarded US one of the foremost men;
and during five years that he occupied the
position Of Judge of the first District, he
added steadily to his reputation as just
and able jurist. He has devoted much at
tention and time to agricultural pursuits,
having as much partiality for them Us for
the law. He resided ten years at Musca-
tine, and the vote given him by the Musca-
tine delegation shows how he is regarded in.
that vicinity. Indeed, we cannot but re-
gard the choice of the Convention, as one
that will commend itself to the Republicans
Of Iowa, as wise and fortunate.
Gran Faville, of Mitchell, Mitchell coun-
tJ, the nominee for Lieutenant Governor,
was warmly urged by his own and the neigh
boring delegations, rs the man for the place
and for the time. Like Judge Lowe, he is
known and esteemed at home for his moral
worth, his genial temper and high intellec-
tual qualities. The Lieutenant Governor is

Educational Board of Iowa. 1t is fit and
proper, therefore, that a man occupying the
position, should not only be a scholar, but
enlisted in and thoroughly posted as to the
Educational Reforms and movements Of the
country. Such a man, as we are ISSUED, is
MIR. Faville. He has been in the State near
ly three years, devoting his attention exclu-
clusively to agricultural pursuits. While
his hands have been hardened BY toll in this
new field of labor, he has taken care to
keep himself thoroughly posted as to edu-
cational and political matters. A warm and
jealous Republican, from principle, with a
fine address, he cannot fail to produce
favorable impression. He graduated at the
Wesleyan University, Conn, and has spent
nearly fifteen years in active employment as
an instructor, having been connected with
the Cazenovia Seminary, N. y, West Poult-
ney Academy, Vt, Mckenzie College, H.,
and the ohio Wesleyan Female College,
