"A LITTLE MORE GRAPE"

says the walls of the Republican citadel
" have been laid strong, and its trenches

walls have been laid strong, and its trenches

it requires something more potent than
grape shot to denolish a military citadel,
so our Democratic opponents will find on
the llth day Of October, that their indis-
crimnate discharges of grape shot at the
Republican citadel, have been without. the
desired effect. ga little more grape" will
not cause the Republican citadel to totter,
for its " walls have been laid strong, and
its trenches dug deep" in the hearts of the
people. The Democrats can never hope to
take or rae the Republican citadel, until
they discard the use of grape shot, and have
recourse to bomb shells and "sixty- pound
ers." Even then, they must get "bisger
guns" than Dodge and Batbitt. Their
guns are not, in the first place, of sullicien,
calibcr--if wo except the bore part-and
are altogether of too short range. Every
discharge of these pieces, is only waste OF
ammun,tion-thcy cannot project bomb

THE EADS, DEFALCATIOS

1t has often been charged by the Republic
cans press of the State and by Republican
speakers, that DR.. LADS was a defauter to
the School Fund, to large amount. The
Democratic press and Democratic stumpers,
have as often met thi, charge by saving,
" if DR.. EADs is defautcr to the School
Fund, why don't the Republicans bring him
to trial, and prove it," In this way, Baker
and Trimble met this charge, before the
people Of this city, last year. This is the
way it has ever been met, by the Democra-
ey. The sifnifcance Of this reply will be
the better understood, by the perusal Of the
following extract, taken from the Muscatine
Journal. The Journal is replying to the
Dubuque Herald, and shows up beautifully
the inlm'table eilrontery Of our Democratic
opponents, in asking US why We don't prore

The foregoing is compiled from Senate
Document of Feb. 9, 1858, and the census
returns; and does not include payments on
account of the public debt. If these were
added, it would make the total for 1857,
s, pa ,5S7.37. The disbursements under
the head of :" miscellaneous" for the year
ending July LIST, 1857, amount to SIS, $780,
1891!
Compare this miscellaneous item with
that of the Auditor Of Iowa, in his report
Of the same year ($S, 945.6l) about which
his party makes so much ado
Contrast, also. these further facts: The
first five years expenses under Democratic
rule in Iowa, averaged As cents per head
while five years under later Republican rule
average l5 cents per head.
In 1910, just after the close of the admin
istration Of the founder Of the Republican
party, THOMAS JEFFERSON, the average of
expenditure per head, was IS cents. Under
MIR. Buchanan, the head of the Democratic
party, the average is 1896 per head.
With increase Of population aud expendi-
lures, the Republican party in Iowa reduce
the expenditures to less than one third the
Democratic average per head.

Gu the LIST of July, 1857, the Democratic
party started on the Administration of that
year with balance in the Treasury Of
$i6,SO2. sS5, as certified by the Senate doc
ument above referred to. Yet in December
1857, the Secretary of the Treasury knocked
at the doors of Congress for power to issue
$20,000,000 of Treasury notes, beside the
surplus in the Treasury, and the current
revenue, in order to keep the wheels Of gov.

before the close of the same session, the
Administration again implored them for a
grant Of $l5, 100000 more of the same
paper money. "

THINGS IS WORKING.

A little more than two weeks ago, and
previous to the assembling of the (so-called)
" Peoples Cow ention," the leader of the
Independents, boldly asserted that the Re-
publican candidate for County Judge, would
not poll thirty:fve votes in the County
The Independent Convention met, and the
"people" resolved to support whom they
pleased, for County officers. "People's''
stock Immediately rose above par. Jealous
sticklers for the " interests Of the People"
made the air vocal with offers to bet that
tho Independent candidate for County
Judge would poll three votes to the Repub-
l;can candidates one. A number Of bets
were made on these terms. A few days later,
and "the people" were not so independent
they only offered to bet on t'co to one in
favor Of the Independent candidate, as
against the Republican candidate, MIR. DA-
NON. These 6 bets /" were freely taken by
N. Republicans. Things still kept cork

growing fainter, and fainter, and fainter
until to. day, the Independents are not dis

II FAD 1T.

We publish on the first page of our paper
of today, an article from the Republican
State Central Committee, addressed "To
the Voters of Iowa." This Address should
be read by every Republican-by every can,
did, intelligent, reasoning man in the State,
because it most effectualy explodes all the
charges Of fraud, peculation, corruption
and extravaganza, urged against the Reput-
lican party, by Dodge, Eads, Elwood, Tom
linson, Babbitt & Co. The matters set forth
IN this Address, are facts, unanswerable and
irrefutable-so plain that even she who
runs may read" Every candid, reas oning
man, after a perusal of this document, must
and will come to the conclusion that the De-
mocratic party manufactured very poor
article Of /" thunder" for this campaign,
and that the said " thunder was ever un.
accompanied BY the least particle of light
ming. Hence 1t is not to be wondered at,
that little or NO damage has been done to
the Republican forces. ......
Republican extravaganza and corruption,
have been ventilated upon the stump and
through the organs, by the Democracy,
pretty thoroughly for the past three months.
In fact, we have had " nothing else /" from
our opponents, and they are "still harpiag
upon my daughter''-to be continued until
the day of election. 1t is their only stock
in trade-and the only argument suited to
the capacities of such small beer politicians
as Dodge, Babbitt & Co., for the reason
that it is only such an argument that affords
them ample opportunities for INDUCING their
innate propensity to fals,fy and misreprc-
