To the Readers Of the journal.

To the Readers Of the Journal.
As you have been informed, we have agreed
to take the chair editorial for short time.
The perplexing duties pressing upon an editor
of daily paper render some assistance
necessary during campaign.
As we are equally inexperienced in the
matter, and unknown to you, neither of US
will indulge very high expectations of our
performances; consequently, we do not
labor under the fear of disappointing either
you or ourselves.
We intend to speak the truth, support the
Republican party, and keep our temper.
The first is due to ourselves, the second to
you, the third to our opponents.
Being young, We do not expect to enighten
or entertain you, but to present you with a
daily abstract of the political news from
different parts Of the country, and express
our opinions on the political questions of
the day, efficiently and plainly. for what
they are worth.
We believe with all earnestness that the
Republican party of this country is the party
of Right, Progress and Prosperity. We
shall therefore contend sincerely as well as
zealously for its success.
Towards the members of the Press of this
city and elsewhere, especially of the opposite
party, we shall study always to maintain
that courtesy which is due between gentle
men. HUGH j. CAMPBELL.

The Republican Party and the state
Treasury.

The English swindle newspapers of the
State still keep up the cry of frauds and
populations, on the State Treasury by the
Republican party, and as sort of excuse
for downright falsehood, they keep parading
in their columns report made by COM
mittee of the last Senate, headed by the Hon
Lyman Cook, of Burlington. The facts are,
that Morris, State Treasurer, was authorized
to negotiate State bonds to the amount Of
5000, 900. An effort was made to require
him to bring gold OF silver into the State so
as to prevent him dealing in exchange which
might become worthless before he could
convert it. Our recollection is that Senator
Trimble, of Davis county, made the motion,
and it was supported by him and Senator
Rankin, of this county. The Des Moines
Journal shows that Senator Neal spoke
against the proposition, and that he and
Senator Coolbaugh, both Democrats, and
both bankers, voted against it, as we'll as
several other Democrats. The motion was
defeated. Thus instructed, Morris brought
from New York 1915 900 in gold and s. 25, 900
in the drafts of Cook, Sargent Il Co. Morris
sold exchange to the amount of near $50, 900
to the banking houses of Hoyt, Sherman &
Co. and B. f. Allen, Of Des Moines. A few
appointed, and reported the facts. The
banking houses of Des Moines advised the
Committee that they had sent the exchange
East, and as soon as they were advised of
the payment they would pay. Tie Commit
tee found that the drafts, certificates of de
post and money on hand, exceeded Morris
liability over $1,000 The drafts and certi-
ficates have since been paid, and Morris does
h. Cfofn al ".
have the most reliable assurance of the truth
of this statement. 1t is true, beyond any
doubt. Can this be said Of Eads? His
securities, some Of the best men in the
county, are soon to be hunted down in order
to respond to his enormous squandering of
the school fund. The Republican Legisla-
ture investigated the charges against Eads
and exposed his defalcation. A Republican
Legislature examined any charge or any
expressed suspicion against any and every
Republican ofice-holder. No fraud was
concealed, or charge smothered, but the
brightest light was admitted into every nook
and corner of every public Office. A public
printer defrauded the Treasury, and Re-
publican Legislature exposed the fraud and
ordered an immediate suit. The printer
gave good security, and there is no loss to
the tate. The State has not lost and will
not lose.a dollar from the conduc of any
Office holder elected by the Republicans
The men that held State Offices, ON whom
suspicion rested, were not re-nominated by
the State Convention which recently assem-
bled Mt Iowa City. The Republican party
upholds no man unless heis above suspicion,
even though those suspicious arc, as in this
instance, III grounded.--Gate City.

A TALE FOR TICKLE LOVERS,

emily, Emily, my darling, is it
true? Say that again--only once
again, dear Emily"
Emily lifted up her face, with soft,
tremulous smile, as her hazel eyes an
swered the ardent questionings Of her
lovers glance.
Yes, yes, Edward,'' she replied,
and the words were sweet to his eager
ear.
"Again, and again, Emily!

said the young man.
He bent his handsome head to kiss
the lips that had said, what no other
lips had ever said to him, 81 love YOU y
But his caress was given back with
half -timid, yet earnest tenderness, and
his soft blue eyes beamed with happy
emotion. 1t was Edward Vane's first
wooing, and the pleasure he experien-
ced was as rare and delicious as it was
novel for to the young lover declaring
his earliest attachment, is not the timid
Eyes," and the kiss Of her he loves,
the sweetest thing he has ever known
Under the trees in the garden of the
old parsonage, TREY walked together in
the sunset, after this sweet confession
walked side by side, Edward holding
Emily's hand, aud talking tendcrly as
they went, with his warm heart beam
ing in his, handsome face, and Emily
listening silently, with happiness
whose very silence manifested its depth
and the sun sank lower, and the shad-
ows grew longer as the pleasant mo-
ments slipped away golden moments
to Edward and Emily; and finally as
the twilight began to gather, they heart
the voice Of Emily's father, calling
her from his study.
They went back and now, standing
for single instant longer in the ole
stone porch, under the curtaining vines
Edward drew Emily to his breast again
and he pressed his lips gently to hel
cheek. t7sz ae'sesisa
"a few moments, my darling, be-
fore you 60 to him." SAID Edward
.sLet me see him first. ! must tel

A happy thrill ran through Emily''
heart. She laid her head quietly OIL
her lovers bosom, and kissed softl,
the beloved hand that held her own il
a lingering clasp.
