AS We have heretofore had something
to say in reference to the election of
State Primer, by the last Legislature,
which has been denied by, asl in, the
Democrat, We now propose to refer to the
subject again. The Des Moines cores.
pendent of the Democrat, under date of
January 25th, in speaking of the proceed
ings in the House just before the elec.
ton Of State Printer, said that motion
was made for recess and then, "The

"adjourn was in order, and he decided
"it was. He then proceeded to put the
"question what question 7 and decided
"the House adjourned. The Re-

from good Republican authority"
In the Adrcrtiscr Of March 18th we
stated that We would then not reply but
would give chance for that good Re-
