Dodge Drawn Off.

Experience is school Master. So think
the Democracy of Iowa. The experience of
the present canvass in this State has impart-
ed wisdom and prudence to the Democra-
cy of Wapello county The experience of
the canvass Of Kirkwood and Dodge in the
southern and western counties has not been
favorable to the latter; in fact, it has been
ascertained that Kirkwood used the Briga-
der up. Hence they have resolved to with
draw the valiant Gen. from the canvass,
which is to be continued and terminated in
the north part Of the State, and that after
the appointment at Keosauqua, on the 18TH
Mr.. Kirkwood canvaSses the northern coun-
ties alone. This cowardy abandonment of
a canvass commenced with so much swagger
and braggadocio, this backing down after
the grandiloquent declaration on starting out
that the sword was drawn and the scabbard
thrown away, will be readily understood by
the people to mean, that Dodge is beat, that
he cannot sustain himself and his cause i'm
fair debate, and that discretion being the
better part of valor, what further fighting the
valiant General does he had better put as
great distance between Mr.. lakewood and
himself as possible. -aH

The Republican Party of Iowa.

The administration of the affairs of this
State by the Republican Party, notwithstan-
ding the denunciations of a vindictive and
relentless opposition, has been eminently
wise, beneficent, and economical, a fact which
the present canvass, lift effects nothing more,
is most clearly establishing 1t is seldom, if
ever that party has been able to meet so
triumphantly, so fierce and unscrlprlous an
assault as is now being concertedly male
upon the Republican Party, of this State. =
They show a record that any party might be
proud of. They meet and repel with entire
success every charge made against them
They show for money expended, agood con-
sideration received to the State; they show
resources enough to meet every liability and
leave Sl4,sQ5 the Treasury they show
that in spite of the hard times, the taxes for
State purposes have been reduced, aud are
now less per capita, than under Democratic
rule; they show school Fund saved from
speculation and robbery by dishonest officials;
they show institutions an honor to the State
and to the age built and paved for :; they
have fostered Agriculture, Education, and
every humane, benevolent and useful object
calculated to developc the resources of the
State and elevate, enople and enlghten its

The Ticket nominated by the Convention
on Saturday will be found at the head Of
our columns.
The Convention was well attended, every
Township but one being represented. There
was no delegation from Competine.
The men nominated are every way quail
fed for the several offices for which they are
named, and we trust that the Republican
Party in the county will use their best ex-
ertions to elect them.
The gentlemen proposed for the legislature
are both able and well known citizens of the
county, H. d. Ives Esq. residing at Eddy
vIfein the northwestern part and }. c..
Mitchell, Esq in Pleasant Tp, in the eastern
part The former is a Lawyer by profession,
and the latter a farmer. They are both IA
mliar with the interests and wants of the
county, are good Republicans, and ifelected,
can be relief upon to do much to advance
the interests of the county. In The most
important matter of the election Of Urited

side. e.. .f. a3ar- a-. .|. ~ t.n,

become stronger, as the canvass advances
Mr.. Turner, candidate for Sheriff resides
in Pleasant Township, and is an active, com
pctant business man, enioring the unboun-
ded confidence of those WHO know him best
He viii make an excellent Sheriff if elected

A. H. Griswold Of Blakesburgh, who
was nominated for Treasurer and Recorder,
enjoys deserved popularity in that part of
the county where he has resided several
years, and has qualifications Of high order
for the important position for which he is
naIIIed, and to which he ought to be elected,
and will he If the Republicans do their duty.
Of Prof. t. G. Woodward, of this city,
who is named for superintendent of Common
Schools, it is unnecessary to say to those
who know him, that he has every possible
qualification for the office indeed, that no
man in the county could bring to it more
practical experience and ability as an Edu-
