For Electors, L. Grand Byington, Of Iowa
CITY, (well known in these parts Is lawyer,
violent Democrat, and one of the most selfish
man, sthat .braathas the iresAaie o. saVsn} -
LINCOLN CLARK, Of Dubuque, (formerly Speaker
Of, the, Iowa Hpue of Rspressntatives-an
unainch,ng Democrat-a gentleman lot con-
siderable popularity whore best known;
Rev. Henry Clay Dean, Of Mt. Pleasant, twea
known hsvs IS sswagsering, noisy poiiacian'
Of some considerable talent); Martin
Van Buren, Bennett, Of Marion county, e
young lawyer, editor and politician, who
plsysd . very conspicuous part in tho Legisl
i,turs, lass winter, by his incessant talking
about everything and nothing probably
resolved this nomination for hisungentaemanly
.tt.ck upon Gov. Kirkwood'sp inaugural.
This ticket Wa undoubtedly selected by
reason of its being much better at talking
than running. Probably no sixteen men IN
the State could be found who could talk as
much in the same length Of time as the above
named four. itloG aJ 5sha. 3sp'u lifta 81
= For State officers, j. N. Corse received the
empty honor of nomination for Secretary Of
State, we presume in consideration Of the
expense incurred and lobbying done aides
MONIES, last winter, to secure for his house
the publishing Of the new Code Of Practice
which Secretary Sells, as one Of the Board
did not see fit to give him at his figures. Mr..
O. is proprietor Of book and stationery house
in Burlington, J. w. Ellis, Of Davis county,
We know nothing about, but presume him y
be "Demoerat and Temperance man.
and therefore nominated for Treasurer. j
H. Mixaeld, Of Bremen county, . lawy er o.
Waysrly, We believe, received the nomination
for Auditor. = No proof being at hand Of hi
particular guilty acts, he is by the law pre-
sunasd innocent. His close proximity TO tn
Pattses is against him.. VIM. Acolintock, Q
Fayette county, is lawyer Of some repute il
the Fayette District, but is not known ct larg
enough to beat Charley Nourse for Attorne!
General. Pat. Robb, of Woodbury. county
was put in nomination for Register Of LAM
Ofice. Weare sorry for Pat !; young, modest
unassuming, generous, polite-withal . gen
tleman of the old Scotch type-found in ba'
company, he must suffer the fate Of "Do
Tray" We tender him our sympathies, 70
we know, in different company, he deserve
better fate. His friends were cruel, bui
only twenty -four and handsome, he ma.
retrieve his fortunes already lost. ''!"
The nominations closed by setting u
Injunction Grant, Esq, Of Davenport, 70
Supreme Judge, of whom weneed say nothin
in this latitude. His personal popularity il
Scott county (') will undoubtedly give tina
county to the Democracy. It is said that
should he be elected, he will assume exclusiv
control Of all injunctions which may com
before the Supreme Bench. We presum
these are all sound on the Douglas goose
They Will run well, no. doubt. 81 s9'5
