IL might be supposed thaa aimee Mr.
Kirkwocd's effort to escape The charges
of proaigaey and corruption against
himsea and his party, has hsen 30 thor
aagaly exposed by the Demecrstis press,
be would Try 10 coantsraes its effect, by
devoting more attsntion 20 that sabiset.
The people have bean looking for this,
and expecting that be would certainly
sndeavor to clear bis skirts Of 20 serious
charge 81 that Of virtually admitting
all shat has been alledgsd as 10 The
gross zai-administrssion Of the RepRb-
lican party, whose candidate he is.--
Honest Republicans, who woald gladly
sontinus to support that party, il they
could be convinced that matters are not
50 bad a. represented against them, have
been watching his eourss, &nxioaaly az
pecting reasonable dafsnsa at ths
hands OF Mr. KirkwOod, thai they might
be enabled, with clear conscience, 10
give him their votes. But they have
been disappointed, and ara new satisfsd
that the grave charges agsinss Kirkw0od
and his eonfederatss are bus toe true
and they can only hope for an honest,
econimisal Standardization of eur State
govoEnmsHs by slseting honest nsn to
the chief Executive and Judicial ofsoss
men Of Tried integrity aud statesman
ship, whose interests, a. citizens Of the
stats--nOs mere polititious-ars idanti-
fed with thoss Of the people.
Even thsprsssnt corrupt Stats oEscials
have considered that some defence was
necessary, and, through = circular from
the Auditor Of State, are making dss-
psrats effort 70 rsfuss tAe charges against
them But Kirkwood, knowing thai
those charges ars true, and that this
weak and fimsy tissue Of falssH6od &nd
misrepresentation, by which ID il at
tempted 70 refute them, would Al once
be exposed by his competitor, makas no
more effort as y dsfsncs than be did ut
first. The best evidence of sagaeisy be
has shown, Is in treating Auditor Cat
tell's circular as unworthy o. any eonG-
danee, and not 10 be relied upon. He
still rides his niggsr hobby with whip
and spur, pretending entire ignorance
Of The fact that the people o. Iowa have
important interests at stalks upon thu
rssals Of this slsetien--ss viii be seen
BY the following extract Of . letter from
Cedar county, giving "a account Of thsI
discussion between him snd Gen, Dodge
st Tipton, on the Sth inst.
aBfr. Kirkwucd almost entirely is-
nOres State politics, and makes 40 Ao-
esptahie dafsnea Of his party. The
charges which are sek out IN your paper,
and others, are LEFT aurefuEsd, and BIZ
