tut IHe
Mr.. JOURNAL In your issue of the 3lst
ult. an article upon "the Iowa Senator
ship'' over the signature of &C Plato " de-
serves some notice.
The famous production purports to have
its origin in Louisa county, but the legitim-
ate inference is that the author intended that
his article should 60 forth to the Republi
cans of this State, as the sentiment of the
Republican party of Muscatine county.
Upon that question l beg leave to take is
sue. ssPlato" thinks that the election of
Gov. Grimes to the U. S Senate would work
disaster and ruin to the Republican party :
in short that Grimes is nowhere and deserves
nothing on the score of either inert or past
services.
In this country where the people are the
source of power, some erespect at least should
be given to the opinion of the people.
have no fear of contradiction when l say
that nineteen twentieths of the Republican
votes of this State are for Gov. Grimes in
preference to any other man and particular
ly in the north and western portion of the
State. In our own (Muscatine) county, the
majority for the Gov. would not be less thar
any other portion of the State, and in fact
have heard it stated that there were but
Two Republicans in Muscatine county that
were opposed to the election of Gov. Grimes
to the U. s. Senate. In my political econ

Who is Comm OdOre Paulding

Is just now asked by everybody. The
question is thus answered by the Albany
Evening Journal:
His father was that celebr ated John Paul-
ding, the Peekskill farmer, who was one Of
the three captors OF Major Andre. Hiram
was born in Westchester County and early
in life entered the navy, where lie has grad
ually worked his way up through the grades
of Midshipman, Lieutenant, Commander and
Cap ain. He has ever been one of the most
efficient and valued officers in the service :;
and Government short time since showed
its appreciation of the fact, by appointing
him to the command of the Home Squad
ron, which he now holds.
We observe the AtIas intlmates that the
Commodore Exceeded his Instructions
so promptly capturing Walker. The same
complaint was made by Arnold's friends
against John Paulding. Nevertheless, his
tory and public opinion justified the one
and will Justify the other.

full of meaa inuendo to let it pass unno-
ticed. 1t is impossible to mistake the au-
thorship of the article. There are but two
men in Muscatne, who would give express
sion or publicity to its sentiment. Those
two gentlemen innocently assume to them
selves the modest position of being '' the
Republican party of Muscatine county,
There is bare possibility of their being
mistaken. They are both noted for being

account of its inherent justice and right, or
to man on account OF his ability and vir-
tues.
The people of Iowa, in an almost unanim-
Gus voice, proclaim for Gov. Grimes as the
successor Of Gen. Geo. w. Jones to the U.
S. Senate, on the score of fitness. As a
statesman, legislator, profound thinker, en-
ergetic worker and successful operator, and
as man of influence at home and abroad,
in councils of State and nation, he stands
head and shoulders above all his competit-
ors and were he defeated by some trick of
political gambling, should fear the indig-
nation of the masses Of the Republican par
ty. But upon this subject have no misgive-
ings The Legislature will reflect the will
of the people, and Gov. Grimes will be NOM
mated by an almost unanimous vote upon
the first ballot in the Republican caucus.
The most painful thing in the communi-
cation of s' Plato - is the attitude in which
hs seeks to place one of our worthy citizens.
He speaks of him as the prominent compet-
itor for Senatorial honors - no, not hOnOrs
to him = but to honor the position. Now
Mr.. {" Plato," you seek to beslin,e worthy
citizen at shameful rate under the guise
of friendship-to his injury.
Did you suppose that you could make the
incredulous of this locality believe that you
could so BEsMEAR GOOD citizen of Musca-
tine with your FULsoME FLATrERY that the
Legislature would SWALLOW HIM at first sight
to do what? "To honor the Office of U.
S. Senator !'- shame on you, &c Plato," for
SO unjustly BEsLlMlNc good man, to induce
him to join in IA fruitless crusade against the
PEOPLES CANDIDATE The sand banks of New
Boston would be Il more successful field for
the expansion o "Platos' genius than in
seeking to give Gov. Grimes Fits through a

MY WILLIE.

There is time for flowers to bloom,
A time to fade and die;
A time for vernal showers to fall,
And storms to sweep the sky:
A time for cheeks to beam with joy,
For hearts to quake W tn fears;
For eyes with kindlng hopes to glow,
Or swim with flowing tears.
A flower once on my bosom bloomed,
gloried in its charms;
But while gazed, and smiled, and loved,
It faded in my arms.
M Villia~l -! my dearest boy,
W3 forced with thee to part,
Thos ne 'er shalt know the agony
OF grief that wrung my heart.
When, gently pillowsd on my breast,
Thy head in quiet lay,
I knew thou vast but fragile dust,
Thy form but crumbling clay.
Still, oft hoped thy smile would cheer
Ny last deciin@ng years,
Woeid calm thy fathers heaving sighs,
And hush his anxious fears.
But thou, sweet boy, hast one to rest,
Sleep on. in quiet sleep;
would not call thee back to earth,
Sleep on, in quiet sleep.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE IN New JERSEY.
The following is from the Newark

The following is from the Newark
Journal:
Women formerly possessed, and at
various times exercised, the elective
franchise in New Jersey. BY the Con-
stitution adopted Jnly 2, 1776, the
privilege Of voting was accorded to 'all
inhabitants Of full age," $50 procla-
nation money, clear estate, and who
had resided "a certain time within the
county. As this would be construed to
include women, in 1890, prominent
Quaker member Of the Assembly had
the act so drawn IS to read che or she"
when referring to qualified voters. No
change was made until 1907, and
women often voted when the elections
we're close, or there was any special
excitement. In the Presidential con-
test Of 1900, there were many instances
Of their voting. At In election in
Hunterdon county, in 1902, even some
women Of color were allowed to vote,
and their ballots elected a member Of
the Legislature. In 1907 an act was
passed restricting the right Of suffrage
to free white male citizens Of twenty.
one years. And thus was extinguished
female suffrage in New Jersey.
