mously increased. Republicans Of Iowa,
nail ii il fabrication to the counter. The
State taxes for the year 1858 have been
reduced nearly q 90 900! Let
the sweeping SANDER be met at every
point, and repulse the slandcrcrs with
the record in your hand.
Remember Your School Fund.
I'll. C.,.>vi runa vi iowa has always
been under the management Of Demo-
cratic Superintendents. Remember that
one Of those Superintendent has crimi-
nally taken from this sacred fund, and
squandered on partizan favorites more
than sirty,frc thousand dollars And
yrt this leeherous dcfaulter, who thus
ruthlessly assailed the fund that was ded-
ieated t. the educational interests of your
children, is deliberately defended by the
leading Democratic papers of the State.
REMEMBER, that while in 1858 the
amonnt distributed to schools was S11l,-
900, the amount at the same time paid to
School Fund Commissioner, by Demo.
cratic School Superintendent, was nearly
thirty thousand doiiars!
Remember also, tha. the RcpuhNuaD
Legislature, last winter, saved TO- the
| School fund, the sum of $50, ,000 per yean.
Republicans did this, and let the votes Of
Iowa give them credit for ih

use of 5000, 900 from seven to TEN per
cent
Fifteen Democrats in the House voted
against the amendment to reduce the In
sane Asylum appropriation from 500, 600
to 10000.
Voters of Iowa, these are facts sustain
ed by the Journals Of your Legislature
! Sill while it il q fact notorious to all
men who will take the trouble to examine
the record, that Democratic Legislators
were the first to propose heavy expendi-
lures, and the last to yield to q more
conservative economy in the management
of the State Treasury; but it is no less
true that they had hardly retired from
their seats in the General Assembly, be-
fore they struck the key note of Repubi-
can ext avagance which was to govern
the entire Loeofoco orchestra during the
campaign. The Democratic party of
Iowa to-day have but the miserable frag-
ment of a rotten plank left in their des-
olate platform and with the enthusiasm
OF doomed men conscious Of a total dis
comfture in October, they clasp tho
shapeless relic of their decaycd plank to
their breasts, and shout 'ErtraUagancer'
That have left the "nigger an tie conssi-
tstton' to work out his mission in silence,
they have stricken down the young gi-
ant of Squatter sovereignty in their
| State Convention; thay have tramplsd
him IN the dust, until his distorted fes-
lures, convulsed with the throcs of death,
have given eren them thrill Of disgust;
thy kave hugged the English swindle
until the object of their affection has
TUNED hideous corse in their embrace;
and yet with all their crimes, and errors,
and changes, and corruption elinging to
their souls aud bodies, their leaders stand
upholding the plank which is unable to
support itself, and cry aloud for the De-
mocratic hosts to rally to victory
