The Democratic STATE Ticket.

Mn. EnhToR: The ticket nominated by the
Democratic State Convention, on Thursday

your editorial head, lie, in all respects, an
excellent one. The candidates are we'll To-
Gated, and, in every case, reliable Demo-
Gratis, and men of sterling integrity of char.
acter. Judge Douglas, who heads the tick
ct, for the post Of Secretary of State, is a
resident Of Benton county, in the Cedar
River Valley, some fifty mile north of Iowa
City. His name was presented to the Con.
vention by the united delegations from the
northern part of the State, who, without an
exception, endorsed him Is . good Demo-
crat, and q good man. He was present at
the Convention, and addressed it, after his
nomination, making . very favorable i'm
preston upon that body. He is q large,
we'll built man. with q frank, open express
sion Of countenance, and apparently be-
tween forty and forty-fve years of age
His friends warmly urged his nomination,
and those who met him for the first time
were ct once prepossessed In his favor.
Theodore s. Parvin, the present highly
popular Register of the State Land Office,
was nominated without o competitor, and
by reclamation for State Auditor. All men,
political opponents as well as friends, con-
cede that he has discharged the duties of
Register with scrupulous fidelity; and no
one will undertake TO question his equal fit
ness for the position Of Auditor. There is
not a man in the State better suited to that
post. Mr.. Parvin's residence il in Musca-
tine, on the Mississippi 8 H. Lorer, nom
mated by the Convention for the responsi-
BILE position OF State Treasurer, resides In

DISORDER IN THE REPUBLICAN FoRcEs.-Dis-
order and dismay pervade the ranks of the
Republicans in this district, which will soon
freak out into open hostility. In nomina-
ting Mr.. Vandever they set aside every
prominent worker and politician in their
w ranks. O'ConnOr, of Muscatine, who
has done them more service than any other
man in their ranks; Smyth, of Lynn, who
possesses both influence and ability Thor
ington. of davenport. who is ready to creep
into and through all the dark holes in
christendom Price, of Clayton, who has as
much sly cunning as a fox; Clark. Of Iowa
City, who always has the faculty Of making
his hearers think he is on all sides Of a ques-
ton all Of these stagers have been set aside
much to the disappointment of masses ofthe
party. This leaven begins to work, and
as our readers will soon see, produce its fruit.
They need not be surprised il one of the
most prominent Of the men whom We have
named should take the stump against Mr..
Vandever. Our word for it, there is fun
ahead.-Exprsss d, Herald.

priations. We further believed that
all professed democrats would be gni-
ded by the golden rule OF the party
namely, ian economical administra-
ton Of government" But we have
been disappointed in n or two men
in our City Council, calling themselves
democrats. We allude to Aid. Sears
aud AID. Mackintosh-the former too
much under the influence and control
Of certain financial operators to act
q manly and Independent part, and the
latteE so deeply welded to his own
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in improving
his large landed estate upon Harrison
street. as to utterly ignore the wretch
ed condition Of our finances, and the
groans of a tax-ridden public, and car
ny on, at the public expense, improve
ments upon his private property, that
will not be needed for public use for
years TO come.
Aid. Sears is, to a very great extent,
responsible for the extravaganza Of last
years expenditures. The confidential
servant of George b. Sargent, he read
lily undertook the engineering Of all
matters through the Council which his
master directed. Under the loan Of
100000 for street work, contracts
were let amounting to owe $l50,OOO,
utterly regardless of prices, or how or
when the contractors would be ulti-
mately paid. Without any legal right,
money specially appropriated by a vote
of the people fer improving the levee
and establishing water works, was ia
ken and appropriated to other uses,
and so large an Indebtedness created,
above the appropriations, as to require
a tax Of $4,000 to be levied this year,
upon a people poorly prepared for such
a levy. All this was done through the
joint continuance Of Sargent and his
man Sears.
To compensate him, a street called
Bridge Avenue, at the top of which
dwells Aid. Sears, was excavated at an
expense of thousands of dollars, and our
City Bonds placed in the hands of Aid.
Sears for sale, he reserving for his SER
vices, besides his salary, various sums
amounting in all, as allowed by the
Council, to the following sums:

Amounting In oil to $s,43o Oh
A snug little sum considering that
the ordinance fixing the salary of AL
dermen expressly provides that 5000
shall be in full of all fees and compen-
sation for duties of Alderman. The
Mayor selected his "tool' as agent for
sale of bonds, for reasons best known
to himself.
There other expenditures which this
alderman has caused Of which we shall
speak in future.
Aid. Macintosh is another specimen
of equal celebrity. From 9TH to Lo-
Gust street he has cansed the erection
of public lamps as thick as the stars
in the milky-way. There are no less
than 40, at an annual cost of $50 to
each post or s1,764 in all, and this in
cludes eight lamps in the woods near
the dwelling of Mr.. Macintosh, one of
which is located IN the rear of his barn
gard. Thus above 9Th street upon
Harrison the public lamps cost nearly
one fourth Of the annual expenditure
by the city for gas. This is exceed
ingly profitable to Aid. Macintosh and
his lots, but a lax ridden people en-
quire, cui bono?
Under a joint committee for employ
ing laborers to work upon streets, Aid.
Macintosh is grading untravelled and
unopened cross streets upon his land,
cutting bitches, &C., in a locality where
the work will not be needed for years
for public use. Under the same plan
AID. Sears is grading Bridge Avenue
by quarrying rock and macadamizing
Front street at the expense of the city,
while in all other cases, owners of ad-
joining lots have PAID for such work.
If this system of reckless extravaganza
is to be pursued, where shall we end /!
with bankruptcy staring us in the face
and the people groaning under the
burthen Of a heavy tax. We deem
the conduct of these men wholly un-
justifable and so we believe the people
will think.
We shall have more to soy about
these aud kindred topics hereafter.
